For our October episode, we’ve got a giant News section, including more awful news from the world of video games, despair over the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, and some potentially hopeful news…
Sean ChapmanHostDo you wanna remind people that Japanimation Station season six part two is now underway, Toninathon part two: The Tears of Time.
We've had two episodes out so far, which is our opening two-parter on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, uh, which is, you know, one of our favorite shows ever.
We'd already reviewed it once, and we, it's the show so nice we reviewed it twice-
It's longer than our original review of Zeta Gundam, and I think it's very good.
Uh, it's the, the premiere episode at least was our highest rated premiere ever on YouTube.
This has been one of my favorite seasons we've ever done, so I'm very excited for people to hear it.
I'm very excited for people to get into part two where I feel like we have just kind of gone crazy with the [laughs] amount of like research-
Like it's, uh, partially because we are re-reviewing all these Gundam shows that we originally did.
Um, but it is just like, you know, uh, it's, it is just funny to see the inflation of the, uh, notes documents we're building [laughs] from episode to episode.
