Hey everyone,
Jackson here with the Patreon letter. I hope you've been keeping well. I have been having a minor existential crisis, but that's just regular shit for me and I assume everyone else, none of us are as free to live the no thoughts head empty life as we so desire. No real cause for concern. But I do surprise myself by how often ...

You know I initially typed 2020 up there in the title.
Welcome to 2021! It's also pretty bad. Immediately whiffing on my new year's resolution to not do these letters at the very last minute but that's okay, we're going to be kind to ourselves for at least as long as COVID is disrupting our lives.
I was going to write a big thi...

We're joined again by Rick to conclude our journey through Tezuka's classic manga, Phoenix! This time we're reading volumes 9-12, including Strange Beings, Life, Sun, and Early Works. It's been a great journey, and thank you so much to Rick for taking us on it.

Sorry for the delay everyone, but it is finally GGP time. It is time to get into the real shit. It is time to argue about the metaphysical nature of Newtypes. And the metaphysical nature of Togusa's brain.

It's Newtype City here on Gundam X as the main factions are re-introduced in earnest, and the show puts forwards more of its ideas on Newtypes. Meanwhile, Ghost in the Shell brings us the truth Important If True was looking for.

It's been two weeks so the energy is spicy. Happy (lol) 2021 everyone, the anime continues to provide for us. We got some sick secret police bullshit in SAC and Gundam has simply never been so bountiful with newtypes so early in its run.

Hey everyone!
It is somewhat difficult to celebrate the ending of a terrible year when every material reality that made it so awful is in the process of getting exponentially worse, but still, goodbye 2020. Hopefully next year I shall be able to venture further than by back garden when it comes to going outside, but it's looking grim in th...

Every month I tell myself 'Em get the letter out mid-month, save yourself the consternation' and every month here we are on the last day sitting down to write. At least I'm off work from my day job today, it's not like I'm cramming or anything. It's just funny how resistant I am to ever making my podcast job easier on myself.
I start...

Merry Christmas, everyone! We’re all done with work for the year so we figured while we were vacationing in our beachside estate we would dust off the old VHSes of yore and check out a famous western cartoon that fills a huge historical gap. Turns out? Western cartoons are still really weird. Why, exactly, does Rodimus turn into a tru...

The anime is so good to us this week. We got newtypes. We got a god damn Amuro. We got Stand Alone Complex flexing on everyone. It's great. Sometimes the anime is good, and the podcasts follow.

Hey folks,
I was going to do a big sad introspective letter about new consoles and new years, about constantly falling short and feeling exhausted, etc etc, but yknow I feel like you could write that letter with your eyes closed right now and Em covered all the salient points re: our lack of year in review content this year. So I'm not goi...

Hello everyone! It's Em here, and it's the end of November. Not only does that mean that it's letter time, but it means that on a normal year (i.e. before this one) we would be locking our end of the year lists at the rollover in December to begin prepping for our end of the year podcasts across our various shows.

It's a miracle! Gundam is good again, as we dig into some cool mech action in this week's 08th MS Team, relieved that we are not mere haters. Meanwhile, as ever, Gunbuster is just showing the fuck off.
