  • Totally entertaining and you learn a lot too

    I absolutely love this podcast. I can’t remember how I ever stumbled upon it but got into it with the initial Gundam episodes and was glad to follow its transformation into an amazingly researched and entertaining podcast about anime, and also was happy to find the Weekly Stuff Podcast as well. These episodes are so filled with content that that are great for repeated playthroughs (I’ve listened to a lot of them over a dozen times) and you really do learn a lot about the show beyond someone’s op... more

  • Great Way to Find New Shows

The effort they put into their research makes every episode interesting and has made me check out shows that had never interested me before. If you enjoy learning ... more

Two hosts deliver long-form, analytical explorations of Tomino-era anime, tracing production histories, narrative design, and thematic threads across multiple works.
