LOOK WHAT SHOWED UP!!!* Cover art courtesy of @sean.zimmerit.moe! The Spirit of Huffman is alive and well!

Fun fact: Dozens of Macross video games that have come out before and after Plus (1994-95), but only two are directly tied to the OVA. The first, a shmup developed by MOSS and published by Banpresto, hit arcades in 1996.

Oh? What's that? A new Mobile Suit Breakdown episode dropped and I'm on it????

Finished up my SGDQ 2026 submissions! Nothing "new" this time around, but I did improve my DHNP PB so feeling good about that.

We're excited to announce that @sam-animeherald.bsky.social, our EIC, is a guest at Anime Boston! 💖 She's hosting 4 panels, including "So You Wanna Start An Anime Magazine" with @harleygin.bsky.social on Friday at 1:30PM. If you have your copies of AH mag, it'd be cool to them to get them signed. 👀

Oh nice! Have you checked out the recent Tomino Book Club podcast episodes by @giantrobotfm.bsky.social ? You might enjoy them if so.

grfm really came for my life on this one. love yall 🥰🔫

To bid farewell to U.C. 0093, @toysdream.bsky.social and @zeonicscans.bsky.social return to the pod to talk about Beltorchika’s Children! Much fun is had in this nearly 3-hour discussion! Big thanks to @nkmds.bsky.social, who generously read some unhinged Tomino prose! Become a patron to listen!

armored core fans when folks refer to bloodborne as one of fromsoft's earlier games

No kings except the professional wrestler with a jaguar mask

No kings except King Ghidora.

No Kings except Predaking

No kings except GaoGaiGar, the King of Braves.

Who wore it better?

If you're in NJ, looks like there's a pretty good night of robot cartoons at the Williams Center Cinema Underground in Rutherford this coming Thursday www.ticketweb.com/event/underr...

weird that this seems to be an action game and not a spreadsheet management sim where you have to file the proper paperwork to requisition the prefectural budget committee for a 5% increase in maintenance expenditures

Good morning

I don't remember if this video ever made it over to this site but one time Mae sent me a package of Gainax CD-ROMs to rip and scan onto Internet Archive and this happened, I fucking died

Fun fact: Quite a few GAINAX vets worked on Macross Plus (1994-95). In the early ‘90s the venerable studio was struggling—a bunch of projects died on the vine due to mismanagement. As a result, some of their most talented animators and artists sought work elsewhere.

my ps1 project, 196 games in, has finally made it to crash bandicoot this is not the first time I've streamed this game time for the runback www.twitch.tv/pmctrilogy

Do you think everytime Char shows up on the conan show he plays a clip from mac and me

Wait—there’s a third!

Say it with us: 👏Hatha-May👏

If you wanna hear me talk about more tokusatsu stuff, there's a really great episode of @giantrobotfm.bsky.social where we discuss the live action adaptation of Blue Blazes that has a section early on where several of us discuss the then-recent release of Anno's Shin Kamen Rider.

I've always thought Loran's voice was fitting, if a juuuust a bit high. Gym though...I can see the vision with casting McNeil, but much like his Harlock, it does not work for me. Sochie also gets an English voice in DWG3 which I recall being pretty good.

Party time!!! 🎉🎂🥳 Mech a Day is officially half a decade old! It’s been an honor delivering you a new giant robo for the last 1,826 days! Thank you all for your continued support, and a special thanks to GRFM patrons, who make this all possible! Here's to many more!

Fun fact: Even though ∀ Gundam (1999-2000) never received an official English dub, Loran and Gym have English voice actors. Annika Odegard and Scott McNeil voiced the duo in the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam games, which Bandai Namco published in America between 2007 and 2011.

The Big Three

SSJ -> SSJ2 -> SSJ3 -> SSJ4

same energy

Macross Plus be like:

God I love Robot Jox. Giant Robot FM has like 6 hours of podcast on a huge how mecha anime fan, a prolific schlock artist, and the author of The Forever War came together to make Robot Jox happen. But long story short they came together and got money from Cannon Films. @giantrobotfm.bsky.social

Bryan Cranston’s fever dreams:

Gundam X 30th Anniversary Logo revealed, let’s go! 🎉

I had a great time recording a three-hour discussion of "Char's Counterattack: Beltorchika Children" with @zeonicscans.bsky.social and the @giantrobotfm.bsky.social crew, but the process of cramming for the podcast left me with Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" stuck in my head.

this was peak aesthetic and you can't change my mind

Fun fact: Kōji Morimoto directed Tobe! Kujira no Pee (1991), a heartwarming story about two kids who attempt to save an albino whale from a life of captivity. Notably, he collaborated with an up-and-coming writer, Keiko Nobumoto, on the script. The two would go on to work on Macross Plus (1994-95).

I knew Robert Woodhead was ahead of his time, but this is nuts.
