After many years of putting off this series and then deciding to watch it within a week on a whim, Jonn and Dustin dive into the futuristic world of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. Also included is the greatest novel review you’ll ever hear about the Mobile Suit Gundam Novels.
(0:00 – 1:20:45) A Ninties ADV Cyberpunk Classic: Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 – This episode was a long time coming, and if anime were considered vintage by the standarts of automobile collectors, this just made it within the 26 year acceptance date. Our last review of Bubblegum Crisis was the OVA’s back in 2012 on another podcast we had, and you can find those episodes in our Review section. This also includes talk about the Legend of Galactic Heroes Test Dub on archive.org, Dustin history of first watching this show on the long forgotten cable network in South American countries named Locomotion in the summer of 2002, the musical talents of Akira Sudou and other colabs with the band, Pool and HVAC maintenance woes, Bubblegum Crisis merch talk, Discotek media talk and much more mixed in.
(1:20:45 – 3:02:50) The Jonn’s Review Closing Remark Segment – Jonn basically takes over this segment with anime he’s gotten around to watching Genesis Climber Mospeada, Red Photon Zillion and dives straight into our first ever book review of the Pulitzer Prize Raspberry Winner of the Mobile Suit Gundam novels. This also includes a bit of political talk, but its mostly the most glorified book review you’ll ever want to hear. This also includes our second recording to finalize the epic saga of Tomino storytelling JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT we were going to be done on the recording! This all includes our thoughts of the online Discotek Panel stream from Otakon 2024 and Dustin talks about Initial D dubbing for an ungodly amount of time. All this and more in this weeks episode!

After nearly us talking about reviewing this show for many years, the time has come for an Armored Trooper Votoms review once and for all!
(0:00 – 29:35) PreShow Votoms Talk: Seeing this as our first review of 2024 (even though it was recorded late in 2023) Jonn and Dustin finally get around to giving an over arching review of the Votoms universe. Our pre-Votoms discussion includes how we got into watching Votoms, RIP shoutout to RightStuf (our former supplier of content to review), Sentai Film and Steven Foster dubs talk, how you can watch the English test dub of Votoms on archive.org, and live action One Piece Talk.
(29:35 – 2:37:39) A War on Intergalactic Perportions – Armored Trooper Votoms Review: The time has finally come this podcast to dig deep into the Votoms universe of a series that has been in the discussions of anime mecha fandom since the 1980’s. Jonn recently watched all of Votoms while Dustin saw it ages ago and is going off his best memeory to well, remember what happens in this show. We cover nearly everything that has been made in the Votoms universe including what can be purchased from the Bluray set by Sentai Filmworks (i.e. ADV 2.0). Blended in this is our closing remarks in some form of fashion because that just how we roll. This goes into how Dustin moved into another apartment 50 feet from him back in October of 2023, what is considered modern gladiator sports, the influence of Tim Eldred in the Votoms universe, Gundam talk, Zeonic Scanlation releases Gaia Gear (a series Dustin has been interested in since the early 2000’s), Evangelion talk, that Calamity Jane kickstarter, the legacy of Tiger Electronics memories, the Speedrun Community, RIP Zippyshare, Jonn and Dustin discuss their watching of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, the Israeli-Hamas conflict and Ghost take on the war, and much more as usual.
