On this episode, join hosts Ed, Garrett, Dennis, Karen, & Kate along with returning guest Ryan as we discuss our surprise miniseries, the 1988 Starship Troopers OVA. As we're taking a small break from Rayearth, we're going to cover this 6 episode OVA over the course of the next 3 podcast episodes. Since this was never released in the US, you'll have to search for it on YouTube or similar video platforms to see it. Unlike the late 90s film, these soldiers have power armor to use! But before Johnny Rico can pilot one, he has to finish basic training first. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:09:55 - The Watchlist 0:31:06 - Our Starship Troopers History & Production Notes 0:52:13 - E1: JOHNNY 1:18:02 - E2: HENDRICK 1:44:15 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Special thanks Ryan for joining us on this episode!

On this episode, we got a literal full house on as there were no more microphones to use. Join hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, & Caitlin plus returning guests Rishon & Sanjay for the end of part 1 of Magic Knight Rayearth. We get the real form of Inouva, the real reason why Zagato is doing the things he's doing, the real reason why the girls were summoned, and the real villain of part one. For real? But it's not over yet. Though we are taking a break with this series, we will finish up part two in the very near future. But now we can compare it to the upcoming fall 2026 reboot. Hope you enjoyed this miniseries and will join us for part 2 soon! 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:15:01 - The Watchlist 0:47:09 - Karen's Magic Knight Rayearth History 0:51:55 - EP17: The Truth about Inouva, and the Return of Memories 1:10:11 - EP18: The Last Rune-God: Rayearth, the Lord of Fire 1:27:51 - EP19: Showdown!

On this episode, Ed, Kate, & Dennis are once again joined by Rishon & Sanjay for part 4 of our Magic Knight Rayearth miniseries, covering episodes 13-16. Caldina also turns over a new leaf thanks to Fuu & Ascot. The second Rune God appears! We also have the return of the bubble ship (sort of), Inouva makes his moves...on Ferio? And it's Lafarga's tragic backstory time. Plus, even more eclectic monster designs, and does the animation staff have something against Hikaru for this batch? 0:00:00 - Intro & Watchlist 0:10:55 - Dennis & Kate at One Piece Fest 0:19:43 - Some Anime News 0:27:49 - EP13: The Most Valuable Thing in this World 0:44:58 - EP14: Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu's Unyielding Wish 0:59:24 - EP15: The Second Rune-God: Windam, the Lord of the Skies 1:17:11 - EP16: A Powerful Foe!
