Dude, You Remember Macross?

Macross Plus has finally hit North American Home Video, but it seems that Dylan hasn't nabbed it just yet... This leads Coop to call in the burning wallet strike force—Celia, Maddy, and Giant Robot FM's Stephen Hero—to make a "tight 90" sale pitch. Are they successful or is the information high just too much for Dylan?
Ultimate Edition's sheer bang for your buck, the difficulties of working with unofficial translations as an anime academic, time-based psychic damage, and this one guy who laughed at children crying for Optimus Prime come up over the course of the conversation.

Music Used:
Information High (Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 OST)

After many rehearsals and copious weeks in anime, Coop and Dylan slide in before the holidays to say, "Yes, we DO remember Macross." They finally hit the finish line in this jumbo-sized finale featuring episodes 22 through 26 of Macross Delta.

While catching up, Coop is suddenly activated to gush about 1000xRESIST and Dylan learns that "Vita" means "Life".

Walküre's legacy, Delta's shortcomings with serious topics, toxic yaoi, and mental bowel movements also come up over the course of the conversation.

Thank you for listening all these years!

With Macross on its way to Disney+, Coop (@RiderStrike) and Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) finally return to the mic for a look at Macross Delta episodes 16 through 18.

It's high time we made that last sprint for the finish line.

The further joys of sports anime, Akira Toriyama's mechanical designs, that one guy's dickulture, and the benefits of a little time away come up over the course of the conversation.

After a busy hiatus filled with plenty of anime and acting, Coop and Dylan hop back into the podcasting cockpit alongside Maddy (Hyakushiki0087) to chat about the subtle brilliance of 2011's The Princess and the Pilot.

What've been up to, the similarities between Sports and Mecha anime, shout outs to Colombia, and the language of flowers come up during the conversation.
