Episode 414 - Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Resistance, chapters 1-3

Episode 414: Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Resistance, chapters 1-3


‘This mobile suit is my greatest achievement,’ he told his son standing right next to him.

Under the grim dystopian cyberpunk metropolis of Neo-Auckland a secretive organisation toils away to build the ultimate weapon in their fight against the oppressive global regime. And then they get wiped out in a single chapter so our stock designated protagonist Artemis Knight can get a generic tragic backstory and a cool robot. And having seen everything he knows and cares about destroyed before his eyes, our hero immediately forgets about them and flies off to join some bunch of strangers that he’s never actually met before? Will they accept this outsider into their ranks despite their own secretive agenda? Of course they will. Was there any doubt, really?

Now with waterproof paint!

Episode 413 - Escapism, chapters 9-14

Episode 413: Escapism, chapters 9-14


Good on ya evil Synth infiltrator who’s an agency of a shadowy organisation that thrives on seeding discord and keeping the surface world divided.

When you live in a world where the threat of somebody you know and love being replaced with a soleless robot killing machine is very real there are a number of things you can do to protect yourself. Clearly one of them is to let a creepy robot girl and her two alien robot buddies walk right on in and see your boss because nothing at all could go wrong with that plan at all. And if you’ve wrapped your mind around that then you’re probably ready for the next part of this bizarre semblance of fiction in which we learn that dangerous drugs might just be dangerous and that the best way to get inside a fortified city is to ask nicely. Throw in some entry-level transhumanism and you’re good to go!

Also there might be some Transformers in this Transformers crossover. Might.
