Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description
easier & check out links for this episode!


Last month, the beginning of a well-loved OVA series turned 30
years old:  Yasuhiro Imagawa’s love letter to
mangaka Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s career, Giant Robo: The
Animation (aka Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood
Still)! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, Casey
(aka MinovskyArticle) has returned to talk about all things Robo
with me! For the first part of the podcast, we discuss in a
spoiler-free way what exactly the series is, it’s history, why
it’s special, and why you should check it out! After that, we go
all out in the spoiler-zone to gush about our favorite
characters, scenes, and answer all your listener questions!
(Spoiler talk starts at around the 1:34:17 mark.) So sit
back, relax, and celebrate one of our favorite anime series with
us in this GIANT-sized, nearly 3-hour long episode!
