Note from pmc: Sorry for the delay on this one! Had to recreate a few things, so some of this is a little more scuffed than I would like - but it's all here!

Ah, well, nevertheless, here's the second half of our discussion with the excellent SpaceQueenEmily on the Zone of the Enders 2167 IDOLO OVA! Mentally, flip back and forth between a church wedding and a climactic showdown in space as needed, that's our advice.

Get your ass to Mars! SpaceQueenEmily returns to GRFM to talk to pmc and Stephen about the first 21 minutes of the Idolo OVA and whatever is going on with Radium, a normal person. Is Radium like Isamu Dyson? Are the LEVs great grunt suits?

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! Buckle in for a cozy history episode dedicated to some production history specific to the Idolo OVA - it's just you and Stephen and pmc.
Note from pmc: I bungled some of the roles here, turns out the actor for Radium is so unknown, imdb editors buried his credit deep in the weeds. Whoops! That's what I get for doing dub trivia without watching the OVA first.

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! A new batch of main feed coverage here and, as always, we lead off with a history episode discussing the origins of the original Zone of the Enders video game, the project that launched the cross-media Z.O.E. project.

This episode was originally published for Simulator patrons on August 1st, 2023.
At long last, here is our look into the history behind Assault Suits Valken, the tremendously influential 2D mecha action game that spawned and continues to influence countless other games - almost a sub-genre unto itself. Chronicling the original release, Cybernator, the ill-fated PS2 version, and of course the recent Declassified on Switch, Stephen and pmc walk you through the people and history of Valken before talking about their own experiences playing the game in 2023.

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! In this space between main feed coverage on The Big O II and Robot Jox, we bring you the long-promised Science Lessons episode to cap off our Gunbuster coverage! Maddy and Space Queen Emily chat with pmc and Stephen about all eight science lesson episodes (yes, including the two that were left off the recent Discotek release for reasons we assume are beyond Discotek's control). We also discuss three shorts often included as extras on Gunbuster releases!

Hello Giant Robot FM patrons - a new type of Simulator episode is here!
