BONUS: Lions Led By Robots Episode 2: A Message From the French Government

I don't know how far it's going to go, but I would actually recommend checking out the live action One Piece if you EVER get any interest in it. The way that the whole thing is laid out makes a series that normally feels impregnable instead feel very enjoyable and manageable on the level of an original/new series. I will admit to being an old fan of the series, but I think that the live action version has very good pacing and the way that the world is laid out makes it a lot more comfortable than in the manga or anime because they were able to incorporate relatively new information about characters and the world into earlier points in the story where the information would be naturally relevant. Also, I must mention that Taz Skylar as Sanji is an amazing glow-up, as they took a pervy character and made him genuinely charming. Plus, the guy is great at selling the emotional moments and the fights, and looks absolutely FINE doing it. Otherwise, definitely read the manga, because even if you skip the filler arcs, the proper insufferable filler in One Piece is in the lengthy recaps that exist to pad out the runtime of a show that unfortunately has to come out weekly.

Why does Joe associated unicycles with France so much? They were invented in England, for one thing!

Wait, has Joe read the Berserk manga? If yes, Joe: would you say the eclipse was more or less painful than dealing with the VA

Do you think Neo-Russia and Neo-Japan have resolved the Kuril Islands dispute?

Disappointed that there's no Albania Gundam, with a bunker for a head. Then again, the chain smoking Gundam's cigarette budget alone would bankrupt Neo Albania. To say nothing of the pilot's cigarette budget...

G Gundam is better dubbed.

If the hat of the German Gundam looks like it was ornated with a shaving brush - call it out to be Bavarian! The true German one should resemble a paper hat…

Mitsubishi and Kawasaki still build Japan’s submarines lol

I genuinely can't wait for you to get through the rest of this series; if Joe thinks it's off the rails *now*...

FLYING THE SKY TAKAKU HABATAKE OOZORA WA DOKO DA DEMO

Keep going and I'll name gunpla after y'all!

Just about pissed myself at the "French government statement"!

Tom’s Irish Gundam could have a Gáe Bulg. It’s a magic spear that Cú Chulainn fired up someone’s arse.

This is a good spot for first time gundam fans, because those series has NOTHING to do with others (Shut up about Build Tri) so keep in mind that the other shows are nothing like this one

The Monk Who Drugs Him sounds like a Baliwood James Bond film

Absolutely loving this series, as someone who watched gundam wing when it first came to the uk when I was a pre teen, it’s been interesting seeing where the gundam universe went

No, the Turkish Gundam battles by driving opponents into a frenzy by waving their ice cream cone back and forth in front of them.

My husband is watching "One Pace", a One Piece re-edit which cuts all the filler and improves the pacing across the board. Still too much for me to sit down and watch but apparently it cuts the time commitment pretty much in half.

So Tom would totally be into Colonel Une from Wing

Gundam Gulag should be the name of this bonus series btw

I am absolutely in favor of blowing through big robot shows of all kinds. Bought a ticket for the second show… now I just need to book a flight and a hotel

I can’t wait for the Neo Lions Led By Donkeys. I don’t know shit about Gundams. This is the most I have ever been exposed to Gundams. But the whole time all I can think about is different state Gundams. Like a Californian, Texan or New York Gundams and it based solely on all the stereotypes of guys I’ve met while in the military…

LETS GO! ITS ROBOT TIME AGAIN

I think it was a mistake listening to Beslan and this one after the other with no breaks... The whiplash!
