Episode 310 - Robotech the Sentinels Rubicon #2

Episode 310: Robotech the Sentinels Rubicon #2

Yeah, I know that most people prefer Generic Space Bikini Girl With Face Junk #1, but I'm more of a Generic Space Bikini Girl With Face Junk #2 man myself.

As Robotech: The Sentinels Rubicon continues to be determined to avoid its main plot at all costs, it has to find all sorts of ways to fill up space instead. So while there’s some cosmic event out there doing cosmic stuff we get to instead hear about ship launches, diplomatic luncheons, why translating from one language to another is hard, Carnegie Hall, alien date-rape drugs (thanks comic, thanks so much) and why JC is the greatest human being to have ever lived and why we should all be thankful for something he did offscreen at some point maybe. And to help pad it out not only do we have a swarm of identical people with long hair and headbands, a cheap Final Fantasy VII joke and almost a Sentinels character, but we also suddenly shift to rough pencils in the process! That’s right, it’s a comic that’s inept at every level and you’ll struggle to decide which one’s the worst!

Episode 309 - Gundam Build Fighters: Life's Gunpla Battle Championship MkII, chapters 1-2

Episode 309: Gundam Build Fighters: Life's Gunpla Battle Championship MkII, chapters 1-2

Raymond collapsed and passed out several minutes ago. I didn't help him, because this near-total stranger's model kit is more important than his health. I know he'll understand.

When you’re writing fanfic about a show that’s about the fandom of a show, you’re already pretty metafictional. But when you replace your fanfic about a show that’s about the fandom of a show with another fanfic about a show that’s about the fandom of a show, then it begins to get really crazy. Case in point is this lovely little piece which is a replacement for My Way to the Championship which improves upon it in ways that we can’t even begin to describe. (No, really, this fic cannot be described in any rational terms) So join the cast of Gundam 00 save for that useless scrub Setsuna Kale and his buddies plus the Obligatory Pale Quiet Girl as they mercilessly pummel any feelings of joy and happiness out of the universe and fail to understand how school uniforms work!

Episode 308 - AYNGEL Project, chapters 5-7

Episode 308: AYNGEL Project, chapters 5-7

It's like if the Three Stooges were all violent steroid junkies.

If you’ve made it this far, then you’re probably wondering what the titular AYNGEL Project actually is. You’re pretty sure it’s got nothing to do with insulting Hideoto, getting drunk, claiming to be gansta by driving a soccer mom SUV, naked wrestling, that one scene from When Harry Met Sally, badly-written sex or how much weed Tom smokes each day. Sure, there’s some digressions to talk about Hideoto’s wee-wee (again) and to reveal that Steve is even more of a creep then you thought (Shocking, I know) but once that’s out of the way, we actually engage the simulacrum of a plot and forge ahead to reveal the shocking truth of what’s going on and how it will reshape their tiny little fictive world. So read an in-flight magazine, bounce off a rubber footpath and send a Salami to your boy in the army for the next chunk of fiction that is AYNGEL Project. It’s a thing, unless it’s not!
