Karen returns to join Kate, Ed, and Dennis as we go over the 2nd disc of The Vision of Escaflowne. Funimation has finally released their version of the dub along with the original dub and Japanese track, but we'll go over the differences in a future episode. We talk about what gets included in the Collector's Edition just before going into the discussion of episodes 5-8.
We discuss Van's flying skills, Folken's reveal, some Ocean Group dub differences, fossil fuel economy of Gaia, one of the best, non-damsel in distress rescues in anime, Millerna's introduction, insert song CD promotion from Maaya Sakamoto, pager reception, and proper wing cleaning. We also go over one of the silliest bonus features ever: Club Escaflowne, the first of many.
Thanks again to special guest Karen (Rya Cosplay) for joining us again

On this episode, we're going off the rails! Kate asks Diana and Sam how their experiences with Macross World and Akibafest went, considering it was on the same weekend! Kate has some microphone issues, so apologies for all the microphone noise. We go into how Diana and Sam became fans of Macross. And then the quick turnaround from Macrossworld to AkibaFest.

See you next week as we continue our Escaflowne rewatch.
On this episode, Kate and Dennis are joined by returning guest Caitlin and new guest Karen as we go over the classic series The Vision of Escaflowne in honor of the 20th anniversary of the series finale and just before the re-release of the series on bluray by Funimation. We find out Karen's anime origins, go over old convention war stories, talk about some of our favorite Ocean Group dub actors, disappointing sequel series to good anime, and that's all before we even talk about this week's anime topic.
We do have some hard hitting questions though. What's up with Van's useless armor? Merle doesn't wear pants? Why does Dennis even remember Monster Rancher? Is Amano secretly a terrible person and athlete? Why does Hitomi think it's a good idea to run "through" Van...again? How does Fanelian steel work? What is the purpose of Allen's puffy shoulders? Did Zaibach invent the equivalent of Skype? Ancient Fanelian technology = ancient Aztec technology? Is Dilandau a giant prude?
Hope you enjoyed our talk about Disc 1 of The Vision of Escaflowne. Remember, don't watch the music videos on this disc. However, the next batch of episodes will have something better... Club Escaflowne.
Thanks to special guests Caitlin (We're Not Twins Cosplay) and Karen (Rya Cosplay).

On this episode, it's just a two person job, as Dennis asks Eve how she enjoyed Yaoi Con 2016. Panels, artists, doujinshi, and a survey? There's also talk about moving to a new place, Dennis finally finishes Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, sports anime, ONE-sensei anime, Joker Game, gazebo, and even more Gundam talk!
