Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 11
December 31, 2022 07:13 - 28.6 MBThe second-to-last episode of the cours! Shaddiq holds his breath, Suletta catches her breath, Vim curses under his breath, and Delling doesn't waste his breath. Step aside, Type-Moon, there are TWO witches on this holy night. And is that an Aerial upgrade I spy? Damn, gang- this episode's good, so was the last, and I think the next will be great as well. I'm just hoping the break between cours doesn't kill this momentum.

December 21, 2022 22:24 - 42.6 MBWe're all hustling and bustling as the year winds down, but you KNOW we're never too busy for you! Sit down with us as we talk games- Jen says the Callisto Protocol is as much Punch-Out!! as it is Dead Space, Six has come around on Spelunky 2 after initial crushing disappointment, and Kyrie has sold out... her potion stock in Potionomics. In chronological order, our music is 8bit23 by Koichi Morita, The Callisto Protocol Main Theme by Finishing Move Inc. (Brian Trifon and Brian Lee White), ...
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 10
December 17, 2022 06:11 - 28.1 MBOh boy, we sure are winding up for a mid-season, end-of-cours finale. Can you feel it? Schemes, misunderstandings, unfortunate coincidences… and into all of it, we're gonna toss a few new witches and their gundams and see what happens. I uh… I have a guess. I think it's gonna end badly for our pals.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 9
December 10, 2022 10:20 - 28.4 MBOn this episode, a turning point, as Allen listens with polite bemusement as Six lays out a theory as to what exactly is going on in this show. We get our first team duel, we see the triumph of the GUND format over the technology that almost killed it, and Miorine has already forgotten she's trying to start a medical company. Three episodes left, gang. It's about to start poppin', for real. And Six's theory will be put to the test right quick.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 8
December 04, 2022 08:26 - 47.2 MBG-Witch. Listen. Listen listen listen. You gotta stop writing checks. Do you HAVE a bank account? These are going to bounce! No one can cash these! Settle down, build a foundation, follow through. THEN write checks. But stop touching a dozen interesting issues with no commitment to truly engaging with them, and a clumsy handling of what little you try! Please. I'm begging you.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 7
November 25, 2022 20:10 - 29 MBIt's time for a talkie episode. I like talkie episodes, Allen is less a fan, but either way, the thing about talkie eps is, you have to talk a lot. And G-Witch? Not great at the talking. So, here we are, an episode that's a blessing and a curse, but might free the show from the Curse of Gundam, in more ways than one. Even if it's sloppy, if this fixes the trap they built for themselves in the plot, I'm all for it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) Spoilercast
November 18, 2022 22:38 - 23.4 MBThey put out another Call of Duty. Its politics suck. Some things never change. But they might be worse in this one than you think... and yet, the campaign is also probably more interesting than you think? They made another Modern Warfare, and they couldn't decide if they wanted it to be a tribute to MW2 or a pointed note about everything wrong with that game. It's a mess, and it's (sigh) really fun. You can find Six on Twitter at @sixdettmar. You cannot find Harri. He's unknowable. The int...

November 15, 2022 22:11 - 46.2 MBRefresh Rate returns with another episode of Jen, Kyrie and Six recounting standout media and experiences from the past month. After bouncing off Sonic Frontiers hard, Six has fallen into Freedom Planet and its sequel, finding there what they couldn't in the series that inspired it. Jen is braving the season of death in Harvestella, and finding there's less harvesting than you'd expect given the name? And Kyrie is here to report back from a year where she finally felt safe returning to conve...
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 6
November 11, 2022 20:05 - 26.4 MBA twist in the Elan Saga! Allen and Six are hanging with Lilique the Homie this week as we unravel the mystery of Why Are You Like This Starring Elan Ceres. It turns out... we now know why he's like this. To be fair, it was pretty clear from the start, it was just hard confirmation. Wonder what the next draft will be like....
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 5
November 05, 2022 06:33 - 27.3 MBBoth sides are claiming victory this episode, as Allen declares that clearly, the events of this ep prove that Elan is a villain, while Six declares that obviously, the events of this episode prove that Elan is a good guy. At the very least we're in agreement that this was a really good episode. Also that lasers- not beams, actual lasers- are sick as heck. You can find Allen on @chatzpod and Six at @sixdettmar on Twitter.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 4
November 01, 2022 19:50 - 25.4 MBAnother week, another false cliffhanger instantly resolved. We're fully in School Drama mode this ep, as we deal with tests, retakes, bullying, and... sci fi bigotry? Oh boy. At least there's a goat! Goats rule. You can find Allen on @chatzpod and Six at @sixdettmar on Twitter.
Anime USA 2022 – Interview with Emi Lo
October 27, 2022 00:40 - 11.3 MBKyrie traveled to Crystal City to attend Anime USA, and had a chance to conduct some interviews. She sat down with Emi Lo, an up-and-coming voice actor who's voiced roles in Higarashi, Genshin Impact, and the recently released Cyberpunk Edgerunners! Be sure to follow Emi on Twitter (@KitsuneSqueak) and check out their recent roles in The Yakuza's Guide To Babysitting and Shoot! Goal to the Future!
Anime USA 2022 – Interview with Tiffany Grant
October 26, 2022 17:40 - 13.9 MBKyrie traveled to Crystal City to attend Anime USA, and had a chance to conduct some interviews. She sat down with Tiffany Grant, a voice actor and script writer with nearly 30 years of experience in the industry! Known best for her role as Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion, she wrote scripts for shows like Den-noh Coil and Parasyte! Keep an eye out on Tiffany's website (http://www.tiffanygrant.com/) for the lastest on con appearances and much more.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 3
October 22, 2022 19:00 - 31.6 MBAnd with this third episode, it finally feels like we have a sense of what the rhythm and structure of this first cour will be like. We see another great fight, a pretty sick mobile suit design, and more parents strangling their children with their own petty ambitions. Just because Tomino isn't working on this one doesn't mean this show doesn't think adults suck.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Prologue Ep. 2

Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Ep. 2
October 16, 2022 00:53 - 28 MBI know this is just weeb hours right now, but Suisei no Majou has really good mouthfeel. So does The Witch from Mercury, but it's a very different feeling! Starting smooth and ending harsh, versus starting harsh and ending with intrigue, maybe? That second one is perhaps a decent description of this episode, which both Allen and Six feel is a downbeat after the very strong first episode, but at least there's plenty to talk about.
Refresh Rate 10/11/22
October 11, 2022 19:00 - 52.5 MBWe're back with another month in media! Kyrie's keeping it current, and, dare I say, fresh, with Splatoon 3! Six still likes Terraria, but is perhaps better able to elaborate on why! And Jen? Jen is very mad about Yakuza 4. There are briefcases of money, and guns, and bulletproof vests, and guns, and skyscrapers, and guns involved. And mahjong? That part caught my ear.
Oops More Anime – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Prologue & Ep. 1
October 08, 2022 08:08 - 36.4 MBAfter three years, Allen and Six are back for more in depth Gundam crit! The launch of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury has people coming out of the woodwork to talk about how it's their new favorite ship, their new obsession, the best Gundam ever, the gayest thing in since sliced bread, the second coming of Utena. We think they all need to calm down. But it IS worth talking about. So let's do that, episode by episode as they come out.

September 10, 2022 01:08 - 41.3 MBIt's Gaming Season again! That's why there's a heat wave, you see. At least in California. Where today is Friday! Funny how that works out. We're back with media we've been enjoying lately, and for all of us it's been time to enjoy some video games! Six is here with Final Fantas- wait don't leave! They're here to talk about the new farming minigame, and Square's general approach to side activities in the MMO. Both Jen and Six have been playing Saint's Row, and they're here to tell you that t...
Otakon 2022 – Interview with Tiana Camacho

Having countless roles over their combined decades of experience, it was an honor to sit down with two legends of the Japanese voice acting world. Be sure to follow Toshio Furukawa on Twitter!
Live A Live Spoilercast
August 12, 2022 17:40 - 54.4 MBAfter twenty-eight years, one of the most influential JRPGs of all time finally has an official English release. With seven heroes on seven journeys, it was (and is) incredibly narratively and mechanically ambitious, while also surprisingly restrained in scope. We never played it ourselves, but with the remake out, Jen and Six have finally filled this gap in their knowledge. And folks? Its reputation is well deserved. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar. T...

August 03, 2022 06:31 - 33.5 MBWith Kyrie still away, we turn to friend and capital G Gamer Lotte to fill in our third chair! that's unkind. don't call Lotte a Gamer. that's mean. Jen has brought Who's Lila?, an unsettling point and click about trying to convey emotions. Lotte has been watching Birdie Wing, and "boy is it Girls." And Six has brought a Three Kingdoms double (triple?) feature, and none of the works involved are particularly stellar. If there is a strange silence in your track around the discussion of River...

July 02, 2022 05:58 - 49.4 MBWelcome to the renamed Playlist Podcast! That name? Not very good. This one? Better. And what better way to inaugurate the new name than by expanding our scope as well? We have our games coverage- Six is talking Neon White, as is a lot of the internet lately, while Jen has brought Card Shark, a game by the developers of Reigns that has our cast a bit divided. But we're not just doing games anymore, as Kyrie has brought the Indian action film RRR to the table as well. Our intro music is 8bit...

Playlist Podcast – 5/27/22
May 27, 2022 23:41 - 43.2 MBIt's another month, and we're back to talk about more of what we've been playing lately! Jen is indulging in her FMV love with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story, a Japanese mystery game from the writer of 428: Shibuya Scramble. It's less wacky comedy than Shibuya, however, focused more on Japanese history and classic mysteries. Kyrie is happy to revisit Chrono Cross, one of the games from her youth that left a big impression. It isn't the world's greatest port, but it's still a reminder o...
Ochitsubaki Spoilercast
May 25, 2022 00:18 - 25.2 MBCONTENT WARNING: Non-graphic but emotionally charged discussion of fictional violence, abuse between partners, sexual abuse, and familial abuse, as well as trauma that stems from the above. At a patron's request, we checked out a visual novel neither of us had ever heard of, called Ochitsubaki. It's a quick playthrough, clocking in at 60 to 90 minutes based on your reading speed. We couldn't have anticipated the strength of its writing, and how hard it would hit us. If you want to find us ...

April 10, 2022 06:59 - 97.6 MBMarch is behind us, and thus, the really busy season of game releases also relents. It's that end of fiscal quarter that's so killer, isn't it? Six is here to talk about the often-misunderstood Sifu, Kyrie is ready to talk about the new Kirby, and Jen has found things to love in Ghostwire: Tokyo where other critics haven't. Our intro music is 8bit 23 from Demon Souls, a Japanese royalty free music site.
Gran Turismo 7 Roundtable
March 20, 2022 22:34 - 59.8 MBDo you like... my car? Forza Horizon 5 left Jen and Six feeling surprisingly lukewarm, and most of the time that would be the story of racing games for the time being. After all, Need For Speed has been a mess for years, and while Jen likes more serious racing games like DiRT, they're beyond Six's ken. But what is this? The elusive Polyphony Digital have put out their first fully featured Gran Turismo in almost a decade? Well we GOTTA talk about that. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen ...

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Backlog Star Podcast
February 11, 2022 08:26 - 60 MBYou could also call this Best Old Game, if you hated being pithy and also wanted to insult these games. But in any year, MOST of the games we play aren't from that year. They're from years previous, sometimes many years previous. Of these, which ones defined our 2021?

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Yaku of the Year Podcast
February 11, 2022 08:14 - 52 MBThe difference between Chinese and Japanese, aka "Riichi" mahjong, is the concept of the Yaku. Basically, it's a bunch of special forms your hand can take that allow you to call a win, and give you extra points. As a bunch of newbies to the scene, we have strong feelings about which ones are best. So Nick is gonna join us to figure it out.

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Best DLC/Add-on Podcast
February 10, 2022 08:25 - 51.6 MBThere are a lot of bad things about the way technology has allowed games to be changed. Gacha mechanics. Live service hellscapes. Free to play torture. Patching out things that are fun because they're not what the devs "intended." But also? There's DLC, or other add-ons. And sometimes those add-ons really freakin good. Let's celebrate the ones that are. The Nominees Are: Patch 1.28 (DragonBall FighterZ) Washizu Mahjong/Darkness Mahjong (Mahjong Soul) Title Updates (Monster Hunter Rise) FEAT...
Gimmick Awards 2021 – Best New Character Podcast
February 10, 2022 08:22 - 69.9 MBWe're pretty heavily invested in good writing in games around here. This also leads to a love of a well-written and rendered character.

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Biggest Disappointment Podcast
February 09, 2022 06:41 - 113 MBAs much as we love surprises, it can swing very hard the other way. Sometimes you are all primed to love a game and it just whiffs, hard. It is therapeutic to vent your frustration, anger, and sadness, but at the end of the day, it just sucks to feel like this. These are the Biggest Disappointments of 2021.

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Stream Friend Podcast
February 08, 2022 06:26 - 59.4 MBWhen you start streaming, you quickly learn that there is a difference between a game that's good and a game that's good to stream. Certainly, lots of good games also stream well. But when you try streaming one of your favs and realize it's no fun to watch, that's an eye-opening moment. The games on this list are not going to be nominated for any other category, but when we streamed them in 2021, we had a hell of a good time.

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Anime/Manga of the Year Podcast
February 08, 2022 05:59 - 56.2 MBWelcome to Scanline Media's 2021 Gimmick Awards! We're starting off with a favorite of ours. We're paid anime critics (every time I say it it's surreal, but it's true!), and as you might expect that leads us to having strong opinions on anime. But of all the anime and manga we covered in 2021, what was the best? The Nominees Are: Akagi: The Genius That Descended Into Darkness Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time Moriarty The Patriot Yu-Gi-Oh! Serial Experiments Lain Dirty Pair March Comes ...
Code Fairy Volume 3 Roundtable
December 23, 2021 03:17 - 44.9 MBNow we bring things to a close. The curtains fall on the first single player Gundam game in years, with a conclusion that leaves us feeling a little mixed. Without a doubt, Code Fairy as a whole has been a great experience, and a game we'd both recommend. But it doesn't TOTALLY stick the landing, in ways that are a bit confusing. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar.
Code Fairy Volume 2 Roundtable
December 01, 2021 09:24 - 71.2 MBAs it turns out, Volume 2 was so much of a banger that we wanted to make this a three parter after all. Alma's absence is our gain as this second part starts with a bang, giving us new mission types, new perspectives, and new mobile suits, only to reunite us with the lucky redheaded newtype for a thrilling conclusion. We'll be back for Volume 3, which I'm sure will end perfectly happily and nothing bad will happen. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar.
