Seeds of a New Tomorrow - Macross Delta Finale

Macross Plus has finally hit North American Home Video, but it seems that Dylan hasn't nabbed it just yet... This leads Coop to call in the burning wallet strike force—Celia, Maddy, and Giant Robot FM's Stephen Hero—to make a "tight 90" sale pitch. Are they successful or is the information high just too much for Dylan?Ultimate Edition's sheer bang for your buck, the difficulties of working with unofficial translations as an anime academic, time-based psychic damage, and this one guy who laughed at children crying for Optimus Prime come up over the course of the conversation.

After many rehearsals and copious weeks in anime, Coop and Dylan slide in before the holidays to say, "Yes, we DO remember Macross." They finally hit the finish line in this jumbo-sized finale featuring episodes 22 through 26 of Macross Delta. While catching up, Coop is suddenly activated to gush about 1000xRESIST and Dylan learns that "Vita" means "Life". Walküre's legacy, Delta's shortcomings with serious topics, toxic yaoi, and mental bowel movements also come up over the course of the conversation. Thank you for listening all these years!

Originally Recorded in May 2024 Coop and Dylan return to catch up on some (now out-of-date) Macross streaming news before digging into episodes 19 through 21 of Macross Delta. The Sonic Symphony stop in Ohio, Birdy the Mighty: Decode, Frontier plot points, and the many faces of Roid come up over the course of the conversation. 25:30 - Episode Discussion Begins For more of us, check out: Dylan - https://twitter.com/Tha_DiLA https://bsky.app/profile/thadila.bsky.social Coop - https://riderstrike.carrd.co/ https://bsky.app/profile/riderstrike.bsky.social Music Used: Hametsu no Junjou (Walküre - Macross Delta OST)

With Macross on its way to Disney+, Coop (@RiderStrike) and Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) finally return to the mic for a look at Macross Delta episodes 16 through 18. It's high time we made that last sprint for the finish line. The further joys of sports anime, Akira Toriyama's mechanical designs, that one guy's dickulture, and the benefits of a little time away come up over the course of the conversation. 22:00 - Episode Discussion Begins For more of us, check out: https://twitter.com/dudeyouremember https://cohost.org/DudeYouRemember Dylan - https://twitter.com/Tha_DiLA https://bsky.app/profile/thadila.bsky.social Coop - https://riderstrike.carrd.co/ Music Used: Hametsu no Junjou (Walküre - Macross Delta OST)

After a busy hiatus filled with plenty of anime and acting, Coop and Dylan hop back into the podcasting cockpit alongside Maddy (Hyakushiki0087) to chat about the subtle brilliance of 2011's The Princess and the Pilot. What've been up to, the similarities between Sports and Mecha anime, shout outs to Colombia, and the language of flowers come up during the conversation. 23:30 - Disclaimer and History of the Film 32:25 - Summary and Discussion Begins Disclaimer: While Coop has worked with Discotek Media, their release of The Princess and the Pilot predates his involvement with company.

As the gun smoke settles on 2022, Coop (@RiderStrike) and Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) ring in 2023 with a look at episodes 13 through 15 of Macross Delta.  However, the new year's stampede has our duo stopping off to talk all things Trigun (including Stampede) before moving into the episode discussion proper. Trigun chat starts at 7:00 (CW: Self-harm, Suicide) Episode discussion starts at 45:20 New old stock Robotech VHS tapes, hornfreaks, runzas, and how Delta gives us those fuzzy SDF feelings come up over the course of the conversation.  For more of us, check out: https://twitter.com/dudeyouremember https://cohost.org/DudeYouRemember Dylan - https://twitter.com/Tha_DiLA Coop - https://riderstrike.carrd.co/ Coop's thoughts on Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE courtesy of RightStuf & Nozomi Entertainment - https://riderstrike.medium.com/a-return-to-childlike-excitement-gundam-build-divers-re-rise-blu-ray-review-f9ad5478bcfa Music Used: When My Rune Sparkles (Walküre - Macross Delta OST) Blue Funk (Tsuneo Imahori - Trigun OST) Hametsu no Junjou (Walküre - Macross Delta OST)

Just before the year concludes, Coop (@RiderStrike) and Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) get together after finally meeting in the flesh (and navigating a busy schedule) to discuss episodes 10 through 12 of Macross Delta.  And man, these episodes are a bit of a gut punch.  Episode discussion starts at 29:00 We talk Dylan's time with Tactics Ogre (and Sonic lore), comic relief lesbians, the special sauce of a great Macross setting, and we pour one out for the red comet over the course of the conversation. It's been long year all, thank you for supporting us through it!

Before meeting each other in the flesh for the first time, Coop (@RiderStrike) and Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) escape their busy life shenanigans just long enough to continue Macross Delta with episodes 7 through 9.  We briefly chat about Macross 7's 28th Anniversary, Zettai Live's Blu-ray release, and some missed KENN-ections. Episode discussion starts at 20:40 The stacked fall 2022 anime season, the search for Milly in Trigun Stampede, world building sensibilities akin to Final Fantasy XII, and the realization that it's been a long time since a Macross has had humanoid conflict come up in the conversation.  For our cool friend Brennen French, check out: https://twitter.com/brennen_french For more of us, check out: https://twitter.com/dudeyouremember Dylan - https://twitter.com/Tha_DiLA Coop - https://riderstrike.carrd.co/ Coop's Article on Urusei Yatsura's Subtitle History - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-10-12/urusei-yatsura-remember-my-subs/.190537 Music Used: When My Rune Sparkles (Walküre - Macross Delta OST) Our Battlefield (Walküre - Macross Delta OST)

This time, Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) deals with the consequences of sipping a bad energy drink while he and Coop (@RiderStrike) continue with episodes 4 through 6 of Macross Delta. Fun times with Freedom Planet 2, the potential lasting power of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the implications of space colonialism, and the weighty expectations Mirage carries come up over the course of the conversation.

This time, Coop (@RiderStrike) & Dylan (@Tha_DiLA) start their journey through the most recent Macross series, Macross Delta, with its official English Subtitles. Through Delta's first three episodes, our duo soon learns that war... war has changed.  Oh, and Mirage knocks Hayate down a peg, or two.  Light History and Initial Impressions - 15:20 Episode Discussion - 31:00 The glorious yogurt sauce master Andrew Waltfeld, Kamen Rider Double's return in Fuuto PI, multiple Eric Andre bits, and the legend of the Ikenai Burgerline come up in the conversation.
