In this episode:

It’s a rambly anime-focused chat this week as Michael joins us in the fifth chair while Dan is late to the show. We talk about anime in space, space anime, and the space between anime. Evan and Michael talk about Figma, stigma and Kill la Kill…ma. We also talk about Ma…cross and other sci-fi anime.

Also: I’ll be teaching Village at Crops & Coins, at Games Laboratory in Melbourne on August 30th.
