468. Macross 7 (Part 1; Eps. 1-12) — The Eyecatch

Swiss cheese brain, questionable histories, and Al’s escapades, oh my! Shaun Duke, Brandon O’Brien, and Iori Kusano join forces for the first ever episode of the newly named subshow, The Eyecatch! In this episode, our intrepid crew of anime misfits explores the first 12 episodes of Macross 7. Together, they discuss the show’s cast, its weird treatment of female bodies, why Basara may or may not be a jerk, what it’s like to be a giant in a band, and so much more!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
