Waiting with SNN reporter Tsutomu “Hibiki Kanzaki” Takayama

Passionate Walkure – the Macross Delta movie – has been announced to a packed crowd of 5000 Macross fans, and the SpeakerPODcast Crew was there to capture all the details.

Our most important take away? Shoji Kawamori needs to perform on stage with Walkure more often!

Egan also reports back from the official announcement even for Shoji Kawamori’s latest television anime project – Juushinki Pandora (previously known as The Next).

With the Superdimensional Orchestra behind us, and a Delta movie announcement only days away, the SpeakerPODcast Crew grabs a moment to catch up on all the recent events and goings on.

We met anison legend MiQ, discuss the latest Megazone 23 crowdfunding campaign, drop by JUNNA’s first solo gig, and discuss Mylene’s new voice actress in Uta Macross before hitting up 1989’s GUNHED at an exclusive theatrical screening. How does it hold up? Is it as bad as many remember it as being? And just how awesome is Shoji Kawamori’s GUNHED design!?!

The SpeakerPODcast Crew has just come out of a performance that was 35 years in the making. A concert so powerful that it had people in tears. That’s right, it’s been less than 24hrs since the incredible Superdimensional Orchestra, and we’re here to talk about it while the melodies are still ringing in our ears.

But did you know that the concert saw the premiere of some actual new Macross animated footage as well?

And why is there so much whiskey in this podcast?

Join us, along with special guests Tom Bateman (hey, we haven’t had him on the cast since 2013!) and newcomer Greg as we recount this weekend’s experiences.
