Detour Quarry 4 - Farewell, Mieeoelwm (Mirrorman 39-51 | END)
•
Covering: Mirrorman episodes 39 to 51
After accidentally taking five months to get to it, we finally close the book on Mirrorman, and leave this strange and rocky show with a stronger impression than we would have expected after a banger final stretch with some really dubious subtitles. Also, we're probably the only podcast (as of now) to have covered this show.

Detour Quarry EX 4 - Trumpeter of the Orgover Times (Super Dimension Century Orguss 02)
01:48:50|Covering: Super Dimension Century Orguss 02 full seriesCW: light discussion of the show's usage of intellectual disabilities/abelismMel and Shane ("Do You Remember Robotech?") return for one last job and finish off their Orguss coverage for good with the strange, and somehow better put together, six episode OVA sequel (spin-off?) to Orguss. We have a good time taking about this interesting show and what makes it work, as well as some wrinkles it still can't escape as a product of the 90s. It is nice to finish this journey on a high note.Big thanks to Shane for the collaboration!Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro05:25 - Orguss 02 discussion1:05:25 - Emails1:29:35 - Outro (ft Super Sentai for some reason)

Skipping the Queue 28 - Definitely Real Moral Quandaries (Ultraman Arc 12-16)
01:19:54|Covering: Ultraman Arc episodes 12 to 16We've topped off one cliffhanger and maybe stumbled into another? And with it comes an old friend. Also, some plot stuff that seems like it both got wrapped up a lot faster than we thought and raised some moral questions that nobody would actually think of asking in real life.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro05:20 - Ultraman Arc discussion53:32 - Episode trivia57:10 - Colour timers57:45 - Shu Ishido's Diary1:09:20 - Emails1:16:40 - OutroSources:That one tweet about Shu Ishido

02:10:14||Ep. 82Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 23 to 25This week we head to the Land of Light at last, as Ultraman Taro introduces important (maybe) lore, and challenges some of our previous assumptions.

81. Ep 81 - Monster Hunter Taro (Ultraman Taro 20-22)
02:55:22||Ep. 81Covering: Ultraman Taro episodes 20 to 22It was bound to happen at some point. After a longer gap than intended, this kaiju sized episode features a truly massive preamble section, with our longest intro segment yet. We manage to cover the Ultraman stuff in good time though, despite a sudden last minute time pressure. Which probably is helped by the fact all three of these episodes are basically the same.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro05:34 - Mistborn - The Final Empire20:20 - Magic's Promise27:30 - Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season28:10 - Kingdom of Heaven34:10 - Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's43:45 - Street Fighter II the (Animated) Movie47:55 - Castlevania Aria of Sorrow55:50 - Ergo Proxy1:12:27 - Monster Hunter Wilds (Open beta)1:24:49 - Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (Rumbling Hearts)1:36:15 - Muv Luv ExtraUltraman Section1:46:45 - Ultraman Taro episode 202:07:15 - Ultraman Taro episode 212:23:50 - Ultraman Taro episode 222:39:30 - Colour timers2:40:21 - Emails2:51:10 - Outro

01:14:01|Covering: Ultraman Arc episodes 8 to 11Back with more Arc and seemingly our first cliffhanger (that we remember)? Anyway, the episodes are fun and have a lot of returning guys that we like. Also just a heads up that some audio weirdness means the audio quality is a bit low this episode, so apologies.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps: 00:00 - Intro07:30 - Ultraman Arc discussion51:30 - Episode trivia55:50 - Colour timers56:34 - Shu Ishido's Diary1:06:28 - Emails1:11:28 - Outro
