We're back at it again with the revival of Lelouch in an extremely made years after the fact, by the books anime sequel movie that we ended up enjoying more than we anticipated, with some caveats. Also the Red Rotation is truly dead, we're just watching Kamen Rider now.

Kicking off our first episode of this season of All-American Ultraman with a big, beefy podcast. And that makes sense right, because this Ultraman's formal Hollywood debut, so surely these episodes give us a lot to talk about.

Ep 151 - The Aerith of Plane Movies (Gridman 13-15)
Covering: Gridman the Hyper Agent episodes 13 to 15
We reach a weird stretch of Gridman with respect to the main trio and their relationships, but Takeshi continues to delight us with his always being on one, even when fully "honk shoo" moded.

Covering: Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops (1991 film)
We watch the second of the Kerberos trilogy of films, with a movie that is at once quite different and in the spirit of the last movie, but also with perhaps less to specifically dig into.

Ep 150 - Infinite Money Glitch (Gridman 10-12)

We unfortunately run out of good subs, but the show continues to be a great time as Daichi is still the MVP and we get some combining robots.

Q Tea Time 5 ~ Code Geass eps 18-25 (2006-07)
Covering: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion episodes 18 to 25
We no longer care about Gavan Infinity. Anyway, Code Geass season 1 ends with a final batch that goes absolutely crazy (to the surprise of nobody I'm sure).

By some twist of fate, we recorded this episode on Mother's Day. How appropriate. Also, of the two shows that we're wrapping up today, somehow Ultraman Kids is the one with the more baffling ending.

As we reach the final stretch, Ultraman Kids remains rather pleasant. Meanwhile, Evangelion gets a bit fraught with it.
