Alright, so it apparently doesn't take much to get me going on a podcast. I read about the Japanese government planning on spending over $2 billion on sending robots to the moon to build a base for... wait for it... OTHER ROBOTS!

When I was too young to remember anything but the theme song, or even know where the cartoon came from, Prince Planet was my first exposure to anime. I cannot say that I continued to love the style for its own sake, but what I did love was Battle of the Planets which was the Americanized version of Gatchaman... just some retro kitsch for your weekend.
