About this episode

The episode discusses the works Hi-Streamer and Beltorchika's Children with experts Mark Simmons and BJ.

Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! The next chapter of the Tomino book club begins with two works that are often discussed but maybe misunderstood: Hi-Streamer and Beltorchika's Children . Thankfully, we once again have the aid of experts Mark Simmons and BJ to walk us through what these are and why they were made (and what the most important mobile suits to come out them are).
