Woah! What's that? A NEW episode of GSR Gaiden! already? Yep that's right! Ash Beardguy aka Ashton Zala, is BACK with another panel for you! On March 1st Crunchyroll announced that Funimation's streaming library would be merged into its own and this understandably sent reverberations throughout the entirety of Anime Fandom. So on that very same day, Ash put together a panel to discuss this merger and the implications it would have for us, not just as Anime fans, but also as consumers of Anime. 

Ash was joined by some real TITANS from the Black Anime Fandom and Podcasting Scene , including: Ed of the Suuuper Anime Podcast, Parker Zensai of The Anime Freshmen, Jordan of Anime Savants, Amina Koroma – Actress and Voiceover Artist, Mary Alana – Director of Acquisitions, RetroCrush and a bunch of other brilliant Melanated Otaku. 

This is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing episodes that we have put out! You really don't want to miss it!

Welcome to the first episode of GSR Gaiden! Giant Shooty Robots' companion show that covers: Anime, Tokusatsu and all things Geek! 

On this episode, Ash Beardguy aka Ashton Zala, is joined by some heavyweights from the Black Anime Community to discuss the results of the 2022 Crunchyroll Anime Awards! JayLeeTrey, King Telliano, Simone, Cam, Ash and a bunch of other Black Otaku who were brave enough to speak in the Twitter Space, go over the results from each category with a fine-tooth comb, lament at the fact that hype seems to have determined the outcome of some of the major categories and beg the community to free themselves from the spiritual bondage of Battle Shōnen... 

This episode was genuinely a blast to put together, you do not want to miss it!

In what is the LAST episode of Build Casters (in its current guise), Ash Beardguy sits down with Ayinde Hall [@YIN_Designs aka @KokujinKreates] of Studio Mahō, to chop it up about Blade Titans, his Mecha Manga series. Ash and Ayinde discuss how Ayinde got into this Weeb Stuff and then do a deep dive and become ensconced in the world and narrative of Blade Titans. They then talk about what led to the formation of Studio Mahō and a bunch of other works that Ayinde has planned. Ayinde is one of the most interesting and insightful guests we've had on the show and this episode is undoubtedly one of our BEST. You'd be crazy to miss it!!!
