Episode Synopsis
NOTE: There are minor audio issues from approx 45:00 - 1:45:00 with sound dropping out from Doc. These should be minor but FYI and apologies, they will be fixed for next time.
Special thanks to NavyCherub for requesting this one!
Join Shadon and The Subtle Doctor on a long form discussion and analysis of the 2006 Ryousuke Takahashi ONA Flag, a refreshingly different anime experience that utilizes first person perspectives throughout it's runtime to examine the nature of warfare and journalism. Expect discussions of giant robot minutiae and lore as a tool for dramatic tension, divergent story lines, the positive and negative elements of wartime journalism, why entertainment may not necessarily need to conventionally entertain and is Flag a competent piece of anti-war fiction? Also, is Shadon really dead inside or not?
Find out as we cover this truly unique tale of bloodshed and civil war caught through the looking glass of two journalist's cameras in Flag!
Request Line is where Viking Experience ($5) tier Patrons can request specific shows for us to cover and is available to all Patrons of KanaMoney ($3) tier or higher.
