We're joined by special guests Tom Bateman, Leonardo Flores and, later on, Tim Eldred as Adrian recounts the experience of coordinating the first US convention appearance of legendary character designer/animator/illustrator Tomonori Kogawa at Anime Los Angeles 2020!
But first, there actually IS some Macross news to go over, since it looks as though Walkure is back and won't give up!
