Otaku Evolution Episode 263 - Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Part 1)

Welcome back to Otaku Evolution! It's 2025 and boy have I got things planned for you, the viewer! Assuming I'm not just screaming out into the void, that is.

Speaking of screaming, there sure is a lot of that in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Maybe not as much as in G Gundam, but there's plenty. Everybody seems to be a little on edge, which is one of the reasons I like it (but also a reason some people dislike it). Characters might just fly off the handle completely at any time. It's neat!

Otaku Evolution Episode 262 - Year End English Dub Review XI

One last video for 2024! It's been one heckuva ride, folks (especially the particularly bumpy patch towards the end). As usual, I'm here to look at all the English dubs of the anime I've covered in the second part of the year. The strongest by far was Black Lagoon's. I love that dub. In fact, I think it's the final Grand Pantheon dub I hadn't reviewed yet. What will I do from now on? Well, (un)fortunately, OE isn't just about really good things.

2024 Topps Formula 1 - Paddock Pass Photo Variation Guide

The 2024 release of Topps Formula 1 Paddock Pass features an extensive list of photo variations*, one per driver, and available in the base "paper" material as well as chrome.

As I look back at the Formula 1 IV cards released over the prior years I can never find a comprehensive reference guide. When Mastodon Cards put together a quick Instagram story of the variations he collected and sorted from the 2024 Paddock Pass release I knew I had to save that for larger posterity. All credit for Mastodon for capturing these images. Regular card is on the left, IV on the right. It's not really clear which is the IV, and which is "base," on account of the general availability of both.

*I've always called the image variations (IV), and from what I can tell Topps has called them image variations in the past. Why they're now called photo variations is now one of the great Topps mysteries.
