First of all, thanks to everyone who has already subscribed to the podcast and helped spread the word. It means a lot that so many people are excited to hear the show. Due to the quicker-than-expected ramp up, we're starting a few weeks early.

In the first proper episode of Retrograde Amnesia, we frame the anime introduction in the context of the time it was made and Xenogears' overarching narrative. We go on to debate the necessity and the rationale for an additional three layer-prologue before some discussion on Lahan Village and its freakish populace. We also talk the importance of portrait-characters, the deliciousness of technobabble, small-town sleeparounds, and that son of a bitch Dan. Episode One covers the prologue through Fei's exit from Lahan village.
