Xenosaga E27: Poisoned by the Holy Spirit So Hard [Song of Nephilim, Part I]
2024/02/26
Are you worthy to shed such tears? Cry with us as we’re cackling incessantly, letting Momo out of our sight, wasting vital shuttle transports, arguing about where Momo is, seeing a false daddy, friending a dead sister, blaming Helmer, rebuilding Sakura as a robot, performing a memory hand transfer, experiencing robot depression, defining an uncomfortable anime moment, wondering who has a soul, speculating if dead robots are corpses, cutting off seemingly vital body parts, maintaining a peach pun, demanding candles for villain pondering, keeping the phase transfer mass low, and finding the true lunatic pandora. I wanted to make a more direct impact on people, rather than just analyzing data. 00:00 Season Six | 04:37 Intro | 07:30 Albedo vs Gnosis | 09:51 Momo Gets Kidnapped | 16:37 Momo Solo | 20:35 Federation Fleet Battles | 22:57 Momo Memory Hole | 27:25 Shion Hears A Song | | 31:30 Censored Albedo Scene | 45:23 Rhine Maiden | 51:06 Weapon Briefcase | 54:33 The Miracle | 58:54 Real Net | 01:04:03 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E26: Die in the Trash [Attack on Kukai, Part II]
2024/02/19
My goodness, this feels like a dream. This episode feels like we’re welcoming Hyper Assistant Scott, remembering Angels and Elements, flexing while wasted, playing with toys too hard, vibrating the water, shaking off premonitions, preventing gnosis incursion, blooming Luty’s flower, sliding down a roof, turning city sectors into people puzzles, presuming cats have innocent souls, getting in the robot, losing to a boss over and over, and settling a dispute between The Professor and Assistant Scott. I thought I was going to die in the trash. 00:00 Godzilla | 01:35 Intro | 03:10 Kukai Foundation | 04:51 Robot Academy Episode III | 07:36 Allen You Piece Of Shit | 09:19 Albedo’s Playlist |18:07 Durandal NPCs | 22:29 Kukai Foundation NPCs | 25:23 City Sector 26 Rescue | 32:28 Sector 27 Rescue | 37:55 Gigas | 47:18 Robot Academy Episode IV |51:25 Real Net | 57:16 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E25: The Christ for Robots [Attack on Kukai, Part I]
2024/02/12
Well, it looks like we all managed to make it back. Now we’re relentlessly drawing a connection to Xenoblade 2, laughing through illusory worlds, existing in the subconscious, fighting energy with energy, vaporizing a gas giant, issuing the many worlds theory, pasting in a picture of space, disarming subconscious domain protection, denying a hug, earning a three-way, crying in a graveyard, giving Allen exclusive access to the future, passing out after the sex, showing feet, monologuing in bed, and reaching new depths of pity for Allen. This is Realians, let’s go. 00:00 Comics Zone | 02:54 Intro | 05:03 Green Tree Zone | 17:53 Space Theories | 22:20 Crucifixion | 26:44 KOSMOS Wakes Up | 29:46 Lapis’ Evidence | 33:00 Allen x Chaos | 39:44 Gaignun’s Office | 41:14 Shion Emotion | 44:31 Durandal Exploration | 52:55 Real Net | 01:00:06 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E24: The Time for Feasting Has Come [Old Miltia, Part II]
2024/02/05
Joyful memories form only one half of the whole. Form the other half by becoming child soldiers, shooting Udo with machine guns, interpreting blood spatter, living a robot’s genetic memory, witnessing Kevin’s sacrifice, blowing a head off, returning to sewer, passing through train cars, quoting Revelations, flaming out, extracting soda from mechanical carrots, drawing a false head, finding a common resonance in memory, confusing illusion with reality, finding Feb, barreling through Shion’s soul, observing the infinite boy, and slaying a biblically accurate Tiamat. This is no illusion. Accept the reality of your memories. 00:00 Infinite Perfect | 01:46 Intro | 03:21 You Do Udo? | 07:37 Miltia Playground Round 2 | 16:22 Miltia Park / Playable | 23:27 Treading the Wastes | 25:49 Labyrinthos Pitstop | 32:03 Forest Families | 43:23 Church | 49:38 Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility |57:56 Real Net | 01:00:59 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E23: The End Comes Beyond Kevin [Old Miltia, Part I]
2024/01/29
Would you shut up for a second, I’m in the zone right now. Get in your zone as we’re speculating Gundam names, shulking to ourselves, requiring only scenario guys, alluding to Udo and Zohar(s), losing nukes, deepfaking a space battle, figuring out how to edit truth video, fetishizing a cyborg knockout, finding strength in gloves, spotting a cop at the craps table, equating thunder to Kevin trauma, leveling up in the dream, building robots from father, and killing platypus helicopters. Thanks, you’re pretty cool! 00:00 GOD BLESS THE RING | 02:17 Intro | 05:34 The Gang Gets Arrested | 08:14 Lapis’ Plan | 21:26 Doctored Footage | 27:29 Punch Cop | 30:56 Durandal Sneakin’ | 35:35 Group Dive | 36:42 Shion’s Miltian Playground | 46:16 Junior’s Miltian Apocalypse | 48:24 Decimated Miltia | 51:37 Real Net | 56:13 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E22: Theologically Problematic [Kukai Foundation, Part III]
2024/01/22
This place permeates some kind of fondness for the past. Permeate your present by answering trivia questions from a kiosk, vibrating with kinky excitement, learning dream fragments are robot parts, demanding a lady’s measurements, introducing new sunglasses guys, equating the Y Data to a McGuffin, lore diving for Simeon and Nephilim, sharing perverse tastes, exposing songs that drive us to madness, binding a wallet chain to a bullet, showcasing an ominous auditorium, arguing over government funding and artifacts, suffering a farce crime, and getting arrested by a lady with a cool haircut. A man’s dream is a giant robot. 00:00 Miniseries 5 | 02:26 Intro | 03:24 AWGS Hangar | 08:00 Giant Robot Training Hall | 16:31 Launch Pad | 18:25 Dock Colony Check In | 19:18 Durandal as Junior | 22:24 Pleroma | 29:31 Albedo Interlude | 39:52 Allen KOSMOS Shion | 42:07 Jr’s Gift | 44:39 Federation Intimidation | 45:15 Parliament Argument | 53:31 Frame Job | 01:01:11 Real Net 01:05:28 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E21: There's a Ludonarrative Dissonance in This Town [Kukai Foundation, Part II]
2024/01/15
Mom doesn’t understand how a man feels. But we feel like revisiting the world map concept, observing the global hum, cranking off, reading the signs of an obvious dungeon, getting high off of explosions, dumpster diving, loading a bar with fuckheads, assigning virtue to Purple Hunchman, understanding King to be a farce, chatting up Pink Bug, extracting the fish detector, engaging in work-related familial conflict, thinking of expensive books, and spawning an Allen ghost head. I’m always telling the kids in the city: if you’re a man, become a man like me. 00:00 Explaining Suikoden To Normal People Tease | 03:17 Intro | 05:03 World Map | 07:16 City Sector 26 | 17:14 Iron Man Bar | 24:57 Our Treasure | 26:29 Sector 27 | 32:45 King’s Hideout | 39:17 Lavare | 43:54 Rooftops | 50:48 Fish Detection | 51:43 Real Net | 57:51 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E20: Central Bottom Hole [Kukai Foundation, Part I]
2024/01/08
Hey, who’s an illegitimate son? Maybe it’s us, maybe it’s you, maybe we’re inserting the Durandal in the bottom hole, wondering of space flower cities are common, as you know’ing to oblivion, finding another palm tattoo guy, A-posing like an a*****e, hinting at an anime ability, debating beach anxiety, admiring a soviet pistol, failing to comfort Shion, proposing a chaotic chaos theory, brining a screen to the beach, challenging DNA, freaking out at thunder, and wondering if the madman made more emulators. F**k it, I guess. 00:00 All the Downloadin’ | 01:53 Intro | 04:13 Approaching Kukai Foundation | 09:09 Gaignun Kukai | 16:25 Gaigun + Jr Office Chat | 25:13 Sad Sack Shion | 28:17 Launch Pad | 30:32 Beach Day | 33:41 Kevin Dissociation | 35:38 Beach Bastards | 46:35 Gaignun Calls Helmer | 54:08 Goodbye Beac\h | 56:26 Real Net | 01:00:55 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E19: Identity Diffusion, the Eternal Dilemma [Durandal, Part II]
2024/01/01
Identity diffusion: the eternal dilemma. Diffuse your identity with us as we’re wondering if child robots are programmed to hate a biological dad father, running like a big goober, bombing a pick-up line, discovering a gambling-addicted populace, begging for dig-b abuse, stealing signage, considering a fan club, telling Momo that robot fireflies are good actually, entering the Pinocchio zone, and throating the military balance. The truth that exists here may have been a bit too much for her. 00:00 New Chris | 03:00 Intro | 04:58 Where’s Momo? | 09:31 Dock | 12:25 Residential Area | 25:14 Bridge | 27:51 Hangar | 30:26 Park | 43:32 Further Exploration | 45:27 Real Net | 50:32 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E18: The Bodies of Jesus Christ and His Superstars [Durandal, Part I]
2023/12/25
Will feeling pain make me complete? Complete your own pain and listen as we’re not supplied for a gnosis attack, freaking out on the bridge, dialing up the KOSMOS contemplativeness, talkin’ bout momma, scanning transfection course, deciding it’s Kevin’s hand at work, failing the yearly review, wondering if computer mom has a virus, falling into a hell void, exposing the devil hand, telling our friends where we keep dangerous items, showing off our emulators, concocting a perfect Kukai Foundation real-world analog, reducing to salt, and insulting the biological father of our future robot girl girlfriend. No cum, just satan. 00:00 Marathon Recap | 03:15 Intro | 05:13 Asymmetrical Space Bridge Panic | 11:28 Technobabble Word Salad World Championship | 16:36 KOSMOS’ Gnosis Eradication Methods | 23:37 Pleroma Check In | 25:19 Durandal Bridge | 32:28 Miltia Flashback | 36:09 Zohar(s) | 45:46 Betty | 56:34 Real Net | 01:05:50 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.

Xenosaga E17: Ethical Consumption [Cathedral Ship, Part II]
2023/12/18
I alone can take humanity to its next natural state of evolution. Together alone, we’re inducing a tilt-shift effect, defining PS2 ladder controls, going to the mall, curing women’s diseases with herbs, softening the hardness of mother, running a doomed op, hallucinating wife and child wife, meeting Hamburger Hook, suffering the ultimate sense of peer rejection, getting anime crucified, going Gargoyle Mode, living with contradictions, embracing the arts, lusting after the great reset, failing to develop any hobbies, feeling left behind, and finding the greatest solace in slowly fading away. Everything is the Third Impact. That’s how anime works. 00:00 Intro | 02:56 Cathedral Ship Exploration | 12:45 Dirty Zohar | 14:28 The Ballad of Andrew Cherenkov IV | 17:53 More Cathedral Ship Exploration | 24:33 Golden Zohar | 37:11 The Ballad of Andrew Cherenkov V | 44:09 The Beach of Nothingness | 53:28 Existential Crisis | 56:23 Real Net I 59:38 Outro Get more Retrograde Amnesia: Support us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroam.
