"Peter, if you're gonna be a leader, be strong enough to be gentle."
With the help of those words, Peter Cullen found an iconic voice for Optimus Prime. He also used that voice to introduce and close out the #Toonami version episodes of #IGPX
Peter Cullen - 1941-2026
I totally missed the memo but #IGPX will be back on #Toonami next week, at 2am in the lineup! According to the official website, it will be episode 1. It'd be cool if they aired season 2 in HD after season 1, but I'm pumped to know the show will be aired again!
The second part of the #IGPX microseries page is up, featuring all of the music used. I've also updated the complete IGPX soundtrack playlist on YouTube Music to include tracks that aren't heard in the full IGPX series. Check it out:

Randomly noticed that we just passed the 2nd anniversary of the #IGPX blu-ray release π₯³
For anyone interested in purchasing a copy, it seems that it's out of stock at major retailers. I found one retailer that still has it in stock:

After many procrastinated delays, the #IGPX Microseries (pilot) guide is finally here...mostly. I'll be adding the music info later this month, but the rest of it (screenshots, basic info, etc.) is up. Check it out:

Today marks a big anniversary for #IGPX - the 20th anniversary of the first US broadcast on #Toonami. The 2nd episode also aired on this day 20 years ago, (November 5) and that really hooked me into the series. It was a life-changing day for me.

10 years ago, Jose Argumedo graciously approached me to do an interview for my fan site for the 2016 #IGPX DVD box set release by Discotek. The interview is finally available on YouTube. When you've got some time, please give it a listen!

On October 5th, 2005, 20 years ago, the first episode of IGPX aired in Japan for the first time on TV Asahi. I made this post simply to commemorate the 20th anniversary of IGPX, and I'll be back for the anniversary for the US premiere in a month!
(new YT video coming before then)
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Blu-Ray release of #IGPX. To celebrate, I'm releasing a YouTube version of the interview that Jason DeMarco did for my IGPX fan site back in 2006 (presented in one segment, no additional commentary). Enjoy!

The "3rd Audience" is particularly interesting to me. It is basically talking about people who cannot watch or attend races, but still follow teams in the IGPX. They "enjoy communicating with others about the IGPX." This show was made before SNS was a thing, so this is cool.
The #IGPX 401 action report is now live, with more info on IG mechs, and some new exclusive info (a kind of "Did you know?!" section) that delves into the point system a bit more and the kinds of people who make up the "audiences" of the IGPX.

A premiere for the 1st episode of #Lazarus was held a few weeks ago in Japan. One of the cast members comments how proud he is that Japan has produced such a great series, with great action and music, and he can't wait for the rest of the world to see: https://t.co/NzuCbHbKoA?...
I can see similarities in the animation between KotS and Lazarus, in both style and fluidity. There are also many great scenes and moments later on thanks to things having been built up very well in earlier episodes. Can't wait to finish it and to also start watching Lazarus!
By coincidence, I started watching a series recently that happens to have been directed by Shinichiro Watanabe: "Kids on the Slope". I was like, "That name sounds familiar..." Found out the company, MAPPA, also made #Lazarus (along with Sola). Makes me more excited for episode 1!
