About On the Shoulders of Giants
A giant robot power hour discussing mechs across media, their stories, and why we love them.

From anime and manga to video games, tabletops, and everything in between, we at OSG comprehensively rate our favorite mechs and continually challenge each other to come up with the stupidest trivia games imaginable. Let's launch into it!
