Fresh off Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, we take a deep dive into the (limited) lore around the Cosmic Era's genetically enhanced humans known as Coordinators. We run through Coordinator history from George Glenn's reveal all the way to his brain in a jar. Plus, Isaac pitches a devious new plot for Blue Cosmos - COORVID-19 - and we discover the Coordinator slur!
P.S. Come join us for Gundam Trivia at Anime Expo Chibi 2024 on November 10th!

It's September 0079, and Degwin Zabi has ordered you to destroy the RX-78-2 Gundam at all costs! How do you do it?! In this episode, we discuss methods we would have employed to destroy the White Devil. All options are on the table, including nukes, water, and even pretty women. Along the way we explore Trowa's connection to Batman, the Sleggar butterfly effect, and create a new amphibious mobile armor unit called the Javy Dones (with Silvers John!).
P.S. Isaac will have a new microphone soon!
P.P.S. See you all at ax chibi 2024!

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom has finally arrived on Netflix! At long last, we can correct the tragedy that was our theater experience with a proper review! Made with love for Cosmic Era fans, the film is beautiful but feels a bit familiar to its predecessors. Lakoose returns with GelGOOGs and smorgasbords; Evidence 01 becomes a replica; an Archangel gets its wings; Kira buckles up even further; and the Queen does her best Benjamin Button impression (apparently?). Plus we ask the usual hard hitting questions like, how many governments can ZAFT have in only four years? What is an N-Jammer Dazzler? Should Agnes get the death penalty? Did Foundation realize the foundation of their plan was also its single point of failure? Oh well, it's their Requiem...
-
We conclude our discussion of The Plot to Assassinate Gihren with one goal in mind: find the answer to the mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma – who is Reginleif? Plus, ads are coming soon to a space colony near you; Degwin proves to be a visionary; Command HQ double taps; the Galbaldy appears but the White Rose answers; Lieutenant Stressful freaks out; Oleg turns out to be the MVP; and Stone Cold’s DTA motto proves to be wise life advice as usual. After the dust settles, we are left with perhaps an even bigger question – who are the Original 11?

Bandai Namco called and they need record breaking profits and they need them yesterday! Luckily, Sunset Productions has arrived with a solution: license the Mobile Suit Gundam brand into as many punny products as humanly possible. No industry shall be left unexploited and no demographic shall be left unsatisfied. Cucko clocks? We’ve got those. Cashews? We’ve got those too. Organ donation advocacy? Oh, you better believe it! Get your wallets out, because you’re going shopping!

The One Year War is almost at its close in December 0079, but something is amiss in the Principality of Zeon... We follow Leopold Fieseler's investigation of the shadowy organization known as Valkyrie which has one goal - to kill Gihren Zabi! If you enjoy Gundam politics and One Year War lore, The Plot to Assassinate Gihren is a veritable multicourse dessert. We take in a Zeonic opera, witness another use of the Ginias juice, see a firefighting Z'Gok in action, and slowly learn that Kycilia has eyes and ears everywhere. Plus we discuss how many Gwazine's exist and contemplate whether General Henri's Colony Defense Battalion is a bunch of sandbagging SOBs!
-
We discuss our lists of five battles, characters, mobile suits, scenarios, or situations we want to see more of in future Gundam projects. Isaac digs deep for more faction lore, including the nukes of Blue Cosmos, the corporate militaries in the Ad Stella timeline, and even all seven space wars! Meanwhile, Brian asks for clarity on the rarely referenced Four Avengers, the mysterious Valkyrja frames, and the wannabe noble Buch family. Plus, we talk about the Bugs for the second episode in a row - that has to be some sort of Gundam podcast record! Let us know what you want to see more of!

Pull up a chair to hear the tale of how on May 8, 2024, we became two of the most unlucky Gundam fans in the United States trying to watch the new film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom. In better news, we will be running Gundam trivia at Anime Expo 2024! Plus, we have a new mascot and need you to help us name her! Double plus, Sunrise reanimated part of Aura Battler Dunbine? Are you kidding me? Attack, attack, attack~~~!

You might have been thinking, "Wow, did Gundam 00 really kill Brian and Isaac?" The answer is no. We would never relent to our nemesis! On this episode, we focus all our newtype potential into finishing the fight against the Innovade menace in Gundam 00 Season 2! This show raises the stakes in the back half as Ribbons abuses his brain WiFi powers; Graham becomes Mr. Weeaboo; Lyle replaces Neil even though cyborg-Neil is a way better idea; Louise and Saji forget how to use a phone; Sumeragi hooks up with Allelujah (or was it Hallelujah?); and Setsuna evolves into an Innovator because reasons. Plus, we discuss Gundam the Musical, the prospect of livestreaming nude limbo, and even make a Beerfest reference.
-
Finally, the time has come to face our nemesis. We embark on an exhausting discussion/review of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 1! While Celestial Being tries to eradicate war, we find that Sunrise did not learn from Gundam Wing's lessons on boredom; Alejandro is The Man with the Golden Gun; OO beats SEED in volume but not in the physics department; and that spider mobile armors truly are the fiercest killers in the mobile weapon kingdom! Plus, Isaac prays for nukes and issues a PSA about buying GN Drives from Temu.
Lock-on! Lock-on! Lock-on!
-
We board the Thoroughbred, a covert Pegasus-class ship, armed with Gundam Units 4 & 5 and head toward Granada to fend off Zeon during the final stage of the One Year War! While Gundam pilots Ford Romfellow and Luce Cassell work on their teamwork, Isaac declares there are just too many damn Gundams! #OnlyOneGundam! Zeon counters with the skeptical General Nord and the blunt object named Mallet Sanguine in the terrifyingly fast Act Zaku from Pezun. Can the Gundam pilots get it together in time to stop Mallet’s rage? Plus, we digest the rocky Konpei Island vs. Confeito naming issue!
-
If Gundam Evolution taught us anything, it's that Sunrise ripped off the wrong game. But here at Sunset, we are smarter than that. We know exactly which game Sunrise should rip off next. Join us as we lay the foundation for what would easily be one of the most fun Gundam games of all time: Gundam Smash Bros.! We discuss potential characters, stages, items, assist trophies, and more! Plus, we hit tangents of all kinds including Diddy Kong Racing and Wizpig, IG-88 and R2-D2, and whether the SEED Freedom film might include a Kira Yamatwo. Extra points for any listeners who can guess our Smash mains before we reveal them!
-
We tour the ruins of Side 4 in Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky and Bandit Flower where the Federation's Moore Brotherhood goes head-to-head with Zeon's Living Dead Division for control of the Thunderbolt Sector during the One Year War. Or as we like to think of it - that time when a bunch of Federation volunteers led by some rich kids fought amputees over control of a junkyard in a universe where ice sinks. We discuss how prosthetic technology seems to have regressed, Zeon's patented shoot n' scoot strategy, the Federation's tendency to slap first and ask questions later, the Psycho Zaku's bootleg psycommu, and the Atlas Gundam's magic skis that also somehow both fly and float. Plus, we talk about pies!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, listeners! On this episode, Brian handcuffs Isaac to Santa’s sleigh and we fly through our rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas! Our Twelve Days of Gundam-mas features spinning HLVs, Murrue’s WMDs, GG gas, colony drops (of course), and much more! Even Afranche Char gets a mention! PLUS: We create New Year’s resolutions for Gundam characters ranging from the Zabis, Mwu La Flaga, Crux Dogatie, Bandai-Namco itself, and many others! DOUBLE PLUS: We reveal our original Gundam Christmas stories from last year not previously heard on this podcast – A Fright Before Christmas and A Very Merry Cruxmas!
-
We head back to the front lines of the One Year War to read the 2002 manga series Mobile Suit Gundam: Lost War Chronicles! We join up with Matt Healy’s Special Forces Experimental Unit as they trade blows with Ken Bederstadt’s Zeon Foreign Legion across the Earth. Despite the Tokyopop version missing the beginning, middle, and end, this manga surprises us in the best ways! We hear Zeon accents once again, see tanks given no quarter, watch as Ken earns a pitiful ace pilot name, and even visit the Cosmodrome! Can Matt lead his team to victory? Let's find out!
-
The time has come to revisit G-Saviour - the first Gundam live action film from way back in 1999! If you don't CONSENT to this experience, now is your chance to back out! Join us as our hero Mark Curran serves up a sassy one-liner almost as often as his old pal Jack tries to murder someone; General Garneaux gets hot and heavy after green champagne; Mimi can't decide if she's a double agent or just a woman scorned; Gaia's engineers and farmers are unfairly fed to the mobile suit combat meat grinder; and we pine for the lineart designs compared to the end products. Plus, we discuss our favorite Sci-Fi Originals which include vampires, yetis, and the headless horseman!
-
You requested it - no - you demanded it! We finally sortie in Gundam Battle Operation 2! Will this be the one Gundam game to rule them all? As we fight our way through the tutorial gauntlet, the absurd matchmaking times, and the ancient UI just to play the game, we find our preferred MS on unusual sides - Isaac in the Guncannon and Brian in the Gouf Custom. What world is this? Plus, Isaac refuses to buy any custom parts and dies, and Brian buys all the custom parts, but still also dies. While it's better than Evolution, we're still holding out for Gundamfield and Gundam-Strike.
-
It's time to empty our mailbag once more in this double-sized episode! Isaac reveals that Banagher makes him second guess Zeonism. What is worse - short series with terrible endings or long series that are terrible all the way through? Should Iron Mask be a newtype cult leader? Who cleans the toilets under Durandal's Destiny plan? Is Isaac wearing Dom underwear right now? What exactly is an ascot? And for the main event our California Isaac goes head-to-head with an Australian Isaac concerning exactly how bad the impact of Operation British would have been on Australia! Caution - we do real math in this episode!
-
We finally end the misery by flying through the rest of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam! The second half takes a dip before it tries to soar at the end as Shakti gets passed around like a football to move the plot along, Junko leaves Brian way too early, Uso bites Lupe's boob, Tassilo gets handsy with Fualla's bells, everybody in Zanscare backstabs each other, the good guys solve everything with kamikaze attacks, Katejina kills everyone you love, Cronicle bonks his head, and then everyone dies. The End. Are there any Zanscare fans out there? Do you exist? Hello?
