E73 – Mobile Suit Gundam Conclusion



The One Year War is finally over. Peace reigns… for now.

White Base hurtles towards destruction as it attacks multiple Zeon space fortresses. Meanwhile, Michael realizes the happy ending is, retroactively, a fairly bleak one, Peter reveals his MAHQ chatroom username, and both hosts wish Lalah wasn’t cut out of the show as much.

Also included: Texan mobile suits, a Ferris Bueller fanfiction that writes itself, Zakrello hate.

Sailor Moon R: The Movie will release on September 12th


MS15 – Aura Battler Dunbine



When giant robots and fantasy collide, we apparently end up with a guy driving a motorcycle behind a bunch of unicorn-mounted cavalry.

This week in Tomino month, we take a look at Aura Battler Dunbine, an odd show that takes place below the surface of the earth.

Next week: Mobile Suit Gundam Part 3


MS14 – Fang of the Sun Dougram



Fang of the Sun Dougram, a show about a kid who learns how to pilot a giant robot and uses it to fight relatively realistic battles against the sinister Earth Federation. Sound familiar?

This week, Michael and Peter discuss a descendant of Mobile Suit Gundam, and another example of the Real Robot Genre.

E70 – Mobile Suit Gundam Part 1



Only Gundam can save us!

White Base, a ship full of orphans and refugees, begins its journey to Federation headquarters at Jaburo, fighting off vicious attacks by the Zeon forces. Meanwhile, Michael admits his bias in favor of Gundam, Peter questions how landmarks like the Grand Canyon ended up with slightly different names, and both hosts reveal that they have partly-assembled Gundam model kits on their desks.

Yeah, we’re dorks.

Also included: Tomino hates episode 15, Ramba Ral: very old man, and corporal punishment

Mobile Suit Gundam Part 2 will release on August 1st
