E93 – G Gundam



We’ve been waiting so long for this moment…

Gundams fight! And they fight! And they continue fighting, until only one is left. Meanwhile, Michael is suitably satisfied with Master Asia (The Undefeated of the East), Peter appreciates some of the technological body horror aspects of the DG cells, and both hosts shake their heads at the weird stereotyping that runs throughout the show.

Also included: Robo John McClane, Master Asia’s awesome martial arts, Neo Mexico: Seriously Guys?

G Gundam Part 2 will release on June 19th


MS16 – Space Runaway Ideon



Three trucks merge into a super robot that causes horrifying destruction. Guess that’s what happens when Tomino directs a super robot show.

This week in Tomino month, the Buff Clan and the inhabitants of planet Solo begin fighting a meaningless war based on a misunderstanding, and Michael and Peter try to figure it out.

MS12 – Voltus V



Five teenagers. Five vehicles. One giant robot. Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

This week, we watched a terribly produced compilation of Voltes V made for American audiences. Why didn’t Toonami show more super robot stuff?
