3 nerds sit around watch Gundam Seed while making snarky comments and occasionally less insipid commentary. It's a blast!
Let's see how long this stays up: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/58af6c6b9f745630bdab3d34/258a4dd8-e75b-421e-850b-83c408a8693f/businessbabe.png?content-type=image%2Fpnghttps://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Poral_Guilish
The Albion chases Gato and the GP-02 into space, but has its crew been replaced by pod people? Or have Nina and Kou just been doing a lot of drugs that are making them act out of character? Also, is Cima the character find of 1991, or just a generic female antagonist? And is Monsha capable of being... right about something?
Zeon apparently spent the 3 years following the One Year War playing Minecraft, because they're hiding out in a diamond mine. Can Gato escape to space with the one diamond they managed to mine? And the champagne? And the oil portrait of Ghiren Zabi? And that nuke he stole I guess? Or will the Albion crew be able to stop him and Zeon's army of mismatched Zakus?
In the aftermath of Gato's attack on the base, new pilots arrive in order to challenge Keith for the title of "The worst". Will they succeed in besting him? Is one of them, in fact, the worst ever? And how long will the hosts go on a tangent about the NFL when its acknowledged in universe?
It's Episode 2 of Stardust Memory! Can Gato escape the Federation base with his cool new Gundam? It turns out, he's a nightmare when it comes to piloting, and Chuck sucks, so probably.
It's a Gundam! continues its tour of the Universal Century OVAs with the second series, Mobile Suit Gundam: Stardust Memory. Geremy spoils the end of Mobile Suit Gundam at the beginning so... skip that if you don't want a 46 year old anime series spoiled for you. How does the first episode of Stardust compare to War in the Pocket? Who's the worst? How insensitive is diagnosing the main character's mental illness? And what surprise character has the best suit? Fashion suit, not mobile suit. As a programming note, the subtitle fields where we mention the actual episode we're watching will have the Japanese name of the episode, since there's not a great way to account for both of them in there.
We're back to give our final thoughts on War in the Pocket. Is it as good as everyone says? Who was MVP of this brief series? And how do we rank all the mobile suits that did (or didn't) appear?
It's the final episode of War in the Pocket! Will a Quattro Bajeena cosplaying Bernie be able to defeat a Gundam with nothing but a Zaku, some duct tape and a heat hawk? Will Al become a likable and respectable human being? And does Side 6 get nuked?
One day, maybe some day soon, a week will pass in which all three of us are healthy enough to record a podcast, and we will have a glorious return to weekly episodes. Until then, enjoy our Christmas/year review special, in which we desperately try to remember what media we consumed during the year, and Geremy tries not to be grumpy because he's still sick! New episodes of its a Gundam should be on Patreon starting next week!
It's Christmas! So why is Bernie getting drunk and on a plane to Space Florida? Who's going to stop Zeon from nuking Talcot? Also, who's Talcot?
Merry Christmas! Well, if you're listening on Patreon or if you're in the world of War in the Pocket. Otherwise, Merry Christmas was a week ago! Is War in the Pocket going to give us a good episode to celebrate? Listen and find out.
We've already reached the halfway point of War in the Pocket! Also, we're all sick and grumpy. Will that cause Zach to come around on Al? Is Geremy making a bunch of belligerent political jokes a result of the election, the holidays, or being sick? And who is the Gundam home run king?
It's time for episode 2 of War in the Pocket! Does Alfred get any better? Who is Gundam's new shitty teen, and why is his team hazing him like he's a college kid? Does Chris do anything in this show? And what dumb nickname would you give a Gundam in the RX-Series? Listen and find out.
It's episode one of our OVA arc, starting with Mobile Suit Gundam: War in the Pocket. How 80s is this anime from 1989, the last year of the 80s? Who's the main character? And how good is animation that costs $100 an episode?
After a brief hiatus, we're back to talk about our final thoughts on Witch From Mercury. Was it good? How could the ending have been better? What effect will WFM have on the future of Gundam? And which characters do we realize we've been mixing of Durundal-and-Djibril style midway through the episode? Listen to find out!
It's our 2024 Thanksgiving Thanktacular, where we thank all of our patrons for the year! What else do we do? We had plans we announced on our patreon, but Geremy decided to change them last second, in the middle of the episode, so you'll have to listen and see. Hear? Listen and hear.

It's the finale! Did they stick the landing?! There's no way to know!
Suletta just wants to talk to her family and somebody had to show up with a Deathstar.
We hit the emotional climax this week as Suletta and Miorine reunite. Also, we speculate a lot on Guel's motivation, make fun of Lauda, and try to figure out once and for all just what the Space Assembly League is.
As we get ready to enter the climax of Witch From Mercury, the Earth House student body finish their character arcs, Suletta tells everyone about her family situation, and Miorine's first act as president is to go take a nap. Also, since adults and teachers can't do anything, Belmeria and the remaining Uber driver try to make the kids an offer they can't refuse.
Everything is exploding! Shaddiq's entire plan crumbles in a way that definitely isn't his fault, and was not preventable, Guel attempts to get revenge for that time he accidentally killed his own father, Petra complains about her boyfriend, and some one gets a new mobile suit! Can you guess who?
Armed with their new rap personas, Miorine and Guel head to Earth to see if they can suppress the riots, as part of Miorine's campaign for president. It's too bad she can't just debate Shaddiq on the issues, that would certainly help the members of the group decide who they wanted to make president, and would not just devolve into two teenagers shouting insults at each other. Politics have really advanced in the future!
Everyone is wearing an uncomfortable suit this episode! After breaking Suletta's heart, Miorine is onto bigger things, trying to take her dad's job! Meanwhile, Chuchu tries to console her old friend, and Prospera tries her hand at being comic relief. Meanwhile, Eri decides she's tired of being a Mobile Suit, and wants to be a real girl.
Remember at the start of this series when it looked like this was going to be a weird Gundam Dating Sim Game? That show is back for an episode! Guel confesses his feeling, but Suletta is determined to get the Miorine ending! Surely she's not going to pick any dialogue options regarding her own mother that will ruin her life? Also, what's worse, a Bad Ending, or a Happy Birthday?
Guys, I think Prospera might be the bad guy. On the other hand, she did install the first security system that prevents a Gundam from being stolen merely by thinking about it, so maybe she's a necessary evil?
After psychically sensing the distress of his brother, Bob takes the "have a worse day than Lauda Neill" challenge.
It's time for the Rumble Ring to begin, and that can't be a bad thing right? It's just some good old fashioned fun, right? It's not as though some terrorists are going to show up with a steel chair, or their beams set to full power to ruin the day. So buy some goat's milk, don't worry about the cops, and enjoy episode 14 of Witch from Mercury.
We're back with the second half of Witch From Mercury! After Suletta's totally normal actions at the end of the last season, she's ready to get back to school, and meet her new kohai. I'm sure they're upstanding young people who don't do any drugs or murders probably.
Finally, after years of waiting, we saw Gundam SEED Freedom, and sat down to record our thoughts on the film. Generally? Positive!
Remember when this was a nice show about sapphic school girls? Now it's Gundam; Who will survive?
On this week's episode: ahhh, they're perfect for each other.
Oh no! We can't remember anyone's names, and Miorine left us, and her dad is saying nice things, and there are weird new factions, and some random new character got a job... what are we going to do?! I guess watch Episode 10 and try to talk about it without cringing too much?
The whole school might simp for them, but when Shaddiq's focus grouped harem of school baes shows up, will Zach, Tyler and Geremy be able to remember their names? And will they learn the name of the members of Earth house that oppose them, or will they be doomed to being named after Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards for all eternity? Oh, also I guess there's a super high stakes duel to decide who gets to own the Gund-Arm Corporation.
In this episode, Miorine puts on a hiring fair for her new company, recruiting Nika, Chuchu, Martin, Lililpup, Ojama Yellow, The Gambler, Tik-Tok and Fortune Teller Lady to Gund-Arm Inc. That's definitely all their names right?
This week we take a break from duels and schools and go to business prom, brought to you by Kickstarter. Is Miroine's new business plan sound? What's Prospera up to? And how many techs did it take to build the stage here? No wonder the Benerit Group is going out of business with unneeded expenses like that.
Can Suletta Mercury win a duel against someone other than infamous jobber Guel Jeturk? And if she can, what will she win? She doesn't even want to duel Elan, she wants to date him! Plus, everyone is hear(ing) her pleas for Elan to just talk to her. Luckily, this is just a silly school anime with mobile suit duels and surely won't end in tragedy.
Things get intense as Suletta gets her fortune told, and has a date with a handsome boy. That's definitely increased stakes from her having to duel to save her sister right? Certainly its higher stakes than her having that dream where she kept failing her test over and over and had to retake it!
Someone's set a trap card face down in episode 4 of Witch From Mercury. Sueltta is taking a... class... test.... practical... lab thing, so surely we'll learn how school works this episode? Does the series have enough female bullies yet? And will this angry pink-haired girl get added to Sueltta's harem, or be relegated to the friend line? We discuss all this and more! Also, please do go watch the stupid thing Tyler made! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY39lssMhWQ&ab_channel=LastPodcasts It's also all over social media, but we don't have an official one of those, so if you'd like one, let us know at gundam@lasttimeonvideogames.com!
Today on Witch from Mercury, we mostly discuss "what if the character from WFM were something else"? What would their fursonas be? What tarot cards are they? And of course, what if they were all Evangelion characters. Oh, also I guess there's a super high stakes duel that finishes establishing the personalities of the three main characters, but more importantly, what Super Mario Powerups are they?
It's time for a witch trial in episode 2 of Witch From Mercury. Is the Ariel a Gundam? Is Suletta a Witch, G or otherwise? Is Prospera a Char? And perhaps most importantly: is Guel just Asuka from Evangelion? All of these questions and more will be asked during our inquisition.
