Pour one out for Lila Milla Rira. Gen Urobuchi sure will. First Gundam was big on its villain of the week, but a real feature of Zeta was the grunt of the week: a design that isn't even particularly threatening, but shows up like "wow reasonable cool robot" then fades into the background. Of that style, the Galbaldy is one. And yet, there's more going on than you might think. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is Hoshizora no Believe by Mami Ayukawa from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

It's funny to think about Advance of Zeta, and the Titans Test Team, as an extension of the Titans. It fits surprisingly well- 0083 already shows that the factions within the Federation that would become the Titans are throwing money around like crazy on mobile suit designs that are irrelevant by the time of Zeta. The GM Cannon II, the GM Custom, the whole Gundam Development Project... and of course the GM Quel, which would end up being the Rosetta Stone of the wild world of AoZ designs. But we've already talked about most of them. Let's talk about the Hrairoo. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar.

Transformable mobile suits. Remember when we all thought those were the way of the future? It's probably too harsh to call them a "fad," but they're like... I don't know, like kale. For a minute everyone's convinced we should be doing all kale all the time, and now it's just a food you sometimes have. Sure, I'll take a Gaplant. Why not. But Mobile Armor forms are more of a novelty, I think. All due respect. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar.

Oh buddy, you better buckle up for this one. Welcome to space, but now with different factions. Same people their just calling each other by different names, it's not confusing at all don't worry… Captain Bright is still raising/slapping kids though, some things never change. Oh! Char is doing some real Batman to Bruce Wayne nonsense and no one can tell, crazy. Just don't get me started with the dude from Jupiter, guy just seduces women to do everything for him, also crazy. The Zeta Gundam can harvest souls for power, I guess that's important, like some twisted Dragonborn robot filled with too many personalities.Our Links:Ian Wolffe

The return of the loser who should be dead! The Byarlant is a bit overshadowed in Zeta with all the other funny friends we get to meet, but at least it doesn't have enough weapons and its variants do literally nothing to address this!

The Titans, elites within the federation army tasked with the responsibility of hunting the remnants of the Zeon empire, rule their citizens with an iron first through the means of torture, mass murder, and fear. Rising to counter this threat, the Aeug have proclaimed open war upon the Titans. Enter Kamille Bidan, a talented young New Type. Finding himself aboard the Argama, an Aeug attack cruiser, Kamille must prove his worth as a capable mobile suit pilot. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wasasum/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wasasum/support

Devon and Gio return after another (predictable) hiatus to examine the much maligned sequel to the smash hit Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Devon remain optimistic while Gio fans herself at the very notion of Haman Karn. Things do get better! That is a promise! In today's episode we cover episodes 1-15 of the 1986 TV Anime Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ.

Today's episode is another Weekly Suit Gundam  extravaganza, this time on the controversial Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, but before that, we also discuss this week's abhorrent Presidentially-ordered insurrection at the US capital, and – in a lighter topic – Jonathan becoming infatuated with Genshin Impact, Sean's 2020 Game of the Year. Then it's on to Gundam SEED Destiny, a show that tries to be two different, contradictory shows at once: a challenging sequel questioning the assumptions and characters from the original, a la Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and a straight-up sequel to SEED – Gundam SEED: Here We Go Again – and in the shuffle, somehow makes us hate the entire returning cast even while it buries and repeatedly does dirty its interesting new characters. The result is one of the most inept sequel stories ever told – but undeniably one of the most compelling to talk about. TIME CHART: Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:02:14The Whole Coup Thing: 0:02:14 – 0:22:08Genshin Impact: 0:22:08 – 0:43:12Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: 0:43:12 – 4:10:48 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!

The day of reckoning has arrived – at last, it is time to review perhaps the most controversial show in the Gundam pantheon: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, the baffling, confounding, infuriating, utterly fascinating sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Set two years later with both new and returning characters, Destiny tries to be two different, contradictory shows at once: a challenging sequel questioning the assumptions and characters from the original, a la Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and a straight-up sequel to SEED – Gundam SEED: Here We Go Again – and in the shuffle, somehow makes us hate the entire returning cast even while it buries and repeatedly does dirty its interesting new characters. The result is one of the most inept sequel stories ever told – but undeniably one of the most compelling to talk about. Enjoy, and come back next time as Gundam revisits its canonical sequel series with Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation film trilogy!

Devon & Tooch reach the finish line of what Devon thinks is Tomino's best work, you will see the tears of time, or rather hear them coming from our faces. In this episode we finish up Zeta Gundam with episodes 38 thru 50!

What would happen if you turned a cockroach into a human being? 1985's Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam seeks to answer this question, by fully introducing us to the despicable, the endearing, the nasty, the capable, the one and only... Yazan Gable! This is the guy who sucks, and we love him so, so much.

The Titans commit more atrocities, The AEUG rises in political power, Char grows up a bit and Jerid loses his soul. Devon is overdosing on Tomino juice and Tooch is a full fledged simp for Haman Karn, would you expect anything less? In this episode we cover episodes 25 thru 37 of the 1985 seminal series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam!

Tooch and Devon discuss everything from Bright Noa's marriage to Kamille's inability to process his own emotions and somehow still have time to discuss the plot! In this episode we cover episodes 15 through 24 of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam!
