Prepare your beam sabers and polish your Zaku helmets-this episode of Play Comics is about to launch straight into the Universal Century! We're diving headfirst into the PS2 classic Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon, where the only thing more intense than the space battles is trying to pronounce “RX-78-2” three times fast. Joining the fray is none other than Derek Van Dyke from Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo, who's here to help us decide once and for all: Is it better to fight for the Federation, or is life just more fun in a mono-eyed mobile suit? Expect hot takes, cooler mobile suits, and at least one attempt to dodge a colony drop with nothing but sheer podcasting bravado. So grab your joystick, pick a side, and get ready for a barrage of wit, wisdom, and way too many references to Newtypes. The One Year War has never sounded this entertaining. Learn such things as: How real is the science of Gundam? Do you really have to play as one of the characters to have a game that feels right? If I thought of a story arc that already existed, does that make me a genius or just guilty of pre-plagarism? And so much more! You can find Derek on BlueSky and of course as part of the Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo.

This week on Play Comics, we're taking you on a high-speed tour through Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space, a PS2 classic that's equal parts thrilling dogfight simulator and love letter to Universal Century lore. From piloting iconic mobile suits to reenacting pivotal battles from the One Year War, this game has everything a Gundam fan could ask for—except ground-based combat (but hey, who needs dirt when you've got asteroids?). Joining us for this cosmic adventure is George from Shortbox Summary, who brings his signature wit and deep knowledge of pop culture to the discussion. Together, we'll explore what makes Encounters in Space stand out among Gundam games, share our favorite moments from its sprawling story modes, and maybe even speculate about Zeon's questionable interior design choices. Strap in—it's going to be a bumpy ride through the stars! Learn such things as: Did George really say starting with SD Gundam is a viable option for me? If you can't find a character you like here, are you even trying? Zoomy zoomy, shooty shooty giant robots got big booties. And so much more! You can find George on Bluesky @shortboxsummary.bsky.social and of course over at Shortbox Summary.

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?
Episode 489: This week we take a look at the short Netflix series Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance. A fully CG animated story set during the last remaining battles of the One Year War in the Universal Century of the Gundam Universe. Solari is the captain of the Zeon strike team Red Wolves, when she loses her comrades in trying to survive the onslaught of Earth's Gundam RX78 EX, she begins to realize that her and her loved one's survival triumphs over winning the war.
We join up with Captain Iria Solari's Red Wolf Squadron as they drop into the One Year War's Eastern European theater in Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance! Despite being on Netflix, Solari's team has a very unchill time as they encounter the nightmarish Gundam EX and have to resort to Zaku Wacky Types patched together in a Zeon junkyard. In this series where every human looks like an uncanny glazed donut, we discuss Zeon's notebook of stock squadron names, probe Solari's psyche for possible ending motives, and recognize Zeon's sleight of hand skills for stealing the GM keys! What are you waiting for? Get in your Zack-u or your Saberfish and join the fight!
War in the Middle East has the entire world on edge. Here at home, the war is also contributing to America's divisions, from anti-Semitism on college campuses to hate crimes against Arab Americans to a significant breakdown in Jewish-Muslim relations. What has a year of peacemaking among America's faith groups looked like amidst those tensions? And what does a biblical call to peacemaking (Matthew 5:9) look like for Christians here in the US?

Rashad, noted Gundam fan and Antonio, watching any Gundam for the first time ever, review Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance on Netflix. While some of the classic mobile suit Gundam tropes have been subverted, we both talk pros and cons of this new installment of the One Year War.

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!
Attention all Gundam fanatics and mech maniacs! Today we're blasting off into the cosmos with Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front for the PlayStation 2! Joining us is none other than Scott Wachter from the wildly popular podcast The Recap From Mercury. Scott's expertise lies in overanalyzing obtuse science fiction plots, so he's the perfect wingman to navigate the tangled narrative threads of the One Year War. Will the valiant Federation pilots emerge victorious against the dastardly Zeon forces? Can any of us mere mortals comprehend the sheer scale of these titanic mech battles? And is Scott prepared to have his mind blown by the sheer excess of beam spam? Strap in tight and get ready for rocket-powered robot rampage as we go full psyco gundam on Zeonic Front! The battlefield drama awaits…just try not to get caught in the crossfire. Over and out, soldiers! Learn such things as: Is everyone in the wrong uniform really a bad guy? How can a simple TV programming snafu change the course of a generation? Do we need more games where you play as the villains? And so much more!

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!
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!
What's up, dudes? AA and CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night join me to dive into 1989's “Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket!” It's the “Rogue One” of the One Year War, and it happens at Christmas!In the final days of the One Year War of UC 0079, a young boy named Al who idolizes war and giant mech suits befriends Zeon special ops member Bernie. Bernie is part of a cadre of terrorists who have been sent undercover to a neutral space colony to capture the Federation's new Gundam "Alex". When Al finds the soldier and his robot hidden in the forest, the boy quickly agrees to help this new friend, not knowing the soldier is an enemy spy. Al and Bernie become friends with Christina, unaware she's the pilot of the Earth Federation's prototype. When Bernie's mission fails, Zeon leaders plot to nuke the colony on Christmas Day. Not wishing for senseless death, Bernie tries one last ditch effort which results in a battle between his mobile suit and Christina's. Tragedy follows, and Al is scarred for life.Cool giant robot suits? Check. Espionage and black ops missions? Got ‘em. Blurred lines between good and evil? Definitely!

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!

Show Notes On the podcast this week, Nina was inspired to answer once and for all whether Lt. J.G. Bernard Monsha, veteran of the One Year War and future member of the Titans, is in fact a mythical bird-demon from Japanese folklore. Along the way she discovered that the answer to the question "what is a tengu?" is actually pretty complex. Join us for MSB 9.7: Demons - Harbingers - Protectors for the definitive answer. Show notes to come, thanks for your patience! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

We head back to the frontlines of the One Year War to review the 2022 film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island (or Amuro's Weekend Getaway, as Isaac calls it). The film is a cinematic side story in which Gopp hires women, M'Quve should've lead with the napalm, Doan teaches us how to milk a goat, Bright dual wields bridge phones, and the Jaburo propnunciation debate recurs. Plus, we miss the most important plot point (but figure it out in the end), discuss the implied morbidity of a full 0079 remake, and find evidence of The Bright Noa Academy for Gentlemanly Officers' beginning in plain sight. If you haven't already, go see this film now!
UC 0079. The One Year War continues to rage on. On this episode of Screen Weens we watch a 12 issue series that focuses on the ground units on Earth, driving away the Zeon forces.

This episode covers the short manga story by Kondoh san featuring the immortal Frederick Braun. This story is set in UC 0079 in the waning days of the One Year War. Zeon forces are preparing for a special operation deep in Solomon. Braun was ordered to complete this desperate mission, but will he be able to complete it? Or will he meet his own nightmare at Solomon/ソロモンの悪夢 (sorry I had to do it)?

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) are here to spread the holiday cheer with their annual holiday episode and what better way to do that, than by talking about the horrors of war. We talk about the six-episode OVA series Gundam 0080 that showcases a different view of the One Year War and Jared also managed to get AL to watch more Gundam.
Trick or treat! Sunset Productions is back and giving out treats in the form of Gundam Halloween special ideas! Brian makes kids dress up and relive the One Year War in order to claim their candy - oh the horror! Isaac does his best Crypt Keeper impression to spin a terrifying yet punny anthology known as the Nightmares of Solomon! Brian finishes the trip around the block by sending us to a post-apocalyptic hellscape with Old Man Domon and The Red Comet. Plus, Brian might try to carve a Gundam jack-o'-lantern. Happy Halloween, everybody!

In this month's installment of our readthrough of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, we're covering more flashback material. This volume encompasses Operation British, the Battle of Loum, and the early portion of the One Year War. It's packed with action, spectacle, and emotionally resonant human drama. Most of all, it's also a masterpiece of political theater. Join us as we provide our usual chapter-by-chapter commentary, packed with varied and sundry references and historical tidbits! Also, please note that we'll be taking a bye week next week. Albert will be at San Diego Comic-Con. Find him at the Beefypoo booth!
In the year 0079 of the Universal Century, a boy named Amuro Ray climbed into the cockpit of the RX-78-2 Gundam and changed the course of the One Year War. For episode 0079, we return from an extended spring break to discuss the series that started it all - Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979! In the first half of the series, we learn that Zeon women are ride or die to the very end, Garma loves himself, the Federation is definitely not your friend, the White Base's chef is truly dedicated to his craft, M'Quve drives a death onion, and the level of hand-to-face violence is off the charts!
The recent opening of Disney's Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel has broken new ground in interactive vacation experiences. So naturally, Sunset Productions is here to Gundamify it. We cordially invite you to a two-night dinner theater/LARP/adventure (buffet included!) aboard the Buch Concern's latest luxury space liner within the neutral zone of Side 6. All ride-or-die Zeon space fascists are encouraged to destroy the Federation's new Gundam Unit 13 rumored to be aboard the ship. Enjoy some Titans foie gras while you sip a Zum City martini (meticulously measured Jupiter water also available) during your search for the Haro spy. The One Year War has never been this luxurious!
With my 08th MS team reaction series coming soon, we discuss elements of the series that I can cover. Also, a new Gundam story is on the horizon, with Rust Horizon - set during the One Year War.

A legend is born in Part III of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin – Dawn of Rebellion, which sees Casval Rem Deikun adopt – er, violently steal – the identity of Char Aznable, and gradually develop the colorful, calculating persona made so iconic in Gundam '79. It's one of the most entertaining episodes in the history of Gundam, an archetypal military academy story built on the foundation of Char's twisted friendship with Garma Zabi, and all leading inexorably towards the horrors of the One-Year War. We discuss that at length as today's main topic, but before diving into Gundam, you'll also hear Sean talk about Genshin Impact, hear Jonathan's thoughts on (finally!) watching HBO's venerable masterpiece Deadwood, and learn our reaction to the latest slew of Doctor Who rumors!

By the time of the late 1970's, Japan's airwaves were flooded with giant robots. Every week new adversaries would appear for their super-powered robot heroes to smash and save the day. However, as the animation genre itself was changing from TV Manga to Anime, giant robots also needed to change into something more meaningful and Yoshiyuki Tomino had an idea how to do it. Welcome to season 1 episode 34 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast! Today Joe and Mark give you a crash course on the making of Mobilesuit Gundam and the plot of the original series. This week's topic is also at the request of twitter follower "GeoFire" after winning our contest on twitter...a little while ago.

In the midst of the One Year War, the ground war between Federation and Zeon forces is tense. Shiro Amata, a young Fed officer, develops unexpected feelings for a Zeon pilot, Aina Sahalin, and neither of their lives, nor their nations, will ever be the same. The Bingecast Gundam Crew-- Jay, Zeke, and Chris-- are back to begin the next installment of their binge of the Whole Damn Saga, with their first part of "Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th MS Team."

It's another dive into the world of Mobile Suit Gundam this week with MS IGLOO, but before that, you'll also hear some big personal news from Sean, more discussion of Jason Schreier's fantastic new book Press Reset, and more Resident Evil talk, including Jonathan's experience playing Resident Evil Zero for the first time. Then we're off to one of the most obscure corners of Gundam animation, with the 6-episode CGI OVA MS IGLOO and its 3-episode sequel series MS IGLOO 2: Gravity Well. Originally produced for the Bandai museum in Japan, the first series suffers from repetitive storytelling, thin plotting, and some of the worst 3D CGI animation the early 2000s had to offer, and on its own, there's not a ton worth saying about it. But the sequel series, produced in 2008, isn't just a huge step forward in the quality of the CGI production – it's also a wonderfully unique, compellingly told set of ground-level war stories that make for essential viewing for anyone interested in the One-Year War period of Universal Century Gundam, and is a lot of fun to talk about.

We join Oliver May's weapon testing team on the Jotunheim to kick off our review of MS IGLOO! Today's episode is all about the first entry in the series: The Hidden One Year War. In a world where capital ships can turn on a dime and Degwin gives pep talks, Char decides to get dramatic. The tic-tac popping pilot of the Hildolfr is the guy she told the Guntank not to worry about. And when Zeon's Odessa escape plan goes awry (was there actually a plan?), a phantom suit saves the day despite its pilot getting the crazy eyes and Bureaucrat McMonocle withholding information.
Show Notes This week, we review and analyze Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (機動戦士ガンダムΖΖ) episode 35 - “Falling Sky” (落ちてきた空), discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary on the use of Ireland as a setting in Gundam with special-guest Sarah McCostumes! - Sarah's Twitter account, and the Twitter for the podcast they're a part of, "Wow!! Cool Robot!!!" - Sarah's YouTube video, "What Mobile Suit Gundam Can Teach Us About Fashion Theory." - Articles about the role of women in the Troubles (which Sarah discusses in relation to Miharu in First Gundam). - The book Sarah quoted was: Mulholland, Marc. Northern Ireland: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2020. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

We discuss the recent bombshell news that Legendary is bringing the live-action Gundam film to Netflix! This has our minds racing: Are all anime to live-action adaptations doomed? Is the director a Gundam fan? Is it even possible to fit the One Year War into a two hour film? Will there be a montage? Will being made for Netflix impact the budget? Should a Gundam film be set in our timeline? Brian K Vaughn and John Vogt Roberts - you have our heat hawks, do us proud.

We interrupt our ongoing coverage of the One Year War to bring you this breaking story!
Our eyes have been opened to the horrors of The One Year War and it did not disappoint! Amidst winter storms, busy lives, and busted pipes, Dylan and I found some time to get together and tackle the three Gundam compilation films.We have finally continued Char's story, but a bunch of side characters ended up hogging all the spotlight.Our Links:Ian Wolffe
We conclude our discussion on capital ships of the One Year War. In this episode, we uncover Degwin's unwritten rule of naming your Gwazine class, solve the long-standing mystery of why Zeon let Gato ignore hairstyle regulations, and decide which Pegasus class warship looks the best. Oh, and the Papua and the Pazock are here too!
The Pegasus III charges in to attack the New Desides on Penta. Captain Cray and Fast Side board the Zodiac in response.

We discuss the capital ships of the One Year War! In part one, the Musai is iconic, the Dolos is Gihren's arrogance left unchecked, and the Chivvay is too thicc for the Federation to handle.
Not-E3 2020 continued this weekend with Ubisoft Forward, where the company showed off Watch Dogs Legion, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and announced (well, sort of, after many leaks) Far Cry 6. And it came under a cloud of terrible press for the French-Canadian gaming behemoth, as months' worth of sexual harassment and toxic work environment allegations have resulted in one of the most dramatic corporate shake-ups in the history of video games. We talk about all of that and more before our latest Weekly Suit Gundam topic, reviewing Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Released in six installments in 1989, War in the Pocket marked the first time creator Yoshiyuki Tomino wasn't involved in a Gundam production, and is widely regarded as one of the franchise's finest hours, expanding and deepening the series' themes and perspective by focusing in on the small-scale story of a boy growing up amidst the backdrop of the One-Year War. It is one of the greatest and most powerful anti-war stories ever told, on similar footing as Isao Takahata's 1988 Grave of the Fireflies, and began a rich tradition of Gundam taking some of its best artistic leaps on home video.Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:02:30 Stuff: 0:02:30 – 0:30:36Ubisoft News: 0:30:36 – 1:33:27Gundam 0080 – War in the Pocket: 1:33:27 – 3:26:20 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in iTunes!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!The Weekly Stuff with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman is a weekly audio podcast, and if you subscribe in iTunes, episodes will be delivered automatically and for free as soon as they are released.

Topic: Gundam Franchise Tutorial So no more Star Wars, okay a little, but we promise to be Brief. Thanks to a generous Christmas present from a younger brother, we have our Next topic for this week and the next. We’re talking about one of the most popular franchise of giant robots series, We’re talking about GUNDAM. Tutorial To understand Gundam, you must know about the history of Giant/Super Robo/Robot series and Real Robot Series• Giant/Super Robo/Robot series have their giant robots in a more fantastical element, where the physics and logic are not explained and are not treated with in realistic or believable sense. It’s the argument, “Magic Happens.” Star Wars as an example.• Real Robot series, as originated by Gundam, attempts to explain/rationalize their physics and universe. Aside from a leap in technology or finding some kind of new element or power source, the series is treated as though it could happen. Star Trek as an example. Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Also known as (Gundam 0079) During the Universal Century, Human have created colonies in space, but there is unease as spacenoids feel that the Earth Federation won’t allow equal representation, thus Spacenoid rally around the Principality of Zeon and declare their freedom from Earth Federation, starting the “One Year War”. Zeon has mobile suits, which are a ‘HUGE’ tactical advantage. Earth Federation Create the White Base and goes to pick up the new RX-78 Gundam, but Zeon is in tow and attacks the colony, killing most civilians and Federation crew. Amuro Ray becomes pilot for Gundam and the White Base launches out to defend against Zeon on their way home to Earth. Gundam = White Devil V-fin helmet Samurai look/motif Recurring themes Start in space, head to Earth, return to space to end Space Mobile Suits = 1 eye/ mono eye Earth/Federation Mobile Suits = glass visor for eyes Major Base to launch From, usually white in color Char Aznable – Villain, recurring theme of villain in Mask Initially not popular, canceled at 39 of 45 episodes. Rebroadcast as trilogy of movies in 1983 Gundam Primarily takes place in one of two different modes: Universal Century or Spin Offs. Universal Century is a primary Gundam timeline.The actions in Universal Century Show often impact later series and reference previous events in other Universal Century ShowsLong Standing War between Earth Federation and Zeon/Neo-Zeon affiliated groups Spin offs:Universal Century Zeta (1985) ZZ (1986) 0083(1991)Victory (1993) 08 MS Team (1996) Unicorn (2010) Thunderbolt (2015) The Origin (2015) Spinoffs are series that have the Gundam Name, but don’t take place in the Universal Century.These are series which pay homage to the Universal Century, but change elements, locations, time frames, and even local logics.Spinoffs allow for more unique themes and ideas, while still playing with the Gundam lineage.

Our first ‘season' of Weekly Suit Gundam comes to a close with a big, fun, celebratory ‘wrap-up' episode. For our main topic, we discuss the series of theatrical films, released between 1981 and 1982, that compiled and reworked the original Mobile Suit Gundam into a surprisingly effective film trilogy that saved the series from its initial lack of popularity and helped launch the franchise into the stratosphere. That's a great discussion in and of itself, but it's not all! We also briefly review all the other One-Year War series – Gundam: The Origin, War in the Pocket, The 08th MS Team, and Thunderbolt – talk about some Gundam manga and books, and count down the Top 10 Best Mobile Suits, Best Character Names, and Greatest Episodes of the original series. It's a fun, jam-packed episode saluting one of the best anime series of all time, and a fitting celebration for Gundam's 40th anniversary. Enjoy, and stick around to the end, because while this may be the end of what we planned to do with Weekly Suit Gundam, it's certainly not the last you've heard of our Gundam talks.

Topic: Mecha Anime This week, Mom is out on Vacation, traveling the world as usual. So we Invited my Little Brother to join us. When asked what he wanted to learn about, Mecha Anime was what he said. So here we go. A primer on Mecha Anime! Tutorial: Mecha Anime: Any anime/manga/media where robots exist within a show, and are important to the story being told. Robot = Mech/Mecha Two Major Sub-Categories: Super/Giant Robo/Robot Real Robot History: 70s – Rise of Super/Giant Robot Series Mecha shows easier to handle because you don’t need to draw faces. Easier to produce in 70s. Shows largely not about war/conflicts between humans. Mazinger Z (1972) Dr Hell and Dr. Kabuto find ancient robots buried underground. Hell decides to use the robots to control the world, while Dr. Kabuto escapes and builds Mazinger Z before being killed by “half Man, Half woman” Baron Ashura.

It's Romeo and Juliet, but with giant robots in the jungle! During the One Year War, the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon are fighting a brutal guerrilla war for control of the area and its resources. Zeon’s best hope for victory in the region rests with an experimental mobile armor, the Apsalus and its pilot, Aina Sahalin. Meanwhile the Earth Federal Army, which has been fighting the Zeon in the region, receive reinforcements in the form of Shiro Amada, newly named commander of the 08th Mobile Suit Team. Aina and Shiro have met each other from a mutual rescue in space, but when Shiro discovers that Aina is in fact the pilot of the Zeon mobile armor he is arrested for treason.

This class covers questions submitted by our students: 1. When and where did the Spare Parts Gundams in 08th MS Team come from? 2. Are the ZERO system / newtype abilities ever explained? 3. Why did Ramba Ral help the Zabi family? 4. Could Zeon have won the One Year War? 5. What's a good Gundam series to start with? And exactly one other question!
This class covers two ace pilots from the One Year War: The Federation's Amuro Rey and Zeon's Char Aznable. Their rivalry and experiences both before and during the One Year War would shape many of their later decisions, and greatly influenced the Universal Century. This course covers material from Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam The Origin and Char's Deleted Affair.
This extra credit class covers the research done on Newtypes and newtype based technology during and immediately after the One Year War, and presents both Zeon and Federation findings. This class covers content from Mobile Suit Gundam, Blue Destiny, Zeta Gundam and ZZ Gundam.
With the Zeon military on the defensive, the Federation launches its attacks on the last Zeon strongholds. Solomon and A Baoa Qu would see some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and would be the decisive battles of the One Year War. These battles would help to lay the foundation for the years following the One Year War, and serve as a precursor is more great tragedies in the Universal Century.
This extra credit class covers the flight of Zeon forces under Maharaja Karn to the mining asteroid of Axis in the wake of the One Year War. It also discusses the build up of Zeon forces there under Maharaja and his daughter Haman Karn.
This extra credit course will cover the history of the Zaku and Zaku II, as well as their use and development during the One Year War. This class is not required to complete Mobile Suit Gundam.
This course covers the actions of the Delaz Fleet, a Zeon remnant group, in the years immediately after the One Year War. In particular, it focuses on Operation Stardust, a plan to strike back at the Earth Federation by dropping a colony on Earth.
Today, it's time for Cocoa☆Disaster to tackle an entry in one of anime's most enduring franchises! Chorps and his friend Sid (@BeamSplashX on Twitter) meet up to talk about 1989's Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, a six episode OVA series and the first Gundam series to not be helmed by franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. 0080 really digs into the anti-war themes of Gundam through the lens of civilians and a conflict that's smaller and more relatable than the One Year War. We discuss not only the shows and its themes, but the way it affected Gundam as a whole and the way it relates to series that came after it. So what does this first Gundam side story look like, and what does it do differently? Why are the robot fights so unsatisfying? Just how many war crimes did Al commit without knowing? All this and more, coming at you!

November of the One Year War, the war was turned against Zeon. Despite the growing strength of the Federation, they believe there is still a chance of grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat. Join our class today for our discussion of the Apsalus Project and Operation Rubicon.
With Zeon's mobile suits, they easily defeated the Earth Federation military in the early days of the One Year War. With victory for Zeon seeming inevitable, the Earth Federation drafted a plan to rebuild their military and produce mobile suits of their own. This plan would be known as Operation V.
In a declaration of independence, the Republic of Zeon renamed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a surprise attack on the Earth Federation. Massacres and pitched battles lay ahead, as the prelude to one of the bloodiest times in the Universal Century.
This is the start of the class's section on Mobile Suit Gundam. It focuses on the creation of the series Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as the earliest time in the Universal Century. It will give an understanding of the events that would comprise the early colonization of space, as well as some of the underlying motives for the One Year War.
The Dorc Cast celebrates 1 year of anniversary of the podcast! How you ask? By continuing to talk about the nerdy things we love. Into the badlands, ash vs the evil dead and jessica jones have most of us either waiting for the next episode or deciding if it's too late to watch another. Yo-kai watch has us grabbing our 3ds's again and fire emblem fates has us counting the days till it's release in february. Then Professor Falconer? regaled us with a tale of his last moments of employment at KB toys.
