Join us as we count down our top five opening songs across all Mobile Suit Gundam timelines!  Our journey includes discussing if the saxophone is dead, SEED(D)'s top notch bounce physics, our charity idea for orphans (iron-blooded, perhaps?), and 1980s space rock.  With our top five on record, we arrive at a critical question that needs your input - who should sing the theme song for the Gundam live action film?

0041: Top Five Gundam Opening Songs

Two friends talking about the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and anything remotely related that makes them laugh. The anime, models, manga, novels, video games - we do it all!

Pull up a chair to hear the tale of how on May 8, 2024, we became two of the most unlucky Gundam fans in the United States trying to watch the new film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom.  In better news, we will be running Gundam trivia at Anime Expo 2024!  Plus, we have a new mascot and need you to help us name her!  Double plus, Sunrise reanimated part of Aura Battler Dunbine?  Are you kidding me?  Attack, attack, attack~~~!
This episode features sound effects from Pixabay here and here.

0118: SEED Freedom Failure, Anime Expo 2024, & Dom Girl

You might have been thinking, "Wow, did Gundam 00 really kill Brian and Isaac?"  The answer is no.  We would never relent to our nemesis!  On this episode, we focus all our newtype potential into finishing the fight against the Innovade menace in Gundam 00 Season 2!  This show raises the stakes in the back half as Ribbons abuses his brain WiFi powers; Graham becomes Mr. Weeaboo; Lyle replaces Neil even though cyborg-Neil is a way better idea; Louise and Saji forget how to use a phone; Sumeragi hooks up with Allelujah (or was it Hallelujah?); and Setsuna evolves into an Innovator because reasons.  Plus, we discuss Gundam the Musical, the prospect of livestreaming nude limbo, and even make a Beerfest reference.

0117: Gundam 00 Review Part 2

Finally, the time has come to face our nemesis.  We embark on an exhausting discussion/review of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 1!  While Celestial Being tries to eradicate war, we find that Sunrise did not learn from Gundam Wing's lessons on boredom; Alejandro is The Man with the Golden Gun; OO beats SEED in volume but not in the physics department; and that spider mobile armors truly are the fiercest killers in the mobile weapon kingdom!  Plus, Isaac prays for nukes and issues a PSA about buying GN Drives from Temu. 
Lock-on!  Lock-on!  Lock-on!

0116: Gundam 00 Review Part 1

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!

0115: Space, To the End of A Flash Review

If Gundam Evolution taught us anything, it's that Sunrise ripped off the wrong game.  But here at Sunset, we are smarter than that.  We know exactly which game Sunrise should rip off next.  Join us as we lay the foundation for what would easily be one of the most fun Gundam games of all time: Gundam Smash Bros.!  We discuss potential characters, stages, items, assist trophies, and more!  Plus, we hit tangents of all kinds including Diddy Kong Racing and Wizpig, IG-88 and R2-D2, and whether the SEED Freedom film might include a Kira Yamatwo.  Extra points for any listeners who can guess our Smash mains before we reveal them!
