We continue our review of MS IGLOO with the second entry in the series: Apocalypse 0079!  Despite Zeon's mounting losses, Lt. Oliver May and the Jotunheim crew test an anti-ship "mobile diver" that's just as crazy as it sounds, a mobile pod capable of going toe-to-toe with the Federation Balls, and a mobile armor with a whole lot of junk in the trunk  Plus, Isaac earns a medal for his research into Dom thiccness and contracts sudden onset depression when Brian reveals Herbert Von Kuspen's fate.  And.. Aguille Delaz, is that you fleeing from A Baoa Qu? 

Bad news: Hathaway has been delayed again (Isaac already has a call in to the Emperor).  Good news: Gundam producer Naohiro Ogata dropped some low-key bombshells about what's next for the UC NexT 0100 Project!  More Unicorn appears likely and with it Zeon's dissolution.  We doubt Mineva makes it out alive when the Cuffs attack Banagher's upgraded Gundam Pegacorn (can you visualize all the Gunpla??).  What's your prediction?  And finally, the road to F91 is acknowledged... does this mean F90 in animation someday?  The future is bright, Universal Century fans!

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. 

Isaac pitches his idea for a time traveling Gundam series!  An accident during a Federation testing exercise in 0080 sends the Chrono Gundam and its crew through alternate Universal Century timelines as they struggle to get home.  Among all the enemies they will encounter - Amuro the Titan, Gihren Zabi the cursed, Cecily the victor, and Angel Halo the end of all things - could their greatest foe be... themselves? 

The battle of Jachin Due rages on as we conclude our review of the fan favorite series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.  Rau plays Proto Man to Kira's Mega Man as their secret histories are revealed!  Ramius and Natarle FIRE at each other, resulting in the  series' climactic triple bounce.  Azrael may be a maniac... but he's right about GENESIS?  Plus, ZAFT hates elephants, a nameless personal assistant saves the world, Yzak is still a jerk, and they keep trying to make Kira x Flay happen.  For the preservation of our blue and pure world!

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 launch toward Jachin Due to begin the back half of our Gundam SEED review!  Isaac opens his Blue Cosmos HQ to answer all of Brian's questions.  Does SEED have an acronym problem?  Are coordinators really all that great or were naturals just using Windows 95?  Is Patrick Zala a vengeful chef?  Would you eat Junius 7 rock candy?  Is Lakoose more like Cardi B or Billie Eilish?  Plus, Mwu finally docks with Ramius, Lord Izumi is an idiot, and Rau channels his inner Char with Flay.  Launch the Dominion!  For the preservation of our blue and pure world!

We count down our top five favorite ending songs across all the Gundam universes!  Saxes are underrated (or are they?), G Gundam gets through on a technicality, and both of our top choices turn out to be stunners.  Plus, Isaac creates his own ending theme - The Dom Song!  Let's sing all together now, Amuro Furimukanaide~~~

A new live-action Gundam series appears out of nowhere... it's Gundam Build Real!  Plus, Isaac's archenemy returns in the newest MSG Hathaway trailer (also featuring Xi vs. Penelope action)!  And look at all this cool new(ish?) merchandise - a replica of Char's helmet, the Zeon grunts finally get their articulated due, and the leader of the New Desides takes his rebellion to the Master Grade scale!

We conclude our review of the first half of Gundam SEED by discussing the characters, the mecha, and whether the show holds up compared to our memories.  Kira is Jesus, Mwu is chill, Flay has no chill, Rau has a magic map, Athrun is a bad boyfriend, and deep down Yzak is just mad he got the boring Gundam.  In a surprise twist, Isaac allies not with Zeon ZAFT but with the Earth Alliance in order to preserve our blue and pure world!  Better send some GOOhNs to correct his attitude!
