It’s time to climb into your giant robot and battle us about what the hell a Newtype actually is. That’s right, we’re talking about Gundam! We’ve enlisted the help of Gundam experts Thom and Nina from the great Gundam Podcast:  Mobile Suit Breakdown. We discuss the deep history and enduring appeal of the Gundam franchise, just as an exciting new Gundam anime is about to release!! The creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hideaki Anno, has co-written the brand new Gundam series: "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX", which has injected fresh excitement for the long running Gundam franchise. On the eve of its release, we dive deep into how Gundam changed anime and the mecha genre forever and how you can get into it yourself! We also discuss the Gunpla model kit phenomenon and how the toy industry helped to establish the mecha genre as a defining part of anime.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner we thought it would be fun to talk through some anime couples. Some good, some bad, some ridiculous and some just plain toxic. The gang go through all different kinds of anime couples and at the end of the episode play a matching game with random anime character's names picked out of a hat, then discussing how symbiotic they'd be as a potential couple.

Would Faye Valentine and Vegeta work as a couple? Tune in to find out!

The gang get together to talk about how incredible the Dandadan adaptation from Science Saru is.

Sam goes through the history of Science Saru which covers the incredible career of Masaaki Yuasa (Devilman Crybaby, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Ping Pong The Animation & more). Everyone then goes through the unique nature of the source material and the incredible creativity being employed by the animation studio in bringing this story to life.

Why is nobody talking about Bleach? Since it's return with Thousand Year Blood War, Bleach has been one of the best anime series currently airing. Time for us to give it some well deserved attention! This episode we're joined by Luke from another Australian anime podcast called Sleepy Bloc.

There is a lot of great new anime airing right now! We talk through our favourites of the current season, Fall 2024. While Dandadan steals the spotlight, we've found a mature favourite in Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, while Ranma ½ delivers one of the best remakes we've seen in a long time. The much anticipated Uzumaki and Blue Lock series have both seen some disappointing quality drops in their seconds episodes too. What have you been watching this season?
