Mech Ado About Nothing

Everyone is either falling in love or having their heart broken in these episodes of Gundam 00. Ian goes on a rant about the San Remo Conference, a secret cyborg illuminati with really dumb names shows up, and Ali al-Saachez still refuses to die. All in all, pretty normal Gundam stuff.

This week it's the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2! We do a split episode to cover all this content. Alejandro Corner is the world's least menacing villain, Graham Aker is criminally underutilized, and Gundam 00 Season 2 is just bad Zeta fanfiction.

This week we discover Gundam 00's serious villain problem: they're all too evil! The Thrones ruin Louise's life and Ali al-Saachez ruins Saji's. No one is happy in these episodes, and they only make it worse by having mobile suits they can use to vent their frustration. Why doesn't Celestial Being keep a therapist on payroll?

The podcast turns a year old this week! We look back on all the shows we've watched, draw some conclusions about mecha as a whole (having now become masters of the genre), and talk about what will be coming in the future. We also talk the new Gunpla gacha game and our favorite ever mechs.

Everyone's favorite 2000s mech anime is here as we discuss our Gundam origin stories, Gundam 00s absolute pile of characters, and the fine line between good and bad edge. There's even a real, bonafide Mech Corner as we rank the first four Gundams of Celestial Being.

It's the sequel to Megazone 23, Megazone 23! This movie looks absolutely completely and totally different from its predecessor but the storytelling is just as bewildering. Half the film is motorcycle chases and the other half is people rocking out to jerry-rigged stereo systems so it isn't all bad. Also there are ostensibly mechs in this movie.

We watch the first episode / film / OVA of Megazone 23 and are completely lost. A whole bunch of things happen, not the least of which is the world's must uncomfortable sex scene, and also a girl gets shot in the head. We try to unpack the high-speed motorcycle crash that is Megazone 23.

At last, the end is here! We go blow-by-blow through the Evangelion's concluding film to try to both make sense of it and see if it comes out on top over the television series. We talk uncomfortable sexual imagery, gibberish religious imagery, and effective horror imagery. It's a mess, but it's a fun kind of mess.

Twenty-six episodes of Evangelion have come and gone and we're none the wiser for it. We talk about moms, gays, and the abolition of the sense of self in this weeks episode. We also try to decide if Evangelion's infamously inscrutable ending is actually a little bit on the nose.

Evangelion stops being funny and starts being depressed. Shinji has no self esteem, his mecha is an out of control killing machine with a taste for nuclear engines, and even the conspiracies have conspiracies this week on Eva. At least Shinji stops being made out of goop by the end of it.
