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!
