• 0147: Trapped in a Gundam Video Game

  Having protagonists get trapped in video games has been a popular anime premise in recent years.  What would getting trapped in a Gundam video game look like?  Isaac takes us into the world of Kenji Everybody who is trapped in a Gundamized Final Fantasy via a mishap with a bottle of Ramune that leads to a jaunt across timelines with Gaia Gear technology and battles with AI.  Brian takes a completely different path with Gundam Survivor which is essentially a One Year War trauma simulator that's equal parts MK Ultra, Battle Royale, and Hatchet.  What kind of Gundam video game would you like to get trapped in (or trap someone in)?

• 0146: Boom in the Pocket

  In 1989's MSG 0080: War in the Pocket, Zeon's Lt. Col Killing orders Col. Von Hellsing to nuke the Side 6 colony known as Libot after the Cyclops team failed to destroy the Federation's new prototype Gundam via conventional means.  As luck would have it, the Federation captured Von Hellsing's ship before the nukes could launch and spared Libot from annihilation.  In this episode, we discuss what might have happened if Killing's plan to nuke Libot was successful.  Brian sees this as an early version of Operation Stardust that inadvertently gives rise to a much earlier showdown between the Titans and Axis Zeon in the asteroid belt.  Isaac sees an occupied Zeon with its people forced to choose a side, with factions like the Crossbone Vanguard, the Zanscare Empire, and the Jupiter Empire rising earlier.  Plus, we wonder if AI and nanotech should qualify as WMDs; find out what happened to Lt. Col Killing; and argue about asteroid lasers and hot lava missiles!  Welcome to Alfred's Nightmare!

• 0145: The Gundam Credit Card

  Would you sign up for a Gundam co-branded credit card?  We sure would!  We discuss all the perks and discounts that such a program should have, including the cards that already exist in Japan and Hong Kong!  Isaac envisions a travel sweepstakes and an ace pilot leaderboard, while Brian demands Bandai complete the Gundam spending synergy circle.  Plus, we discuss Kou Uraki's 0083% debt problems, the Nutcracker Squad out to get those who possess the SEED factor, and the Tomino-san credit rating agency.  Gundam Visa with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank: https://www.smbc-card.com/nyukai/affiliate/gundam/index_lp.jsp Gundam Visa with Dah Sing Bank: https://www.dahsing.com/html/en/credit_card/card_products/program/gundam_card.html
