MSB is a weekly Gundam podcast for new fans, old fans, and not yet fans. Nina (a Gundam first-timer) and Thom (a lifelong Gundam fan) analyze, review, and research all 40-years of the iconic sci-fi anime mega-franchise Mobile Suit Gundam in the order it was made. We research its influences, examine its themes, and discuss how each piece of the Gundam canon fits within the changing context in Japan and the world, from 1979 to today. Part history podcast, part discussion podcast, all Gundam podcast.
This week we answer most of the outstanding listener questions, ranging from Haro to Hilda Bidan, missed opportunities, Family Guy, Tomino's improvisational writing style, and more! Please listen to it!

And if everything isn't enough for you, then just wait for next week when we'll be back with even more. Please listen to it!
This week on MSB: Victory Gundam episode 51. After a wild road-to-air-to-space trip that took us from Kasarelia all the way to Kasarelia, we've reached the final stop and we're ready to type up our TripAdvisor reviews. Opinions on Victory's ending seem to vary quite a big, and ours certainly did! Please listen to it!
As usual, this week we're focusing on the final episode itself and reserving our judgment of th...

This week: Victory Episode 49! Nothing says Epic Space War like bikinis! Plus we ask the important questions, like is Haro a misogynist? What does Katejina keep in the trunk of her mobile suit?

Victory Gundam ep. 43
This week on MSB: Victory Gundam episode 43. We meet a new BESPA character who will surely be around for a long time, talk about comets and their characteristics, wonder whether Fuala Griffon is a Char or some other legacy character back for revenge, and find that our opinions of Uso's after school special dilemma diverge pretty widely. The research this week returns to Yugoslavia for Part ...
This week on MSB we're talking about the Victory Gundam episode with a truly goth title: #42 'A Shining Vortex of Fresh Blood.' We discuss Sigmund Freud, weird facts, name and design references, the sour end to Lupe Cineau's improbably long career, what not having kids does to a woman (and how to fix it according to Dr. Uso), and a whole lot about the Zanneck's origins. Plus, Nina and Thom both reach their limit...

We cover comrades and commanders, Uso's ten dads, Shahkti's burgeoning feelings, the price of pink paint, Karlmann's contribution to the family, the secret nobility of Jinn Jahannam, Zanscarist Dualism, and a conspiracy theory that will turn the whole Universal Century on its head. Please listen to it!

This week on MSB: Uso and the League Militaire crew discover that to BESPA 'ceasefire' means the opposite of what you'd think, as the soldiers of Largaine Base resolve to use up all their ammunition, and every Zolo they've got, in one last desperate attack on the White Ark. Uso deploys a pro-gamer strat using the V2's nigh-miraculous Wings of Light, fish rain from the sky, and friend of the podcast Sarah McCostu...
