0137: MSG 00 The Movie -A Wakening of the Trailblazer- Review
In 2010, Sunrise graced the world with the best Gundam film ever made: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A Wakening of the Trailblazer-. After five years of covering Gundam, we finally review this masterpiece to give it the credit it so rightfully deserves. So buckle up and join us aboard the Ptolemaios for the last time as Allelujah fights Waymo; zombie Ribbons takes a WWE chair shot; Setsuna grabs the Metal Cap and joins the Borg; and the T-1000 gets renamed the Extraterrestrial Living Metal Shapshifters. Someone should really check on the Azadistanis...
Happy AFD, listeners!

Go watch the video on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/UELnf30JCoA
We take the podcast on the road and head to Irvine, California to scope out the Gundam Base Mobile Tour! Join us as we take you on a tour of the Gundam Base Mobile’s merch trailer, the giant RX-78-2, and all the accompanying displays! During our visit, Isaac plays I Spy a mono-eye but comes up empty; we meet Tyler – the best employee the Gundam Base could have hired; we find Suletta Mercury suspiciously holding hands on multiple occasions with her definitely platonic best friend Miorine; and much more! Even the ROBOT GANDUM makes an appearance in this episode!

0135: GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- Review
On February 28th, 2025, the latest Gundam film, GQuuuuuux -Beginning-, arrived in theaters across the USA... and you bet we were there to bask in the glow of Gundam on the silver screen! Join us as we discuss our thoughts on the film, including is the GQuacks/GKwucks debate a potato/potahto situation? Is the Red Gundam really a Beetleborg gone rogue? Did the Zeknova open the newtype dimension? Did Degwin retire to hang out with Garma at the opera house? Who or what is the Rose of Sharon? Are the Pomeranians too poor to even be competing in Clan Battle? Plus, everyone must choose a side in the fast approaching robot mascot wars: Haro or Conch!

0134: Bottom Five Gundam Emblems
Last time we covered the best emblems, so now it's only fair we unveil our picks for the worst emblems in the history of Gundam! Once again, no faction, ace pilot, or team squadron is safe from our discerning eyes. Our list ranges from the obscure like OZ's tin man and Shagia Frost's emo horse, to the heavy hitters like AEUG's funny circles and the Earth Federation's Brazilian basketball. What emblems are in your bottom five? Let us know!

0133: Top Five Gundam Emblems
The Gundam franchise has spawned hundreds of emblems over the last ~45 years representing ace pilots, factions, team squadrons, and many other groups. In this episode, we comb through the archives to find our favorite five emblems of all time! From classics like the Principality of Zeon, to modern standouts like the Phantom Sweep Corps, to iconic insignias like Amuro's unicorn "A", to enigmas like the Chimera Corps, or to obscure MSV logos from the 1980s like Col. Cranberry's Dom Cold Climate Type, we leave no emblem behind. Plus, hear Isaac's reaction as he discovers the Titans Test Team bunny emblems for the first time!
Two friends talking about the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and anything remotely related that makes them laugh. The anime, models, manga, novels, video games - we do it all!
