Phase 46: Clipshow Hell Part III WOW!

WOW! It's Gundam SEED Destiny! A clipshow even. WOW! Remember how this show used to have druggies? Wow, been a while since I thought about them! We get to hear everything that's already happened from Meer Campbell's perspective! You know that's going to be important going forward, because she died last week! Err, spoilers. Wow!

Phase 44: Coordinator Death Cake

This week, Djibril is doing the cooking by the book, as he tries to kill all the coordinators. Is Meer on the moon? Why is Meer on the moon? How many giant lasers did Djibril build? Why are Durundal and Djibril connected by the force? And what does Cagalli mean when she tells a 15 year old girl that she's entrusting her boyfriend to her? All these questions are asked this episode, and we may have even managed to answer one!

Phase 43: I'm So Sorry Meer

There are two Lacuses (Lacopiti) this week, and some how we don't make one joke about Slim Shady! Nor does Geremy make any of the many sex jokes he thought about while editing the episode that he couldn't think of during the episode. What jokes does he make instead? You'll have to listen to find out! Also, a little birdy told me maybe Djibril will have a huge laser, so it might be worth it to listen for that, and a front runner for one of the most disappointing moments in the series too! You don't want to miss that!

Phase 42: Athrun Used Takedown

It's A Gundam is finally back to talk about Phase 42 of Gundam SEED Destiny, A Call For Counterattack. Athrun is back in action, with his new moveset of Protect, Takedown, Slash and Self Destruct. Good thing that, unlike Shinn, he doesn't have to fight any ghost types this week! Can Athrun's limited moveset take Shinn down? And if not, can he convince an emotionally unstable teenager he's being a dick?

Phase 13: A God Damn Science Lab

Are you ready for Phase 13? Everyone's favorite Jesus is back, and its finally confirmed that he actually has at least some sort or relationship with everyone's favorite pop idol (sorry Meer). Not only that, this episode has a megaman arm and a robot body slamming another robot with crab claws! What's not to love?

Phase 12: The Little Stupid Arms on The Underside Got Claws

It's episode 12 of Gundam SEED Destiny, introducing the new breakout character, the Zam Zah Zah! Guess which host loves this stupid thing more than life itself! Guess which host named Zach hates the Impulses newly introduced gimmick! Or just give it a listen and find out for yourself.

Phase 06: The Dark Side of the Jellyfish

It's Episode 6 of our Gundam SEED Destiny recap! Kevin joins us for The End of the World (because this was the week we recorded the Jump Start on Sweet Rein, which was a wild ride), while Athrun joins Dearka and Yzac for the high school reunion none of them wanted.

Phase 13: Beard of Mutiny Prevention

Suddenly, 2-3 ZAFT ships show up and wreck stuff! In this week’s episode, some real times happen, and some people die. It’s intense and generally just great stuff. There’s also some teenage drama llama-ing, nice interplay within the varying factions, and some sweet atmospheric reentry (or just entry[?] in the case of the Archangel?).

Phase 12: Shady Employment Practices

One thing this show is good at is making politics interesting. Even SEED's remarkable prowess fails, however, when all it has to work with is bureaucracy. It even did this to itself! The Archangel is docked, and the Case of the Kidnapped Orb Kids is finally handled. How? By pretending they were conscripted! Convenient! Apparently coerced child soldiering is a problem, but voluntarily doing that is fine. Also, Flay is joining the space arm? I wonder if she ever does anything useful in that capacity. (Spoilers: No)

Phase 11: A Knee to the Buster

A wild Kevin appears! Go, Athrun! Use Teenage Angst!

In this episode Kira gets court martialed, which goes about as well as you’d expect. Flay picks up additional levels in… Bard? Rogue? Something manipulative, because she starts doing more of that. Natarl gets to seem competent, and Mu gets to seem incompetent, though not necessarily all at the same time. Also, sweet space fights and some of Kira’s trademarked improvisational fighting!

Phase 10: Dang It, Mu La Flaga: The Guy I Hate!

We made it 10 episodes in, and finally, we hit an episode that's all kill no filla.  Instead of talking about a super old movie, Geremy mentions he's watching the now old Iron Blooded Orphans, which he never finished, and how everyone in the cast seems to have taken a level in rogue.  Except Flay who just takes a level in rogue.  Plus, a panty shot, and more arguments about the morality of hostage taking!  Maybe I should have lead with that.  Also, we announce our contest winners!  Don't miss it!

Phase 09: Ignoring Our Mission is What we Do

It's on to episode 9 of It's a Gundam and things are heating up.  We talk about the recently released Star Wars: The Force Awakens, showing just how long ago we actually recorded this podcast, and then ultra pragmatist Zach and anime eyed idealist Geremy argue hostage ethics for 20 minutes.  Who will survive?  Listen to find out!
