🕑 Added 2020-06-01 04:00:00 +0000 UTCWe return to the Gundam franchise this week, and we're joined by Gundam expert/USG Editor-In-Chief/our good friend Kat Bailey! 20 years ago this year Gundam Wing premiered on Cartoon Network and had a huge impact on US anime fans, but how did this variation on the Gundam franchise happen? How did it get broadcast on TV? And what's its legacy? We discuss all that and the first episode in this gundanium-enriched podcast!

I was OBSESSED with Gundam Wing in my teens. I first saw it on Toonami and I loved it. I tried to rewatch it recently and it flaws felt a bit more glaring, but it's still a fun nostalgia trip that has continues to have its moments.
I really loved this episode! Thanks! I'm a big Gundam fan, and I really do enjoy Wing. Bob's comentary on Zechs was quite funny - and, I've since watched episodes 2 & 3. More of that time with Zechs quality to it. The first episode is so utterly confusing, though. Still great fun!
