Alex, Sami, and Maxy return for a second dose of Mobile Suit Gundam analysis, if by analysis you mean ‘being unreasonably horny about Garma and Char’s intense sexual energy’, recapping episodes 4-6 of the original series! Also featuring: ambooshing, a retrospective on toy manufacturer Clover, and our favourite robot shows that AREN’T Gundam!
