Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/10/27

We discuss the Gundam Online Expo 2021 - exclusive merch, streaming content, Gunpla competitions, and more! Tomino speaks about space colonization, Hathaway, and his health. The Hathaway sequel gets a bright name. Zeta Gundam arrives on streaming for the first time. Plus, we yearn for a VR Gundam video game, Adam Savage builds the Perfect Grade RX-78-2 Unleashed, and we do terrible Jim Ross impressions!

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/10/13

We discuss the recent announcements of The Witch from Mercury, Cucuruz Doan's Island, and IBO Urðr Hunt. Will Sunrise give us a female main character? Did anyone see Doan's Island coming? Will playing as Rustal Elion in Urðr Hunt be tap to win? Plus, Isaac makes an acronym out of MERCURY and calls the IBO engineers to find those responsible for putting the Gundam Hajiroboshi in heels.

0064: Crossbone Gundam Review Part III

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/10/04

In this TRIPLE-sized episode, we conclude our recap and review of Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam! The series climaxes in an epic fashion as Tobia plunders Bernadette, we say farewell to the Mother Vanguard and hello to the Flints, Zabine's rage-o-meter hits critical mass during his duel with Kincade, Dogatie reveals himself to be a jerk with too many nukes, Bernadette was wrong all along, SNRI looks more like Anaheim every day, Admiral Trustworthington somehow screws up worse than Admiral Earl Grey

0063: Top 5 Female Pilots

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/09/15

The women of Gundam get the spotlight today as we countdown our top five female pilots! Isaac chooses his best while Brian chooses his favorites. Although the selection is a bit sparse, we find more than enough ethereal newtypes, incognito royalty, nineties bad girls, ruthless leaders, students, turncoats, and vengeful soldiers to fill out our lists. Isaac turns out to be shockingly objective, while Brian fails at speaking French (sorry Asuna!) and demonstrates that he clearly hates Christina

0062: Crossbone Gundam Review Part II

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/09/03

We resume our Crossbone voyage right where we left off - with the Mother Vanguard rammed inside Crux Dogatie's palace! But the tables quickly turn on Kincade as Crux pulls a Voldemort (or did Voldemort pull a Crux?!), Zabine leads a totally unexpected mutiny with 2x4s, and Karas borrows a grappler ship from Outlaw Star. Things go from bad to worse as we meet the sinister Death Gale Squadron and Berah's diabolical yet pint-sized cousin Sherry. As Kincade prepares to take on Zabine, Death Gale, and

0061: Mail Call #3: Hathaway, Aliens, Doms, and More!

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/08/23

Our mailbag runneth over once more, so we're answering as many of your comments as we can on this episode! Is that Quess Paraya we hear on the Haunzen? Did Hathaway help Anaheim design and test the Xi Gundam on Luna? Are fake aliens the best aliens Gundam could have? If Gundam did have aliens, should we send in Ripley? Plus, it turns out Nina is right about everything, Tom Cruise pilots the transforming "Robot Gandum," and Isaac brings you some hot Gustav Karl x Dom Tropen action!

0060: Crossbone Gundam Review Part I

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/08/12

Our UC NexT 0100 journey continues as we tackle the first two volumes of the fan favorite manga series from 1994 known as Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam! We board the reformed Crossbone Vanguard’s flagship alongside our old pals Berah Ronah and Kincade Nau (he’s Seabook but cooler), and our new pal Tobia Arronax, and set sail for the Jovian moon Io – the headquarters of Crux Dogatie and his evil Jupiter Empire! Dogatie’s forces have an aquarium, Sharkticons, Xenomorphs, and a flying lava

0059: How Should the Universal Century End?

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/08/03

How should the Universal Century end? The question is simple but the answers are monumentally complicated. In our most depressing episode yet, we journey through the Dark History seeking the answers. We float an exodus from Earth to Mars, attempt to answer the Fermi Paradox with Gundams, and consider the entropic consequences of constant war. There is also discussion about clams, fires, and World War 3. Welcome to the apocalypse.

0058: Gundam 0083: The Afterglow of Zeon Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/07/26

We tackle Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: The Afterglow of Zeon - a compilation film covering Isaac's beloved OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. As this film with three names progresses at a lightning fast pace, we touch on all the hard-hitting questions as usual. Does Cima have her own harem or does her ship just have HVAC problems? Is Kou "I'd never wreck it" Uraki bad at math because he didn't get into Luna University's women only STEM program? Can Bask Om really see out of those

0057: Let’s Talk About Aliens

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/07/19

With public interest in UFOs resurging, we think it's only a matter of time before aliens show up again in a Gundam universe. We discuss alien appearances in Gundam so far, with an emphasis on MSG 00 The Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer. Brian wasn't buying what Areola Shoenwhatever was selling, and Isaac found the spindly ELSes totally boring. If aliens were to show up again, what does the project need to be not only a successful story, but a good Gundam story? Do you even want aliens in

0056: Gundam Hathaway Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/07/08

The day has finally come - Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway has arrived in the USA! We dive in to see if the film lived up to the hype that's been building since 1989. Hathaway becomes Mafty despite a bone-chilling warning from an old friend. Gigi Andalucia really is the sharpest tool in the shed even if she is down for the Count. Kenneth is vain and without shame, but he knows the way to a girl's heart is through EFF standard issue hot cocoa. Just how many boats can Hathaway take in one day? Are

0055: Gundam Comedies

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/06/25

Why are Gundam comedies so scarce? Do fans even want a Gundam comedy series? If Sunrise put you in charge of a Gundam comedy, what would your pitch be? We think the Gundam universes are ready for a full blown comedy series and present our ideas: Anaheim Crime Time, Gundam Battle Feast, and Propaganda 0079. We also philosophize about barbecue.

0054: MS IGLOO 2: The Gravity Front Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/06/18

We travel with the Earth Federation forces to The Gravity Front where our MS IGLOO journey reaches its conclusion. As if Barberry's job in the anti-mobile suit tactical squad wasn't already the worst, an angel of Death straight out of Final Fantasy XLII shows up to collect his soul. Type 61 savant Yandell gets his revenge on Zeon's White Ogre with math, but not even the man with a plan can escape Death (or RPGs). Arleen and her squadron of headless Guntanks of the apocalypse destroy everything in

0053: Gundam SEED Project Ignited

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/06/08

Gundam SEED Project Ignited promises a new anime film, video game, and manga series all set in the Cosmic Era! Isaac wants more Blue Cosmos but foresees pink METEORs, Brian wants Batman and space whales, and Yzak sees red and goes full Zala. Tekkaman Blade and the Xi Gundam had a baby and named it the Eclipse Gundam... and it looks fantastic. Then we accidentally rant about SEED Destiny's Doms. For the preservation of our blue and pure world!

0052: MS IGLOO: Apocalypse 0079 Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/06/01

We continue our review of MS IGLOO with the second entry in the series: Apocalypse 0079! Despite Zeon's mounting losses, Lt. Oliver May and the Jotunheim crew test an anti-ship "mobile diver" that's just as crazy as it sounds, a mobile pod capable of going toe-to-toe with the Federation Balls, and a mobile armor with a whole lot of junk in the trunk Plus, Isaac earns a medal for his research into Dom thiccness and contracts sudden onset depression when Brian reveals Herbert Von Kuspen's fate.

0051: The UC NexT 0100 Project: Hathaway Delayed,...

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/05/24

Bad news: Hathaway has been delayed again (Isaac already has a call in to the Emperor). Good news: Gundam producer Naohiro Ogata dropped some low-key bombshells about what's next for the UC NexT 0100 Project! More Unicorn appears likely and with it Zeon's dissolution. We doubt Mineva makes it out alive when the Cuffs attack Banagher's upgraded Gundam Pegacorn (can you visualize all the Gunpla??). What's your prediction? And finally, the road to F91 is acknowledged... does this mean F90 in

0050: MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War Review

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/05/17

We join Oliver May's weapon testing team on the Jotunheim to kick off our review of MS IGLOO! Today's episode is all about the first entry in the series: The Hidden One Year War. In a world where capital ships can turn on a dime and Degwin gives pep talks, Char decides to get dramatic. The tic-tac popping pilot of the Hildolfr is the guy she told the Guntank not to worry about. And when Zeon's Odessa escape plan goes awry (was there actually a plan?), a phantom suit saves the day despite its

0049: Series Pitch: Chrono Gundam

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/05/10

Isaac pitches his idea for a time traveling Gundam series! An accident during a Federation testing exercise in 0080 sends the Chrono Gundam and its crew through alternate Universal Century timelines as they struggle to get home. Among all the enemies they will encounter - Amuro the Titan, Gihren Zabi the cursed, Cecily the victor, and Angel Halo the end of all things - could their greatest foe be... themselves?

The battle of Jachin Due rages on as we conclude our review of the fan favorite series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Rau plays Proto Man to Kira's Mega Man as their secret histories are revealed! Ramius and Natarle FIRE at each other, resulting in the series' climactic triple bounce. Azrael may be a maniac... but he's right about GENESIS? Plus, ZAFT hates elephants, a nameless personal assistant saves the world, Yzak is still a jerk, and they keep trying to make Kira x Flay happen. For the

0047: Gundam Live-Action Film Heads to Netflix

Colony Drop: A Gundam Podcast ·

2021/04/24

We discuss the recent bombshell news that Legendary is bringing the live-action Gundam film to Netflix! This has our minds racing: Are all anime to live-action adaptations doomed? Is the director a Gundam fan? Is it even possible to fit the One Year War into a two hour film? Will there be a montage? Will being made for Netflix impact the budget? Should a Gundam film be set in our timeline? Brian K Vaughn and John Vogt Roberts - you have our heat hawks, do us proud.
