Listen "0139: New Gundam Settings"
Episode Synopsis
Stop us if you've heard this Gundam setting before: In the near future, humans have largely fled a ravaged Earth in favor of giant space colonies where they war amongst themselves using giant robots called mobile suits. We've been there and done that several times over - in fact we are doing it right now in GQuuuuuux! So let's think of something new: What are some fresh new settings that future Gundam series might explore instead? We discuss a wide range of ideas including the asteroid belt, black holes, Saturn, and Proxima Centauri, among others. Plus, we eulogize Stargate Universe, Isaac demands justice for Pluto, we discuss all the steampunk genres (who knew solarpunk is a thing?), and Isaac unleashes his inner armchair astrophysicist on black holes and entropy. Where would you set the next Gundam series?
