Sometimes, all you need is the right motivation to do something amazing. In Kira’s case, that’s preventing all of his friends from dying painful deaths! Join us in watching a boy become a man, but also a man with some still pretty… well, idealistic ideals. However, he has a giant nuke robot (spoilers!) to help him achieve those goals. Also, the crew of the Archangel parts ways, and Yzak gets a promotion (to his new album, obvo).
Show Notes
(04:00) The answer to “what came before SEED” in the US was either 08th MS team if we’re counting that as a series, or GODDAMNED GUNDAM WING, I GUESS? This was all based on U.S. release dates, though.
(06:45) Correction! Zala was actually only an uncommon name in the UK in the late 90s. Apparently, some Slavic countries boast this as a fairly popular surname, too.
(15:00) Look at that jaunty bastard
(31:00) Natarl doesn’t hand so great
(32:00) All signs point to Alaska.
(40:00) This is the Lacus outfit we mentioned
(48:00) Lacus Clyne, Warmonger. (Note that we couldn’t find the original version, so this is the best we’ve got for now).
(48:30) Another GUNDAM. Great series title.
(50:30) Lacuswave
(52:30) That cool shot of the Freedom’s eye. It’s almost impossible to catch on a casual watch, which makes it slightly more impressive.
(54:30) The Highlander (as depicted in MWO since Zach mentions it on LTOVG a lot)
(55:30) Highs and lows
No points for our game this week. There’s been kind of a drought recently.
