I dunno. I hear the sponsors are talking about pulling out. They're not going to get 50 episodes before getting canned, if things keep going this way.

I wonder how many of those still exist and if they're dirt cheap or are stupidly expensive

A quick ebay search found a bunch of vintage Clover Gundams, Guntanks, and Guncannons. They'll cost you hundreds of dollars, and more in box, but if you want one and are willing to shell out the money, it's not something you'll need to spend years searching for. Even the deluxe combination set complete (but used) in box is under a grand.

So, a decent amount, and stupid expensive.

It's a nice touch that they've got tacos for a main course. Since corn is the only reliable staple crop on Mars, tortillas would be pretty popular.

I also liked Dante's "If I'm going down, I'm taking all of you with me".

It feels like he was mostly there because his VA was available, but he really made the most of his screentime.

Everyone talks about ZZ going from goofy to deadly serious in a heartbeat (I think that’s a tad overblown, it eases into the serious elements more than people indicate), but nobody talks about the tonal whiplash of going from the Dublin trio of episodes into “uh oh, those darn kids done stole the Nahel Argama!”

Mind you, the Tigerbaum arc is largely about the Shangri-La gang realising that they've descended too deep into hell and they can't have those fun, light-hearted adventures any more.

I haven’t gotten too far into this arc yet, only three episodes (they just reunited with the Moon Moon crew), but it felt weird how little weight was given to Ple’s death. Then again, I might be biased because she was my favorite character of the show so far, and ZZ moved on VERY quickly.

Also, Leina surviving felt like an rear end-pull, like Tomino went “uh poo poo maybe we put them through too much, let’s give Judau a W.”

This is a good point, the designs in both of them seem to be the result of giving a room of eight year old boys some pens and paper and asking them to draw the raddest robots they can imagine, then building the results.

That's not Anaheim's R&D department?

I mean I guess they hired a lot more ladies in 0083 so it's not all a boys club.

Anaheim is synonymous with a single thing - Disneyland. Anaheim Electronics is just the Disney Fungineerimg team and every insane and stupid and shortsighted and over complicated solution they invent entirely stems from that fact.
