Episode Description

In 2023, Logan and Andy discussed the iconic compilation film trilogy that put Mobile Suit Gundam on the map for so many people. In 2026, they will do what so many Newtypes fear to even tackle: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation. With new mobile suits (and a plethora of stylish sunglasses) at their disposal, the boys team up with fellow AEUG members Evan Dossey and Alex Holmes to take on the compilation trilogy for Gundam's iconic sequel series, covering 2004's Heirs to the Stars, 2005's Lovers, and 2006's Love Is the Pulse of the Stars. How does the trilogy cram 50 episodes of Zeta into just four and a half hours? Why do the movies jump between crisp, new animation original '80s footage? Also, who is that cool blonde guy in the sunglasses? (I bet Char would've liked him.) Find out all that and more in this frantic new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
