Based on the most recent episode which of the pilots would enjoy Bocchi the Rock and Birdie Wing the most?

Norris dissecting the 08th team to take out the Guntanks is my favorite fight scene in anime. Scale, impact, and emotion are all there. The shot of oil/blood shooting out as he turns the sword is my Roman Empire that I think about at least once a week.

Aina is very REI coded with her not wanting to be a doll for a male authority figure and everything. Would you rather have your dead wife back or a really big beam?

Michel driving the tank under fire: OHHHHH GOD OH FUCK IM IN WAR AND SOMEONE IS SHOOTING AT MY WAR TANK AND NOW I HAVE TO DODGE AHHHHH

First watched the show while I was deployed. Was never really into Gundam until I saw this. For the first time there were soldiers that looked like the kids I was deployed with and weren’t all bearded badass Vikings. They were scared, didn’t want to be there, and had feelings. I’m 42 this year and deployed again. This time my team is kids born after 2001, but the same feeling. Just more kids in a war. Thank you guys for bringing this back in my life at this moment in time.

Gundam series have this great ability to start off as a silly, superpowered robot Saturday morning cartoon show and evolve into bloody, war atrocity filled tragedies. And then they throw in things like the Gouf to still make it really cool tragedies.

Thanks to Heather and the pod I've finally gotten into Gundam! I finished 8th MS Team and watched Gundam Origin. I've started UC079 Gundam but it's a bit of a tough watch so I want to make it my workout show. I also started Iron Blooded Orphans and really dig it so far! I like that there is pretty clear insight into the "bad" characters and their motivations which aren't always as cut and dry as you may think.

This is only my second anime I’ve ever watched and I’m loving it so far! I only recently also begun a watch of Dragonball, which is a lot of fun, but this scratches a more serious, futuristic itch! I always thought Gundam looked cool when I was younger, but I never had access. Excited to dive deeper in the wealth of stories anime has to offer! Thanks for being a guide!

Norris’s attack on the MS 08th team is one of the best animated battle scenes in anime. With that said, watching some of the earlier scenes with the fighter jets makes me want to seek out an anime with modern to futuristic Jet fighting. I think the closest thing, is the video game series Ace Combat.

Loving the beams in these episodes, and I think it’s about time that Nick acknowledged that Matt was right and the beams are awesome

I've been working my way through the UC timeline and haven't started 8th MS Team yet and am SO looking forward to it now. but I did watch War in the Pocket and didn't think it was all that special. Am I missing something? F91 is goated, though

Baseball Anime - Let’s go! My personal favourite is Oofuri/Big Windup - the manga has been going since early 2000’s but we only got 2 seasons of anime back in the late 2000’s. Season 1 features a single game that spans about 10/11 of the episodes and I LOVE that. It takes its time, it explores almost every pitch as this young team is pitted against an absolute beast of an opponent. The show focuses, like many do, on the pitcher and catcher battery - in a way similar to Haikyu, with a talented player being guided by the “genius” to defy expectations. I love it a lot. Then you have all the various sports/baseball series that Mitsuru Adachi wrote. I haven’t explored all of these, but Touch is the classic one - while Cross Game is another favourite, I like the family and personal drama of that one. Adachi’s character designs are fairly limited… so many of the series’ he’s written have similar looking casts. And often Cats popping up too. Major is the big one, though it’s admittedly a blind spot for me. Then there are the slightly weirder ones. One Outs was another 2000’s show I remember liking at the time - with more a focus on gambling and psychology in baseball, as the protagonist (a pitcher) strikes a contract with a struggling team that sees him win big for each player he pitches out, while losing out massively for each point scored against him. So becomes all about psyching people out and risk. Was fun at the time!

My favorite moment in ep 10 was when Norris took down that guntank with his sword and the oil sprayed his Gouf like blood. Such a well executed bit of animation that totally had me rooting for him as a hero among Zeons.

If Matt wants to get into gunpla the HG Gundam Ground Type Revive is a great kit to start with and looks extremely cool out of the box, without much additional detailing required. But abandon all hope, ye who enter here: Once you build one, you truly won't want to stop, I've got 27 kits on my shelves and two more in the closet waiting to be built.
