The hosts are back this week to discuss Gundam's most gentle & caring pilot, Turn A Gundam's Loran Cehack. While other Gundam pilots can be hot-blooded, philosophical or dogmatic, Loran fights for understanding above all. Tune in as Dee, Jay & LJ give their thoughts on the growth of the anime movie industry in the U.S. before they unpack Loran's growing empathy between his people - the Moonrace - and the people of the Earth, along with how changes in the Yoshiyuki Tomino himself led to Turn A Gundam's impact on Gundam as a whole.
