Gundam Book Club Sentinel Productions

Have you ever wondered what Katoki, Takahashi and Asano were thinking as they made Sentinel? What were their influences? What did they think of the world of Gundam? And what is Stream Base and why is it so important to the world of Gundam? This episode will delve in and try to answer these burning questions.

Gundam Sentinel delved into various themes including what defines sentience.  A.L.I.C.E. is the AI that was developed and incorporated by the EFF into the design of Superior Gundam.  Recent developments in machine learning are available on cell phones and personal computers including machine learning.  Now, consumers can access large language models (or LLMs) for free including programs such as ChatGPT-3 by Open Ai.

Another Gundam podcast I enjoy is Colony Drop.  A few months ago, they had an episode that examined story ideas for Gundam using ChatGPT-3.     Naturally, I decided to give it a try for stories that revolve around Gundam Sentinel.

This episode covers the short manga story by Kondoh san featuring the immortal Frederick Braun.  This story is set in UC 0079 in the waning days of the One Year War.  Zeon forces are preparing for a special operation deep in Solomon.  Braun was ordered to complete this desperate mission, but will he be able to complete it?  Or will he meet his own nightmare at Solomon/ソロモンの悪夢 (sorry I had to do it)?

The Wow Cool Robot podcast inspired me to make this episode.  Gundam Sentinel is my all-time favorite Gundam side story so it only makes sense to do an episode devoted to my ranking of the mobile suits designed by Katoki san and others.    Please remember, this tier list is my personal opinion.  I'm sure some of you will disagree wholeheartedly.  If you are interested, please let me know what you think and share your own rank lists on social media.

Yes, it has been a minute or seven months, but who's counting? This episode is another story featuring the exploits of Captain Braun between the events of Gundam Double Zeta and Char's Counterattack.

By the way, I said his right arm was hit.  My bad, I meant left 😅

I thought we were done with Sentinel too.  However,  Zeonic Scanlations unearthed some new revelations and I had to discuss them all.  Bombshells like the pesky copyrights issue, and why was Sentinel put into an indefinite hold.  They will all be covered in this episode of Gundam Sentinel Podcast (I'm sorry, Gundam Book Club).
