Podcasts about Mobile Suit Gundam

We run down the myriad of announcements made at Gundam Conference 2026 SPRING in advance of Mobile Suit Gundam's 50th Anniversary in 2029!  For starters, the short film, A boy with Gundam, touches our hearts but leaves Isaac wondering where the monoeyes have gone?  Plus, we ponder whether SEED Freedom needs a sequel; should the MSG remaster really be a remake; what exactly does new "footage" mean for the Wing fans; and should we make a pilgrimage to Japan for Gundam Con 2027, the Tomino exhibit, the landmark, and the various festivals... on Gundam Day?  There's also hololive x MSG... whatever hololive is?  Tomino save us!  50th Anniversary news @ Gundam.info  

On our episode this time, Alice is once again asking to be kidnapped so I can become the Space Queen I've always meant to be, Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (1991).

Marcus's fourth and final entry in this Mobile Suit Gundam saga, thankfully saving Iris from a descent into true madness, is a very recent 2021 theatrical entry that is the first of a planned trilogy in the Universal Century timeline. This film, Hathaway, introduces Hathaway Noa, a next-generation protagonist that carries on the legacy of previous UC greats like Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, as he navigates a narrative that's a little less action-heavy and more introspective as far as Gundam media goes—and we're here for it! We are especially pleased with Hathaway's character and his interactions with Gigi, Kenneth, and just the random civilians living in this new post-Neo Zeon world, and perhaps are most disappointed with the weak character development and less-than-exciting ending which are common symptoms of first-movie-in-a-planned-trilogy-itis.

Ya like jazz? Marcus's third Mobile Suit Gundam entry continues the gang's discussion on the Universal Century and the One Year War, with a grittier, more self-contained narrative than what we discussed in our episode on Unicorn. Musically unique and visually stunning, Thunderbolt gets our praise primarily because it feels less focused on the minutia of Mobile Suit Gundam and more focused on being a war movie: it hits a lot harder this time around thanks to its adult main characters, more terrifying and dramatic combat, and more mature war-centric themes like drug abuse or child soldiers. It's not a winner for everyone—Iris might have thrown in the towel on Gundam as a whole this episode—but the gang has a lot of praise for this short, two-sided ballad where nobody wins in the end. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

In earth shattering news, Xbox announces a price decrease for GamePass, Elsewhere Ubisoft finally admits the Black Flag remake is real, and Shuhei Yoshida says he was fired from Sony. Plus Top Gun 3 was announced at Cinemacon, and Marvel Studios returns to Hall H this summer. That and more on this weeks episode.

Now that G Gundam is over, it's time to ask the important questions...

It's finally time to discuss what is almost certainly Tomino's best-known and most widely renowned work outside the world of Gundam: 1980's Space Runaway Ideon, the 39-episode TV series that begins with a relatively similar premise to Mobile Suit Gundam – a ragtag crew of space colonists flee an invading army, with a mysterious and powerful mecha in tow – before quickly spinning into much stranger, darker, and more philosophical territory. In fact, Ideon might be something closer to a horror anime than a traditional mecha show. But however one defines it, Ideon is undoubtedly one of Tomino's finest hours, bold and brutal and artistically extraordinary at every turn. For today's show, we look specifically at the original TV series, which ends abruptly (albiet distinctively); on next week's episode, we'll look at the two films Tomino and Sunrise produced in 1981 to recap and ultimately finish the story. The Ideon is simply way too big to contain in a single episode.   Enjoy, and come back next week for our review of The Ideon movies: A Contact and Be Invoked!   Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:37 Intro and History: 0:01:37 – 1:24:34 Eyecatch Break: 1:24:34 – 1:25:17  Ideon TV Series Review: 1:25:17 – 3:56:28 End Theme: 3:56:28 – 3:58:38  Subscribe to our YouTube channels!  Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation   Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcast Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.com Subscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.com Follow Japanimation Station on Instagram and Threads @JapanimationStationPodhttps://www.instagram.com/japanimationstationpod/ Read Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK “Tominoson-G Mk.

Episode 37 of Key Frames: Inbetweens, a mini-podcast about anime. The bet between Andy and Duncan over what Ben's favorite anime is (currently) has been resolved, yet somehow the lattermost feels like the winner here, because now everyone has to watch Turn A Gundam. Well, "everyone" in this case means Duncan and Jeff, but Ben will take what he can get! Why does this anime appeal so much to someone who claims he's not a Mobile Suit Gundam fan or even really a mecha fan? How did Yoshiyuki Tomino and his writing team avoid the pitfalls typical to multi-cour giant robot shows? Why exactly does Turn A feel so unusually modern and relevant? You'll find out all of this and more, just play the episode! The post Inbetween 37 - RET∀RN (Turn A Gundam 1-26) first appeared on Key Frames.

Considering Japanimation Station started its life in 2019 as Weekly Suit Gundam – which itself started with a six-part podcast miniseries following Sean and Jonathan discussing every aspect of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series from 1979 – it's safe to say we've already reviewed the legendary ‘First Gundam' on this show. So for today's episode, we're doing something a bit different to celebrate the most crucial turning point in the career of Tomino Yoshiyuki: Narrating the history of the series from its conception through the release of the Gundam movie trilogy, which heralded the dawn of a ‘New Anime Era.' It's our most scripted episode to date, as we share original research and writing on the creation and historical impact of Gundam, while also making space to discuss how we see the show itself in the light of our ongoing ‘Tomino-thon' project. Even if you've heard us talk about Gundam many times before, this is an episode you won't want to miss.  Enjoy, and come back next week as we look at the original 39 episodes of 1980's Space Runaway Ideon!  Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:37 The Making of Gundam ‘79: 0:01:37 – 1:39:41 Eyecatch Break: 1:39:41 – 1:40:27 Dawn of the New Anime Era: 1:40:27 – 2:10:38  End Theme: 2:10:38 – 2:12:47  Subscribe to our YouTube channels!  Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation   Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcast Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.com Subscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.com Follow Japanimation Station on Instagram and Threads @JapanimationStationPodhttps://www.instagram.com/japanimationstationpod/ Read Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK “Tominoson-G Mk.

Marcus's second entry in our multi-month saga in the Mobile Suit Gundam Universe takes us into the franchise's Universal Century, but (perhaps questionably) the gang is starting at the very end, with 2010's Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. Everyone's intros can be boiled down to some variation of "this show doesn't work without prior knowledge of the Universal Century," and by far our biggest criticism of the show is that it's a confusing, lore-heavy, politically flip-floppy series; when you combine those two shortcomings, you get a show that's almost impossible to grasp as a first-time watcher. It's a real shame that, at its core, Unicorn shows genuine promise with some excellent political and anti-war messaging, and it's flanked by an incredible Hiroyuki Sawano soundtrack and some of the best animation in the series, but it looks like Marcus should probably provide a primer for the gang next time around. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

“Exhilaration, humor, and pathos” – these are the three pillars Tomino Yoshiyuki outlined in a pre-production memo for the series that became 1978's Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3. And the 40-episode show that followed very much fulfilled those goals, as this blend of super robot and Kamen Rider-style super hero action – also taking copious influence from the worlds of Star Wars and James Bond – is a fun and, in the end, surprisingly impactful series. It's also the show where Tomino drilled down and learned how to perfect an episodic TV formula, telling a different and distinct story every week. While it gets off to a slow start, Daitarn 3 gets better and better as it goes on, building to a finale that proves to be one of Tomino's finest directorial efforts, and which signals the full artistic flourishing of the man who would create Gundam.  Enjoy, and come back next week as we arrive at the dawn of the new anime era: 1979's legendary Mobile Suit Gundam!  Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:37 Intro and History: 0:01:37 – 1:27:25 Eyecatch Break: 1:27:25 – 1:28:10  Daitarn 3 Review: 1:28:10 – 2:41:53 End Theme: 2:41:53 – 2:44:02  Subscribe to our YouTube channels!  Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation   Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcast Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.com Subscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.com Follow Japanimation Station on Instagram and Threads @JapanimationStationPodhttps://www.instagram.com/japanimationstationpod/ Read Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK “Tominoson-G Mk.

Our Tomino-thon reaches its first full review of the season with 1977's Invincible Super Man Zambot 3, the debut series from a newly independent Sunrise, and the first original show directed in full by Tomino Yoshiyuki. Combining fantastical, episodic ‘super robot' action with traces of the darker, more psychologically dense storytelling Tomino would eventually be known for, Zambot 3 also sees several members of the future Mobile Suit Gundam team working together for the first time, including character designer Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, mechanical designer Okawara Kunio (who drew the Bandok fortress, the series' most striking design), and musical composers Watanabe Takeo and Matsuyama Yuji. And it's the show that would, with its legendarily brutal finale, birth the legend of ‘Kill ‘em All' Tomino.

Send a textA rapper in a Honda Civic just outplayed the internet. We break down how J. Cole's trunk-sold CDs, city-to-city drop-ins, and breadcrumb clues turned casual listeners into dedicated hunters—and why more than 200,000 people still crushed a single presale queue. The story isn't just hype; it's a blueprint for connection in a noisy era. When an artist hints this might be the last “J. Cole” album for a while and then shows up in person, the stakes change. Scarcity turns into urgency, and presence becomes the product.We dig into the album's grip and a tantalizing what-if: Cole bar-for-bar over outside producers like Alchemist and 9th Wonder. Would a fully external soundscape unlock a new chapter? The conversation widens into the Big Three debate, where craft, persona, and promotion all collide. Cole's rollout didn't chase spectacle—it built trust—while still driving record physical sales and impossible queues. We swap stories from the field, including a near-miss sighting tracked with Google Lens, and the white-knuckle hunt for tickets, VIP shock included.Culture never sits still, so we push further. Jill Scott's new album shines, Floetry's reunion sparks nostalgia questions, and a left turn to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) reminds us why some worlds never age: strong stakes, moral weight, and style that still punches. We also unpack the latest streaming shuffle with Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. content sliding to Tubi, plus a spirited tier list of game franchises—Fallout, Mass Effect, The Sims, Dragon Age, Wolfenstein, Halo, The Witcher—to test what truly endures. Hit play for a fast, thoughtful ride through music, fandom, and the mechanics of staying power. If this run is Cole's last lap for a while, it's a masterclass in how to finish strong. Subscribe, share with a friend, and tell us: where does Cole rank for you right now? https://www.carolinaotakus.com/

Join the Fanholes as they discuss the twenty-first episode of the series that started it all, Mobile Suit Gundam, on what is now Fanholes tradition, Mobile Suit Mondays! 

Legendary's live-action Gundam movie is starting to take shape with new casting news, including Jason Clarke joining Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo. In this quick update, we talk about why the cast combo feels a little unexpected, why a Netflix release could be a huge missed opportunity for a franchise built for theaters, and why Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth) being tapped to write and direct is the most encouraging part of the whole situation. We also connect the dots to Netflix's bigger strategy of building franchise corners across film and TV, especially with more Japanese properties getting major U.S. pushes. 00:00 Gundam movie casting update: Jason Clarke joins Sweeney and Centineo00:08 Netflix distribution talk and why Gundam should be theatrical00:16 Jim Mickle set to write and direct, Sweet Tooth as the hopeful sign00:28 Netflix franchise strategy and the wider Japanese content push00:43 Personal Gundam context and call for fan feedback00:56 Wrap upThe casting is interesting, but it also feels like an odd match on paper.A Netflix release would be disappointing for a property that screams big-screen spectacle.Jim Mickle writing and directing is the biggest reason to stay optimistic.Netflix seems to be collecting franchise pillars across genres, and Gundam fits the “massive event IP” slot.If you're a longtime Gundam fan, your perspective is the missing piece here, because newcomers and casual fans are still catching up.“The casting was a little bit weird.”“Gundam needs to be on a big screen.”“Sweet Tooth was a really fun adaptation… that for me is probably the most hopeful part.”“This is clearly part of Netflix's wider strategy lately.”“If you are a Gundam fan… does this movie sound good to you?”If you enjoyed the update, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a review, and share the episode with #GeekFreaksHeadlines.All news discussed on the show is sourced from GeekFreaksPodcast.com.Instagram: @geekfreakspodcastThreads: @geekfreakspodcastTwitter: @geekfreakspodFacebook: Geek Freaks PodcastSend us your thoughts and topic requests, especially if you're a longtime Gundam fan and want to weigh in on the casting and the Netflix angle.Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam, Legendary Pictures, Netflix, Jim Mickle, Sweet Tooth, Sydney Sweeney, Noah Centineo, Jason Clarke, Anime Adaptations, Live Action Movies, Mecha, Kaiju, Sci Fi Movies, Geek Culture News, Entertainment News, Film Casting News, Streaming MoviesTimestampsKey TakeawaysMemorable QuotesCall to ActionLinks and ResourcesFollow UsListener QuestionsApple Podcast Tags

Now, we'll be returning to the world of Tomino with deep dives into every TV series and film he's ever directed. In this special preview episode, we outline the season's first half, “The New Anime Era,” in which we'll be analyzing each of Tomino's shows from 1977's Invincible Super Man Zambot 3 through 1984's Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Season 6 Part 1 will run for 12 episodes uninterrupted through May. After a summer break, we'll then return in the fall for a second half picking up with 1985's Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Will you be able to survive? Enjoy, and we hope to see you here for the season premiere on March 15th.

It's A Gundam returns with episode 7 of Mobile Suit Gundam. The crew of The White Base, desperate to contact their federation allies, decide to shoot Amuro at the nearest base like a bullet. Surely using their best pilot as ammunition can't go wrong, but that's not important. The cast would rather talk about the important things in life, like who would you rather have your back, Kai or Kuzzy?

You're going after Rain, right? Right?!

In Episode 6 of Mobile Suit Gundam, Char and Amuro both try to take a nap, while Garma attacks the White Base. One of them succeeds, and one of them becomes very, very grumpy. No prizes for guessing which is which.

 Mike and Derek get together to discuss Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket!

In episode 5 of Mobile Suit Gundam, everyone wants Amuro's attention so much, they keep saying his name twice. Can he complete the tutorial for atmospheric reentry while battling Char, or is the Gundam going to be crushed by Earth's gravity? Also, which host hates the Gundam's cool new weapon. It's Zach, obviously it's Zach.

This week, the crew covers the complex main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam: Amuro Ray. As the pilot who started off as a simple tech enthusiast, his journey from being a teen thrust into the One Year War to being a seasoned Newtype burdened by the weight of his past is anything but simple. Tune in as Jay, Dee & LJ cover Amuro's evolution across Mobile Suit Gundam, Z Gundam & Char's Counterattack and examine how he changed Mecha anime forever.  Follow The Lookout Network on Twitter: @TheLookoutRNCFollow Dee on Twitter: @DeeWeTrustFollow Jay on Twitter: @VersaceVegeta_Follow LJ on Twitter: @onlyatlj
