Salut, salut ! Comme promis après l'épisode précédent, je reviens avec mon ami Nathan (IG : @parc.lunaire) pour vous parler des nombreuses nouveautés annoncées pour ce second semestre qui nous intéressent ! Et le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'on va être gâté. Quelques petits grésillements à signaler en début d'enregistrement, à cause d'un réglage pas optimal, mais rien de significatif sur près de 3h d'écoute. Mes excuses pour avoir également écorché un bon paquet de fois le nom du maître, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. N'hésitez pas à me faire un retour sur l'épisode, laisser une note au podcast, me dire quelles sont les nouveautés du second semestre que vous attendez avec impatience… Bref, venez échanger avec moi et soutenir le podcast !

Los héroes y dioses griegos, la mitología clásica, ha inspirado todo tipo de ficciones. El mundo del cómic no es ajeno y los superhéroes constituyen una épica a la altura de los relatos de Homero. Incluso tenemos editoriales como Tengu que han publicado versiones más o menos renovadoras de mitos como Hércules, Medea o Perseo. La Iliada y La Odisea han tenido versiones muy rompedoras como La cólera de Santiago García y Javier Olivares o el Telémaco de Kenny Ruiz. Hércules es incluso uno de los superhéroes de Marvel, pero además protagonista de El Héroe de David Rubín o de los doce trabajos que dibujó Miguel Calatayud. Y en DC, tenemos personajes como Wonder Woman o Shazam que tienen un fuerte componente mitológico. Además la mitología ha inspirado tebeazos para releer o descubrir como La caja de Pandora de Superlópez o el manga Arion de Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Finalmente con nuestro invitado, el dibujante Víctor Gómez de Es La Hora De Las Tortas, recomendamos la actual etapa de Lobezno, el Supervillanos de Patton Oswalt y Lo sabes aunque no te lo he dicho de Candela Sierra.

Le roman est adapté par David Benioff et D.B Weiss, les showrunner de Game of Thrones, pour Netflix. Dans cette première saison, nous suivons différents personnages, Une scientifique au cœur de la révolution culturelle chinoise, un groupe de scientifiques et un agent des services secret anglais. Tous sont au cœur d'un étrange mystère à base de mort mystérieuse et de message venant des étoiles. L'équipe n'a pas été envoutée par ses premiers épisodes sans saveur et bien loin de rendre toute la richesse de l'œuvre originale. Si comme nous vous avez été déçue, on vous conseille de jeter un œil à l'adaptation chinoise que vous pouvez retrouver ici : https://www.viki.com/tv/39255c-three-body?locale=fr#episodes Coup d'œil surChaque semaine dans l'émission, on vous propose de vous parler d'un créateur ou créatrice de contenu dont nous apprécions le travail :Cette semaine, on vous parle de Jeannot Nymouce un vidéaste de talent qui parle de la culture internet sur sa chaîne et notamment des mêmes.On vous recommande particulièrement sa dernière vidéo en date sur les mêmes autour de l'univers de Mario que nous avons vraiment adoré.Le lien de sa chaine : https://www.youtube.com/@JeannotNymouce On vous propose aussi découvrir la chaine de Mad Dog qui traite du même sujet (les memes internet) sous un angle différent, mais tout aussi intéressant.

Last year, we did an episode on shonen manga that proved to be one of our most popular episodes, so here we are again with a roundup of the first volumes of four more prominent shonen series: One Piece, Naruto, My Hero Academia, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. One Piece and Naruto are two of the biggest of all time. My Hero is one of the hottest properties of current times, and as a comics podcast that's covered a ton of superhero comics, it made sense to check this one out. Frieren is a newer fantasy series that deserves all the attention and then some. Check out what we had to say about each of the first volumes of these popular series! Timestamps for book discussions: One Piece - 18:45 Naruto - 1:02:30 My Hero Academia - 1:58:45 Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - 2:32:55 Here are some related links that may be of interest.

It took us a while--okay, it took 17 years since the last one--but we finally get around to completing our coverage of the 1980s Yoshikazu Yasuhiko post-Gundam film trilogy as Gerald reviews 1986's Neo Heroic Fantasia Arion, which most of us just knew as "Arion." Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
The Men Who Created Gundam by Hideki Ohwada is a fictionalized version of the real story around the creation of Mobile Suit Gundam, the 1979 anime series that spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise that endures to this day. It's a gag manga that takes numerous creative liberties with real stories of the production history and key creatives (specifically, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and Kunio Okawara), and exaggerates things for comedic effect. Of course, depending on your sense of humor, your mileage may vary. There are definitely some things in this book that are a bit questionable. We thought it would be worthwhile to cover this book, seeing as how we read the entirety of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko last year. Think of this as a sort of postscript to our Origin coverage!

This is it. It's the culmination of all things as we complete our yearlong readthrough and discussion of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko! In this White Base-sized episode, we not only provide our commentary of volume 12, but we also take the time to discuss the intriguing bonus features in the book. Plus, because this is the final episode of our coverage of the series, we also share some reflections on the series as a whole. At the end of the episode, we even have a few recommendations for you all. Thanks again to Corey J. Beats for producing our new music.

Major events happen one after another in the penultimate volume of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko! It's not just plot developments that we see, but also some truly meaningful character work, including the culmination of several character arcs. There's always so much to discuss when we cover a volume of this book and, as usual, we provide our chapter-by-chapter commentary. Even as we near the climax of the series, we're blessed with some gorgeous Yas art. There are some beautiful color pages that are truly befitting of this volume's title, A Cosmic Glow.

We've explored books that have been adapted into movies and TV shows on a previous episode. Today, we flipped the table around and talked about novelizations of video games, movies, and TV shows. Books mentioned on this episode: God of War by Chris Roberson and Tony Parker, By the Time You Read This I'll Be Gone (Murder, She Wrote) by Stephanie Kuehn, Rapture (Bioshock) by John Shirley, The Rise of Kiyoshi (Avatar, the Last Airbender) by F.C. Yee, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/keepitfictional/message
The chess pieces are moving into position for the final act of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. We've also got some notable emotional beats as well as some political theater. Also of note, before we dive into the book discussion, we spend some time discussing the recent Yasuhiko-directed film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island. Finally, we apologize for the sound quality in this episode. Due to a technical issue, Albert's audio is much softer than usual. Time stamps: General nonsense, banter, and spoiler-free Cucuruz Doan's Island discussion begin at the start. 31:40 - Cucuruz Doan's Island spoilers begin 56:35 - Our book discussion and commentary for The Origin volume 10 begins.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island has now come and gone in theaters in the US and so it is now time for us here at Giant Robot FM to finish what we started with our coverage of The Origin. Megan D (aka brainchild129) joins us once more to talk over the production history of the movie and, of course, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's involvement as director. This history episode can be considered as part of a set with Giant Robot FM episodes 12-14, which cover the early career of Yoshikazu Yaushiko, the Origin manga, and the Origin OVA.

Volume nine of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko features a couple of major first encounters between key characters, and at least one major revelation. Join us as we continue our monthly deep dive into this timeless mecha classic! If you have any thoughts, questions, or corrections, we're here. Feel free to hit us up on our socials, or email us! We also have a Linktree here: linktr.ee/betweenthegutters
We are now on volume 8 as we continue reading through Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko this year, one volume per month. This month's installment is contains two particularly special storyarcs. One of them is an intensely personal, tragic story about the effect that war has on regular people. The other is the kind of war comic that deals with big picture, chessboard of life stuff that will affect human society moving forward. There's a lot of rich, beautiful storytelling that is rife for thought-provoking discussion, and we invite you to join us. We provide summaries and personal commentaries of each chapter in the volume. If you've got any Gundam or mecha thoughts, feel free to hit us up! And don't forget to check out our previous episodes on The Origin to get all caught up! We also have a Linktree with just about all our relevant (and some irrelevant) links: https://linktr.ee/betweenthegutters
Both Gundam as a franchise and Weekly Suit Gundam as a podcast come full circle this week by returning to the world of First Gundam, with the brand-new movie set in the timeline of the original show, Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island! A remake of the infamous 15th episode of Mobile Suit Gundam – an episode with such a troubled production that creator Yoshiyuki Tomino has never allowed it to be distributed outside Japan – original Gundam character designer and animation supervisor Yoshikazu Yasuhiko returns as director to redeem this story of a Zeon deserter protecting war orphans on a deserted island. It's an absolutely wonderful movie, as beautifully animated as one would expect from the great Yasuhiko, but also incredibly smart and soulful in its themes and storytelling, finding a particularly compelling story for original Gundam protagonist Amuro Ray, played again here – possibly for the last time – by a never-better Tōru Furuya. This is a great movie, and an absolute pleasure to discuss for our final Weekly Suit Gundam before the launch of Japanimation Station. Enjoy, and we'll see you on the other side with the premiere of Japanimation Station on August 1st. Be sure to subscribe at http://japanimationstation.com Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast!

We start today's show by chatting about work, with Sean telling a funny story about getting a teaching certification, before discussing our love for the fantastic anime Kaguya-sama: Love is War, but then it's time for Gundam! And this week, both Gundam as a franchise and Weekly Suit Gundam as a podcast are coming full circle by returning to the world of First Gundam, with the brand-new movie set in the timeline of the original show, Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island!

In this month's installment of our readthrough of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, we're covering more flashback material. This volume encompasses Operation British, the Battle of Loum, and the early portion of the One Year War. It's packed with action, spectacle, and emotionally resonant human drama. Most of all, it's also a masterpiece of political theater. Join us as we provide our usual chapter-by-chapter commentary, packed with varied and sundry references and historical tidbits! Also, please note that we'll be taking a bye week next week. Albert will be at San Diego Comic-Con. Find him at the Beefypoo booth!
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Volume 6: To War continues the flashback/prequel material unique to this version of the First Gundam story. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko adds his thoughtful personal flourishes to the lore and legend of the Universal Century, and he spends an extensive amount of time in this volume covering key formative years of Char Aznable and the Zabi family. This political potboiler makes for a fascinating stew, and there's quite a bit of story here to digest, both in terms of plot and themes. Join our conversation as we provide our commentary on volume six! In 2022, our plan is to read through the entirety of Gundam: The Origin. Once a month, we will read and discuss one volume of this manga masterpiece, the same way we did a full readthrough of Invincible last year.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin volume 5 is a significant turning point in this epic saga. This volume, titled Char & Sayla, is Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's original material; these stories were not present in the First Gundam anime. There's a lot of political intrigue at play here as we witness the formation of the Principality of Zeon as well as the backstories of Char Aznable and Sayla Mass. It's a longer podcast episode than usual because this particular chapter deserves a close examination. In addition to some general thoughts on the volume as a whole, we also provide a chapter-by-chapter commentary. If you haven't been reading along with us, or if you've never read Gundam: The Origin, try your local library or a local bookseller or comic book store. Volume 5 also contains material that was adapted into the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin anime OVAs (also directed by Yas himself), so if you've watched those, a lot of what we discuss here will make sense. You can even watch the anime (in its recut, television broadcast form) on Crunchyroll. In 2022, our plan is to read through the entirety of Gundam: The Origin. Once a month, we will read and discuss one volume of this manga, the same way we did a full readthrough of Invincible last year.
Greetings Giant Robot FM listeners! A new saga of coverage begins today with Gundam The Origin. In the buildup to discussion of the Gundam The Origin OVA, we are doing a three-part series of episodes on how OVA came to be. This first part covers Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's life and career up through the end of the 90s. Joining Stephen and pmc is Megan D of Manga Test Drive who brings a wealth of expertise on Yasuhiko.

Finally, White Base arrives at Jaburo, but at what cost? In this episode, we continue our exploration and analysis of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. We take examine volume four chapter by chapter and discuss the craftsmanship behind the storytelling, and we also talk about the character development and various plot developments. It's another exciting installment of this saga, and in this volume we really see the pain of youth who are forced to grow up fighting a war that their forebears caused. If you've been reading along with us, or if you're just a First Gundam/Universal Century fan, we'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!

It's time for our continuing readthrough of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. In volume 3, we meet Ramba Ral, one of First Gundam's more honorable antagonists. We also get some more layered character development, a look at the rest of the Zabi family, and at least one major plot twist that recontextualizes what we've experienced so far. Yas delivers incredibly exciting and thoughtful storytelling. There's also plenty of sweet, sweet mecha action. Hang out with us as we inspect the various story elements of this masterfully crafted manga!
After breaking down all six episodes of the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin OVA series, we're back for one more Origin discussion to talk all about the manga by the legendary Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Serialized over a full decade, Yasuhiko's manga is a virtuoso ‘comicalization' of the original Gundam anime, realized in loving detail with some of the most incredible art one will ever lay eyes on. The ‘flashback arc' from the middle of the manga was adapted for the OVA, but there's much more material here, and for this episode, we talk about how Yasuhiko's telling compares to the original TV series, what changes we like or dislike, and why Yasuhiko's heavily ‘decompressed' style is so immersive and involving. This manga is one of the best and most singular corners of the entire Gundam universe, and is more than deserving than the episode we devote to it here.

We celebrate the 420th episode of The Weekly Stuff Podcast with absolutely no marijuana – but listeners are encouraged to blaze it – and instead stick to what truly gets us high: Mobile Suit Gundam and life-consuming video games. For the first hour, we continue recounting our journey through FromSoftware's Elden Ring – which continues to be incredible – primarily discussing our time in the red wastes of Caelid and our glorious battle with Starscourge Radahn. Then, it's time for another Gundam extravaganza, as we talk all about the Gundam: The Origin manga by the legendary Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Serialized over a full decade, Yasuhiko's manga is a virtuoso ‘comicalization' of the original Gundam anime, realized in loving detail with some of the most incredible art one will ever lay eyes on.

Gundam: The Origin comes to a spectacular end with its sixth and final installment, “Rise of the Red Comet,” in which Zeon decimates the Earth Federation at the Battle of Loum, Char Aznable becomes a legend, and General Johann Ibrahim Revil delivers a speech that will change the course of human history. It's a great episode, one part space naval epic, another part political espionage thriller, with a rousing closing act that brings us right to the doorstep of the original Mobile Suit Gundam with unforgettable aplomb. And along the way, there's plenty to discuss, debate, and gush over as we bring our journey through this outstanding OVA series to a close.

We're continuing our readthrough of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. Things get even more interesting in volume 2 as we start to see even more world building and characterization. We really get to see how Gundam is a story that's about more than giant robots fighting. The human drama is compelling, and that's what makes the story pop. Join us as we discuss and dissect the various plot developments, characters, emotional content, and subtext.
This year, we're going to be reading through the entirety of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It's twelve hardcover volumes, so we'll be reading and discussing one volume a month, just as we did for Invincible last year. In this episode, we shed some basic information and historical context about First Gundam (the original 1979 anime TV series) and the Gundam franchise as a whole, and then discuss Activation, volume one of The Origin. We encourage you to buy yourself a copy, or borrow it from the library, and join us as we embark on this journey to Jaburo. Or if you're on the fence about it, hopefully our enjoyment and enthusiasm for the series will motivate you to at least think about giving this first volume a shot! MSG: The Origin is an ideal entry point into the world of Gundam, even if you know absolutely nothing about the franchise.
For our first Gundam discussion of the New Year, we're beginning our journey through Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, the 6-part theatrical OVA created between 2015 and 2018, based on Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga of the same name. And to give this great series the royal treatment it deserves, we're covering it one episode at a time! For this week, we're discussing Part I: Blue-Eyed Casval, where we return to Universal Century 0068 in the Republic of Munzo, where a young Casval Rem Deikun and his sister Artesia see the world thrown into chaos after the death of their father, the revolutionary leader Zeon Zum Deikun. It's a great debut episode for one of the best prequel stories ever told, but if you're not into Gundam, we've also got a half-hour of Stuff at the top of the podcast, with Sean telling us all about the first Kimetsu no Yaiba game, The Hinokami Chronicles, and Jonathan telling us about his fancy new computer! Enjoy!

To kick off 2022, we're starting our journey through Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, the 6-part theatrical OVA created between 2015 and 2018, based on Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga of the same name. And to give this great series the royal treatment it deserves, we're covering it one episode at a time! For this week, we're discussing Part I: Blue-Eyed Casval, where we return to Universal Century 0068 in the Republic of Munzo, where a young Casval Rem Deikun and his sister Artesia see the world thrown into chaos after the death of their father, the revolutionary leader Zeon Zum Deikun. With the scheming Zabi family angling for power, the Deikun children are taken in by Jimba Ral and his son Ramba, and Casval's journey to become the Red Comet, Char Aznable, begins. It's a great debut episode for one of the best prequel stories ever told, and a really fun way to kick off another year of Gundam podcasts.

On this episode, Dennis is the lone host over the holiday weekend, but there's a cavalcade of guests. With returning guests Eron and Alcuin, we're also joined by first time guest Yume to discuss Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's 1986 Greek mythology inspired anime Arion. Will our familiarity with Greek myth be a benefit or a drawback to this story? Arion's motivations may change from finding a cure for Demeter to rescuing his sister Resphoine, but he'll meet a host of Olympian gods and heroes to face Zeus. So form an adventuring party. Whether it's a young, plucky thief, or a monstrous triclops, or some dude in a lion mask, get ready. Because it's time to attack and dethrone a god. Special thanks to Eron (@eronrauch), Alcuin (@different_elves), and Yume (@yumewarlock) for joining this episode!

After the huge success of the original Gundam Build Fighters, Sunrise turned around and produced a sequel in just six months – Gundam Build Fighters Try, set 7 years after the original with a new cast of Gunpla battlers. It's a divisive show in the Gundam fandom, and on this podcast! Jonathan loves it, though not without some reservations, and Sean is mostly unmoved by it, despite liking certain things quite a bit. It makes for an interesting and dynamic discussion, as we break down the ways the show doesn't live up to its predecessor and fails to follow through on its own interesting ideas, while also celebrating what's genuinely good here. We also give our thoughts on the recent announcement of both the first new mainline Gundam series since Iron-Blooded Orphans, The Witch from Mercury, and a new film by original Gundam character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Cucuruz Doan's Island, both of which ensure the Weekly Suit Gundam train won't be stopping anytime soon. Enjoy, and come back next week when we review all the Gundam Build Fighters OVAs: Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, Try Island Wars, GM's Counterattack, and Battlogue!

Oh no, it's the episode of Mechinations that Yoshiyuki Tomino doesn't want you to hear! The Mechinations team treads upon Cucuruz Doan's Island before making their way to Sayla's Agony (or Sorties!). It's a perilous journey because, honestly, who would want to end up Doan's island. Thankfully, grounded stories like battle drills and the search for salt give us hope. We recorded this episode of Mechinations only days before the announcement of the new Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island movie to release in 2022, directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko!

I usually talk about sports to lead into the rest of the post, because I have a lot of random quick thoughts about sports that I want to rant about on Twitter or whatever, but they're too long for a tweet. Instead, I'll write about writing about things, having run out of sports things to write about. And also, between first Gundam The Origin manga and now Giant Gorg, I am very generally interested in the rest of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's stuff. It's that time again, time for Anime Secret Santa! This time it's from All Geeks Considered, and big thanks to Vinnie and Diego for organizing it all. And thanks to Kate and Al for organizing the prior iteration on the Reverse Thieves for so long. This is a project I always have a lot of fun with, and I'm glad it's living on somewhere. This year, Chris (@gokuffy) and I are joined by Patz (@PatzPrime) to talk about some anime! I chose Giant Gorg out of my three, Patz chose Zombieland Saga, and Chris chose Robot Carnival. There's even surprises within. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - I talk about Giant Gorg! 17:23 - Patz talks about Zombieland Saga! 44:18 - Chris talks about Robot Carnival! Next time, we probably start our best of 2019 shows!

Our journey through Universal Century Gundam continues with one of the strangest and most rewarding corners of the franchise, the 1991 theatrical feature Mobile Suit Gundam F91. Written and Directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino and reuniting him with Gundam’s original character designer, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and original mecha designer, Kunio Okawara, Gundam F91 was the first attempt to move beyond the original Universal Century saga that had reached its culmination in Char’s Counterattack. Set 30 years later, with an all-new cast of heroes and antagonists, F91 was originally intended to be a full 50-episode TV series, before plans fell through and Tomino and company were left scrambling to fit their story into a 2-hour feature. The result is, indeed, a mess, albeit a fascinating one, filled with some of the richest and most affecting material the franchise has ever conjured, brought to life with some of the best animation ever committed to film. There’s no doubt it’s an oddity and outlier in the history of Gundam, but it’s also essential viewing for fans of the series – and it leads to one of our most enjoyable conversations so far.

Show Notes Everything continues to go well for the Zabi family.This week, we recap and review Mobile Suit Gundam episode 10, "Garma's Fate," discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on: Where exactly are we? Are we there yet? How long will it take to get there?, the Seattle "Kingdome," carpet-bombing and incendiaries, the first kamikaze pilots, and episode director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. - A couple of the maps I looked at before Thom told me they are not to be relied upon.- History of the Seattle Kingdome stadium, unexpected architectural star of the episode.- Carpet-bombing and incendiaries explained. Prepare to be sad about the lengths humans go and the creativity employed in the interest of killing each other.- The first kamikaze pilots.- And additional information on episode Director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (aka YAS), character designer, animation director, artist, and award-winning manga creator (link is to a source in Japanese). I highly recommend doing an image search to see samples of his artwork; it makes his artistic influence on the show much clearer.You can subscribe to the Mobile Suit Breakdown for free! on fine Podcast services everywhere and on YouTube, follow us on twitter @gundampodcast, check us out at gundampodcast.com, email your questions, comments, and complaints to gundampodcast@gmail.com.The intro music is WASP by Misha Dioxin, and the outro is Long Way Home by Spinning Ratio, both licensed under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license.

Evan managed to convince David to watch Erased, so this episode the hosts sit down with freelance video producer Bill Zoeker (currently working at Crunchyroll) to talk about the popular anime series. Having an extra person on the show and having a series with so much to talk about resulted in us going WAY overtime, so this episode is almost two hours long! Topics include fish tails vs. fish heads on a mermaid/merman, the power of #branding in Shadow of Mordor, and whether the weird age differences in Erased are more or less OK than the one in Garden of Words. SPOILER ALERT: We spoil Erased late in the show, but we give a spoiler alert before it happens. Direct Download – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes Runtime: 1 hour, 36 minutes Show Notes Opening Song: “Blues Machine” by Scott Gratton Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is available from Vertical, Inc (Amazon, RightStuf). We talked about two notable creators on Gundam: Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of Gundam and director of the original series; and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, character designer of the original series and manga artist of The Origin. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. Triton of the Sea is available from Digital Manga Publishing. Evan mentioned Osamu Tezuka’s “Star System,” an explanation of which is available on Tezuka in English. The term “gekiga” refers to an alternative style of more hardboiled and/or down-to-earth manga popularized in the wake of Tezuka’s success in the 1950s and ’60s — notable artists include Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Takao Saito. Tezuka himself sought to copy the style once it started to gain traction, though Triton doesn’t exactly fall within the artist’s series of “dark,” more adult works. Erased is streaming on Crunchyroll, FUNimation, and Daisuki. Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, David Evan hosts the Crunchycast podcast on Crunchyroll and writes for Otaku USA Magazine.
