By: Nina & Thom
  • Summary

  • MSB is a weekly Gundam podcast for new fans, old fans, and not yet fans. Nina (a Gundam first-timer) and Thom (a lifelong Gundam fan) analyze, review, and research all 40-years of the iconic sci-fi anime mega-franchise Mobile Suit Gundam in the order it was made. We research its influences, examine its themes, and discuss how each piece of the Gundam canon fits within the changing context in Japan and the world, from 1979 to today.

    Show Notes

    This week on Mobile Suit Breakdown, Victory juggles a lot of balls, Uso playing a lot of roles, Mandella gives out a lot of tickets, and Thom identifies a lot of possible inspirations for the League Militaire.

    Please listen to it!

    Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

    You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

    Show Notes

    This week on MSB, we visit Barcelona and find that the Catalan independence movement may well have gotten what it wanted, even if it took until the Universal Century. Plus Uso doesn't know what kind of episode he's in, Duker Iq's globe-spanning influence becomes apparent, Fuala belongs on the runway, and Thom wants to know what exactly Uso meant when he said that 'League Militaire' means 'Holy Alliance in ancient Roman'.

    Please listen to it!

    Full show notes will be available on our website soon!
