S6E15 - TOMINO-THON! Mobile Suit ZETA GUNDAM Part 2 - The Dramatic Ending & Extraordinary Afterlife

After reviewing the first half of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam last week, we finish up our revisitation of one of Tomino Yoshiyuki’s undisputed masterpieces with a deep dive on the series’ second half. Building to one of the greatest final stretches in anime history and introducing iconic new villains Haman Karn and Paptimus Scirocco, Zeta Gundam only gets sharper and stronger as it barrels towards its legendary ending, and we still have plenty of new things to say about it all these years later. We also cover the series’ historical reception, from its controversial initial airing to its eventual re-evaluation as one of the great sequels in anime history. Enjoy, and come back next week as we move on to Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ!  Time Chart:Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:38Zeta Gundam Review Pt. 1: 0:01:38 – 1:00:23Eyecatch Break: 1:00:23 – 1:01:07Zeta Gundam Review Pt. 2: 1:01:07 – 3:12:46End Theme: 3:12:46 – 3:14:50Listen to our original Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam review on episode 7 of Weekly Suit Gundam from August 2019 – https://youtu.be/C7CnXtCtjxc?si=RWYBYb2W9Z30a_HGSubscribe to our YouTube channels!Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastRead Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.comFollow 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.
