both are good podcasts. great gundam project is a couple of communists (who start reading lenin partway through gundam zz) doing broader thematic analysis, 2 episodes at a time. after the first 2 seasons they almost always have a backup show they're watching alongside gundam, to add some variety into the mix. they're great, they have a great community and other podcasts they do
mobile suit breakdown goes one episode at a time and does really deep dives into production, possible real world inspirations for things in the shows, covering the cultural significance of minor details that might not be obvious to a non-japanese audience, or trying to figure out where exactly in the world white base is at any given time. things like that. both are good, i personally vibe more with ggp but msb has lots of cool stuff going on as well
Those both sound tight as hell. I'm on the last bit of 79 and now I wanna watch again so ill have it.finished soon. If I start a pod while watching Zeta is that a good call? I don't mind spoilers too much but they matter more for some shows than others I guess. So far it seems like a franchise I can spoil and still totally enjoy as long as the moment to moment is rockin
for ggp the hosts are basically completely blind, and avoid referencing any future things when they aren't. one of them saw 0079 and a bit of zeta before the podcast but preserves the mystery for their cohost, and after that they both have seen no gundam beyond a given podcast episode's subject matter, and try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. if you listen to them cover the start of zeta gundam they won't bring up anything beyond the first 2 episodes of zeta (though obviously 0079 spoilers will be free game)
for msb, one host has seen a lot of gundam and the other hasn't. they try to avoid anything predating the current episode but sometimes give little hints of the future because they don't always record perfectly in order because that's not how their podcast works. nothing major though
Okay, sounds tight. I generally don't mind spoilers but it's also hard to tell which ones matter to you until it's too late. They sound cool and having recently gotten into building stsr trek models, Gundams are a-comin as well for sure.
Neat, I'll probably give em a go after I've watched it all.
