Space Opera: Mecha Anime (Gundam & Macross)
Episode description
This week, it’s another anime special on the podcast as we tackle the (almost) impenetrable franchises of Gundam and Macross—or Robotech for those more familiar with the US version. But where do you even start with these iconic mecha series? Don’t worry, listeners, we’ve got a crash course lined up just for you. We’ll guide you through the origins and significance of Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), which revolutionized the mecha genre, and Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984), a film that captures the heart of the Macross saga.
Join us as we explore these legendary space operas and unravel the complexities of their expansive universes.
For those wanting to watch the films discussed below is a list of the ones covered:
- Mobile Suit Gundam I
- Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow
- Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space
- Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?
