8.7: The Danger Is Unleashed Only If You Substantially Disturb This Place

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. Part history podcast, part discussion podcast, all Gundam podcast.

This podcast is great and is definitely adding A LOT to my rewatch of MSG 0079

Currently on episode 13

2.27: There Was A Ship

Show Notes In this episode: Space-Okinawa, society has a short memory, was childhood ever sacred?, nuclear allegory, fancy uniforms, and mutually assured Gundams. You can read more about the Battle of Okinawa in these pages. While estimates of the number of Tekketsu Kinnotai boys (middle-school aged conscripts) vary, we are going with the 1,780 local Okinawan estimate given by their Peace Museum. Wikipedia has a good overview of the use of child soldiers in WWII generally, including the fact that the International Criminal Court did not make use of child soldiers a war crime until 1998 (and they define "child" as "under the age of fifteen years." Further reading about Yasukuni Shrine and the controversies around it. Did you know the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan "has lasted longer than any other alliance between two great powers since the 1648 Peace of Westphalia"? The essay I mention, that discusses anime portrayals of childhood, is:Ito, Mizuko. “Migrating Media: Anime Media and the Childhood Imagination.” Designing Modern Childhoods: History, Space, and the Material Culture of Children, by Marta Gutman and Ning De Coninck-Smith, Rutgers University Press, 2008, p. 301. These Prussian uniforms are reminiscent of the uniforms on Zeon's rank-and-file, while all Zeon soldiers, including the officers, wear helms inspired by the coal-scuttle-shaped helmets of the German Empire circa WWI. Char's uniform is more specific, harkening back to the uniforms of Prussian cavalry officers circa 1868. Note in particular the collar (like the Zeon uniforms it is a stand-up style, in red with gold detailing), the similarly decorated cuffs, the epaulets, and the single-breasted tunic-style jacket. While none of these features is unique to Prussian cavalry officers or Zeon, the combination of all of them in one uniform is quite rare.

2.26: All Of This Has Happened Before

Show Notes This week, we recap and review Mobile Suit Gundam episode 5, "Re-Entry to Earth," discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on: hot towels, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the history of spaceflight, childhood trauma, Japanese migration, and physics in science fiction! with special guest, Iraj. The East Japan Oshibori Cooperative Association has a brief history of hot towels (oshibori) in Japan (site is in Japanese). Wikipedia has a thorough overview of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, while the following news articles talk about those who refused to leave the exclusion zone, farmers returning to tend their animals, and the high percentage of returners who are 65 and older. I go over the history of spaceflight very quickly - you can learn more here, and click here to learn specifically about Skylab (the space station that broke up on re-entry, it's pieces crashing into Australia). For our discussion of transitional objects, we reference online articles here, here, and here, as well as this article from the International Journal of Adolescence and Youth:  Enrique Roig , Clelia Trelancia Roig &amp; Nancy Soth (1987) The Use of Transitional Objects in Emotionally-Disturbed Adolescent Inpatients, International Journal of Adolescence and Youth, 1:1, 45-58, DOI: 10.1080/02673843.1987.9747625   In case, like me, your high school science knowledge could use a refresher, here is a handy chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, which Iraj references several times in the episode. And here are the promised links with more information about reinforced carbon-carbon and ceramics used on space shuttles. Our discussion of Japanese migration is based on this article from UCLA's Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, and on this book:  Masterson, Daniel M., and Sayaka Funada-Classen. The Japanese in Latin America. University of Illinois Press, 2004.

2.7: Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Show Notes On this episode: space-refugees, soldiers as police, cultural changes in the Japanese post-war period, the "granddaddy" of anime, and anime history and aesthetics. To learn more about Japan's response to the Indochina Refugee Crisis, check out these articles: Havens, Thomas R.H. “Japan's Response to the Indochinese Refugee Crisis.” Southeast Asian Journal of Social Science, vol. 18, no. 1, 1990, pp. 166–181.

Web. 21 Sept. 2018. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/cambodia/1979-09-01/indochina-refugee-crisis I'm not posting links to photos of soldiers and civilians from the Vietnam War years, because there are hundreds and it's depressing, but a Google image search will quickly show you what we mean if you're unfamiliar with photography of the period. In the US, when we learn about Japanese history it is usually in the context of WWII. For a great overview of Japan in the post-war period, check out this book: Hane, Mikiso. Eastern Phoenix: Japan since 1945. Westview Press, 1998. Wikipedia has an extensive overview of anime (with a great bibliography of further reading!). I also enjoyed the two books below. The first, on the history of Might Atom/Astroboy, is written by Frederick L. Schodt who also translated the Gundam novels Tomino wrote between first Gundam and the compilation movies. The second provides some analysis of anime aesthetics and philosophy which I didn't always agree with but did find interesting. Schodt, Frederik L.

2.42: The Next Tragedy

Show Notes This week, we recap, review, and analyze Mobile Suit Gundam episodes 24 and 25 (23 and 24 in the US), "The Black Tri-Stars" and "Odessa Day," discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on: kendo armor and footwork, Japanese spies, rollerblades, plane formations and maneuvers, droop snoots, Japanese body-language and gestures, hydrogen bombs, and military funeral rituals. - Explainer on kendo armor, an image of the 'men' (helmet), and an image of the 'men' with all it's component parts labeled. - Beginners guide to kendo (footwork description on p. 11), and an explanation of kendo competition. - Photo of a kendoka (kendo practitioner) in full armor, looking a little like a Dom mobile suit. - Wiki page and Radio New Zealand piece about Heenan, the RAF pilot who was spying for Japan in Singapore. - About the fall of Singapore. - Forum post explaining how Aircraft Recognition Codes worked during WW2 - using differently colored lights instead of the modern radio-based IFF codes. Post was written by Senior Master Sergeant Gene Hellickson (U.S. Air Force 1965-1969, Air National Guard 1972-1988). - About No. 62 Squadron RAF, the squadron that bore the brunt of the attack following Heenan's treachery, and that we later re-formed as a supply squadron. - The history of in-line skates, including the facts that they are 1) Pretty old, and 2) Rollerblade, Inc. wasn't founded until 1980. Either way, they are probably not the inspiration for the Dom's movement. - Definition of touch-and-go flying drill. - Description of formations, along with their development and use over time, especially during WWI and WWII. - More detailed descriptions of Vic/Vee and Finger-Four formations, and Thach weave maneuver. - Wiki article on snoot drooping technology, and a Quora thread with an excellent explanation of the reasons for drooping that snoot on a fighter plane. - Picture of the Sukhoi Su-27 'Flanker' with its characteristic banana-shaped profile, and one of the Mikoyan MiG-29 'Fulcrum' with its snoot pointed groundward. - All about the Fairey Delta 2, another droop-snoot plane. - What is look down/shoot down radar? - Concorde snoot drooping video (snoot drooping begins at 5:10 and goes until 8:50). - Photos, video, and descriptions of Japanese gestures. - A great reference for Japanese gestures, with visual references. - An ANN article that briefly describes 'dekotsun,' an affectionate forehead poke, which we think is what Matilda does to Amuro when she calls him "cheeky." - History of the battlefield cross (rifle stuck into the ground, with helmet on top), and a wikipedia article that contains an excerpt from the US Army Field Manual, describing the battlefield cross as used in memorials. - Text of Ode of Remembrance, a section from a longer poem, For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon. It is often used in WWI memorial ceremonies, and we use it (with a modified last line) in our memorial for Lt. Matilda. The music in our memorial tribute for Lt. Matilda is Mother's Mourning by Dee Yan-Key.
