Mobile Suit Book Club // ZZ Gundam (Part 1)

We went into this iteration of Gundam hedging out bets, but it easily ended up being our favorite series in the franchise so far.

 

Bright Noa recruits a new generation of Mobile Suit pilots from the unlikely corner of Shangri-La, an impoverished space colony where we meet our new protagonists junking for salvage from the previous wars.

 

Despite dealing with some heavy topics and doing a lot to expand on the world of Gundam, this series takes a lighter more episodic tone for its first half. And we absolutely loved it.

 

Listen to our discussion of Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam and count the ways that we get Glemy's name wrong (we don't get it right once).
