Giant Robot FM 106 - Old Man Yells at Colony Cloud (Gundam books history discussion feat. Mark Simmons and BJ of Zeonic Scanlations)
Hello Giant Robot FM listeners! The Gundam book club starts now! On this episode, Gundam experts Mark Simmons and BJ of Zeonic Scanlations join to help us kick off this 2025 literary effort. As we'll be starting off by reading the Frederik Schodt translations of the Yoshiyuki Tomino Mobile Suit Gundam novels, we recorded this discussion about the context for those novels and how Tomino ended up a prolific novelist.In two weeks, we'll be posting an episode where we discuss the first volume of the Mobile Suit Gundam Novels, Awakening, but this episode has no "required" reading.Please find BJ at these links:Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/zeonicscans.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/zeonicscansSite: https://zeonic-republic.net/Please find Mark at these links:Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/toysdream.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ultimatoySite: https://www.gundamunofficial.com/Skeet us @giantrobotfm.bsky.social and write to us
