The Weekly Stuff #377 – Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO Review & Discussion

<p>It’s another dive into the world of <i>Mobile Suit Gundam </i>this week with <i>MS IGLOO, </i>but before that, you’ll also hear some big personal news from Sean, more discussion of Jason Schreier’s fantastic new book <i>Press Reset, </i>and more <i>Resident Evil </i>talk, including Jonathan’s experience playing <i>Resident Evil Zero </i>for the first time. Then we’re off to one of the most obscure corners of <i>Gundam </i>animation, with the 6-episode CGI OVA <i>MS IGLOO </i>and its 3-episode sequel series <i>MS IGLOO 2: Gravity Well. </i>Originally produced for the Bandai museum in Japan, the first series suffers from repetitive storytelling, thin plotting, and some of the worst 3D CGI animation the early 2000s had to offer, and on its own, there’s not a ton worth saying about it. But the sequel series, produced in 2008, isn’t just a huge step forward in the quality of the CGI production – it’s also a wonderfully unique, compellingly told set of ground-level war stories that make for essential viewing for anyone interested in the One-Year War period of Universal Century Gundam, and is a lot of fun to talk about. </p><p><strong>TIME CHART:</strong></p><p>Intro & Stuff: 0:00:00 – 0:36:00</p><p><i>MS Igloo </i>Discussion: 0:36:00 – 2:00:51</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://anchor.fm/weeklysuitgundam"><strong>Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
