The Weekly Stuff #399 - Gundam Reconguista in G Review & Discussion

<p>This week’s show is another Weekly Suit Gundam spectacular, but before reviewing <i>Reconguista in G, </i>Jonathan gives some final thoughts on the outstanding <i>Metroid Dread, </i>and we discuss some recent Nintendo news, including the addition of Sora from <i>Kingdom Hearts </i>to <i>Super Smash Bros., </i>and the unveiling of Nintendo’s laughably expensive Switch online expansion. Then it’s on to <i>Reconguista in G, </i>the latest Gundam entry from franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, and perhaps the strangest and most formally daring of all Gundam series. Dense, complicated, wildly fast-paced, and persistently challenging, <i>Reconguista </i>is a divisive entry among the global Gundam fandom, but here at Weekly Suit Gundam, we are in awe of it. There is simply nothing quite like <i>Reconguista in G, </i>which sees Tomino turning up all his thematic and stylistic interests to 11, resulting in one of the purest auteur statements in modern mainstream media. With the best action sequences in the history of Gundam, arguably franchise-best TV animation, amazing and vibrant characters, and a structure that practically re-invents the language of anime before your eyes, <i>Reconguista in G </i>is an endlessly rewarding artistic gauntlet.</p><p>Enjoy, and come back next week for our very special landmark 400th episode!</p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:06:08</p><p><i>Metroid Dread </i>Final Thoughts: 0:06:08 – 0:12:59</p><p>Nintendo News: 0:12:59 – 0:40:36</p><p><i>Reconguista in G</i>: 0:40:36 – 4:20:29</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 L
