Show Notes

This week, we review and analyze Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (機動戦士ガンダムΖΖ) episode 33 - "Afternoon in Dublin” (ダブリンの午後) discuss our first impressions, and provide commentary and research on this episode's Animation Director, Kanayama Akihiro (金山明博), and Unit Director, Imanishi Takashi (今西隆志).

  • Pages about Kanayama Akihiro (金山明博) on Japanese Wikipedia, Anime News Network (ANN), and IMDB (the IMDB page is incomplete).
  • ANN article about Kanayama attending Japan Expo USA 2014, and an interview with Kanayama from the expo itself.
  • About a solo exhibition of Kanayama's work in 2017.
  • About JAniCA (Japanese Animation Creators Association).
  • Pages about Imanishi Takashi (今西隆志) on Japanese Wikipedia, ANN, and IMDB, as well as the IMDB page for his pseudonym, Oukuma Asahide (大熊朝秀). You can see him credited under both names (Imanishi for Director and Oukuma for Writer) on the Wikipedia page for Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (obviously, spoiler warning if you haven't seen this show yet).
  • Japanese Wikipedia page for the historical figure Oukuma Asahide (大熊朝秀).
  • English-language pages about director Nagahama Tadao (長浜忠夫) and the Robot Romance Trilogy.
  • ANN page for color designer/setter Imanishi Kiyoko (今西清子) (maiden name Takashima (高島)), and her two IMDB pages: under her maiden name and under her married name.
  • Japanese-language page with general information about Imanishi Takashi, that includes mention of him being very drunk at an official event, and an English-language blog post discussing the possibility that Imanishi's drunkenness at an important prescreening led to career consequences.
  • Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

    You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.
