Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island has now come and gone in theaters in the US and so it is now time for us here at Giant Robot FM to finish what we started with our coverage of The Origin. Megan D (aka brainchild129) joins us once more to talk over the production history of the movie and, of course, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's involvement as director.

This history episode can be considered as part of a set with Giant Robot FM episodes 12-14, which cover the early career of Yoshikazu Yaushiko, the Origin manga, and the Origin OVA.

We've reached the end of Planet With in only 12 episodes but it really feels like it's been 5 years!
