For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985), the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), and the series that made Gundam into a national phenomenon. Expect a whole lot of robots fighting each other and war melodrama resulting thereof, as a task force assigned to clean up the remnants of an evil empire turns evil itself. Still considered one of the best Gundam series of them all. Episodes 7 through 12 tonight.
After that is Chicken for Linda (2023), A French animated slice-of-life comedy about a single mother who tries to make up for being mean to her daughter by fulfilling her request for a chicken dinner. Uh-oh, the shops are all closed and she can’t cook. What’s she going to do? Hilarity ensues, in a beautiful watercolor style. This is the best-known and best-regarded work to date of directors Chiara Malta and Sebastien Laudenbach. Great reviews, so let’s check it out.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
