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 19 through 24 tonight.
After that is Snoopy, Come Home! (1972), the second feature-length Peanuts film, following A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), which we previously watched. Bill Melendez directs, as with pretty much all the other classic Peanuts animations. This time, Snoopy leaves home to visit an ill girl, and Charlie Brown thinks his beloved dog has left him for good due to being mistreated by humans. This one is famously the tearjerker of the Peanuts films, but don’t worry, it has a happy ending. Some people consider this to be the best of all the Peanuts films, so let’s give it a whirl.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
