In this very special episode, we take a break from talking about Mobile Suit Gundam itself to talk all about the place where Gundam is made: Japan! Jonathan just spent three weeks travelling in the land of the rising sun, and has tons of great stories to share – more than a few of them Gundam related, including visiting the life-size Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba, getting a drink at the Gundam Café, and discovering some very cool Gundam snacks in a convenience store. Beyond that, you’ll also hear about the Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, the Hello One Piece exhibit in Yokohama, cool details about all sorts of famous temples like Zenkoji, Kinkakuji, and Matsumoto Castle, and the infamous Snow Monkeys of Nagano. There were so many incredible experiences on the trip, and this podcast is bursting at the seams with great memories. You’ll also hear all about a wide assortment of Japanese books, magazines, candies, food dishes, and so much more – and even hear a few clips from Karaoke, various shop songs, and the incredible Japanese dub of The Lord of the Rings.
And if you want the best experience possible, make sure to watch this episode of the podcast on our YouTube channel, where we have a special video version with thousands of pictures, dozens of videos, and so much more to accompany all the stories told throughout the episode.
