Build Casters - White Base? (feat. Fujimaru_Husky)

buildcasters@gmail.com (Build Casters) — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 05:01:37 GMT

On the second episode of our two parter, Ash Beardguy, once again chops it up with Mecha Enthusiast and Streamer extraordinaire: Fujimaru Husky. Ash and Fuji have a brief, yet eye opening discussion about Racism and Anti-Blackness within the (Western) Gundam and Mecha Anime Fandoms. Fuji recounts some of the horrible experiences he has had in Fandom over the years and Ash talks about the Gundam Fandom's pretty vile reaction to GundamNerd's GBWC USA 2018 win. Ash also mulls over why Build Casters may not get as much engagement as Gundam podcasts with hosts that aren't POC and asks Fuji about what we can do collectively as a Fandom to magnify the voices of Gundam Content Creators from Marginalised Communities. While this episode may be on the short side, it does not pull any punches! Do not miss it!

What's this? Ash Beardguy and SentaiFive are back with a new episode of Build Casters? On this episode, our Melanated Mecha Bros dissect what is arguably the most important Mecha Anime news in the past few years, Kyōkai Senki, Sunrise's first Non-Gundam Mecha property since Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon, which aired almost 7 years ago! Although happy with the news, Ash is initially pessimistic about the eventual quality of the show, based on staffing choices, whereas Fives is far more optimistic. Someone has to play Mecha Bad Cop! One thing they both agree on is that the Mecha Design is going to be out of this world! Ash also discusses Gundam Build Real, the upcoming live action addition to the "Gundam Build" franchise!

On this episode of Build Casters, Ash, is joined by undoubtedly one of the smartest men in the Anime Podcasting Game, Jamal, host of Get In The Mecha. Ash, a Millennial, and Jamal, a Zoomer, start off by chopping it up about their experiences growing up as Otaku from two different generations, then go on to tackle the main topic, Makoto Shinkai's 2002 Mecha Anime Romance: Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star). They highlight the plot and key themes, but really spend most of the episode marvelling at the animation and the fact that Shinkai animated this work single-handedly using technology that seems decidedly ancient by 2020 standards. So what are you waiting for? Sit back, relax and tune in to this episode of Build Casters! You won't want to miss it!

TheMacabreChap flies solo for this special episode of Build Casters. Against the backdrop of the Covid–19 Pandemic, Black Folks are having their lives stolen away, due to being failed by The State. TheMacabreChap remembers George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade and Belly Mujinga, four people who have died due to the heinous actions and negligence of Law Enforcement Officials and queries as to when those responsible for their deaths will be held accountable.

He also tears into those who participate and sit idly by in this Anti-Black Climate, in which Black Lives are lost with little or no repercussions for those who are responsible and instructs these enablers on how to be good allies and show tangible solidarity with Black People in this troubling time.

On this episode of Build Casters, TheMacabreChap and SentaiFive are joined by the incomparable David Majors aka Djm, host and producer of Anime Podcast of Some Sort (and a bunch of other podcasts). They briefly cover a couple of news items and then delve into the main topic: Gundam 00. As they proceed to gush over 00 for almost an hour xD, they also occasionally remember to critically analyse the plot and characters and discuss how the topical nature of show is still relevant some 11 years after the show first premiered. So set your GP Base and tune in to this episode of Build Casters, You'd be crazy not to!

TheMacabreChap and SentaiFive are back for another episode of Build Casters! Due to TheMacabreChap's lack of preparation (What a douche!), instead of reviewing Gundam 00, he and SentaiFive shoot the shit about a bunch of Gundam News and answer some Twitter questions. In this episode, hear their uncompromising opinions on the impending Gundam live action movie, the crapload of upcoming Build Divers gunpla releases and the utter shit show that is New Gundam Breaker. So set your GP Base and tune in to this episode of Build Casters, You'd be a fool to miss it! P.S. TheMacabreChap was half asleep when recording this, hence why his comedic timing is way off!
