Show Notes
This week, we review and analyze Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (機動戦士Ζガンダム) as a series, discuss our thoughts about the show as a whole, and provide commentary and research on the number four, as well as post-Zeta interviews with Yoshiyuki Tomino and Akinori Endo.
- Wikipedia page for the number four, with a list of things that are in fours (many of them religious).
- A paper about the number four, subitization in humans and animals (even bees!), and the number four's apparent significance to humans across cultures, time periods, etc.:
