Brain Powerd is definitely on my radar, but I think when I pick back up watching through Tomino stuff, I'll probably round out the Gundam stuff with G Reco next. I know you're pretty big on those ones so I'll be sure to lyk when I get around to them. I actually have the show on bluray since a while, so I'll watch it that way first and check out the movies when I feel like revisiting.

That's a fair take on lotgh, I'll see about checking out DNT at some point since you peaked my interest for sure. Hoping it lives up to the hype whatever the case cause I'm in the mood for a hit when I get back to watching shows. My required dosage of Imaishi peak is doing the trick for now with PSG2 tho haha.

Been seeing your occasional Letterboxd reviews btw, I like them! That Fear Street one was funny lol

yeah, it seems mad fun to keep theorising. s1 is definitely great fun on its own but the s2 rewatch is so, so tempting for that reason alone. i've been meaning to watch Tutu as well. i've no idea it was similar; largely heard it was just 'different', so to speak. will definitely bump it up the evergrowing queue lmao.

seeing the Despera announcement made me super interested in rewatching his works again. i can't imagine when i'll rewatch Texh but Lain and Malice Dolls are works that so desperately need a rewatch.

hey, that's great man. i've been good. 2024 was uh, a bit of a mess but we got out the other end. starting to also lock-in to adult life. very nervous but hey, gotta keep moving forward!

oh hey. my top 10 on mal isn't really in the 'proper' order actually and i haven't actually seen the show in a few years now. that said, however, it's aged so well for me and of the surprisingly decent amount that i remember (and few convos i've had with some other friends), the kill-the-past-esque thematic core continues to resonate, not to mention the unexpected brainworms once i really begun to dig into its metanarrative structure and getting to 'connect' everything. additionally, roger's final lines in ep 26 continue to resonate so deeply, it made me do a complete 180 on my original take.

i also want to say, it's been ages. hope you've held up well man. :)

Btw while we are at it I might as well ask... How would you recommend tackling G Reco? Is it simply TV series into the movies or?

Rare new Cynthia pic moment

she did develop her character, but it's not like in the first season. The first season focused more on her past and how she became who she is. No, because there are still those "case of the week" episodes. The drama of the season shifts from the protagonist to other people.

Thanks for the guides! Will definitely be saving these, been kinda dreading working it out, so this awesome haha. I'm a release order kinda guy over chronology if there's a choice. Will lyk my thoughts once I play them, I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on them too.

Kind of reminds me, as a side note, that I did get up to finishing Turn A back on my Gundam binge. Been a while now for any detailed thoughts off the top, but long story short, I really liked it! Definitely remembered having some gripes but it's a top contender for best Tomino work I've seen so far. Depending the day you ask me, I might still say I actually prefer Victory, but it's pretty much a toss up, each for their own reasons.

Honestly not surprised to hear it for the Galactic Heroes OVAs but considering that episode count I wasn't expecting the visual fidelity to be anything consistent or impressive. Thankfully, I'm usually able to look past that in favor of strong writing and certainly tone. Novels would be a good option, but I'm just awful at consistently reading things that aren't full of pictures cause I'm a complete manchild lmao. In any case, don't think the DNT route is speaking to me.

Yes, thank you. The first three seasons are worth watching, but the fourth isn't so much because there are 6 episodes, but only 3 are random episodes that already aired in previous seasons.

Great pitch, I'm always tuned in for movies lol. I'll definitely check it out at some point. I'd like to play more video games in general, but I have a habit of just saying that so who knows lol. I do think I'll be checking out MG first between them, soon as I figure out which version of what game is what exactly haha.

I'll keep it in mind for Ai-Ren. I've been re-reading manga from my collection as of late so I figure I'll be in the mood for new stuff pretty soon. Same with shows, been craving a top shelf ptw soon, I'm thinking legend of the galactic heroes.

I don't think so bro. My old profile was called YoukaiBlaster1, but I've lost access to it.

Ay the man's back! Glad to hear DS2 was a good time! I'm not familiar with the franchise yet or most Kojima titles, but it looks pretty fuckin insane. I'm looking forward to checking them out.

Digging the new favourites additions btw! Definitely makes me way more curious about Ai-Ren

Happy birthday man, hope u have a good one!

Happy birthday! :)

Have you had a chance to watch G-Witch? There's something particular to the UC and the new series about to air that I was curious about your opinion on.

I also saw someone recommend IBO, the entire UC, and G-reco at once and go unchallenged. Truly a new (better) era of Gundam fans are being born.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with the Lupe scene. While I don't think it quite lands with me, it's definitely a characteristic unique to Tomino and I can respect that.

Victory's approach to the anti-war messaging is pretty layered and definitely demands some rewatching to pick through it all. I think I agree with some of your main ideas here though. Also, that's a fair point on the Katejina scene. The lady captain came across too convinced by Katejina's loose reasoning which struck me as odd, but I guess if she was trying to rationalize it as an order from a superior that she had no choice in anyways, it makes much more sense.

Anyways, I appreciate the interesting discussion. Hope your Christmas was also great and cheers to the new year :)
