I hate that she can have such an editing mistake as "come's" and yet be technically correct about the blueberry.

You'd think "orange" would count, but the colour is named for the fruit, not the other way around.

a drawing of a robot with a triangle on her chest Alt: Aria, a cute robot character from online game Zenless Zone Zero. The cutest robot you've ever seen, sings in a wannabe idol group with her two best friends, entirely capable of being the world's greatest assassin if she didn't find the idea mortifyingly abhorrent. ZZZ has the best robots.

There is an appeal to giant robots with the power to destroy battleships acting like cutesy girls who want headpats or even... *blushes furiously*... holding hands.

Shangri La Frontier deserves credit for COMPLETELY taking the piss out of Sword Art Online by:

Having a MC who's a silly asshole
Never forgetting why video games are fun in the first place
Letting the MC get his ass handed to him
Letting him play OTHER GAMES when he wants a break

Slime is very odd in that regard, refreshingly & often hilariously so.

"I became one of the most powerful creatures on the planet, as unto a god, because assholes wouldn't just let me chill with my friends." is a CRAZY premise but it carries the whole way through.

a close up of a cartoon character 's face with a serious expression Alt: First moments of the Xabungle opening, showing dawn rise on the protagonist, Jiron Amos (sometimes known as "Badass Charlie Brown" by fans).

Fuck it, watch Xabungle.
Tomino being happy is good television. He *genuinely* missed his calling as a comedy writer.

Then he does it again with Overman King Gainer (same vibe, better animation)

Herge’s early works really did take the piss, didn’t they?
I’ve got this one on my shelf (haven’t read it in a while) but it’s such bold satire it sticks with you, even if it doesn’t hold up compared with later books.

The MOST Ojousama you've ever seen in a Gundam wearing a comically large queenly dress/hoop skirt.

When fighting she deploys her (unmanned) Maid GM which grapples with the opponent as the Gundam backpedals to a "safe" distance, then the dress converts into a *throne* that fires missiles/cannons.

Well now my brain is full of ideas for a G Gundam fighter that has little opera glasses they hold up when engaging in long-range bombardment (their Gundam also has opera glasses)

Thank you

Honestly I assumed you'd have seen this already.

It's like a GENERATIONAL landmark for yuri and SYMBOLISM.

I'm sure you'll either love it or hate it with equal passion.

A moment of silence in remembrance for our departed friend Sayla, who mere hours after finishing the greatest representation of her Giant Robot Wife yet devised by humanity, did embark on a doom journey into a franchise that shall see her brainrot within a fortnight.

I have no way to confirm it, but I remember hearing that girl she KOs never appears in the show again.

Girl got rocked so hard she transferred schools after leaving the hospital.

On the contrary, β€œwhat if’s” are invaluable to explore causal relationships between events, choices, & consequences.
