there was good stuff that came out during the 2010s, it's probably the closest we'll ever get to a period again in which new original titles were frequently coming out.

remember when aldnoah zero was championed as the next gundam? nobody talks about that show anymore but back then you could not escape it, everyone was talking about it.

that stretch of time in-between gundam age and iron blooded orphans is quite fascinating as age had flopped so bad people genuinely believed gundam was over, so you had a whole bunch of mecha shows coming out to fill that void. not too dissimilar from the five year gap between 0079 and zeta

weird to look back on it, but for a brief period in the 2010s, gen urobuchi was heralded as a potential saviour for mecha

you have no idea how many consequences the fox kids/saban merger really had

i think watching too much early tomino has lowered my standards of men in anime.
im impressed that we're halfway through votoms and chirico hasnt had a meltdown or expressed some sort of fucked up castration anxiety. hes even curious about the fact hes falling in love

VOTOMS: Phantom Arc is a nostalgia tour OVA, which is built around characters celebrating their 25th anniversary by going to a series of places nobody would ever want to be.

more like stupid dimensional fortress am i right

Reminded of the 1984 amateur animation "Owa Farmer Combine", produced by Akita University's animation studies group. Agricultural punning on Dunbine's name just as relevant today as it was 40+ years ago.

da land of ahh

seriously considering that the cyberpunk genre may've fallen short of complete prescience simply by not being stupid enough to reflect reality

goshogun time etranger and nadesico prince of darkness are the same movie

that fuckass yellow rat and his unoptimized games could never

so glad time stranger has made everyone realize how good digimon truly is

Bluesky alt image descriptions

michael garret isn't really a critique of kira yamato, but a subversive parody. his arc boiling down to essentially, 'what if kira ended up like shinn in destiny'

as much as i love super robot wars games i would not consider them to be ideal introductions to the shows they represent whatsoever.

the ceo of bluesky is crashing out, lets move to mastodon instead where random guy whos hosting a thousand dollar a month server can crash out and take out a entire sector of the internet cause they're bored

A four-image "every friend group got" meme featuring characters from Macross Frontier. Klan Klang is "The Fujoshi", Alto Saotome is "Transgender Allegory", Luca Angeloni is "Autistic Individual", and Michael Blanc is "The Struggler"

woke up with an idea

do you think chirico having such a fat ass was part of wiseman's 4d chess game

this is why cross ange is a fukuda work that's far more faithful to the spirit of go nagai than grendizer u

(specifically 90s nagai, i mean. go read devilman lady)

like… anno and tsurumaki are drooling in their sandbox filled with toys (ips they're nostalgic for) but obari's trying to proposition himself as the guy who'll totally save mecha forever

the reason we use obari is because he's a lot more tied to the mecha sphere despite being nowhere near as influential as the gainax dudes who at least managed to do things other than mecha. anno sucks too but he's in a different field, does that make sense?

yes. even if abdullah the butcher popularized bleeding in matches, it is the great muta who the scale is named for because he bled the most in a match

same generation more or less, and besides obariism more accurately describes how modern mecha works are often made in reverence to the genre and attempt to invoke it.

white people: I made up a new insult for robots so I can pretend I’m constantly saying a racial slur! Isn’t it hilarious?

me: That’s kind of fucked up and weird, actually. I don’t think you should do that.

white people: OH SO YOU THINK I’M HURTING CHATGPT’S FEELINGS OR SOMETHING?
