And there might be a tiny bit of hope with Netflix and physical media releases.

You know, at least the criterion’s walking away with something…

I absolutely hate when people try to cancel others over little things. Put that energy towards A better use like canceling actual bad people, not someone enjoying a piece of media but still not finding that part of it ok.

I think there are very clever moments though given the satirical subtext. Campy, sure but Definitely shows early promise.

I’m Very angry about what I’m hearing. Apparently some people just can’t behave themselves and not act like jackasses to a certain creator.
Now repeat after me; just because you are deeply attached to a character or property that does not give you the pass to be so entitled and harass the creator.

Cartoons and fiction are not real life. As much as I hate being the person to say “it’s just a cartoon” because I think it can devalue the art of animation, I will say it to the people that are so parasocial over this stuff. It is just a cartoon. It is not real.

I didn’t find much appealing about it. I guess some of the deaths were mildly fun, and it doesn’t have a horrible opening and closing song. Outside of that, it just felt rather generic.

You know, for some reason, the song selection reminds me of American pop’s soundtrack.

*if you can tolerate how gritty it is, and some of the elements that don’t age well.

The cinematography in this one is great; a mixture of saturated neon lights complimented by the constantly wet roads.

I also like how the narrative follows three primary perspectives: the vice squad, Princess, and the killer.

While there are dated elements, I would still say it’s worth a watch*

Hey ant, sorry if I’m taking your time or if it’s too late, but do you always take notes when you take in a piece of media?

gonna watch the company with wolves per your recommendation before I see your video.

Both, lol. There is such a great buildup of dread throughout the series that is just continuously escalating and escalating with the power of the ideon as well as the isolation of the solo ship, and be invoked is just an emotional masterpiece.

She has absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than spreading his propaganda.

My own watch:

* of stuff I wanna watch

I’ve seen ideon and zambot 3, but same I’ve got a big pile lol.

Hey, I’ve got a good bit on my watchlist; would you like to either recommend me one out of these or add-on to it? (I’ve also got a little more.)

So pretty much click bait as always.

Yeah, that’s true, and they also had the second in command as well, and Sheryl to an extent. Would you say Gundam is worth watching? It’s been on my list for quite a while I’m just kind of afraid that it would be like your case; that I had already seen the best with ideon.

“and love the theme of unqualified civilians having to grow strong to survive in a brutal war.” I thought that theme had somewhat transferred to ideon with cosmo and kasha, and the solo ship.

I kind of felt the same way on zambot 3 (like I probably should’ve started with it before ideon) but I still really liked that show as a precursor to what tomino would do later on. Gundam’s still on my watchlist.
