I only saw it once at about the same time it came out, but it struck me as a visually ugly ripoff of plot elements that were done better in Akira.

I don’t think you really know what The Graduate is about, Howdy, if this is how you’re advertising it for Valentine’s Day.

LOL, someone actually added it to StoryGraph, but that feels like cheating.

Does Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds count as a book? Because it totally should.

there are books out there with stories and facts you currently can’t even dream of. You’re at the imagination ice cream bar with a mile long counter and you’re going to take a tester spoon of vanilla and go β€œyes, that’s it, I will never try another ice cream flavor again”?

Recently completed my HGUC MSM-04G Juaggu, a pretty easy kit to assemble and detail. I really love the amount of personality in these aquatic mobile suits, and it was a fun bonus to get something from MSV.
