Finished ∀ Gundam. Incredibly powerful and beautiful work. It's the perfect payoff to the themes and ideas Tomino has been tackling throughout Gundam and his entire career. I'm glad to have finally gotten to this after all this time.

Youtube comparisons of remasters are basically snake oil to begin with, but I really wonder what they were thinking uploading a comparison of their 4K remaster in 1080p

(HIGURASHI/UMINEKO/GOUSOTSU SPOILERS)

I think it's interesting to look at how the idea of whether or not magic is "real" in Umineko applies to Higurashi. If magic isn't real, then what *actually* happened in Higurashi?

This scene really perfectly captures what it feels like speaking to a certain type of Gundam fan.

"Nonono, Gundam isn't political. Look at this quote where Tomino doesn't say the thing I'm claiming he says"

Also Tomino, writing about the 0079 setting:

It's interesting how Tomino always presents "Gundam" as being viewed in-universe as a sort of symbol, but *what* exactly its a symbol of changes by time and place. In CCA/BC, the Federation decommissions the Gundam's out of fear, viewing it as a symbol of Newtypes.

This recap episode has the vibes of a teacher giving a powerpoint presentation on a book they're reading in class for the kids who are too dumb to get what's going on.

The fact that the digital shots in ∀ mostly have fake grain over them to match the film shots, but Bandai filtered out all the grain from the actual film shots in the BD remaster 😭

There's a Char's Counterattack torrent that I always see people post screenshots from that's super heavily filtered and looks terrible, and it hurts me every time I see it.

Finished Brain Powerd. It's a great show. The way the characters interact with and pilot the robots is super unique and interesting, and Nagano's designs are great, as always. I also really liked the stuff with the US military in the later part of the show.
