During my GQuuuuuuX rewatch I made an attempt to try and keep track of the various 'haunted objects' and other such mysteries in the show, and I think I've got it now - so!

If you've ever wanted to see a version of Miracle on 34th Street that stars Uncle Billy from It's a Wonderful Life playing an actually insane Kris Kringle and feels like it's playing at 1.5x speed, boy do I have good news for you youtu.be/D1ojqQMHOyQ

My brain wants to assume that the show doesn't really start rubbing in Jerid being a loser until later, but no it's just there are the start.

Anyway what I actually was putting on early Zeta was to find another picture of Jamaican Daninghan because I wanted to make more edits of his head.

The 70s Super Robot That Didn’t Have an Anime: Gattai Robot Atlanger
Introduction When talking about the mecha genre, omitting the merchandise component often tells an incomplete story. Most shows are historically also toy commercials, and sometimes decisions can be traced to bottom lines more than creative choices by a director or writer. But what about a giant robot that, for the most part, was only ever a toy? That’s the story of Gattai Robot Atlanger, a robot from the 1970s that didn’t have a cool and dramatic TV series to excite the imagination and endear itself to an audience, yet still managed to find success by looking cool, being affordable on a kid’s allowance, and having lots of playability.

This is more or less why I'm not too keen on them actually continuing the Thunderbolt anime at some point. Part of what made the original so great is the 2D mecha animation. Ironically though, it would kind of parallel what happened with the manga while Ohtagaki was recovering...
Last note on a potential anime follow-up. Ogata stated that since the staff members, skillsets and production processes have changed up over the last decade - a follow-up would likely feature CG mech animations, at least for a good portion. Which is a bit of shame, but I guess understandable.
