I'm still super bitter about the episode itself but.... it was interesting to see animated Gundam get elements from this book, even if just tidbits of it, more specifically about the worldbuilding and to how Lalah's mind operate, in some level, in moments of this book.

i just hope they bring up something more interesting than just nostalgia wanking. I know these guys can do better than that

Despite that, I really can't deny I'm curious to see where they'll take this, but my negative bias with GQuX has rosen up like 600% after this episode, oh boy

Everyone talked about it it during the Golden Globe Awards but Fernanda Torres definitely deserves an award if she gets nominated for best actress in the Oscars as well.

Her performance in I'm Still Here was amazing and the best thing in it. Really cool people around the world are seeing that too

Lisbela and the Prisoner was... Fine. It's fun, I like how deliberately cheesy it is in a way it's totally aware of it

Fire Walk With Me was fucking amazing

I'm Still Here was also great. Hooray for the second brazilian movie gringos'll be watching!

An Masculin Feminin was Godard being Godard

There's also a Hanafuda deck on its way here for the next days

Looks like my "just entered my 30s" crisis is taking form into having my interest in traditional board and card games rekindled

i hope more people read it after this video because this manga is really, REALLY fucking good

There are no fixed main characters, so "The Birds" as a whole society is the main character here, and they end up being used as a reflection on human nature since we see them going kinda the same path as humans and how flawed as a civilization they end up being.

Really excellent sci-fi manga here.

and it's also really interesting how the worldbuilding develops here. A lot of very tiny details are answered and explained as we see them go, like how they choose their language, how they turned humans into slaves and literal livestock, the birds' politics and even their religion and primal urges
