I watched Lawrence of Arabia after a million years and it managed to be even more powerful this time. I wish I could see it in theatres cause it was just breathtaking. Absolute cinema 🧎

Halfway through Lazarus and it still whips. The fourth ep in particular is exquisite! Maybe a lot lesser on the characterization and group dynamics front compared to Watanabe's revered works, but it's still pretty cool.

I was blown away by how good F1 was. Exceptional craft and pure old school charisma that is missing in today's commercial cinema. Joseph Kosinski is a real one!

Heartbreaks are brutal. And, I thought last year was bad for me hahaha.

This was the deepest I ever felt for anyone. What am I missing? Where I am going wrong? Why is my love not enough to sustain anything? It really gives you self-doubt and not even giant robots are able to fix that .. 🥲

Gquacks is finally over... good riddance. Now, finally everyone can be normal again for a while.

Ai City was an odd, unsettling and wack experience. It was a memorable one for sure.

Dunbine opens in typical Tomino fashion and we get straight into the middle of things. I quite like the unusual robot designs and excited to see where it goes.

Everything I hear about Tsurumaki's Gundam feels specifically made to piss me off.

All I can say again is that never give a legacy IP in the hands of fanboys unless they are Imagawa.

I finished Queen of Tears. I am not a K-Drama expert nor have I been able to decode why exactly soap opera writing is so successful at melodrama across different cultures, but damn it works everytime.

It ruled!

I watched some more anime premieres this season.

Lazarus - best of the season by a mile. Slick action with stakes and just super cool as expected of Watanabe!

Kowloon Generic Romance - Great atmosphere and the manga is dope. I hope the production can keep up.

Gquack whatever attracting all the people whose Gundam opinions I don't respect and attracting little to none of the people whose Gundam opinions I respect.

Anyways, I watched the premiere cause I missed it in theatres. The robots were 3DCG and that's pretty much all I got out of it which is bad.

Other than GGG, which one is the most appealing Braves title? I want to try another show from the franchise, but I am unable to decide.

I got modest, but some cool plans for 2025 as far as anime is concerned. Everything looks Senshi-core from whatever little I have heard about all of these atleast.
December 21, 2024 at 2:27 PM
Only a few days since the news and one of the core staff members (Yamashita Ikuto) had to already come out and say "stfu about Anno goddamit, this is Tsurumaki's Gundam."

What can I say? Lol. I am staying away from this show like the plague until it's done and dusted and discourse is dead.
December 6, 2024 at 5:19 AM
Oh no... my worst fear has come true. Well, atleast Anno isn't directing and it isn't a remake of anything from the franchise, but still.

Some of my favorite robots! Unlike human relationships, this one is a purely unconditional affair which is why it is superior.😌

There are Science Saru fanatics now cause they are adapting something popular? Typical anime fandom as usual.

I didn't want to say it so quick, but I am already missing the times when it was just a studio centred on one person with a small cult following.

I have zero interest in Look Back, but some of the reviews caught my eye. I find it frustrating how many emphasize that it is so special because it achieves so much in a short run time.

You are just saying that you didn't expect a short to achieve anything significant and that's backhanded praise.

How do you make something like Honneamise at the age of 25? Insane, impossible and simply unbelievable. There is a fair amount of fortune too obviously cause bubble era, but it is a feat that nobody in the industry has come even close to replicating it since then in the commercial space.

I'm also starting on the creator interviews from the Sunrise World website. Once again, I'm beginning with Takahashi because he goes right back to the origin of the studio:

Almost finished with deadline heck. In meantime, I've been whittling away at a big stack of interview translations for my Sunrise production history. First, a 2000 interview with director Ryosuke Takahashi, touching on everything from "0-Tester" to "Gasaraki": www.ultimatemark.com/gundam/produ...

Horse girls is one of the few things that makes me drop my anime fan card and say that this is too weird even for me.

The gambling part doesn't help either, but like just what the hell is it and not in a good way.
