Don't let Amazon try to excuse this under lack of funds or interest in anime, particularly THIS year.

You don't deliver a line-up like this in one year unless you've got something to prove.

Macross 7 Encore (6.5/10)

Watch between Ep 39-42, but honestly this isn't a must-watch. The love triangle one does include Mylene's first meeting with Basara and a new song with Miria, but the rest are kind of rehashes of prior eps or spin-offs.

Made it 5 eps into Ginpachi-sensei

Ep 1 rocked, but just because you admit it's a cash grab doesn't make the rest of this any less boring.

Gintama worked because of its silly as heck anachronistic setting, so having them roleplay a school anime doesn't work unless they commit.

Buttobi!! CPU aka I Dream of Mimi [1997] (3/10)

Early enough to avoid being labeled a Chobits ripoff, but devolves from “treat your pc better” to a tired Windows vs Apple gag.

Watch Video Girl Ai instead.

Macross 7 Plus (7/10)
Must Watch (4-6,8-10), Ok (1,3,11), MVs (2,7,12)

Some of these we straight-up needed in the show (4,5,8), but here's one you can enjoy spoiler free.

Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 (9.5/10)

8 > 6 > 1 > 7 > 4 > 3 > 5 > 2

Tatsuki Fujimoto has an Uncanny ability to inspire people’s inner creative side. The weakest of these do feel like simply retelling rough drafts, but the best of these elevate interesting concepts into cinema.

This is it.
This is the human connection that drives me in my art.
Its knowing that my struggle is not unique. That if asked people are willing to share their struggles and their solutions.

To all say "Yeah I've been there".

I love that even professional artists saw this and went "drawing this angle sucks bro lol" drawing isn't easy but it's so rewarding when everyone gets together and go "yeah me too"

The research part alongside snipping-and-gluing the tweets back together in this made it take forever, but a trend like this deserved nothing more than my best. 🫡

Imagine if Hazbin Hotel was written by Paru Itagaki (Beastars, Sanda) 🤔

Macross 7: The Galaxy is Calling Me (7.5/10)

This has the Giant Green Haired Baddie, so it’s a must-watch by default. Also Basara's better with kids than Mylene. 😅

Grading this as a short film, but it’d honestly be among my favorite eps of the show.

Just insanely awful treatment of Imamori
Black Ranger replaced by Yellow Ranger? Maya Imamori (Gozyu Unicorn) was recast by fan favorite Kohaku Shida (Oni Sister) over Underage Drinking Allegations.

Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club The Movie – Finale Pt 1 (2024) (1/10)

This is the first time in years I sat down for an hr and felt like I watched nothing. Digitizing their concert domain expansions took the magic away from my favorite Love Live concert style.

The new Frieren perspective trend has been really great. Fun seeing all sorts of artists put their perspective on it (even saw Obari make a joke post using some of his work on IBO),

and i'm partly humored how it sometimes brings Tomonori Kogawa into discussion, since he's known for that style.
