I don't think I've seen one of these threads in a minute, so why not? shrug-outta-hecks

Here's what I've had going on -

Completed:

Good:

Giant Robo: the Day the Earth Stood Still - Great OVA! I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys G Gundam since the first few episodes of this essentially helped Imagawa get the job as the first non-Tomino TV Gundam showrunner. From what I know, they didn't license the actual stories from the manga, so Imagawa and crew made shit up whole cloth and use characters from miscellaneous Yokoyama manga. It gives it this really manic energy when guys with random super powers and Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters are all fighting each other like a kid playing with a box of their parents old toys. Very light on actual robot fights, but the animation is gorgeous.

Getter Robo: Armageddon - More 90s super robots. I didn't like it as much as Giant Robo, but this goes pretty hard and was enjoyably edgy as fuck.

Rose of Versailles - Delightful 70s classic. It has me wanting to watch more Dezaki stuff - maybe Space Adventure Cobra will work its way in soon.

OK:

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2 - Wasn't bad, but it just didn't have enough to interest me.

.hack//Sign - This was a favorite of mine back in the old days. It's good for an advertisement/prelude for the PS2 games, but I don't think I would recommend it otherwise. I also watched the Intermezzo and Unison OVAs - they're eh.

Kill La Kill - I watched this on a whim after watching Cutie Honey (1973). It's not bad, it's just not really my thing.

Musha Knight Commando: SD Gundam Scramble - Probably cool if you were like 10 in Japan in the early 90s. vivian-shrug

Bad:

Cross Ange - Please check CWs before considering this, but wow is this an interesting train wreck of a show.

Ongoing:

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 30/110 so far. Still liking it a lot, but I'm just slowly working my way through this one. I couldn't imagine binging through it.

I’ve recently picked up Solo Leveling. I’ve already read the Webtoon it’s based on, so I already know all the big plot points. But it’s nice seeing it translated to a show. It’s only the second or third time I have actually read the “manga” (do Webtoons count as manga?) before the anime, so it’s interesting to be on the other side of the fence this time.

Movie: Inu-Oh: a fun rock opera. I reccomend for a good time.

Finished up:

The dangers in my heart: great ending, I'll likely pick up the manga. Weirded me out to find out the kids are barely 14 though.

Yubisaki to renren: super cute, nothing spectacular but lovely slice of life heart throbbing romance

Started:

Konosuba: I think ep.1 leaked because I was able to watch something. Either way, glad the fun is back, look forward to whatever they do this season.

Hibike Euphonium: I started the new season but was confused. Turns out I missee 2 movies so I'll go back and watch those.
