Honestly I wasn't able to get into Evangelion. It was just too big, and I had trouble even finding the way to eject the Entry Plug enough for me to enter it. I tried asking some NERV guys about it and they were like "Who are you? How did you get inside the base? Who are you working for?". ...

Happy birthday, Eva.

Yeah me and Kuribo have been watching and enjoying immensely. I really think P&S is the height of Imaishi's more anarchic (Pun absolutely intended) projects.

Aside from Eva (obviously) I could list a few. Little Witch Academia is just peak comfy. Every single character is fun and unique, the animation is top shelf with a really good and original artstyle. Also the overal theme of the show (basically "believe in yourself and do your best, even if yo...

Did Grendizer U do even remotely well anywhere? That's the only other Gaina thing I can even think of that's attached to like, a real IP.

I'm kinda torn on both Koyomi Vamp and Neko Black. For Koyomi Vamp, if this was the only version of Kizumonogatari we had on film since like 2017 I think it'd be loved just fine today. It flows well, still looks amazing (Barring occasionally janky new interstitial shots created for it), and well its...

Anno is still primarily an otaku with otaku interests, which means for better or worse his heart is mostly with the IP work he grew up on. I think this has just become more prominent since the Shin movies took off in earnest with Godzilla. I don't think this is inherently either good or bad, its not...

Why? He has no obligation to some random dub actor he didn't even get to cast himself.

Bummer to hear about this. Hayashibara is one of the greatest voice actresses ever, but sadly that doesn't mean she isn't susceptible to unfortunate bullshit online.

Resident Evil 9 is finally officially announced.

Honestly I'm pretty hyped for post-nuke Raccoon City, though trailer makes it clear I also need to go back and play the Outbreak games lol.

Valvrave of all things is somehow the only one from that list I've seen but yeah its odd. WFM only being Season 1 for some reason is really weird too. A lot of series on the roster have sequels, so maybe they're planning for Y2, Y3 etc. down the line, but it could also just be one of those lolSRW th...

This aligns with some of the other criticisms I remember seeing about 30, and it sounds like it inherited some of the issues from V/X/T too. I mean those games at least had rosters that appealed to me more whereas part of the reason I skipped on 30 was because I didn't like a lot of its new entries,...

The only thing I would change is adding in the climax of Char's story from the movie back into episode 2, which I think cutting harms the narrative quite a bit. No first mention of Rose of Sharon, no Zeknova, no Sayla cameo etc. This is in addition to starting with Char's story as a point of...

Loved Freiren and FMP The Second Raid (Though it's been quite a while since I've seen the latter). Invisible Victory is pretty fun too, though its a huge bummer the franchise has been left hanging again anime-wise for several years now...

Probably relevant, if he is tired of live action it could all be animation. He's openly talked about, unfortunately IMO, wanting to make Shin Kamen Rider 2 and such so I think subtext here is that when it comes to live action he'll be doing stuff like that as opposed to more "experimental"...

Thanks.

Sometimes I wonder if you were meant to think Ritsuko might possibly be Gendo's daughter and not realize it. There's no real evidence for it though and probably would be too much anyways.

Don't think this has been posted yet, but an interview with Tsurumaki, Anno, and Enokido about GQuuuuuux and the movie version of the first few epsiodes was translated recently. It gives nice insight into how they're approaching their take on Gundam. There are some spoilers, particularly for the ge...

Yeah Straight Story is excellent. Probably the closest anyone ever got to recreating a John Ford movie. Ended up rewatching Eraserhead and Mulholland Dr. today, two of my favorites of Lynch’s. The former still doesn’t get enough credit for how amazing an accomplishment its soundscape is, and MD is s...

David Lynch has died. Don't even know what to say tbh. Just devastating.
