Akihiro Miwa is a legend. Fukasaku's Black Lizard and Black Rose Mansion are both incredible heaters, Miwa just devours every scene. Here's the scene where you get to see Miwa turn Yukio Mishima into a human statue. Best bond villain in history.

is anyone else stuck on that "???" boss in Delatune?

audio for my next video has been edited! looking to be one of my longer ones

my story "Sad Mecha Girls" is now available for free on Flash Fiction Online flashfictiononline.com/issues/june-...

I don't think I'm ever going to be happy with the way I read scripts, it always sounds off to me >.>

actually insane that my favourite piece of Votoms media ended up being Case Irvine, the 50 minute OVA from 2011 with the moe girl.

i love in anime when the proper nouns are like "in the oppressive future world of 20XX life is hard for those determined as F.A.G.S (Fully Automated General Servants). They are at the lowest of the low, thus, Bottoms. Gay sex." and you just gotta accept it.

If you're a creative and your project becomes a massively successful international phenomenon you either start typing like a Japanese salaryman sending an interoffice memo or make your characters canonically inflate to upset your parasocial fanbase

managing to avoid whatever is happening with the amazing digital circus by hyperfocusing animated sidequels to a robot show from forty years ago that no one talks about anymore

Votoms: Alone Again is a more high-energy affair than Phantom Arc, with much better storyboarding and animation, too. A less embarrassing note for Takahashi to go out on, but it's odd that it was in this interquel form (it only really exists to fill in a continuity gap)

Votoms Phantom Arc finished. What a weird, unnecessary, slog of an end to Chirico's story.

wild to me that this pretty much just what Votoms Phantom Arc looks like

wow. the whole gang is here.

Just finished Shining Heresy. Definitely my favourite of these OVAs so far, though I fully understand it’s marmite status.

our glorious mafty patriots.

oh lmao this is good stuff

Gosh darn Votoms: Brilliantly Shining Heresy looks beautiful. A visual style that doesn't exist anymore, and only did for a very brief time.

despite their beautiful animation, i'm finding the Votoms OVAs to be a mixed bag. the fixation on the Perfect Soldier concept from the series is a bir repetitive, and i feel like it constrains the world more than building it. curious what others think though, i never seem them discussed

what's even the point of anything if no translation exists of the Votoms choose your own adventure book from 1987

At long last! After another little delay, a new Computer Lab video! And a juicy one! Nathan explores what he henceforth dubs the ‘Gamer Folklore’ surrounding whether Mario Kart 64’s AI cheats or not & unpacks some of the history of this mystery. Be sure to watch to the end! youtu.be/phDkDM5k7zE?...

finished my Votoms rewatch. While I think the show could have done with a few less episodes (the pacing gets a bit wonky in the last stretch) the conclusion it ultimately reaches is probably one of the better endings in mecha fiction. quite an emotional epilogue, i think.

votoms guys are so cute

#ロボットの日 第一話を初めて観た時の感動は今でも

motivating every life decision, big or small, by going "loran cehack would want this for me" out loud

These guys are my favourite characters in Votoms. foppish evil administrative murder twinks who like doing experiments. this is a character archetype that should have caught on.

Gunbuster & Diabuster are the PREMIER outer space anime. Mecha was built on Dreams, optimism, & that big question "What if?". If you dream about mecha, then you are already an astronaut.

Been revisiting some Nagisa Oshima films this week.

honestly i find this reddit post very sweet. i do need to see I Love Boosters

Hauntingly beautiful all timer, and the slow pedestal movement up the Scopedog with all the rain pouring down, very minimal, but what more do you need for such a terrifically moody track?

as London sinks further and further into terf myopia, i wonder more and more if we should take Alan Moore seriously about Northampton being England's cultural centre. i mean, he did write Jerusalem there

We have a good time here in Versailles.

contemplating going to the dr who x rose of versailles musical at dokomi even though i don't speak german because holy shit

im bookpilled lately. we're reading kingsley amis. we're exploring jane austen for the first time. we're getting into evelyn waugh.

guess the Pyramid Inu America trip was a good call lmao

Never been able to get into any of the Ghost in the Shell anime, which I largely find kind of dry and too stoic. My enjoyment of the franchise exclusively resides in the manga, for grumpy lesbian Mokoto. Anyway uhhhh i'm pretty excited for the new show.

These 3 are driven to incorporate themselves in the adult order to escape a painful childhood but are unwilling to embrace the drudgery and anonymity of actual adult life. Their desire to be special in the adult order makes them suspensible to manipulators who promise to confer adult status to them

I'm not sure how textual this is, but I struggle to view Quess PARAYA as anything but suicidal. Can you imagine her living any sort of life ten years later? Jumping out of luxury onto a sinking ship, but at least on the ship people are charismatic.
