    I want to say that manga fans felt Stampede was 1) closer to it in tone despite 2) being it's own loose adaptation. Are either of these the case? I didn't watch it past a few episodes - nothing against it, I just lost track and never got back to it. I thought it was fine for a property I was never super into, but it did indeed bring me back to the OG anime, which I think definitely stands the test of time given my nephew was watching alongside and having a good time, too.

    Who/what are Dana, Glitch, Knights of Guinevere, Park Planet, etc.?

    Certainly seems more interesting than that other thriller miniseries that I saw the other day, His and Hers. Started out strong, then ended on a stuuupid twist that made the entire endeavor not worth it at all.

    In the Robotech Battlecry game, it's referred to as the prototype "YF-1R" and shares the top spot stats-wise with the VF-1S.

    Rerelease. This came out long after the 1/72 weapon set did; a quick way to tell the difference, since they are so similar, is that the micro-missiles for the missile box come as individual missiles on the 1/48 (pictured) and a single piece on the 1/72. IIRC the 1/48 also excludes the pilots since they are included with the base 1/48 fighter kit.

    Just got back from seeing this. It's a more straight forward, slightly less ambitious but also slightly less opaque film than its predecessor. It keeps up the consistently good quality the other two established. I hear the sequel has already been greenlit, which is fine in my book; I'll be looking forward to it.

    Any places to get this? The only store I can find is Gundamit. Not that I dislike them, but just I would have expected to see it elsewhere as well. Maybe not USAGS, but at least Gundammodelcenter or whatever its new store is. 1/144 and 23cm, that's pretty big. I'm not super familiar with the AOZ designs, is this thing new to the reboot? From the original?

    Before I click on that, yes.

    Ah yes. In hindsight the context clues are obvious. "Hasegawa Death Stranding kit," oof.

    Hasegawa made a Death Stranding kit? I heard of the trike, but I thought that was Koto or Moderoid...?

    Caught up on Demon Slayer. Mild spoilers, mostly tagging for a wall of text: But blah. It eventually finds its way back on track, and it's been a fun ride overall. Here's hoping the finale trilogy movies meet expectations.

    What is "Tronime"?

    The above links to it, but here's the actual interview: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2025-12-19/crafting-a-film-about-social-media-induced-trauma-with-macross-creator-shoji-kawamori/.231248

    The humor isn't landing for me. I initially thought it's just because I'm old, but after some more consideration, I think the show is just bad at it. The timing is weak, the dialogue choice is poor... It may have worked better for a younger and/or more Japanese audience, but I'm tuning out those sections. Zenitsu is annoying as duuuuuuuck. I'm eagerly awaiting the story getting past this early phase so he can become tolerable.

    I know I'm super late to the party, but I finally watched the first ten or so episodes of Demon Slayer. I find it kind of refreshing, being so blunt and straight forward. I think it was someone here who described it as being exactly what it says on the tin, and no truer words have been spoken. These opening episodes don't drag things out at all. We go from character introductions to inciting incident to training arc in pretty quick succession. I also appreciate that, for the most part, the show seems to eschew the intricate magic/skill systems that other shounen come up with. No super saiyan modes, no Amakakesomething-something from Hiten MitsuThis or That style to master, no chakra and the various elemental affinities, etc. Just... build up your endurance and strength through months and months and years of rigorous repetition. Unexpectedly realistic and unglamorous given the fantastical setting. Even the special breathing, the closest that comes to evoking said magic system, is really just slight window dressing on aforementioned rigorous training. I finally see the elemental effects in action, and seeing it just reinforces how funny the controversy is surrounding it. I love it.
