Serial Experiments Lain(1998) - started it a couple of months ago but it’s not really hooking me in. idea is interesting and we really like the weird world that it depicts, but somehow i have a hard time continuing it often. I’m halfway and it looks like the story is finally connecting so this might change soon.
It’s kind of a slow burn, so this sounds pretty normal to me. Fortunately, it’s a short show - take your time if you want to! Think about “what the fuck is going on in this weird ass show” during the time between episodes
Dragon Ball
Are you going to watch the movies, too? I feel like the second and third ones are pretty fun.
spoiler
What about the Republic of South Vietnam Thin Blue Line flag?
Anime
Berserk (1997 - 3/25): been meaning to read this first, but a podcast I like is doing this now so why not. I like what I’ve seen so far - might pick up the comic if I work through the stuff I’m currently reading
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (83/110): working my way to the last season. I knew about a while ago, but was still kinda sad when it happened.
Pingu in the City (11/26): 3dcg Japanese reboot of the claymation legend. My kid is a huge Pingu fan, so we’re working through this one together. She likes it, and Pingu is a little less of a little shit in these ones, so it’s pretty good!
SD Gundam 3 Kingdoms Brave Battle Warriors (6/51): kinda fun SD Gundam show, what else can I say
Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 (1/1): It’s a fun one-off 80s mecha OVA. Cool animation, nothing too questionable, only 40 minutes or so
Daitarn 3 (40/40): One of the earlier comedic shows Tomino did, but still has a lot of what you expect from his stuff (weird dialogue, awful parents). This one’s kind of a secret agent with a mech thing. Probably not near the top of my favorite Tomino shows, but still pretty good anime.
Manga
Working on Shin Getter Robo right now. Finished up Getter Robo Go a little while ago, and it was awesome!
I would say “would that be like anemones and corals” but they’re kinda cool little guys, too, y’know.
