[Anime] has a new season, and you can kind of watch Urusei Yatsura instead.

    Kill la Kill was worth it just for Mako's uniform.

    Also Gamagori constantly changing size from one scene to the next without anyone remarking on it at all

    Yes, but how much bigger varies. In the flashback to when he met Satsuki he goes from abnormally large human sized to bigger than the literal building

    The funny thing is that fashion is literally used to facilitate class (and race) discrimination.

    But, uh, that's not exactly the direction Kill La Kill goes.

    God I wish this kid from the boonies show would’ve done a portmanteau of two random words in its title like most of these shows do, because it’s funny and I want to recommend it but I don’t want to type that entire title ever.

    having recently gone back and watched the original 3 gundam TV series, gundam's got a way lower hit rate for me than I expected given how much people talk about it.

    (Macross is way better)

    I find I enjoy Gundam more when I skip the episodes that drag.

    I might miss some key development but I usually catch up quickly.

    Gundam Thunderbolt is probably my favorite piece of Gundam media, ever.

    Full Armor Gundam is both incredibly rad and fucking TERRIFYING, and Io Fleming is probably my favorite character.
    He is such a charming, entitled, privileged, monstrous piece of shit who has good musical taste.

    I'm making my way (again) through the macross franchise! After going through 7, Frontier, and Delta, I am firmly on board with Frontier as the best one just because of the songs.

    I don't think Cells at Work is a Netflix original?

    The English side is 'simulcasting' a few days ahead of the Japanese broadcast. Or at least the first episodes were.

    My problem with Cells at Work is that every episode is the same thing. There's always some super disaster that turns out to be sneezing, or a splinter, or a cough, or a cold, etc etc, with one token new character. There's a ton of room for them to do something like specific disaster or horror movie parodies, or change the disaster so that it actually represents the malady in some way, or structure it more like a procedural where they're figuring it out, or even just go full Osmosis Jones, but it's always pretty much generic apocalypse with random monster germ so the white blood cell can show up. Like you could pretty freely totally swap a shitload of the factoids explaining the illness of the week on a bunch of episodes, and everything would still make sense, which just makes so many of them feel exactly the same.

    To be fair, it's meant to be an educational series, and "this is how illness X works" is going to be a solid part of that. That said, the second half of season 1 does move away from the monster of the week format, and Code Black focuses on more chronic illnesses (especially in the later parts.)

    Cells at Work hopefully has a bunch of episodes dedicated to T cells brutally murdering any cell suspected of potentially being infected.

    Black version does have the T Cells

    The Code Black depiction of an autoimmune disorder is...terrifying.
    They have a T Cell beat a hair cell to death, all while crying in frustration that they want to stop.

    Gamagori is as big as he needs to be, which usually entails being the largest person on screen.

    First time I heard it I realised at some point that the lyrics are supposed to be German and not a made up language. Most words are pronounced wrong so it took me a second to figure that one out. It is a great song as long as I ignore that part.

    Big same lol. Honestly there's a kind of charm to that too, but there are a couple of awesome covers by German speaking singers on YouTube that I go back to every so often.

    So I've been watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid tonight and... it's actually really quite good?

    Yeah it's pretty fuckin anime when it comes to a few things (those jiggle physics WHEW) but it's really delightfully wholesome, and thoughtful, and the dialogue is profoundly well written (and the dub is exceptionally well translated and localised!).

    Dragon Maid is a very good anime pretty much 100% of the time Lucoa isn't on screen.
