    So they got a big Gundam event, the Gundam Fan e-Festival, going on for the next few weeks, and as part of it Gundam Info has put up for streaming:

    All of Witch From Mercury


    All five G-Reco movies (this is basically your only chance to officially see these without paying for a hundred plus dollar per movie Blu-ray I am not joking)


    And all of Turn A Gundam:


    The festival runs today through December 10th, which given usual Bandai events means that these will likely cycle out of rotation after (not sure about G-Witch, but definitely G Reco and Turn A)

    it can be totally standalone, honestly

    its "technically" part of the UC->Turn A timeline, but it so far removed from all of it it's effectively its own thing

    Yeah if someone tells you "technically" a gundam show is in a timeline with some other gundam show specifically because of Turn A being the connective tissue, it's not really. They just had some fun with ideas about eternal cosmic cycles in Turn A.

    Oh also Ancient Magus Bride season 2, I dunno how many people are both watching the show and haven't read the manga, like me, but this latest episode kind of dropped a bomb. (For reference it's S2 Episode 20)
    It is not outright stated but it is kind of implied that there is ancient extremely powerful fae goddess that uh... kind of expects both Elias and Chise to produce a child which will then belong to her. While I'm pretty sure this goddess appeared a few times in the periphery in season 1 I don't recall this particular goddess having any major interactions with the cast before. (I should probably rewatch season 1 at some point.)

    And Chise doesn't seem to understand even what the goddess is asking yet while Elias' internal thoughts upon the situation are "Oh Fuck. Oh Shit. Oh No." I doubt it'll come back to anything before the season ends. I suspect like a bunch of stuff in Ancient Magus Bride it is setup for things much, much later.

    Also Ancient Magus Bride season 2 may not have worst anime father but I feel it has a strong contender for worst anime mother/grandmother. And uh no it's not Chise's mom.

    I'm not being exactly literal but Nanami died because he chose to continue doing a job that well... killed him. It's admirable, in a way. But it's also really sad.

    I've been watching Frieren with my kids; just got to episode 10, and while I've read the manga so knew what was going to happen, they didn't.
    Watching their faces as they found out what had happened in the past, and what that meant about was going to happen in the battle with Aura, was _great_. There was a lot of grinning going on, let me tell you.

    Thinking about it, I also like how there's a sort of parallel between the storyline within this episode, and the overall storyline to this point; Frieren has, for a thousand years, been keeping her real power hidden away, and appearing like a much less powerful mage, so that when the time comes to need her full power, it's ready.

    Meanwhile, the episodes of the show (chapters of the story) have been fairly low-key and relatively peaceful, until this episode (and the previous one) where all of a sudden things got a lot more energetic, and the show had the big action sequences waiting, it just didn't show them to us until the show was ready.

    Finished SPTO…
    I loved it, I love how it used what can often be a lazy time travel trope to instead give space to let Ramona breathe and take a look at her emotional baggage and growth opportunity, ultimately coming back around to inform how she wants her “current” relationship to be and providing a lens through which Scott also has to face what he’s capable of with the knowledge that he doesn’t have to be that, but also that it is inside him so he is aware of needing to continue to work on himself and think of others for his own emotional growth. Just superb.

    Griffith just got reunited with the behelit and I put the book down. What if the rest just didn’t happen. What if we never find out what Zodd meant about some silly eclipse. What does he know? What if I just pretend Guts and Casca got to be happy.

    Probably best episode of the week.

    As a manga reader:
    This chapter went so incredibly hard, my expectations were sky high, and the anime delivered. Anime in recent years is seriously super impressive elevating the author's vision when the work gets adapted.

    While anime will always be bad, it's also never been better.

    After the credits:
    Tiny Yor and Yuri was the perfect follow up. We'll balanced episode all around.

    Ryoko kui is actively a genius. And that's not being said lightly, she's really good. The level of work she puts into characters, creatures and how they move, how they work - hell, look at the obvious research that's gone into food (she does food from all over the world too)

    The answer, as it seems, is yes. (I mean she killed a couple of people last episode too but many she brutally killed just so many people this episode.)

    In general the manga is extremely matter of fact about how incredibly fucked up shit can be, especially for women. Like there's never any dwelling on it, no fetishistic violence or whatever going on - simply Maomao being very open about it and very inured to it all, like it was all Tuesday.

    Those were some extremely good chapters.

    Now I am just waiting for Gege to make them to not amount to anything yet again, because I already have PTSD from reading this manga, in which every single success of protagonists turns out to be either pointless or makes things actively worse.

    Undead Unluck chapter 185:

    I love this manga.

    I love this so fucking much.

    I need to finally write my big post selling it, so I can convince at least one person more to give it a chance despite its terrible beginning, because right now it is the best shonen manga being written.
