    Sigh. Apparently it's the week for it, because the author of Galko-chan (which was crude but charming in its own weird way) has also been busted for possession of child pornography. Stuff like this is why I'm increasingly hesitant to mention I enjoy the hobby at all, because the gross side is never far from view, and often serves to mask truly heinous shit like this.

    i understand the mindset here but this is any industry in which powerful men are entrenched; roman polanski released an award winning movie in 2019

    Complete agree, but also, there's a reason this thread has specific rules about not talking about the gross shit, because there's a good chance people would, and have, and were the reason anime threads were banned. Just bums me out that I can't really be enthusiastic about Ousama Ranking because it shares a fandom space with Redo of Healer.

    The Fullbringer arc had some pretty good psychological horror in it, so I've got a bit of a soft spot for it even if the rest of it was just kind of... meh.

    Tsukishima, though. Kubo can write some good powers sometimes.

    Kenpachi is simultaneously the least funny character in the series and also the most hilarious when he gets screentime.

    I've been reading some manga lately

    Inertia 67% - Way more NSFW humor than I normally put up with, but somehow it ends up pretty charming? It's a group of art college friends who are mostly held together because one of them has an apartment conveniently close to campus, which means it's the go-to drinking party apartment. They're all a bit trash and very non-moe, it's like an anti- Honey and Clover. Like there's one guy who's decent looking and wants to have sex and wants to have a girlfriend but he's too puritanical to get the former and too afraid of rejection to get the latter, and in most other series he'd be the protagonist and we'd be expected to sympathize with him, and in this series instead everyone just finds him fucking annoying, because he is. But yeah, a lot of nsfw content, especially the chapter pages, so caution.

    Spy x Family - I mean everybody already knows this series is great. I was just holding off cuz it's nice to have a good series in your back pocket to pull out when things are stressful. So I pulled it out this week, and, yeup, it's great, and now I've got a big ol' backlog to read through! It's such an odd unique mix of wholesomeness, comedy, and surprising bursts of violence. Anya's a brilliant comedic character.

    Blank Space - One girl can create things (except invisible) with the power of her mind. One girl is constantly lost in her overactive imagination. They become friends. You'd think that'd be enough for a series right there, but instead it turns into a much realer story about bullying and depression and not knowing how to pull your friend out of a darkening loop of revenge fantasies. Just like everything about this series is better and smarter and more thoughtful than you'd expect, I really like it.

    A Sign of Affection - Really a pretty standard shoujo romance story, with the interesting twist that the main character is deaf, and her love interest is a Canadian exchange student. It still does a bunch of the shoujo romance tropes that annoy me, enough that I don't think I'm gonna stick around for the more interesting character bits about deafness, but, eh, not bad if you're into that sorta story.

    found an old manga volume my sister got *ages* ago and one chapter involves Ryoko getting a job at actual literal McDonalds, getting fired because she retaliated on customers hitting on her, and then inadvertently helped start a window-washers union.



    ryoko good.

    Well universe and Tokyo are alt canon but if you really want to know about Muyo
    They all got married in the last OVA

    Not to justify it, but this is because Juraians are polygamists(see Ayeka's father).

    From what I remember, the Eva units are actually on the larger side for mecha anime, while admittedly the scale in-series is all over the place.

    Evangelion's robots vary in size by like a x4 factor depending on what would look better in a frame, so using them as a size example is a touch less useful than probably intended :P,

    I actually looked it up after that post, and in the original series the scale did indeed vary wildly, but the Rebuild movies did standardise the size at about 80m, which is about 4x the size of Mazinger Z and 1/3 the size of Gunbuster.

    Gunbuster feels more like a spaceship that transforms into a giant robot than vice versa, if that makes any sense. Similar vibe to the much larger Dimensional Fortress Macross in that regard

    It's also cool when there's several vehicles and then they connect up to become a robot.

    You're all wow this is fun but how are they gonna punch that way bigger monster? And then they become a robot and you're like, ah, ok, now I understand. And then the punching begins.

    Ladd Russo's English voice actor just goes for it.

    In terms of the giant robot talk, I think the Full Metal Panic robots are pretty small comparatively? I haven't seen it in forever though, but I seem to remember them only being a few stories tall or something. Also that one season he spent piloting a tricked out mascot costume.
