    Zeta has things to say about gender, and it's all completely embarrassing.

    There is a thread connecting zeta, victory and turn a as tomino grows older and comes in to a better understanding of how to write women and what he wants to say about gender dynamics in the upper structures of society

    Early victory has one of the best standalone episodes of gundam ever

    The highs of Victory are only matched by its lows.

    Without excusing that one character, I think zeta has far worse low points than victory, because victory low points are still in service of the actual theme, unlike some of zeta's more dire moments

    I agree that Zeta is also very uneven and has some very bad Gender Politics.

    Didn't the Zeta compilation movies straight up omit like two female characters too? Which isn't even the worst offense those movies commit.

    Well, something to remember about Gundam in general (not just Zeta and Victory) is that just because a character says something, that is not the creator/writer endorsing it.

    A lot of the messiness of Zeta is because people just fucking say things and there's often no explicit condemnation of it by other characters so it's on the audience to understand that something is bad, actually.

    For years I (and a lot of others) have been saying that Trigun needed the FMA:Brotherhood treatment so that Trigun Maximum could get animated.

    Instead we're getting a prequel, and they changed the design of one of my favorite character designs in anime.*

    Fortunately it's like a year away so I'll have time to separate the show from what I wanted it to be and what it is, but first impression is disappointing.

    *Edit: Yes, I'm aware that in the manga Vash gets several different coat designs, but they all kind of follow the same general theme. Also his arm wasn't noticeably robotic (though this point could be due to being a prequel and he'll upgrade to a slimmed down model later or something).

    Speaking of Beastars, it was a shame how the final arc was... not great. Especially how the point after the anime ends has some of my favorite bits of writing and character moments in the whole series.

    If only it could have resisted the inevitable urge to turn into a fighting manga and just given me like arcs and arcs of a broke ass highschool dropout with a criminal record living in a sketchy ass apartment building with his equally broke fellow tenants. Cause that shit was great.

    Is it a prequel? At this point I'm still in the *Squeee* phase, so I know nothing about the plot or anything like that.

    Still, good a time as any to do something I've wanted to do for a while:

    That was just kind of the assumption, since there's a bunch of Trigun manga that hasn't been adapted

    But there have been a couple things here and there that suggest a prequel, like his wanted poster

    Wow, Tomo-chan's manga ended years ago. Even the full English release has been out for a while. Surprised it's getting an adaption now, though it was really popular.

    almost, but it's actually even sillier
    Four gets a really reduced role, but Rosamia gets killed off in her first appearance, which is before she ever gets to speak or interact with Kamille

    despite this, she still shows up for the ghost newtype teamwork moment at the very end??? Thanks, mystery lady

    Disagree. It has a unique (as far as these power fantasy genres go) vibe to it for the first half. It's really good popcorn fiction.

    My problems crop up later with both power creep and the uselessness of all other characters.

    I've also seen reports that, once again, the air flow in the artist alley is miserable

    Kind of like what happened a number of years back when an artist actually collapsed in the hall from the heat, except you know, there's also a pandemic

    Nah, you have to go to Anime North to see those.

    alt-post: If the CO2 levels keep rising, the attendees report seeing some... (confusion is a symptom of a severe case.)

    alt-alt-post (sigh): at this latitude? At this time of year? Localized entirely within this convention hall?

    Just endorsi? :P

    And then inexplicably Rachel wins the tournament just to piss off the entire fanbase.

    But seriously, we're expecting a "one per family" endgame here, right?
    If Rachel shows up there's gonna be people yelling. If she actually wins the tournament reality itself will sunder from the collective howl of rage.

    I think Trigun looks neat, but I can't help but want something more nostalgic to take me back to watching burned DVDs of the original series sourced from kazaa lite as a 12 year old

    But I reckon I'll like it well enough anyways

    The new look is fine to me, it still reads pretty easily as Vash tho I suspect it's mostly to sell toys and statues of the new ver.
