    To celebrate 20 years of Precure, there's this enormous digital mural:

    Enough is enough, is 20 years really not long enough to move on from Precure to the actual Cure? There's gotta be some shenanigans going on in this program...

    The funniest thing about PreCure will always be the season where they let some Tatsunoko dude do the character designs and animations for big episodes and he was just like "I'm gonna do Casshern in dresses, if that's okay with everybody."

    Is it any surprise that a show that is very deliberately reaching out to demographics that Gundam usually doesn't recognize exist is doing some numbers?

    Gotta assume this is Heartcatch? It's the one season that looks radically different from all the others.

    In time for the 30th anniversary, we have a haute couture Sailor Moon collection:
    Following Loewe’s collaboration with Howl’s Moving Castle, Jimmy Choo has unveiled a pretty slick collection inspired by Sailor Moon, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the renowned Manga and Anime series created by Naoko Takeuchi. The collection was assembled by Jimmy Choo's creative director, Sandra Choi, who aimed to pay homage to Takeuchi’s vision and the influence that her Manga has had on pop culture.

    The highlight of the collection has to be its bold boots, platforms, and pumps fashioned after the pastel colors of each of the Sailor Scouts. However, the collaboration also includes some cool bags and even an LP of Sailor Moon-inspired tracks put together by Honey Dijon.

    Like Loewe’s collaboration, these fashionable accessories from Jimmy Choo cost a grip, with some items priced as high as $1,605, and are only available at select Jimmy Choo locations.

    i gotta pay more attention when i watch again with my partner, but i didn't really find most of the suits besides ariel that interesting the first time around. Are there any standouts in the models?

    I think Gundam Lfrith from the prologue, Aerial, and Darilbalde are standouts. The Pharact is interesting once you get it out of the show where it's a dark silhouette on dark backgrounds. That's kinda it for me so far though. The Dilanzas are all steps down from the Daribalde and the two Earth Gundams are blah.

    This store ran out of Aerial kits so they just put up whatever they had. Then they ran out of those so they put up Aerial snacks.

    Yeah it felt like it ended a bit short but I really hope it gets another season, I think it was reasonably popular online it seems from all the memes about it

    That's definitely the bleakest and most upsetting part of the show, and also unless my memory is missing something, the only episodes (including 6 since it's a continuation/end of that story) with
    sexual violence
    but not the last time it'll murder a bunch of orphans to make you upset. Episode 7 is one of the strongest though, and much more bittersweet, but it is overall not an uplifting or hopeful affair.

    And miss out on the month long ghost horse revenge saga?

    Where a horse becomes the spirit of vengeance from being ridden to death right after giving birth and is only laid to rest when her psychic horse son uses its horse sense to break free and reunite with her?

    The plotting for that show was... Well, the 1960s were a different time.

    Reading Solo Leveling, unremarkable plotline but very nice art. I have to say though... you're just gonna lift the Chimera Ant concept that blatantly? Like... it's the same introduction even.

    I know a lot of people didn't bite on The Eminence in Shadow, but it finished its cour and a half (20 episode) run this week in spectacular fashion.

    They extended and conjured from whole cloth a bunch of cool fights, and also added some interesting scenes with (apparently) input from the original author in order to tease future developments that even the novels haven't explored yet.

    Compared to the manga it wasn't outrightly funny, but having read the manga, I was able to view the played straight edgelord melodrama through the lens of "none of this is actually serious; the MC is a dense sociopathic LARPer" and as a result enjoy the series on multiple levels. One, as a parody in my head, if not on the screen, of chuuni isekai nonsense, and two, as a high production action series. They seriously went all out with the budget and there were some amazing fights throughout.

    Yes. The butt punch season.

    Well, that season is considered one of the best ones of Modern Precure and Yoshihiko Umakoshi went on to design the characters of Saint Seiya Omega:
    a7cgwkmydv0c.png

    And later do designs for My Hero Academia, so I would say that it worked out great. His stylized artwork works great on fight scenes, where there's a lot of movement and the characters show in a blur.

    Hey, those end of credit artworks in Trigun Stampede, are they fan submissions or concept art? Because there's some wild shit happening in there...

    Also, do we know how many episodes its getting?

    If it's anything like most shows, usually famous artists and/or fan submissions.
