    Yeah that's a bummer but he definitely left an indelible mark on the industry. His work on Daft Punk's Discovery stuff is pretty much legendary even setting aside his body of manga works

    Awwwww jeez, this one really hits me. Galaxy Express 999 is one of my favorite anime movies, right up there with Castle of Cagliostro and Spirited Away. Goddamn...

    There is roughly four good scenes in the entire series.

    Two additional ones I happen to like because I have questionable taste.

    It's definitely not a high point in the series. Music is pretty good tho.

    I can't remember what manga this was, but there was some series I read where at one point the characters visit a theme park or something themed around Matsumoto's work, and I think meet Matsumoto himself during it?

    The author did it because they were such a fan of Matsumoto, and even contacted Matsumoto who gave his blessing and I think drew a page of it or something?

    Does anyone remember what series this was?

    I am sort of Huh about this. Like i want more zoids. 110%, gimme more Zoids, because it's a setting with a ton of potential.

    but do i actually care about Van and the Guardian force crew etc? No, not really. what i want from Zoids at this point is a G-Witch equivalent or similar, do a new Zoids show that's dedicated to being a quality production

    Re latest Vinland Saga episode, I'm surprised Einar knows the name Yahweh. I always had the impression that that was pretty uncommon knowledge in the middle ages since it was considered blasphemous to use in basically any context.

    Nier: Automata Ver1.1a is back, finally! Episode 4 points of interest.

    General notes:
    -It's interesting how the show depicts things accurate to the game, even when it isn't strictly speaking necessary. There was no particular reason to show that the route to the Amusement Park is blocked and you get there through the sewers, but they did so anyway (without explicitly explaining in the dialogue).
    -With that said, they did speed through the Amusement Park to the end. No Goliath Tank and no roller coaster ride. Not exactly megaton narrative events, but I bet the animation for the roller coaster would have been good... maybe they'll do it in the return trip later in the story?
    -Speaking of animation, I really enjoyed the fight animation once again. Very high speed and exciting.
    -Next week: Pascal unless they take a swerve.

    Superfan commentary:
    -Hmm... who is the Commander talking to? Is there an actual Moonside Command AI? Or is that the Red Girls doing a YouTube Prank Channel on her?
    -Lots more detail to the hacking attack on the Mad Songstress boss, I enjoyed the creepy visuals (but would have appreciated some kind of indication of how the Jean-Paul interactions went. I imagine laughably cruelly, that guy is THE WORST.
    https://youtu.be/Dc_6dlY5Qnk
    -Gee, 9S is really interested in humans and really dismissive of Machine lifeforms. Good thing he's much more closely related to the former than the latter, or else that could really blow up in his face! *collar tug*

    The galaxy express movie was the first anime I ever saw. It was on spike or tnt for like a japanimation weekend and I was just like "wtf am I watching?!" That was a long time ago though. Pretty sure before even pokemon came out.

    Nozaki-kun is a very silly gag manga with an insightful feminist thesis running right under the surface

    Its kind of crazy that it exists

    I hope it's not gonna be one of those stories where they have no ideas for what to do after the relationship is settled and so just clumsily end the comic/draw out the will they won't they until they get cancelled. I mean what is this, the 00's?

    I managed to make time to see the Kaguya-sama movie on the 15th. It was really good!

    It was essentially four episodes cut together focused on one plotline, with side character plotlines alluded to but otherwise neglected for runtime and pacing reasons. The production values were excellent, but not wildly better than the anime itself, which was already very good on an episode to episode basis.

    Saw this yesterday, it had one more day to go up here in Canada. Very quiet cinema, there were seven people in the theater in all, so I can see why it had a short run.

    And, yeah, while they didn't literally show the start/end credits multiple times, I'm curious as to what'll happen if/when season 4 happens, because this feels very much like what would be the start of season 4, just edited together.

    They did do a very good job of picking enough chapters to make a complete chunk of storyline, without feeling like they had to pack too much into not enough time. (I can't remember what else was going on in the plot back when the manga came out so if it was missing things I didn't notice them)

    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.

    Aaaand... second season:
