Gundaminfo put all of Turn A Gundam up on Youtube, so I've been doing a rewatch and it's such a fun series. It's so instantly compelling and the Yoko Kanno music is perfect. Though there is some weirdness with continuity around episode 20-25.

they're all skippable, and the one that was CG is particularly egregious because it is actively hideous to look at



there's a fair amount of CG anime I do enjoy, I don't inherently dislike it. so it brings me no pleasure to say that the CG FLCL looks like dogwater

i got bored with nirvana initiative. i think it's a weak show because it kind of twists in two directions and doesn't quite fulfill either. the first half leans hard on the wacky hornball comedy while the back half is a more normal superhero adventure story, but the show makes a lot of swings at more genuine emotional beats based around the relationships of the cast that i don't think it really sets up well enough to land all that effectively since so much of it is premised in relationships the main character has that aren't really explored all that well because of how they spend like, the first three episodes purely on the hornball comedy. it's unfocused in a way where the ending always just felt deeply unsatisfying to me because i never felt like it did a good job getting me invested enough in its bullshit to make its bullshit feel earned

none of this is for a lack of being able to enjoy uchikoshi's wacky bullshit either, i love the first ai and a lot of why i love it is for how stupid it can be

Making Nirvana Initiative intentionally like, wipe the slate clean with the cast so people could play it without playing the original was dumb as heck and I hate it.

It's 100% because the original sold real poorly in Japan partly due to the violence giving it a very high CERO rating, which is also why NI is less violent despite being about people getting torn in half.

Like straight up, if they wanted a clean slate, make it clean. Don't bring ANYONE back and make it fully standalone.

Somnium Files is the first game, nirvanA Initiative (I insist on using the proper capitalization) is the sequel

When people say Somnium Files, they're usually referring to the first game. Nirvana Initiative is the sequel.

And yes.

There's good parts of ZTD, I really like that one sequence with C-Team (and the conceit of the ending), but it's a very ugly game and there's at least one indefensible twist
