Watching the Gundam 0079 compilation movies as my first foray into the Gundam anime and drat Amuro was Shinji before Shinji huh (note I haven't watched Evangelion yet either).

Love the Guntank and Guncannon, RG Guntank when???

e: but also Tomino is indeed a major influence on Anno, he's a fanboy to the point that he was part of a CCA fanbook where he interviewed Tomino and comes off more enthusiastic about his work than the man himself.

watching high score girl right now. show is cute but I don't think I can watch someone get cucked this hard. Normally I don't mind a unrequited love plot line that much but hidaka is the best girl of this show and it's too much to bear.

She's the main character of the sequel/spin-off so there's hope for her the find her own good ending

you can see a lot of 0079 and Victory in Eva, though having just finished Ideon that 100% is another Tomino show that went into the Eva pot

it's honestly kinda cute

Chars counterattack is also one of anno's favorite films and a big influence on the conception of shinji and asuka I feel

I kinda thought Shinji was supposed to just be the concept of a mecha protagonist written through the perspective of “who the gently caress would actually pilot a mecha” which is also why the other two pilots are a deeply broken girl with legitimate mental problems who needs self-validation and Rei.

...huh yeah that kind of sounds like Char

Hidaka does the thing where "oh, you have an interest? Wha--what a coincidence I also enjoy That Thing!" becomes an excuse to be around someone all the time and also an attempted Bridge into something more and the drat kid is such a goober about it, to really heartbreaking degrees later on too.

Though it really is true on the sense of 'why the gently caress do I waste my time on this idiot?!'

Well, that's lovely, but I guess once it comes out of beta it'll be available to regular premium? Going by that wording anyway.

But who knows when that is.

Hey Im playing that game too!

Or was. I didnt like the combat so I set difficulty to the easiest setting but still kept dying to bosses and eventually gave up.

were you using like any of the super special attacks you get that melt health bars. there's a billion ways to break tokyo xanadu even on the highest difficulty, at least once you get three characters to build a party with. its biggest problem is that there's just a few characters who kinda suck to use for general combat but once you get sora you can kinda just use her for 90% of the game and she does so much raw damage the only reason to ever not use her is cause of elemental weaknesses

I think that was the big problem for me. I wasnt told it was a Ys clone, I was told it was a Persona clone. I dont like the gameplay in Ys.

Most likely not. Im notoriously bad at ARPGs and this one relies heavily on dodge/block timing and pattern recognition to build up those big attacks. My save is right before the second dungeon boss, which I used all my potions on and still couldnt beat at least a dozen+ times. :(

Is that what it is? (Tokyo Xandu I mean)

It looked sorta similar in art style to Ys but I was pretty sure Ys was fantasy.

Yeah it's Tokyo Xandu and it's made by Falcom so it's why the models look like Y's/Trials
