The manga ending isn’t a whole lot better in my opinion and was starting to run out of steam by the end (if I remember right the final chapter is literally just setup for a bad pun).

Ignoring the ending, the manga diverges significantly after the Battle for the Brew, and I think it's very much worthwhile to read those arcs, not only for the differences in plot, but also for the expanded role of various characters, including the side students Oxford and Kim, or all of the Death Scythes, and more complete character arcs for characters like Kid and Crona.

And even then the ending honestly isn't that bad, I'd just argue it feels a bit rushed and like one plot thread got dropped.

Fair. Come to think of it, did Kim even APPEAR in the anime version (I know she was in NOT at least)?

Also I forget, what was the dropped plot thread you mentioned?

She is in the anime, but like a lot of the side characters of the school, they don't really get fleshed out much or integrate into the main plot at all, unlike in the manga.

The dropped plot thread thing is moreso speculation rather than anything concrete, but before they characters went to the moon, Maka's dad gave her a ring, and it seemed like it was being set up for her to give that ring to Crona, but nothing happens with the ring at all. You could also probably argue that the Noah stuff feels anticlimatic/unfinished as well

me 10 years ago (fool): mechs would be super inefficient and overly expensive war machines that are only good at looking cool and therefore would never be made by the military, gundam is dumb

me today: mechs would be super inefficient and overly expensive war machines that are only good at looking cool and therefore would absolutely be made by the military, gundam is genius

One of the more surreal aspects of the world is that seemingly outlandish works of fiction often are more mundane than what actually happens. I thought Tiger King was an anime when I first saw it trending without knowing anything else and tbh I’m still halfway convinced that it’s a live actually adaptation of an anime.

half of some of the best gundam shows is jokes about how stupid gundam characters are

there's a guy in zz gundam who makes a big robot out of scrap with a cockpit that can rotate around the waist of the robot, and throughout the fight he brags about how useful his moveable cockpit is, and the thing that ultimately defeats him is that he gets dizzy from spinning his cockpit around so much

i like when the zz gundam itself is introduced and mashymre watches it go through its big transformation sequence and he just angrily shouts "I DON'T CARE HOW IMPRESSIVE YOUR MACHINERY IS." as he. stands still and lets it finish transforming.

Interrupting transformations is poor form. This is just as true in mecha anime as it is in magical girl anime.
