That last part happens a lot in the dudes stories. In Inuyashiki, the old man and teen are obliterated because of an alien's fender bender so they put their consciousnesses into robot bodies and hightail it out of there before they get in trouble

There's a great fakeout in Gigant when she's getting dropped in by the army and she's wearing this sci-fi bodysuit and one of the troops says "It's a special fabric created by NASA, super elastic" and she starts growing and the bodysuit stretches with her until she gets to like 40 feet tall and the suit is just destroyed.

the final chapter is just a mess on multiple levels like there’s even a last minute revelation that no one needed where it’s revealed that the reason the Smiling Titan didn’t eat Bertholt when he turned back into a human at the beginning of the manga was because Eren used his power to force it to ignore him and instead eat Eren’s mother and start his whole crusade in the first place its not even the just the themes that got all hosed up it’s the whole drat thing lol

Snail on my head ready to go.
I watched a few episodes of way of the househusband on Netflix. The writing is good (because they stick close to the manga) but the animation is bad. It’s in a stop motion comic style which makes it come off as really cheap.

For those unfamiliar it’s about a former yakuza who got married to a normie and now takes care of the house while she works. Antics ensue.

No Space War but Space Class War. Newtypism isn't Marxism, it posits that just being in space will turn human beings into psychic empaths that will instantly understand each other and that will end conflict (something something communication over the vastness of space, it's constantly harped on). The shows themselves show that actually, no, material conditions are what put these people into conflict in the first place, and that can't be overcome by just "understanding." It's why there's so many dead girlfriends in the first place.

The Earth vs. Space conflict masks the underlying class conflict. There's still poor people on Earth who serve the neoliberal bureaucrats, and there's still rich people in Space funding armed groups like AEUG and Neo Zeon and eventually Cosmo Babylonia and the Zanscare Empire. Quattro Char fails because he can't imagine just murking the capitalists who told him to invade Jaburo instead of attacking Gryps.

Forced Space Colonism = Capitalism

No one who espouses Newtype Ideology calls for the expropriation of Anaheim Electronics.

Like it'd be one thing if the capitalists were shown to be exclusively Earthnoids and the Spacenoids exclusively working class. But it isn't. There's more nuance than that. The AEUG is literally run by capitalists who are upset that they don't have enough pull in the Federation government despite their wealth. Hell, by the time of F91 and Victory, Federation Government Officials have moved off Earth because it's a polluted shithole and live on the Moon, also headquarters of, you guessed it, Anaheim Electronics, which while no longer having a monopoly on the Military Industrial Complex, still designed and built the Victory series of Gundams.

poo poo, F91 is about a Colony Building Corporation secretly being run by Literal Aristocrats who want to build a new Cosmo Babylonia in the Colonies.

Never read Gantz, loved Inuyashiki, and I thought surely Gigant has to get good at some point? Then even the characters actively resist anything resembling a plot moving forward!

Zeon Zum Deikun was a dumbass who had more charisma than sense. No one assassinated him, not even the Zabis. He just worked himself to death.

Watching Gundam 00 right now. It’s very LOL. Still in the first season and the probably evil trinity gundams just showed up. Also, despite being released in the late 2000’s, the dub sounds like it was recorded at home because of COVID. A lot of characters voices have a very noticeable “talking with the microphone in my mouth in my home recording studio” sound.

It’s nice that the show has themes around the economic and material conditions that cause war (that the characters slowly seem to be realizing you can’t just fix by using your superior military technology to break everyone else’s toys) but with the arrival of the evil gundams, I fear the show is about to inject some of the franchise’s favorite bullshit instead of anything actually interesting.

while I don’t consider it canon, it is hilarious that The Origin implies that Zeon Deikun was a member of an objectivist philosophy circle around an Ayn Rand woman figure, like Alan Greenspan or some poo poo.

should also be noted that Newtype ideology was extremely easy to turn into a supremacist fascist ideology.

I assume Zeonic was state controlled.

It was after the fall of Zeon that federation privatized their industry by giving it over to Anaheim.

You could even say The Federation reverted to a more nationalist industry with SNRI as it got closer to collapsing.

There really was no left option in UC, either nationalism of Zeon or liberalism of Federation.

Char's enlightened despotism really might have been better than either of those, if he wasn't such a gently caress up.

Well, state controlled raises another question, which is who controls the state, and even in Zeonic’s case it’s definitely not a worker’s state.

But yeah, there’s really no left option. Even Char’s Neo Zeon is a joke, he can’t fully commit to an actual revolution of any kind, his ploy to drop Axis on Earth seems more like an elaborate murder/suicide for his rival and himself. He has no interest in how this post asteroid drop Earth Sphere is going to be governed or by whom.

poo poo just devolves in the UC to the point that somewhere between Victory and G-Reco there’s like literal cannibalism.
