Goku is a fascist

He's basically a fascist who is a good person because he has brain damage. He's heroic specifically because he is a retard, a profound rejection of the notion of the fascist ubermensch in favor of the primordial and transcendent heroism of the himbo.

Yeah but I just finished that.


I decided to watch some episodes of Girls Und Panzer for the sports anime to watch next and I like how the main character is so far pretty much the same as the one from Gun Buster, so I’m in familiar territory… if I’m wrong and it just seems that way don’t spoil Girls und Panzer for me.

The Girls und Panzer girl never falls for a guy, because very little exists in the world of Girls und Panzer other than girls and tanks. Like, there's a long sequence about a C-130 cargo plane, and one of the OVAs has a Monty Python bit, but that's basically it for non girls or tanks content

There’s just no way to animate anyone popping out of a tank hatch while it’s moving and for it to not look insanely cool.

big agree. they were super-advanced, automated Buster Machines themselves that were designed to keep the old space monsters out and humans in Sol, right? been a few years since I've seen it.

I dont remember if they were meant to keep humans in, but they were def meant to keep any space monster out. The robot girl co-lead got heavily damaged during an incursion and without her functioning correctly the automated defense system she was the core of went haywire.

I went completely blind into diebuster when I was in college, a friend saw the first episode with me after he had seen all of it already. I kept noticing that the robot girl was splitting things in half and I asked him if that was her super power. He looked me with wide panicked eyes.

lol gently caress you viz; I thought I ordered the first season of sailor moon, but I actually ordered half the first season and a cardboard cutout that says: “Season 1 part 2 goes here.”

I only ever saw like 3 episodes of Sailor Moon when it was in syndication on UPN I think and I was like 5.

this is remarkably close to the original experience except you don't have to worry about aging out of paying any attention to it before it wraps up.

Been a while since I watched it but I really appreciated the big reveal where it turns out the reddish appearance of outer space wasn’t a stylistic choice, but actually a giant barrier

Me and some friends watched most of Girls Und Panzer today, and we enjoyed most of it except the fight scene eluded to in episode 1 and carried out in episode 3 or whatever with the British school where the CG is animated at a super weird frame rate and made us all feel weird.

No cartoon even looks like that. The way they manipulate the panels might make sense for adapting a comic book, but Cowboy Bebop wasn't a manga.

I meant cartoon as in the characters speak in dumb quips, and it also sounds like they were dubbed over for some reason? Also the action feels slapstick, they're moving all awkwardly and poo poo. Dumb swish and boioiong noises. Just stupid.

Also in that frame immediately after he sees Vicious (presumably), Cho looks loving ooold as gently caress. Lmao, 50yo Spike
