I'll do what practically nobody else has done and recommend 0083: Stardust Memory. It's not that great, and it has a really bad romance plot - but the animation and direction is some of the best in terms of pure military mecha action, and it teases enough from the rest of the UC timeline to get you interested in the rest of the series, which is all actually better than 0083 so you have something to look forward to. People call it "Top Gundam" because it really is a slice of 80s military fantasy in the same vein as Top Gun and Tom Clancy novels. The only thing stopping it from being right wing polemic is the fact that everyone has to turn into a fascist by the end.

But it's really great at portraying the Zeonic remnants and the kind of bureaucratic corruption that the UC timeline is known for. Anavel Gato is a really good character study of a moron who instrumentalizes himself to history in the sake of some inherited ideal that only makes everything worse, and Cima Garahou is a 10/10 baddie.

I can't imagine being a Japanese King of the Hill fan period.

Are there even people in Japan who like King of the Hill? I would think the humor would be pretty far from what Japanese tastes are suited to.

It's about to get a lot sadder. :twisted:

The whole Farmland Arc is an incredible anti-slavery narrative because it directly confronts the idea of a "good master" head on. Ketil may be a softhearted kind of guy, but at the end of the day he still views the property relations to his slaves as his due, especially when it comes to Arnheid. He's kind to Thorfinn & Einar and gives them an out to buying their freedom, but it's still for purely self-serving and profit-seeking reasons. Ketil is aware at some level that slavery is counter-productive and acts more like a bourgeois landlord than a proper Norseman, but he still reifies the system by submitting to the expectations of society.

I finished watching the Princess Principal tv run (same writer as G-Witch) and it's one of the best spy thrillers I've seen. It never even breaks down to the level of cute girls doing cute things, it's straightforward espionage for almost every episode.

If you haven't seen it, the premise is that the English won the 100 Years War and have a higher tech industrial revolution thanks to cavorite, which is a material that has anti-grav properties. But because the technology was heightened, so was the immiseration, and the UK has a communist revolution that splits the country into a socialist Commonwealth and the rump state of Albion & its colonies. The cast serves the Commonwealth, and there's even an episode where they turn a laundromat into a co-op. So I've got my fingers crossed that G-Witch is gonna get even more explicitly leftist after what happened in the Earth episode.

There's not gonna be a second season, instead it's a planned 4 film (55 minute runtime) series, which has been delayed thanks to Covid. So only the two have been released since 2021.

They pretty much planned it like one big 100-episode series run that changes cast mid-way.
