VOY: it's a silly sight gag but Chell (the blue bolian) wearing red/blue 3d glasses and looking at his hands makes me laugh every time.

I love my cat, btw. She is very baby.

MSVG: so this lady that got exiled (into space! With just a suit and 3 days rations!) Is back and in control of this very powerful and larger MS while wearing bells like those who would be forced to wear them in the way to the guillotine She passed by a grunt and HE CROSSED HIMSELF and I […]

MSVG: I must note something about Victory that stands out to me. Its cast is super diverse. Spacenoids, earthnoids, nationalities, race, color, old, young, pretty equal gender numbers. A lot of representation for a 90's anime. And no stereotyping that I've noticed. Refreshing.

I think if I ever do another Gundam franchise watch-through, I'm skipping Victory unless they end up making a compilation movie(s) out of it. But I am determined to finish this first watch. Painful as it is :blobcat_beret_coffee:

Must say there is something so beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each […]

[Big MSVG spoilers and also gruesomeness] So I kinda read ahead and knew what was going to happen but holy shit what happened to Uso's mom. Crushed under the wheel of a battleship, decapitated at the same time. Her (thankfully helmeted) head flying off with blood trailing behind it. A cease […]

In lighter news, I like "Deliver Us the Moon" so far. *mutters John madden repeatedly under my breath*

[Mh-] Nothing like a 2am anxiety attack which prompts an emotional breakdown. Woof.

MSVG: I don't get how you can have 51 episodes of TV show and yet completely pack any subtlety in characterization and motivations. Katejina has gone from kidnapped ally to ace enemy pilot that hates the main kid Uso with a passion because he.... gets stronger every time they fight? Or […]

Did finally get to sleep btw. Wow I went hard on Victory didn't I? Oh well time for more!

Sorry for the Gundam spam. Kinda can't seem to fall asleep and well.... it's turning into a really wild ride. :blobcat_party:

MSVG: I just can't How does this exist What

MSVG: another shrike down. This show is just throwing trauma at the main kid and I don't know how he ain't broken yet. (He's broken)

MSVG : I don't know why it amuses me but the Zanscare forces call the Gundam "the white bastard" :blobcat_amused: :blobcat_beret_coffee:

MSVG: Oh geez. The new mothership for the guerilla forces is... so very phallic. Three suit launch catapults surrounding a big rounded center section. Woof. :blobcat_business:

..... i need to play xenogears again. With the perfect works patches. Been meaning to try those forever.

MSVG: had a thought randomly. I know it's obvious Xenogears (lesser extent -saga and beyond) was highly inspired by mecha anime, but as far as mech designs go, I had no idea just how much inspiration various Gundam origin mobile suits provided. Which makes sense given my until now limited […]

[Mobile suit victory gundam spoilers i guess] MSVG: i shouldn't be surprised but this show can really get full of itself. Shitty gender role garbage that isn't ironic. It's also veering Marbet into some shitty character territory. Not quite Reccoa but getting there. And remember that […]

My 3am brain: "gosh I can't wait to get to Witch from mercury "-> hmm is that it's own era? -> wait is Mercury the planet tidal-locked *checks wikipedia*

The competing non-binary need to play videosgame but also just go the fuck back to bed

VOY: once the midas/pathfinder monthly mailbag is established, they should have had a scene during a briefing or something where they were like "ok, so, do we wanna switch to the new uniform style?" And like debated it for five minutes. Just for fun.

VOY: oh, hey. "Fury". *skip*

Is it weird that I'm just wanting Victory to be over because then it's time for the utter batshit that is G-Gundam?

@CactuarJoe i think you'd like the victory type Gundam. The kid pilot's got a maneuver where they undock the modules to attack from... multiple vectors. If you get my meaning. :blobcat_coffee:

MSVG: i know it's a 90s anime but introducing the literal Queen of the Zanscare Empire in a clip episode? Really?

Eepy

Oh thank goodness, this pack of aldi water doesn't taste like badly filtered tap :blobcat_cookie:

VOY: time for voyager's lower decks episode!

MSVG: just to show you how mood whiplash this dumb show is, 10 seconds after this scene the lady pilot is explaining the death of her brother and parents in front of her eyes. Woof.

DA WHEEL decrees: Deliver Us The Moon! I know nothing about this other than it's a narrative adventure type game. I think.

So hey, I finished Rogue Legacy 2! Which isn't quite the end as there's a NG+ system that leads to the true ending, but involves making each run harder on yourself and doing it 7(!) times to do it. (or just use the handy provided "unlock" button if you can't be arsed) Question is... do I care […]

VOY: I've been thinking about the kinda random addition of Janeway "cooking" and i can't tell if it's an interesting addition or just some idiot (berman?) Trying to make her more feminine as a result of pushback or something. Of course she burns water because two master chef captains in a row […]

Me: "let's watch some wholesome escapist entertainment about robots and space" MSVG: *laughs in hyper fash oppression govt* Me: fuck

MSVG: those of you participating in the Military Physical Abuse drinking game, you may now take a drink. Also, a new all-woman team of pilots has been introduced. All hot of course. One's even named after Kate Bush!

MSVG: did i mention the Zeon 3.0(4.0?) Expy is famous for using a literal guillotine on dissidents and anyone that fails too much? Yeesh.

MSVG: there's this lady, Marbet, who keeps having to fly the core fighter while injured because Uso keeps running away and heyyyy this sound familiar hmmmm

VOY: oh well time for Kim Rhodes! One of those characters they should have kept. Somehow.

The Franklin Expedition, 1845-48

VOY: hey can I get uhhhh a Voyager rewrite where we ditch icheb and keep mizoti? She's fun.

MSVG: the heroes are guerilla fighters so you see amusing things like them strapping MS size guns to trucks to make ground fire support.

VOY: time to introduce the Borglings! ....ah heck that's another actor gone shit iirc

Apropo of LRT, i hope Zoe Quinn is doing well.

VOY: the Rock HAS COME BACK to the Delta Quadrant

MSVG: deffo not wowing me yet. (Only 2 episodes in tho) The animation quality is a step back from everything (which makes sense as this is the first TV production since ZZ). I read this was also a kind of forced effort on the creator's part to sell toys for corpo. I do kinda like the new […]

VOY: "Virtuoso" is a great episode. My only complaint is the aliens being painted so one-dimensionally. Would have been neat for some to realize the emotional content of the Doctor's music while the rest went gaga over the New Hotness
