Maaaaaaaaan…

So far, I’ve been content to let Tsurumaki’s pace carry me, but unlike FLCL which kinda had no expectations placed upon the viewer and the intended viewing experience was to just go with the flow, GQX is building upon decades of narrative and lore that at this point are kinda essential for context, so as of right now even I’m starting to feel how crazy fast we’re hitting plot beats out here.

I mean, the entire episode is about Lalah Sune, who she is as a character and what she represents thematically to the entire series, but if you haven’t seen OG Gundam thru Char’s Counterattack (because her relationship with Amuro and Char is an important aspect of her character) her appearance here is just going to be a weird catalyst for Machu’s character growth and probably very confusing.

She looks great in GQX’s animation style tho

But having said that, doing The Man in the High Castle with UC0079 Gundam is so insanely ballsy and ambitious, I’m down for the ride.

    Yeah the series is better without him and every scene he’s not in is significantly more enjoyable.

    Funnily enough this series has very much turned into doing the “specific character should be on screen all the time and when he’s not onscreen everyone should be asking where is the character.” lol.

    I watched the dubbed CCA for the first time a few days ago and enjoyed it, but I’m also a filthy casual who prefers dubbed anime so I can focus on the animation ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    kombucha-disgust lol. I probably could’ve gotten through it if not for the mismatching sub/dub. As I get older, I rely on subs a lot regardless. Tho I do prefer japanese audio as I find they’re more emotionally expressive. idk. Might totally be in my head. ngl, while I did enjoy the general story beats of Castlevania last night, I found the dialogue/voice work to be questionable at times. like literally asking myself what the editor was thinking using the clips they did.
