~The Splendid Adventures of Rondam and Flody~

I am glad to announce that I am back on my bullshit.

Thanks to the Great Gundam Project, I have (after a 2-year pause) finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), and man, I stopped literally right before all the psychic powers started happening. What a nonce am I.

Char is just the most, all the time, isn't he? That coup de grace on Kycilia was fantastic.

Also after watching the stuff with Amuro and Lalah, it's clear that nothing in anime has ever been new, especially Evangelion.

So now having been an upstanding anime citizen for some time, I am once again venturing into the depths of the internet so I can watch Zeta Gundam. The podcast is great because it is the discussion I have long been missing out on. They just started on Gundam Wing, which is how I found (or was reminded of) this, but I've gone back and am starting from the beginning. It's my first attempt to catch up on a podcast that has been running for years, so we'll see how far I get.

Zeta seems cool so far. The 80s sure did happen. Kamille hates cops, so that's cool, and also it's clear that the A-Laws from 00 were aping the Titans. (Another reference, I think, that I wouldn't have gotten is that the Innovators mothership looks a lot like A Baoa Qu from 0079. Also also Gundam just loves giant death lasers.)

What fun, what fun. Back to watching all the special boys in their giant death robots.
