I've been really enjoying Sousou no Frieren and by enjoying I mean feeling like I want to cry.

I'll need to find something more upbeat next.

Like Cromalin, I'm watching Gundam 00 and BeruBara with GGP. Season 2 of 00 is alright, BeruBara is great 70s anime!

I'm also slowly working my way through Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It's such a long series that I'm just watching an episode or two of it a week, which feels like an appropriate pace. I'm pretty sure I would get sick of this if I was binging through it.

Record of Lodoss War is alright. It's very ADnD era by-the-books fantasy, but the animation is pretty great.

I blasted through Brain Powerd when I was sick with COVID earlier this month. Great show - it's extremely Tomino brained and the story has some wild twists. The only major downside is standard pre-Turn A bad gender takes from Tomino. I would probably put it behind Be Invoked in my favorite non-Gundam Tomino stuff.

The end of this Black Knight arc was kinda shit (assuming it concludes with e28). I'm getting increasingly antsy to see if shit pops off and Robespierre rolls out ol' chipy-chopy. gui-better At this rate, it feels like there's not enough show for it to happen outside of the last few episodes.

I think I can wow-cool-robot with 70s anime aesthetics enough to enjoy rolling through to each episode, though.

i think i am just not a 70s anime sicko in the way the pod or a lot of its listeners are, though obviously i still appreciate just how good this looks

You love 0079 enough so you get a pass lol

i like 70s anime! i think complaints that it looks too old are ridiculous, i just don't think it's the best anime has ever looked (which is the stated opinion of the podcast)

i think the best anime has ever looked is late 90s cel animation

also my specific thing with rose of versailles is that it's spent a while dancing around the gui-better and i think i'll be back on board once it's back in that mode. andre sucks and once the show is back to politics i think it'll be much better
