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.

        also i think giving me 25 episodes to adjust to the fact that this isn’t going to really address the politics might end up making me feel better about it than wfm just shoving it all in at the last minute. i can just get into the groove of scifi anime bullshit that doesn’t mean anything, as opposed to expecting a resolution to any of the politics and not getting one. i’d still infinitely prefer something like ibo that actually just deals with the setting as presented, or even better an unjust depths where it does that, AND the scifi bullshit, AND is explicitly about communist revolutionaries who are unambiguously good

        but i can deal with scifi anime bullshit that has no meaning

          See it’s the opposite for me, I really can’t deal with meaningless sci-fi anime bullshit nowadays. WfM for most of its runtime was about something, even if it didn’t stick the landing, which I’d prefer to 00’s kinda blah jumble of technobabble.

          Of course IBO’s the best tho

            i totally respect that

            and yeah ibo is just far and away the best gundam has to offer outside turn a (unless like, gundam x or age or g-reco blow me away)
