I feel so bad for Zangetsu. Ichigo is such a poor Shinigami to serve lmao. How he doesn't recognize who's Zangetsu is crazy

Yes Suraj that's Troy Baker who voiced Kariya. It's funny how he was talking about "Endless cycle" reminded me so much of Pain lol. Kariya was the villain in the Bount arc, even though it was filler the final fight between Ichigo and Kariya was sick. That King/Horse quote is one of the best quotes in anime 🔥

#Sundayrundown Dropping in on some Mecha and Anime lore. The "first" Mecha anime is indeed Mazinger Z by one of the most impactful creator in the industry Go Nagai, who created Devilman, which then inspired the work of Berserk, another incredibly influential piece of work. (its also Pewdiepie's profile picture since Tseries, just as important as berserk trust me lol) Mazinger Z and Gurren Lagann is part of the "Super Robot" genre of Mecha where it uses ridiculous and fantastical mechs with mostly shounen-esque confident main characters for its pilots and the emotion is front and center for the stories cuz subtext is for cowards. On the other side of this spectrum is the "real robot" genre which Gundam first popularized where things like logistics, politics and "realism" is taken into account. You've actually reacted to something from the real robot genre, although loosely, is Attack on Titan since it shares many plot beats and points that the only reason it isn't a mecha is people just don't want to admit that they are watching a mecha show or don't know about what exists in the genre.(Even Isayama in an interview has admitted to just ripping off Muv Luv lol) Final thing to say is that Gurren Lagann is a love letter to the super robot genre where everything is taken to extreme like Kamina's macho bravado and the logic behind the Mechs that would expect in these shows. For an all around mecha fan, this series has so many easter eggs and nods on what makes this genre so fun.

Been a long time, but pretty sure In the manga all of those hallucinatory past injections don't happen. It's all just Ichigo and his Hollow, and the cuts to the Vizords against the outer Hollow. The horse/king analogy is there but not 100% sure how wordy it actually was in comparison to the anime.

Man, Zoids brings back such nostalgia.

zoids anyone

Also just a heads up on Guren Lagann episode 4, they had a different director and animation team for it and the art style change is notoriously... polarizing. Just know it's the only time the show uses that style and the rest of the series is much more in line with the first 3 episodes.

All Fiction

Gundam is the first Real Robot mecha anime, where stuff like logistics and fuel were important and there were heroes and villains on both sides.

Trevor

It is mixed filler canon. All the shit with the people Ichigo fought before was filler, but the fight against White Ichigo and the Vizards is canon.

The group doing the ending theme for this season of "BLEACH" was originally called Oretachi Kasukasu Lawson Ska Band with Cutter Shirts (roughly: We Are A Not-Quite Corner Store Ska Band With Cutter Shirts). By the time they released their first album, they had changed it to ORESKABAND (I AM SKA BAND). 😄

Nabeshin

Like Kamina said in the first episode, kick logic to the curb and do the impossible (raw raw fight the powah)

Evangelion: 1.11 reaction was posted 4 days ago. I'm assuming they shifted the release days?

124 is def a filler in my book. Might wanna check the list going forward. Its a lul until 140 or something.

Good Job Normies this week with the premium quality - keep it up dont let us down next week

akiro somp

You’re gonna notice the theme of Gurren Lagann: drills, spirals, fighting spirit, drills, and metaphors about drills. Logic stands no chance against Gurren Lagann. Also Gurren’s glasses were made from the defeated mechas swords from episode 2.

Micky say that about zebras they have generational trauma that is literally in their dna
