We have more to watch but it is sad to see the finish line so soon. I'm excited to have some larger final thoughts on UC soon though.

A big point that comes to mind is that while F91 & Victory are "later UC", the time they were made make them feel so separate that they may as well be alt. universe.

So far, no real thoughts from me about Üso right now. He feels more gung-ho about using the Gundam than previous MCs, but I don't think that's true as much as the setting framing it differently.

Maybe he changes later on but it's more that he doesn't get the hole he's digging for himself.

Thanks to that setting though, it feels like it has such a strong unique identity to the previous series we've watched. Primarily, there's a sense of groundedness it has because of the guerilla warfare framing that really highlights the desperation from the League Militaire.

We're officially two weeks into watching Victory Gundam! Consensus so far from 6 episodes is that I really dig it.

It's definitely been a slow burn so far both from staying in one setting for some time + the initial flashback approach, but it's absolutely to the show's benefit.

love how seamless your art style works with the game, but is still recognizably you! awesome stuff as always

still love your UI work a ton, those buttons are super nice

I will say the action and fights are also plenty of fun too. The main highlight though is the romance - it's incredibly charming.

Momo's the best and Okarun's growth makes him one of my favorite MCs.

That's understandable. I appreciate that they tried something new with BTT than a straight rendition so I liked it a bit more than expected.

The finale also has a MV that rules too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EXW...

oohhhhh that domon one is tempting

Also all the samples I've heard from the album are so good! Glad they picked some deeper cuts like Asu E and G-Reco.

PictoQuest: The Cursed Grids (2019)

First game of 2026! It was very eh. The idea of a RPG w/ Picross combat could be neat, but the execution here is just not captivating at all. I didn't really engage with it nor the items.

One boon it has tho is that the Picross art here really is incredible.

Umamusume: Cinderella Gray S2 (2025)

Mostly a repeat my S1 thoughts. The characters and OST are still great, but this season felt more like a "holding period" until S3 happens. This had vital races, but the framing did them a disservice imo.

Quit the AI bull and give us Dicta Striker Cygames

What Is Obscenity?: The Story of a Good for Nothing Artist and Her Pussy (2015)

A really great read and not long either! Rokudenashiko's does a great job of hitting the right tone about her arrest and career, at both humorous and sobering. Reminds me a lot of what I like in Box Brown's work.

Lupin the 3rd: The Immortal Bloodline (2025)

My first time watching one of the Koike films, it was clearly not his best. Felt all over the place, with two notably exciting & well animated fights. More curious than excited for the next one though.

Weird they chose this for US theaters honestly.

Once again, I am watching a ton of UC Gundam as usual - but I'm keeping it confined to another thread. It's been fun to keep my thoughts on UC chronologically confined, as my friend and I breeze through it.

Hitting the finish line soon with Victory & Hathaway 2!
