The weird music you hear in First Gundam during encounters with Lalah is a stock effect called “Bizarre 6” (most likely cooked up by SFX editor Akihiko Matsuda)
It can only be found in full on “サウン道 アニメ・恐竜・SF編 VOL.2”, a CD collection of anime sound effects overseen by Katsumi Itou of Swara Pro

Dunbine itself uses the term “parallel worlds” to describe the relationship between our Upper Earth and Byston Well, getting at an important distinction from many recent isekai settings: the two worlds had a harmonious relationship now disrupted by the breakdown in the barrier between them…
It's fashionable to call "Dunbine" one of the earliest examples of the "isekai" (other world) genre of manga and anime, and if you stretch the definition you can lump in things like the "Narnia" books and "Alice in Wonderland" - what they call "portal fantasy" in the West.

And I'm finally done with my comprehensive update to the First Gundam production history! Took me seven months, but it's literally tripled in length, with lots more source translations and better-quality art. "The next is... in expectation of your heart."

Angel's Egg is in theaters this week courtesy of GKIDS and with a 4K restoration no less, and let me tell you, that feels like a miracle. Highly recommend you go see it if you have the opportunity, it is like nothing else in anime. I wrote about it a few years ago and it has only grown on me since.

I was going to make a post about how important the ACA subsidies were for me, and that if I lose medicaid coverage I'll probably never have health insurance again, but writing it out made me feel worse, so I'll just mention the patreon again

When were disposable diapers brought to market in Japan? When did they get popular? How did people diaper their babies before then? And how is all that relevant to Victory Gundam???
