So, yeah, looking at all these pictures and that uniform it is clear that the mangaka have not inventing shit out of their ass.

The epaulets check out, the white uniform checks out, the huge hat with huge emblem checks out, the color scheme checks out!
 


So this is officially a thing now. I'm really not sure how this is going to work because the fights in Kengan Asura are a lot more grounded and actually cool while the fights in Baki are downright retarded.

Gundam SEED Freedom

Just came back from seeing this in theaters subtitled. There was an issue where the projector was not set up correctly, so the image was warped and the subtitles were cut off so no one could see what was being said. Ran down and told an employee and five minutes later staff came in and fix it, and asked if they should restart the movie from the beginning and we said yes. Pretty nice of them.

As for the movie itself, I feel like it would have been better served as a third season. There is too much stuff in this movie. The movie moves at a frenetic pace. There is near constant dialogue, and we are introduced to characters but given little time to actually get invested in them. On the microlevel, the movie is constantly cutting every 2 to 3 seconds. You never get a moment where the camera just rests on a cut and breathes. (Spoilers) the Archangel gets blown up for real but you never really feel loss because the movie immedietely moves on. During the climatic battle, the heroes pull out of thin air a new magic laser cannon that bisect fleets of enemy battleships. In a show this would have been better set up.

The movie also performs some retcons, though these were necessary. After Destiny, it was confusing how there could possibly be a movie when ZAFT and the Earth Federation had been fought and defeated. Twice. And there were no other named factions in the setting that could become a threat. This movie retcons 1. Blue Cosmos' demise at the end of Destiny, so they are continuing to fight, and 2. retcons in another major Earth nation that accepts Coordinators besides ORB.

The movie overall looks okay. The 3D CGI mechs I was dreading were there, but didn't look quite as bad as in the Hathaway Movie or in Unicorn. Also, the mechs are drawn as 2D most of the time. I only really remember the 3D CGI mechs appearing in the opening battle, and during the runway takeoff sequences.

This movie is the highest grossing Gundam movie ever in Japan, so I went in expecting it to be comparable to CCA or F91, but it doesn't live up to either in terms of production values or timeless aesthetic value.

The movie echoes the same despair of Japanese popculture. As usual, the antagonists point out the evil nature of the world and try coming up with pragmatic solutions to it. As usual, the designated protagonists oppose them, and espouse empty platitudes that fail to give a convincing justification. "Sure, the world sucks, and no matter how hard we try to stamp out evil and build good civilizations, people will continue being evil and the civilizations we build will crumble. But we must keep trying! Just because!". It feels hollow without the promise of an ultimate, final vindication and restoration by an almighty God who will stamp out sin forever and build a civilization that will never need to be avenged.

Movie was overall fun enough. I would rather wash dishes than watch a new movie coming out of the West, but this was fun enough.

Disney Plus Japan Exec Admits Anime Industry Making "A Shift Toward More Acceptable Expressions" In Order To Appeal To Wider Audiences

Disney Plus Japan Animation boss Takuto Yawata says that more and more anime are self-censoring in order to appeal to wider audiences.

So yeah, apparently some Japanese executives think they've cracked the code on what Americans want; more wokeness in anime. It'll end just about as well as it did when they thought we wanted "Americanized" Japanese video games, and gave us garbage like Bomberman Zero.

Maybe the Angels return in some new form in the new reality at the end of the latest film.

Or perhap's he's going to go full-multiverse and have it so maybe the Dirac Sea exit's into multiple realities.
