i'm not a huuuuge anime guy but one thing i'll never get sick of seeing is when games try recreate anime OPs in engine. i love the look of trying to recreate a 2D aesthetic using 3D assets and moving sprites. it's so cool seeing what they choose to keep or change. this is Cowboy Bebop's on the PS2

it makes complete sense why Ultraman became a long-running series and Ultra Q didn't. because one has a dude wrestling!!

finally finished the original '66 Ultraman after slowly watching it for 15 months! man they really figure out what makes the show work so well by the end. i think this might be the greatest children's entertainment show in existence. i would've been eating good if i saw this as a youth
