Wasn't expecting to finish first in the Cancer Cup finals. Seiun Sky pulled through.

Reading the entire Getter Robo Saga is like when I read Book of the New Sun. It made a lot of media in the same genre that came after appear lesser.

A little deep in my Getter Robo feels here. Ishikawa's work is too strong.

Great work as always!

Did a rewatch of New Getter Robo. It hits way harder when you read more of Ken Ishikawa's other works. It's a wild ride that a fan of Getter really needs to relish.

Turning Super Creek into goo.

Saw it in Yokohama in February 2023. It was so rad. Plus everybody there had good vibes. From the kids pointing up to the toughest looking old guys having a blast. Good times was had by all.

Haven't been to a night market in years. Never change EDM.

Sometimes you run into weird stuff walking to the office.

Finished Final Fantasy Tactics again. It's hits just as hard from the PS and PSP days. While I really like the Japanese VO, it feels like they're over inflecting sometimes to battle the ye olde English VO.

Fujimasa March is happy that Cinderella Gray is back!

I can't believe they announced a Tomie nendoroid.

A favorite mech show moment. When two pilots punched/kicked a toppled building into the sky.

I've been playing Hades II and like Hades I, it's not hitting well with me. The story, gameplay, aesthetics and music are all top-tier, but something about it is not clicking right. Maybe I just like Transistor and Bastion more.

Final Gaogaigar just saying hello.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

And it wraps up. What a soothing and melancholic show. Just what I needed.

Chugging all that purple tea really helps.

Extremely fancy!

So I beat Super Robot Wars Y. The story doesn't get super interesting until they start talking about Getter Emperor and how it envelops the story. While an okay game, I just wish there's more to it than more of the same. Wishful thinking for an old fan since the 90s.
