    That sounds great, I definitely do intend to do that, thanks for the suggestion :) I've watched 5 and a half eps of Unicorn so far and have loved it, a great show, it has everything one could want! And the Gundam lore is so rich. Just curious, what's the peak of this kind of robot anime in your...

    Episode 3 of Gundam Unicorn (OVA) That was an absolutely phenomenal episode I thought, a perfect piece of anime really. I'm not ashamed to admit it made me cry,

    What!? It's on 4onDemand?? I never would have checked there (I suppose I should have checked that streaming thread though, I didn't know we had that!), but that's great!! I'll take the OVA as I love those hour long eps!! Thunderbolt sounds great too, thanks people :)

    Jojo's Bizarre adventure 1-19 This show is one of the most enjoyably utterly ridiculous things I've ever seen, with each episode it manages to become more and more preposterous. It's so watchable though. I'm already dreading running out of episodes of it on netflix.

    General anime thoughts/discussion thread.

    Started watching Gundam Unicorn on netflix last night. I had actually completely forgotten I'd watched (I think) most of it years ago (I think on a simulwatch here?), but I can almost remember nothing but vague impressions and I'm pretty sure I got distracted and never actually finished it back...

    This painting of Shakespeare from the 1670s totally looks like it could be the cover of a manga/anime today! Has anyone made a manga about him? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chesterfield_portrait.jpg

    Indeed those leaks confirm and actually somewhat surpass the grim assumptions I and I think many of us had about the treachery of the 'centre' of the party. That was where the insane delusory fanaticism was all along. There are desperate people in need of saving, but instead of that it was more...

    Jesus that sounds tough, Serpantino. I hope you get settled soon and find something. What awful times these are.

    What's worse in my opinion is how they seemingly didn't bother testing or screening a single person who hopped off a plane from nothern Italy after it had already become a hotspot. Was it sheer laziness or lack of resources? I've still not seen that explained. But it's too late now anyway, it's...

    I hope all these big events do get cancelled to be honest. I know there seems to be a difference of opinion on how to handle this Corona crisis, but I can't help but think it's madly irresponsible to be having these huge crowded events when this virus is spreading like wildfire right now. Our...

    Hilary Benn or Margaret Hodge? Oh please god no, not those idiots. That's just my opinion of course. I just disagree with you JPT that anyone who is selling the message and policies of Corbyn or anything like them will ever be "loved" by the mainstream press. It's a fantasy to think the press...

    Yes, but you've just proven my point, none of that is real toxicity, it is media spun toxicity, and was exacerbated by centrists within the labour party who instead of challenging the false narrative agreed with it. He has talked with the IRA, and with other groups you may believe it is...

    It really does bemuse me all this talk of Corbyn being so toxic apparently. I mean, it's obvious that a lot of people clearly consider him to be, but as ayase said earlier, what exactly that opinion is based on appears to be a mystery. Unless it's simply based on the media's baseless smears, and...

    Jeremy Corbyn was truly too good for Britain, we clearly don't deserve him. Seeing all the centrists crawling out of the woodwork now and putting the boot in and blaming 'corbynism' is making my stomach churn. What a truly truly heartbreaking night. I really thought this time a change might...

    Yeah I'm 100% voting Labour on Thursday. All these polls so far had better be wrong and I'm hoping the youth turn out to vote like never before and vote for JC.

    I'm really torn about whether to vote tactically or not. My constituency in London has usually been a labour/ conservative marginal sort of seat, Labour lost here in 2017 but not by much at all. However, I saw some poll recently suggesting the Lib Dems have shot to popularity here lately (no...

    @ayase Oh I completely agree about climate change and I absolutely respect people protesting for the cause and trying to gain people's attention, because the situation is of course really urgent and that's an understatement. But I'm just not sure all publicity is good publicity, which...

    Yeah, but to be fair, they chose Canning Town as the station to disrupt, so if they didn't expect to be pulled off that train by angry working class Eastenders on the breadline trying to get to work then the protesters were pretty stupid. The choice of station was completely misguided, and only...

    Neon Genesis Evangelion Netflix Streaming Launch Date Revealed

    Yes I can't wait! When this comes out on netflix, I'm properly going to submerge myself into Evangelion for the first time and watch it the right way. Before now I only ever really saw vol. 7 or some such of the VHS release (it was the only volume HMV had in stock and I thought it was better...
