I do find it funny there's all these chuds whining "Modern Gundam is gay and woke!", when in the 90s this was how Wing was promoted:

I'm only half joking when I say AL should hire me to thanklessly crack on with Gundam titles.

Acguy is serving.

I think there's a lot of stagnation in modern anime, fuelled by the fact it's a punishing industry for the actual animators. It's an old trick but try putting an anime on mute and seeing if you can still follow the story. You start to notice all the tricks like the heavy use of location pans to...

"Milliardo...the box is behind me."

A few years back I picked up the MG 3.0 at MCM. This was when my mental health wasn't doing so good and thus the kit ended up in a half finished state. So this time I intentionally bought the Ecopla version to make up for it and am currently working on it.

I liked Naruto for a time but dropped off after the time skip. There were a number of story decisions that felt like Kishimoto was wasting time, to the point I don't have the nostalgia that is making many clearly want these disc releases. As for Bleach....I like Rukia.

Reading this article about GQuuuuuuX events in America and France hurts- Gundam GQuuuuuuX is Coming to Anime Expo, LA and Japan Expo, Paris! | GUNDAM.INFO I've been told in the past stuff like this is outside of AL's hands, but with them talking about bringing back Anime Guests of Honour to MCM...

I'd have to double check but I'm fairly certain Reco predates Nozomi getting it. Back in 2014 it was actually unprecedented that AL offered Reco for paid streaming and they went on to leverage it for Blu-ray. That was essentially the precursor to them being the general home of Gundam in the UK...

But they've always to my understanding had to sublicense for masters. Note in particular that Iron Blooded Orphans specifically was the Funimation release, right down to trailers. It seems to be the case that Sunrise/Bandai Namco gave Nozomi the masters, Nozomi did the work of subbing them and...

I'm certainly of the view that Crunchyroll throwing Nozomi off a cliff has played a major part in the Gundam delays. Especially if they're having to handle the gargantuan episode counts of Shonen Jump shows. Priorities, limited staff, etc. Of course there's still the snag of them continuously...

Me getting increasingly desperate for AL to give us 0080.

I've genuinely been wondering how much of that is down to the new 'owners'. Exacerbated by the fact the shape of the market now means they have to run with whatever Crunchyroll isn't/beats them to. Bitter as I am about the handling of a certain mecha franchise, I'm sure the Shonen Jump stuff...
