The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie (Japanese audio) - Film
Great end to the story in all honestly. There was enough content to wrap it up pretty well (though we do have the OVA and new anime on the horizon and the visual novels).

Haikyu!! (Japanese) - Episode 21 - 25 + OVA (Complete)
With the movie showing next week in cinemas it was about time I start watching this series, I've been meaning to watch it for years anyway. I found this a very enjoyable sports series and some of the later matches get quite intense and you really get into the game at times. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

F€$¥! What a great movie! I’m not sure if it’s because Gunbusters is influenced/completely steals (
) from the plot of this film, but damn! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love the dream like quality of the animation in places and then when it goes to action it becomes more scratchy and/or manga stills over psychedelic backgrounds. I’m definitely here for the characters, the story and even the tennis was cool (like Hajime no Ippo, another anime that covers a sport I have no interest in yet somehow end up being fully invested).
Now do I buy the series which the movie is a condensed version of or do I buy the next series to see where the story goes?

Since the series lapsed into it's second half with episode 19 there has been a good run episodes, particularly episode 21 which was fantastic, that have really lifted the show as a whole, even if some of the character animation continues to be hilariously off model at times!
Kaiju No. 8 - Episode 6
"It's a Gundam!!!" the dub is hilariously bad at times
, I watched the TV series 3 times through the 00's; first on Toonami (which was the only time I watched it dubbed), then on DVD and subbed. I have a lot of nostalgia for it but realised that a lot of the story through the middle of the series was actually nonsense on that 3rd viewing. The blu-rays have been sat on the shelf for years and it's something I keep promising myself I'll watch again soon.
If you haven't already seen the TV show, then please do check it out, it's even better than the movie

Is there significant changes (other than not being compressed into 90ish minutes) to the story? I think it will be something I pick up in the next few months.If you haven't already seen the TV show, then please do check it out, it's even better than the movie

Pluto eps 6-8 (dub) (complete)
Erm, well that was underwhelming plot wise. Each episode was pretty much the same with a piece of the puzzle pointing one way before the next episode pointed another and then each episode also saw a super robot die. In the end after it possibly being a super Ai, then revenge of a human scientist, then back to the Ai, then the leader of the defeated nation, then the super ai was the human scientist, then actually the other nation in the war plotting in the background, it finally turned out to be a sentient teddy bear pulling the strings which was none of the above and thus unexplained and totally confusing.
I will say there was quite a lot of tense moments and the intrigue was good early on before the repetitiveness really set in.
The art and animation were great.
7/10

@D1tchd1gger I didn’t finish the anime myself but I have read the manga, from memory, this article has a fairly accurate (from my memory) description of the part you found confusing. The interesting part is halfway down, you’ll see the title. Hope it helps.

Another one from my youth. Such a great series of set pieces and as an adult I can watch safely knowing my Mum won’t walk in during some of the dodgy scenes
Great use of colour in the film too. The bamboo forest and the sunset scenes being my favourite.
But can anyone tell me why the government spy would want to have the most jangly staff known to man? I thought he was supposed to be all stealth

Always a pleasure to watch Andy Lau and Tony Leung.
I would have preferred more financial mumbo jumbo about how it all worked.
It made want to watch
Chasing the Dragon
Andy Lau as Lee Rock and Donnie Yen sorting out the fights. Still entertaining as a rewatch.
And to ramp up the violence
Train to Busan
Zombies and Don Lee. Perfect.

Enjoying the start to this season but I feel I'm getting a little burnt out trying to watch so much in a short time unfortunately, planned to get through much more today than what I did watch. No fault of the show though.

Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket Complete
I’m so glad I picked this up. I watched a few years back on a dodgy stream when I was first exploring Gundam as a friend said it was his favourite. Getting a legit copy of War in the Pocket was one of the reasons I picked up a multi-region player.
Anyway, about the series… damn, this is the best Gundam show. I’d recommend this to anyone that wants a real human drama even if they are not mecha fans. Out of the 6 episodes, I think there is only 3 battles, so the focus is more on characters than pew pew. But damn, every battle has an emotional impact and they all look cool as hell!
The ending is heart breaking and really shows the ravages of war with a weight that few shows manage. Also, everyone wants Bernie as an older brother and Chris as the girl next door. Maybe not Al’s parents though (someone should probably call social services on them with the amount of **** Al gets up to).
