  • Here’s my two cents:

    • I think this is one of the rare instance where we see fire being super effective against water
    • I like the mother and daughter as much as the father
    • I’m so glad to see Narnia being recognised as an isekai
    • I’m even more glad to see how the mother and daughter understood that the father got isekai-ed immediately. I wish more media - games, tv shows, movies, books - have characters who actually are aware of tropes. The one that annoys me most are zombie movies. Somehow, the stories are always set in universes where zombies are unheard of.








  • I completed the Shirobako series over the past few weeks.

    It's so good

    This is probably one of the most relatable anime for me. At first I thought it’s because 95% (or some other stupidly high percentage) of software development work is in fact common to most other jobs as per Working with Coders.

    However, the more I watch it, the more I realised just how similar anime production is to software development. It’s not just the stand-up meetings, the team dynamics, suffering from burnout, etc. Even the creative process - the way animators / designers / etc approach their work - is so similar to building software.

    Picking just one example out of many,

    Shirobako spoiler

    when the goth animator drew that one line to make the animation complete, it’s basically like when a senior dev make a change to just one line of code that resolves a big issue.

    With all the similarities, this anime may have as well been about making software.

    Quality-wise (encompassing characters, story, and everything else), this anime is top-notch. To be fair, it would be ironic if an anime that’s about making anime is badly produced.

    As with any series that I’m extremely impressed by, I’m giving it a 10 / 10.

    P.S. I would totally watch 3rd Girl Fighter Wing if it’s an actual anime

    What would you recommend I check out next?

    Gundam anime tend to be pretty good, so perhaps just read their synopses and pick the one that interests you the most

    I loved Witch from Mercury

    sounds like we will get along well

    Also open to non-Gundam Mecha suggestions, I started The 86 and enjoyed the premise.

    This thread has some amazing recommendations. I have compiled a list based on the responses in the thread as well as shows I’ve discovered.

    A significant number of my favourite “Gundam” series are not Gundam. Here are some of them:

    • 86 - You’ve already picked it up
    • Lycoris Recoil - Most similar to Witch from Mercury IMO; no mech
    • Vinland Saga - Besides war, slavery is another major theme; no mech
    • Attack on Titan - It’s as Gundam as it gets
