  And I had just defended them! I’m disappointed Netflix…

  If you want a discussion thread for any of the other episodes, just let me know.

    Maybe for shows like this that are dropped all at once a discussion thread for the whole show would make sense. I guess most shows are too long to watch in one sitting though, unlike this one.

      It’s not a bad idea, but I just don’t know of a good way yet to catch these shows before it happens. I can’t keep track of every show in my head to know which ones are getting a batch release, and the AniList api doesn’t flag them in any way. I might try exploring some alternative apis to see what they are like, but it’s a nontrivial thing to swap out the backend of the bot.

      I know that the reddit bot, holo, does some parsing of nyaa where it tries to match up torrent filenames to show titles to figure out which episodes have released. I might take a look at how that is implemented since rikka started out as a modified version of holo.

        Does the anilist api give you the release date of individual episodes? If so you could do a check to see if they’re all the same day. Or is that what you were getting at when talking about parsing nyaa?

    The preview looks like videogame cutscenes. I’m leaning towards skipping this one.

    But trying to fight the RX-78 from the Zeon POV does sound vaguely interesting.

      I hope this comment reaches you in time. Don’t watch this, it’s absolute rubbish.

        Thanks, I wasn’t really planning on watching it anyway.
