Mobile Suit Gundam:

• Iron Blooded Orphans - Orphans employed by a PMC manage to seize control of the company and fight for themselves.

• The Witch from Mercury - Country bumpkin goes to fancy space school where students gain standing and settle their grievances in mecha duels. Also yuri.

• 00 - A mysterious organization seeks to end all war on Earth by fighting with their fancy robots.

Note: While the Gundam IP is huge, the ones mentioned are spin-offs and can be watched separately of other Gundam series.

Other:

• 86 - The Republic fights against a mechanical empire using their own mechs which are totally autonomous and definitely not piloted by undesirables.

That’s most shounen anime for you. Look outside of shounen and you can find lots of good shows with less action or none at all.

I’ve been avoiding this one because I find smoking repulsive and I would rather not watch a show that focuses on that. Is there really that much substance to this show that would make it worth watching anyway?

I normally wait until a season is over before watching it, but I haven’t been able to resist with this one.

Regarding this episode, I suspect Zettour will be using this play to take control for himself and use Tanya as a scapegoat. If he’s willing to sacrifice his old friend, he would throw her under the bus if needed also.

From Tanya’s perspective, I think she’s going to carry this plan out, then try and defect while leadership is in disarray. She’s probably taken into account that Zettour could be setting her up, but Being X will blindside her with something else.

Good communication is sexy regardless of how your brain works.

I think the things I liked the most about OnK were how it focused on relationships between the characters and Aqua generally playing 4D chess. The showbiz theme was interesting, but I could take it or leave it. I’ll also say I was fortunate enough to go in more or less blind.

I’ve seen Mushoku Tensei and the following and enjoyed them, but I’ll check out the others:

Thank you.

I finished Oshi No Ko s3 and now I’m sad because it will be some time before s4 releases. I’m not really into dramas, but enjoyed this one; is there anything else similar?

Witch Hat Atelier was a good one that released recently.

MC-kun is frequently a skinny kid with shaggy hair, boring and unrelatable. I know they’re oftentimes supposed to be self inserts, but meh.

Everything is polarizing nowadays and people like to talk in hyperbole. If something isn’t the best, it’s the worst. Mid = bad.

JJK is more or less your standard shounen show, but the action scenes keep me interested.

I didn’t even make it that far. I got 20ish episodes in and the egregious fanservice turned me off. From what I heard it only gets worse.

Not enough mecha anime gets produced nowadays. It’s pretty barren outside of Gundam every couple years.
