Haven't posted hare for ages, but here goes...
Watched some gameplay footage of Super Robot Wars V recently – well, mainly the bits related to Nadesico. Especially the part where (hiding this bit in case anyone hasn't played the game yet) I swear, I almost teared up during that scene. It left me grinning like an idiot for most of the day too. Really wish the actual movie ended like that.
Anyway, seeing all that got me to dig out the series and watch it again. I often go back to it every few years, and I have a blast with it every time. I always did like how the show jumps between comedy and drama and then back again without missing a beat. Love how it handles its' references to other shows too, especially the Gekiganger 3 segments. The OVA is great too – really feels like one of the old Mazinger movies.
I'm halfway through the series so far, but I reckon I need to pace myself a bit. Don't want to plough through the show too fast...
I'm also watching Yamato 2199 as well. Reaction's pretty much the same as with Nadesico; I
love this show. It's left me grinning like an idiot too,
Watching it along with the original Star Blazers, I'm getting the same giddy thrill as I do watching the original. Fantastic series.
Other stuff I'm watching: Kyousougiga, Xabungle Graffiti and Dominion Tank Police. Those should keep me busy for a good while.
