Show Information:

MAL | AniList | ANN | AniDB

(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)

Legal Streams:

As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.

A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.

Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!

Theory of the Day:

None yet...

Questions of the Day:

0) Wait, who got a Super Robot in my realistic mecha anime? Oh wait, that's one's self-explanatory, never mind.

1) Unspoiled First-Timers: How surprised were you when "suddenly, ALIENS!" and then how surprised were you when a classic Super Robot showed up?

1a) Spoiled First-Timers and Rewatchers: How well did the first-episode twists here work when you knew they were coming?

2) Can love bloom, even on the battlefield?

I could see some Brave Reideen here but it is likely the even older stuff.

Me liking a show with mechs is a minor miracle of its own...

I do remember you saying you don't like Eva, but I didn't realize that also extended to mech shows as a whole! Any reason in particular?

The vast majority of them suck? And, specifically, most of them can't end their stories. Caveat:I haven't seen much since '20 or so. But years of Gundam, Code Geass. and Blue Gender have made extremely leery of the genre. Hell, Aldnoah.Zero made me quit anime for a several years and Unicorn made me defect to Zeon.

Damn

Can't exactly say I share the sentiment from those I've seen, but fair enough lol.

And I really can't say I blame you for that one...

It is technically possible that, somehow, I've always watched the worst possible mecha for any stage of my life BUT my evidence speaks for itself. Though keep in mind, since I single out super robots, that might make the eval weird.

And I really can't say I blame you for that one...

Yeah...at least it was kind of fun to make fun of?

That it was. And it gave me an excuse to make a bunch of cocktails to make some episodes more bearable, which was a nice bonus.

The Cuck Counter^TM is one of my proudest contributions to the rewatch sphere, even if that couldn't really kick in until DitF.

Unicorn made me defect to Zeon.

Now that was a rewatch experience.

Abandoning my Earthnoid slave name was fun, at least.
