wwwwhhhhoooo

Funny you mention Trigun. I just picked up Badlands Rumble & although I’m sad to hear not all the English voice cast made it back, I’m still looking forward to seeing the characters of Trigun getting a bit of a modern makeover over ten years later.

Also currently [slowly] going through Stand Alone Complex with my roommates (amazingly, I’ve never actually finished this series, so thank you Netflix). It’s a great series in ever way imo (futuristic black ops, hot female cyborg lead, robots with Sasami’s voice? What’s not to like?) It’s also interesting to see not only good overall storyarcs, but in many individual episodes (it’s very episodic in nature, meaning not every episode directly advances a larger plot) it’s really fun to see the writers or director (whoever is responsible in each case) creating little homages and shoutouts to other films, such as an episode reminiscent of Ocean’s 11, and another undoubtedly paying tribute to Wender’s film Der Himmel über Berlin. (Goes to show great directors–or writers, or anything for that matter–don’t pull ideas from nowhere; we’re all influenced and inspired by things we experience, so it’s not only fun but also really shows class on the parts of filmmakers to not only acknowledge whom they were inspired by, but also to do so in ways that are unique and subtle, & ways that only other filmmakers/film enthusiasts would know (well, more so in the days before the internet that is lol)

gasp! We all would never have met! A horrendous thought indeed. Wow what a cool thought. A much younger Kajishima, energetic and filled with enthusiasm and fresh ideas, fervently pitching his idea, hoping it would get produced & made a reality (I can relate lol)

Something else I thought of.; if Kiyone got promoted and stayed at GP.. wouldn’t she be dead when TMIL came around? O_O

Wow scary thought. In hindsight, perhaps she owes Mihoshi a ‘thank you’ & shows that Mihoshi’s um, ‘Mihoshi-ness’ is perhaps as natural a force of the universe as gravity. Everything balances out. 😆

What if Ryoko (when first on earth) had defeated and killed Yosho? NO TENCHI! 😯
