Hm. Don’t get me wrong, I’m PUMPED for more GitS, but I will always miss that older *anime style. The more cartoony elements kinda buck me a bit.

Gundam has a ton of flavours of Mecha anime depending on what you’re looking for, but my recommendation is ALWAYS 08th MS Team. It follows a single unit in a war and that focus on not being about giga-protagonists feels SO refreshing. You’re just watching a unit of grunts struggle to survive. Cogs in a machine so vast, that they can’t be heroes, just survivors. It also has some SUPER cool fight moments.

This was the death knell for me. It’s been slowly getting worse year after year and the change to disallow third party apps (and later changing it to allow API access with a payment) almost sent me off for good.

But like… without the r/all page, there isn’t even a reason for me to go there anymore.
