Vilkiss done! Love this kit, even if it's kind of a pain in the ass. Very point, bit of a hand grenade, and *so* much under gating- still, it's fucking cool and was fun to put together <3

Okay not going to lie, I picked up this series on a whim thinking it was going to be 100% trash anime and lesbian wrongs. I’m not 100% incorrect on that but around ep 10 I actually started to get invested in the plot unironically. Tag line is basically non magic users are seen as sub human by magic users and are sent off to fight a slave war against dragons. But seeing a character going 100% from royalty dripping in the dogma to experiencing the full effects of the system they were propped up by and turning to direct action and rallying I think might have a positive effect on showcasing revolutionary mindsets. I mean this is still trash anime and if the plot dissolves from here then whatever, but this little moment really resonated with me.

I hate how much I'm enjoying cross ange bc I'm like two hours out of having finished the first five episodes and it's kinda trashy (read: sordid) but the amount of cool shit going on and the fact characters like Ange are hard wired into me to like just has me like damn. Real shame they introduced a man but what can you do. It's awesome.

Very Armored Core vibe here

[anhilliator1]

Been watching Symphogear (Awesome show, hard recommend), and a thought comes to mind regarding another traumatized ace fighter who fights using super-tech powered by song.

Specifically, Ange from Cross Ange.

If you think about it, the Villkiss, and really, any Ragna-Mail would qualify as a relic, what with technically being a "weapon of god."

Now consider how a pilot needs to sync with the machine, and consider how its most powerful functions are sealed behind a song-activated lock.

Now consider that a Symphogear is a battle-armor that requires synchronization with its wielder, uses a shard of a relic as its core, and is powered by song.

All I'm saying is that Ange in Villkiss-themed armor absolutely wrecking shop while belting out Kindan no Resistance is an awesome thing to imagine.

SRW Y Wishlist Part 4 (recent SRW inclusions)

Okay, so this last part is made up of a handful of series from more recent SRW games, mainly the VXT trilogy and 30. I won't be including anything directly connected to any entries on the previous list (no Prince of Darkness or Rebuild of Eva, for example), and I don't have Gundam Wing on here because it's kinda already rumored to be included. Anyway, onward to this last list of personal hopefuls:

Cross Ange (TV Series): It's rare for me to say that I find a show genuinely enjoyable while also saying I can't recommend it to anyone. The first few episodes of this series are excessive in their violence against the protagonist, much of that violence being sexual in nature. That having been said, the ideas and themes of the show being more focused on a sort of complicated "re-empowerment" story for the various women of Arzenal leads to a show that can stick with you. Also, we already have the Gundam Lesbians and Majestic Prince's enby powerhouse coming to town, let's add more queer characters to the roster baby!

Buddy Complex (TV Series): This one has only been in one mainline SRW game so far with X, and honestly it's time travel story gets a little overshadowed by the fantasy isekai stuff central to the plot of that game. I haven't seen the show, but this is a case where I'd like to see more of these characters and storylines anyway. It just seems fun.

Gun X Sword (TV Series): This one kinda works well in nearly any mix of story, as the Clawed Man is a great villain to pair with others and the show's episodic nature means you can pick and choose some of the stories you want to focus in while including them. It's a good series, but as much as I would love to see it again, I could understand leaving it out after two games in a row.

SSSS.Gridman (TV Series): Chances are honestly better at this point that we get Dynazenon instead for the new game, but either way honestly works out fine in my opinion. This show was an artistically striking successor to the original Gridman tokusatsu series, as well as its American adaptation(?) Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, with clear references to each version of the show but very much focused on telling its own story. Also, I can't stress enough, Akane has some strong queer subtext to her and we want more gay in SRW, dang it.

ULTRAMAN (TV Series): This one was first included as DLC for SRW 30, and only had a few elements from the show's first season. Now that the series is complete, it's a good time to give the whole thing a chance to shine. I suppose I should also add an honorable mention to a show I forgot to add to my previous parts, because it's Tekkaman Blade being in SRW J that got me to really be interested in power armor series inclusions among the giant robot stuff that SRW is more known for.

Sakura Taisen (TV series or Games): Again added as DLC only in SRW 30, this one is odd because each individual game in the franchise could be solo in an SRW game, but as of now, the DLC threw in characters from three stories at once with little narrative. It'd be nice to see what they can do with an actual focus on just one of the many game stories or the TV adaptation, especially because they could include other characters than just the lead pair.

Code Geass: Akito the Exiled (OVA): Surprise entry from Super Robot Wars DD this time, as this very solid Code Geass sidestory hasn't yet appeared in any mainline games as of now. Considering that Resurrection is included, I don't expect this to show up, as they'd have to blend the stories in an odd way to make it actually work with the timeline of events, but who knows? I like it and I'd be interested in seeing it included.

And that's it for my SRW Y Wishlist, basically. We only get these games every few years unless they are making a bunch with the same engine like VXT, so forgive the rather large list of desired inclusions because it'll possibly be another 3 to 4 years before I can dream about this exact thing again. God, I'll be in my 40s at that point. Anyway, my number one wishlist pick is Layzner, and thanks for reading these slightly silly posts.
