Do You Know This Anime? (Poll #500!)

[rollerska8er]

thinking about how evangelion pretty much ends in exactly the same way as space runaway ideon, including the entire cast dying and being turned into bodiless souls that find nirvana and a new beginning

Ough I wanna tell ppl to watch Ideon but idk if there's any good translations of it out there

Top Anime of 2023 (And Year in Review)

Another year has come and gone, leaving us undeniably older and presumably wiser, though at this point it’s hard for me to tell if each new year of knowledge outpaces the mental erosion of aging. That phrase “they’ve forgotten more about subject than you’ll ever know” always seemed a bit strange to me – I mean, I’ve forgotten way more stuff than I’ve remembered, and I don’t exactly take that as a…

Rewatched the Ideon movies. Ideon is so weird because even though it’s not particularly coherent and honestly not that well made outside of Be Invoked it’s still not too hard to see why it went on to be so massively influential. Even though I don’t really think it’s that good it’s still a series that I recommend checking out just for its significance.

Anime Central Day 1: The Truly Harrowing Ordeal of Being Known

Well, we got into Chicago and checked into our accommodations last night. This morning we got to the convention center early-ish (still a line around the corner to get in). Here follows highlights, in no particular order:

- got my Betsu Ten Gai nendoroid‘s base signed by the PILI staff. My wife got one of the cards signed, and we were lucky and got a bonus, very fancy Rou Fuyou shikishi.

- Not a whole lot I wanted in the dealer’s room (good, tbh). I got some Macross Delta keychains and two new robot blu-ray sets (Albegas, Layzner). Probably will end up back in there and buy a model kit sometime tomorrow.

- I wore my Jade Curtiss Tales of the Abyss cosplay today. I’ve been making and remaking this outfit for…a long time, and it’s finally done to my satisfaction. The boots and the gloves were the real bitch. Some minor improvements to make but overall I’m pretty happy.

- Had a great dinner with friends. I love telling people “Yeah the best part of Ideon: Be Invoked is how characters die and you think ‘at least they won’t see the horrors still yet to come’���.

- Handed out a whole bunch of robots and business cards and other fun little goodies.

- The clincher, however, was going to the panel for Tomo Sakurai. We got to hear her sing My Friends! It was an interesting retrospective on her career and time starting in the industry. Also we gave her the Gubaba plush I made, my best one yet, and she really seemed to like it! I gave a homemade gift to a celebrity and they appreciated it! And we’re going to her autograph session tomorrow. Someone famous, from something I like, being aware of my existence is truly, a bizarre sensation.

I need to go to bed. More tomorrow!

Got out of theater and gotta say direction of the arachnid dimensions is as good as shin getter robo vs neo getter robo and almost as good as Space Runaway Ideon : BE INVOKED & Tenchi Forever

i cant even imagine how people mustve reacted after watching ideon: be invoked

[goatmattersinc]

I finished Ideon: Be Invoked.

Ideon rules.

Sometimes cosmic horror can be a big guy made of space trucks.

Finished the Ideon tv series, and now watching the compilation movie before the sequel movie, and man, this show rules. The back half has been super neat, almost bordering on horror.

Winter 2023 - Week 8 in Review

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. It’s been a highly productive week on my end, as I surged through the last act of Space Runaway Ideon, and topped off the series with a viewing of its apocalyptic concluding film Be Invoked. That screening served as a fine trail marker for a project that I’d initially assigned myself as research: filling out my understanding of Tomino’s style and…
