hello! my name is psii, and this in my sideblog focused on mecha/cyber/adjacent media (mostly anime).

some of the media I'm into of this variety are:

Astro boy (the 2003 anime and the original manga which I'm reading right now). with plans to get through the entire main astro/tezuka star system works

FLCL (just the manga so far)

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Serial Experiments Lain

Battle Angel Alita (manga only so far)

and hopefully many more in the future!

its so sad when a story has all the perfect components for a good romance, but the author doesn't know how to write romance/put those components together to make a compelling dynamic and story.

#finished vol2 of battle angel alita (and started vol3) and I have alot of thoughts #first of all that I REALLY LIKE it. to my own surprise #I usually have a knee jerk negative reaction to het romance and have to warm up to it over time #but from the start i... liked alita and yugo's interactions?#but seeing how one sided alita's feelings were was unfortunate #which is a shame because it had such a good setup for a 'fell first/fell harder' type of thing that would've made the tragedy of yugo's #death all the more impactful #but apart from that. individual scenes/ideas that were rlly good that felt wasted for such an emotionally empty dynamic:#-alita beheading jugo and keeping the head alive with her own heart so that he would survive a cyborg operation.#-the whole Romeo/Juliet parallel #-THE HAND IMAGERY HOLY SHIT #YUGO EXCHANGING HIS HAND FOR HIS BROTHERS SO HE CAN ALWAYS KEEP A PIECE OF HIM/HIS DREAM WITH HIM #THE ONLY THING BEING LEFT OF HIM FOR ALITA TO REMEMBER HIM BY BEING HIS HAND #also the Yugo and Icarus imagery. I'm ripping my hair out #psii.txt #psii reads battle angel alita
