I am going to attempt to watch (and write about) all of the Macross anime that I have not seen yet over the next few weeks. Well, “attempt” is probably the wrong word since I’ve made a lot of progress thus far. Anyway, first Macross II.

what i was (not) forced to watch this week #22: baccano
Baccano is a lot of fun. It’s got an interesting setting, charismatic characters, and a tongue in cheek humor about the whole thing. It’s one of the better anime to have aired in 2007, which was a pretty good year.

what i was (not) forced to watch this week #21: giant robo
I like taking the perspective that Giant Robo is how we’d like to remember giant robot anime as being like, or perhaps what we wish they were all along. This is very different from making a making a work that meticulously tries to reproduce the way things were done back in the day, like say Gekiganger 3 or in a non-anime example, Black Dynamite. What makes Giant Robo different from those types of reproductions is that Giant Robo tries to improve upon the original, both in terms of overall quality and in terms of signifiers of quality.
