[ID: digital sketches of Hayato Jin, Ryoma Nagare and Musashi Tomoe from Getter Robo, standing together and glaring at the viewer. They’re drawn from the chest up, Ryoma in the front and the other boys just behind him. The brush strokes are messy and the coloring has a dappled effect, done in desaturated blues. End ID.]

Quick and rough sketch of the OG manga boys

Finally got to the point in W where Sincline appears, and he’s almost as vile as he is in the anime.

God I love Super Robot Wars so much, its so heartwarming to see little scenes where the Girls from magic knight Rayearth go to The Getter Team for guidance on how they should be and the Getter Team Reluctantly adopting them. Truly peak fiction

The standout Suletta moment to me in all of GWitch is still that scene where she interrupts Nika’s apology because she’s digging through the rubble looking for survivors in the aftermath of the school getting blown to hell. When everything goes wrong, when the school she always dreamed of attending becomes a battlefield because of political maneuvering that started way before she was born, her first instinct isn’t to curse the people behind it, or climb into a gundam to seek revenge.

It’s to save lives. As many as she can. Suletta will always choose to help others first, and that’s what makes her the true hero of the story.

That’s probably one of the big reasons. I also hoped it would be continued (given what happened with IBO, and the breakout success of the series), and that was certainly wishful thinking on my part. However, after the finale, I started to see people talking about how supposedly G-Witch was always meant to be fifty episodes and got cut off midway by Bandai, which has endlessly confused me.

Really wondering where the “Witch from Mercury was cut short” rumors started, given that the series was announced as a twenty-five episode (including the prologue) production from the beginning.

One of the best parts of Super Robot Wars is how easy it makes getting your friends into new mech shows.

[ID: a painting of several mechs from Mobile Suit Gundam, standing on the ocean floor below ice caps. In the foreground is a Z’Gok standing with its claws spread wide, its monoeye glaring at the viewer. In the background is a Hygogg, and the silhouette of another Hygogg, each monoeye glowing gold. Divers with harpoons swim between the mech’s legs, bubbles coming from their tanks. Light streams from between the ice caps, casting dappled light on the mechs. End ID.]

A drawing of the Gundam Scahwarzette!

This might be because the game has yet to get to a show I actually care about, but as far as I’m concerned, Super Robot Wars T is about the adventures of a bunch of wacky bisexual gals and also Tetsuya is there sometimes.

Found this song from New Getter Robo and was disappointed to see no one had posted it, so I decided to post it myself.

I had come across a post where someone was asked what their top five Vision of Escaflowne songs were, and so I want to share mine!

I'm not really good at writing summaries for each song, but anyway...I hope you like the music!

First Vision

It originally plays as the opening sequence for the movie (personally one of my favorite parts) AND IT SLAPS!! Going from the feeling of flying to slaughtering all your enemies on board an airship to get back what's yours. Epic.

No Need for Promises

The opening sequence for the anime. It is sung by my favorite Japanese songstress, Maaya Sakamoto, and is probably one of the first Escaflowne songs I've heard. Here's the full version.

Sora

An insert song from the movie. It sounds so pretty! I use it as my alarm to tell me to go to bed.

Yubiwa

Another song for the movie, and sung by Maaya Sakamoto. It's also one of my first Escaflowne songs.

Dance of Curse

An insert song in the anime (and a different version in the movie) that is used when the Escaflowne goes to battle. I really like the fervent sound of the violins in the beginning.

(Bonus songs under the cut)

Bonus 2: Bird Song

I realized I couldn't leave out two other songs that I adore, so they're bonus songs.

Memory of Fanelia

An orechestral rendition of 'Aoi Hitomi', this song is also pretty!

If you think you've heard this song before, you have (it's also in the 'First Vision song). This makes you feel like you're flying, right? I sometimes use it as the alarm to wake me up.

The shot is framed between the legs of the Ikaruga, with Ernesto standing on its foot, spreading his arms wide. Mazinger, the RX 78-2 and Gridman stand, facing a bright sky. Overhead soar the components of Combattler V, the Dreikruz, the Seiten, and a warship. End ID.]
