I think it's because there's so much lore that the anime leaves out vs the light novel this is all based on. Not really, I own Sigma (the Manga continuation). The issue is too MUCH "plot", and too much eagerness to show bits of plot instead of concentrating on the characters. The secondary problem ...

FMP is kinda fun, but I prefer Fumofu to the other seasons (Second raid isn't much better than season one, but it is Kyoani). Truthfully though, I much prefer Amagi Brilliant Park (less swervy, but does what the writer does well). Are you saying that about TSR because you don't like it or because y...

I think Chuck has watched so many specific anime that has panty shots...that anime which doesn't do that...surprises him. Meanwhile, us otakus that have been watching since the dawn of time have learned to never really expect the panty shot...but appreciate it when it shows up...most of the time We...

The problem with starting with the movies vice the TV show is simple. The TV show is the story of the pilots (with multiple layers of conspiracy and plot swirling around). The movies are much more about the plot (and 2 and 3 are built on swerves to a greater or lesser degree), and that detracts from...

But you haven't answered the WHY. You have explained in further detail HOW Japan differs, but not any cultural underpinnings of that. And the lack of taboo doesn't explain the degree of fixation on it, how many characters and plots and tropes exist purely as a vehicle for fanservice, etc. I don't r...

The point he was making is that there have been several Rei's (3 in the main series, unknown how many in the movie time-skip). All started from the same point, but each one has been slightly different from the rest, in attitude and personality. Given that it's been 14 years is it possible Gendo's se...

He already did the "no win" joke for Gojira (since there were so many "marus" being thrown around when all the fishing boats went missing). Probably didn't want to repeat himself.

I've run booths at a lot of cons and sold quite a few Lupin figures (mostly Fujiko to no one's surprise). That bearded Lupin is one of the few figures offered for sale from a specific episode. The other was Fujiko's camo outfit from Calistro, though no one has done a regular size figure of her "ful...

For another example, Do You Remember Love is not a replacement or a 'better' version of SDF Macross DYRL at least is SO radically different from the show that this comparison is almost never made. No one tries to say you can just watch the movie and get the entire story. It wasn't just a re-spliced...

Similarly, I'm a HUGE Lupin III fan Would that be the infamous "prison" episode where Lupin lets himself get caught just to mess with Zenigata? (and set up his next move). Yup, the fourth episode. It's quite a goody. It'd been reprised and redone a couple times over the years since, but that one wa...
