Pfhahaha! The birthday sign really ties it all together!

The Red Comet on roller skates.

Thanks. It's on my mind a lot.

Me too...

As a disappearer, I think a little hello is probably good?

He found something the other day. Someone must have dropped it. He'll take good care of her. He knows he's doing something he shouldn't. She'll be his little secret. He wonders which of his toys should be her prince.

It really is "bug juice!"

All those hand marks...

I am not kidding when I tell you I am watching this on repeat right now. I must want to eat it up, make it mine, and put its essence into whatever I do.

Here it is! Look at it, look at that lovely cel-age use of black, those transitions, the pre-digital glow, the "kissing your dark side" imagery for embracing light and darkness, the two walking different paths while one has secrets, ending on pt 1's birds and blue sky... 🎵 I wanna change the world🎵

Sometimes I just want to make people watch the 3rd intro while I ramble about the imagery and aesthetics, you know??

Maybe the return of Magic Knight Rayearth means that it won't be f-ing impossible to find a decent Youtube video of the original series' intros that isn't crap quality, or dub, or upscaled, or whatever. Not that I lack it, but sometimes I want to share, ya know?

Yeah I woulda watched the heck out of this as a kid, then become an insufferable weeb about it later after getting my hands on some bootleg fansubs. 100% (It's so funny how localized intros used so much show footage and only a teensy bit of intro footage, if at all.)

Siiigh, I want to leave room for the possibility of being "other" but I also know I am not "other" and we can't all be other or hide under the appropriation of it far into adulthood and the balance of the world requires a base of people who aren't that and this is my job and someone has to do it.

".... get it? GET IT???" Moon: *LOOMS*

Way to go, Nise Gundam!

.....man I probably really could just skip Baby's First Descent into the Underworld and the story would be the same, and it would give me way less work to do...

I'll just be here, collapsed on the floor, after the last few weeks of excitement.

Garma knows he's going to marry a princess someday, Nobody knows where this came from. He has three brothers. Boys aren't supposed to like princesses until they grow up (that's how they get married). This is how Garma knows he is extremely mature for his age.
