    As far as side scrolling spaceship shooters, my favorite ended up being Einhander

    Yeah, that one hit pretty hard. I remember Saturday morning cartoons and there’d be days when some lame golf tournament would pop up in place of a cool cartoon favorite. I get that it’s a relaxing game to play, but it’s a game that never should have been televised. And maybe the only game where the kid’s version is a thousand times more enjoyable. T-ball meh, but miniature golf is a fun way to spend a day even as an adult. Heck I’d rather see a cool miniature golf tournament on tv than real golf

    It will make an awesome display piece

    Looks really cool for a simple build

    Love this one. It has such a great look of importance. Very regal and demanding of respect without saying a single word

    That seems to be the implication in his bio. He's not mentioned as having moved to the 37th fleet and it is explicitly mentioned he's not legally a citizen of the fleet... meaning he's only ever resided in that rundown unregistered district. Pretty much. Even in-universe Basara's background is said to be unknown even to the man himself. He doesn't know where he was born. Ray encountered him for the first time in 2031 when Basara was 7 years old, and he was just this mysterious urchin who would occasionally show up near where Ray lived with an acoustic guitar and attempt to (literally) move the nearby mountains with his songs. Somewhere along the way Ray became Basara's de facto (if not de jure) guardian. They would eventually team up with street fighter turned drummer Veffidas Feaze to form Fire Bomber in 2038, the same year the 37th fleet departed Earth. The one thing we can say with some confidence is that Basara has always been insufferable. Mylene was the band's fourth bassist in six years because of how infuriating and hard to work with Basara was, and even she frequently wants to go upside his head.

    "Exactly what it says on the tin" means it's probably me who said that, and I stand by it. That said, Demon Slayer does eventually veer slightly in the direction of shounen cliches like super modes or secret styles and techniques. It's handled in a much more grounded fashion than most shounen anime manage and never really detracts from the straightforward feel of the series. The lost original demon slayer breathing style is rediscovered by accident (more or less) and then spammed gratuitously by its rediscoverer, and there's a "barely there" super mode that nobody can activate consciously because it's basically a form of hysterical strength. It's all very earnest and grounded and straightforward. A lot more accessible and enjoyable than a lot of shounen titles that rely on power scaling. (The realization that its plot bears a very strong resemblance to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Parts 1 and 2 has me in stitches though. An ageless immortal who is fatally weakened by sunlight travels all over hell's half-acre looking for an ultra-rare red macguffin that is the key ingredient in a technique to remove all his weaknesses and become a perfect lifeform. He creates legions of nightwalking cannibalistic monsters to serve as his minions, and is opposed by a secretive organization of warrior monks who employ breathing techniques that imbue them with superhuman abilities in order to slay these monsters with attacks imbued with the power of the sun. I want so very badly to hear Tanjiro's VA shout "Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!" now.)

    40th Anniversary re issue of this just finally came in. Looking forward to displaying it with some of my hg kits.

    I suspect a Toyrise Tread will have some big differences from the anime version. Aren't these toys 2/3rds the size of the Sentinel? I expect lots of concessions and unique takes. As other members have pointed out, 1/48 is too small for a Legioss... Going even smaller? Wild. Pose+ had the right idea for scale but I have more than a few concerns about what they choose to do with it.

    I barely watched that series but it did have some great lines. My favorite was... "The only thing worse than nothing on TV is golf on TV." 🤣

    I watched Your name again. I seem to watch it yearly. It is still an awesome movie.

    According to Wikipedia the artist did build models of some of the designs to create credible drawings from all angles of the various ships in the comic. He is similar to Kawamori in this regard. The designs with the elongated clear cockpit sections and beefy rear fuselages clearly speak to me (which is why I adore the VF-25 Armored Messiah) so there is a clear through line between the comic, the shmup ship designs to my love for the mecha design in Macross. Speaking of shmups, my favorite ship is probably the one from the cover of the PAL version of Super R-Type (and the GameBoy version of R-Type); the NES Gradius cover art being a close second:

    One thing I’ve enjoyed with more recent sci-fi is how they’ve incorporated Newtonian motion into space battles. The BSG Vipers with their herky-jerky moves when they suddenly change directions with RCS thrusters. Or the ships in The Expanse flipping around halfway on their route to slow down.
