Don't forget Bandai investing in DEI. The future is shows like G-Witch that yuri gooners can watch one-handed while Tumblrinas praise it for being inclusive, and no attention is given to the story or worldbuilding but goes full force on "character drama", or quickly-made shows like Requiem for Vengeance that used initial drafts for everything, but will be okay because the MC is a GUUUURRRRL.

With Gundam specifically there was a time when they weren't doing so well and the women of Japan specifically carried them through it. Some of the shows like G witch can still be enjoyable as a casual watch as well as the new and different mech designs are always welcome and may fit better in a new universe than any of the others that already exist. Netflix always fucks shit up. Bandai just needs to give us more of what they keep to themselves or maybe keep all of it to themselves, so I don't keep finding niggers in my nippon cartoons.

And they were fujos, not yuri chuds. The fujos meant there could be tons of robot fights and cool worldbuilding (necessary to attract the hardcore sci-fi fan male audience, the other demographic that kept Gundam afloat via things like Gundam Century) as long as there were some cute boys angsting with each other.
You know that's not happening
Yuri/yuribait is going to be the future of not just Gundam, but anime in general, because it appeals both to gooners and wokes. Buckle down, if you thought Fukui writing and endless isekai was bad, you have no idea what's coming for you.

I mostly keep my gates closed hopefully my choices prosper if not there is a big enough back log to probably hold me over for my life.

One show I'd like to see, get a legitimate American release again is the 1986 OVA Prefectural Earth Defense Force, which since this was the 1980s was based on a manga. In this case by artist Koichiro Yasunaga, PEDF was serialized in Shonen Sunday from 1983 to 1985 and later collected in four-volumes. The OVA, which consists of three episodes and a promotion for a non-existent fourth episode, comes out to about 50 minutes. The story deals with a sinister organization. the "Phone Pole Team" bent on world conquest, but they're going to start small and try to take over one prefecture somewhere in Kyushu first. Three high school students are lured with promises of fat expense accounts into joining the titular defense force, formed on the orders of the prefecture's governor to defend against the evil, overseen by their math teacher. An extremely irritated Indian exchange student who was accidentally turned into a super-powered cyborg at the local university hospital is found by the teacher and recruited into the PEDF, but on the other side is the evil "Phone Pole Team" and their agents Baradagi and Scope though as it turns out, Baradagi is also a high school student, working for the "Phone Pole Team" is her part-time afterschool job...it's been a favorite since I first saw it on some beat-up fansubbed old VHS tape what feels like ages ago, it has some great, fluid animation, a great sound track and fun, goofy comedy.
While it did have American fans over the years, through the 80s, 90s and into the Aughts it didn't get picked up by any of the US distributors until the big Aughties anime boom in America. ADV released it. Oh boy, did they release it, as a limited sub-only DVD release available only through their company website. What promotion and advertising for the release there was was barely there. Now when a copy of the DVD pops up on eBay and elsewhere, you will never find it being sold for below $100. Not to mention the prices I've seen CD copies of the soundtrack going for whenever it pops up. It probably would have done well if it had gotten a US release in the 1990s, when OVAs were getting a lot of the licenses and new fans were getting into short comedy OVAs like Dragon Half. Once the market shifted toward longer series, it was harder for these older OVAs to stand out.
For curiosity's sake, here's the manga.

I'm glad the idea sounds plausible then, after I wrote my previous reply I was wondering whether you can actually someone for attempted defamation if you've got enough proof.
This is what got me into reading Oshi no Ko in the first place, all these little details about how the entertainment industry operates. I for one cared a lot more about that than the plot, which is probably why I didn't feel the inconsistencies to be that apparent until now. Now that all of that has been set aside for the sake of the plot. And Hikaru being a bit too one-dimensional doesn't help either.

Unless you're severely autistic, does it honestly matter?
I certainly look like a huge 'weeb' here between my heavy consumption of mangas (and Japanese games) alongside of my proficiency in moonrunes, but nobody will ever catch me buying/wearing anime-related clothes IRL or anything similar of the sort. Much like I never had any wish to become Japanese or living there either, I'm perfectly fine with my own nationality as a stinky cheese eater with all its pros & cons. So I guess it balances out?
In addition to be a political sperg, you also come off as a total newbie if you believe yuri(bait) is something remotely new to Japanese media (anime, mangas, games) as a whole or influenced by external forces.You know that's not happening

There are like a total of five actually Yuri genre Japanese TV anime been made including the one, Tensei Oujo, in same season with G-witch S2 airing (Jan-April 2023). Five in maybe a couple of hundreds of TV anime has been made from then to now, more than a year. Only Maho Ako is notable here. Unless, you want to count so called Yuri-bait and shipping, then I guess there would be already a loads of them before G-witch now don't they? What were the really notable Yuri and "Yuri" anime before G-witch? Yuru Yuri, Bloom into you, Citrus and Madoka.You know that's not happening
Only Bloom into you is the safest for normies but let me introduce to you, one autist obsesses with the show, roseimon11 (reddit profile). It has been 6 years since the show ends, that person is still only posting about the show and zero other Yuri series. Upvotes abusing (use old.reddit.com to bypass 18+ warnings) it's literally posting same shit for the first and third red highlight on r/anime.
Also, don't tell you also forget a bunch of old anime had been and currently being remade?
Majority of anime are adaptation. If you wanna complain about nigs and wokeness, go do that on original anime ones. Surely anime like Carole and Tuesday were popular right? Especially with that mermaid singing group, totally memorable moment. I hope you nerds still remember it. For god sake, stop associating with Yuri and BL for wokeness.
Funny how you complain about "gooners", yet I see lots of people more complaining about toning down ecchi fanservice in anime adaptation and vidya games way more. Literally examples can easily be found on here. Also, only one way to find out in October for Ranma 1/2.
I find it's annoying, "gooners" are now replacing "coomers" because Idk, too icky to say with the latter or something. Why even using the lesser serious of bad behaviour word to call out degenerates. Meanwhile having no problem in using the word "pedo" casually, especially when pedo is a more serious problem. But it's so funny, teehee. Congratulation, you are now fitting in zoomer trashy internet humor and speech.
What was your complaint about Trigger being gooner with Transformers again? A music video to celebrate 40th anniversary, I guess even the owner of Transformers is so poor that they can't have a proper anime adaptation.
Bump of Chicken does music, it's like "Oh hey, DunMeshi has Trigger and BoC. Lets do it again". I'm sure any Transformers nerds are happily recognizing entire franchise in the video.

No, same sex relationships are awful narrative and writing wise maybe even universaly. Unlike straight relationship that has both the epilogue of the romance (childbirth) and initial differences between the man and the woman, same sex as romance don't have gender differences and basically ends with "and then they fucked".You know that's not happening
If you want the porn of woman on woman (which nowadays is extremely vanilla and won't appeal to gooners) then just watch hentai.
It's way easier to have a resident lesbo character to tease sex with every XX person on the cast, which most people will probably find more alluring than carpet on carpet action.

Yeah, that's me. I enjoy muh animes without giving in to merchandise and stuff. Way too ashamed to do that, before myself first and foremost. I guess you're right.

It actually feels in a weird way like the difference between Mashle Season 1 and Mashle Season 2.
If you were fortunate enough to miss this title: Season 1 is a parody of Harry Potter where the main character doesn't have any magic, but is super strong so he just physically beats down his magic reliant opponents. The joke got kind of old by the end of the season, but it was relatively consistent.
Season 2 is a Shounen Style tournament arc where they drop most of the parody elements and instead focus on character drama. The problem is the characters are the most boring fucking shounen characters in the universe. They're all very one dimensional because they were made to be jokes.
You have entire fights where characters will just keep using the only spell they were written to know, over and over again until it magically works because the plot needs it to happen that way. It was honestly grating.

For some reason the Geass anime channel is livestreaming R1 in batches of 3 episodes but inserting a ton of toy ads and roze clips. Really does reinforce what set the franchise apart. It was a grounded take on Gundam without the fantastical plot armor bullshit on every plot relevant character's mech and apparently no concept of the Force or Jedi from star wars, which Geass takes on a lot of similarities to. Except there's something about immortality being tied to it.
While they are in the business of retconning history with Lost Stories, I would love an alternate timeline where Lelouch wins at the end of R1, Nunnally is not relevant to the final battle at all, and R2 is about now defending Japan from retaliating Britannian forces. Which would make the energy shield introduced in Roze more plot relevant. Since there's no way in hell that's all getting built in a few short years. But the gacha already timeskipped to R2 and back into wacky OCDONUTSTEEL Gundam territory again with the protagonist being named "Mario Garfield" as a Engrish cover name. They've also already started a collab event with the Roze characters in game.
It really feels like Geass fans largely don't know what they want from the franchise besides either more stupid fujoshi shipping or it to stay dead with nothing happening post-R2.
