Yeah I recall how often people never shut up about SPC for years. It was like a rite of passage one must take to say they're an anime fan because they happen to see this show on TV once.
Macron 1 alone would be a mess to deal with since it was two shows crammed together as well. I'm glad they got Goshogun by itself (both the show and movie, though I prefer the movie only).
Nope, you just have to keep a VCR working.
So
So does Heero ever shoot up a school at some point in the series?
It was a decent episode.
That's what you get with Studio DEEN. Though it's not like the original anime had stellar animation either considering Toei's own palette was was pretty full in '85.
That one just didn't have a chance to shine. Just so we're clear here, the first series was Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (often translated for export markets as "Silver Fang") and the follow-up was Ginga Legend Weed. I first learned of these series through finding the first three volumes of the Weed manga that was published by a small-time manga publisher in the early 2000's called Comics One (if anyone remembers them), I think at the time people often referred to these shows as "Fist of the North Star with dogs" and they're right, it feels so much of that, though sadly I couldn't finish Weed as there was only 3 volumes released and nothing after that (I assume the publisher folded or dropped the series).
I've actually seen that a few times in different manhwa. Mostly with landscapes though. They'll take a real photo, and edit it somehow.
Not sure. I know there have been some copyright disputes in the past, but I don't know about that particular one. A lot of the copy right disputes stem from Asian companies having far less strict copyright laws than we do. Gate Thus the JSDF fought there's anime is on hold likely because there are alien xenomorphs in later chapters in addition to stuff taking place in real life venues like Mcdonalds. Of course you also have to consider that they rip each other off like motherfuckers anyway, which can be illegal in some cases even over there, so it really wouldn't surprise me if some manga artist didn't get their manga axed for something like that. Shit is crazy competitive over there. Recall that, that whole anime studio mass killing in Kyoto was over a guy who thought they stole his content.
I'm assuming you're talking about the spies that come into play later. I'm not really sure tbh. They haven't really cared if things were offensive in the past, so I don't know why they'd change now. Remember, Rory killed soldiers from the US, China, and Russia during the bath house fight, and they even joked about knowing some of the soldiers were from the US because they had nigs. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that they changed the target audience from young adults, to teens going from the manga to the anime, I would think that they'd of still kept in the rape scenes. Really, if China keeps pissing the internet off, it might make them double down on things to keep up with the internet zeitgeist, and thus appeal more to their target audience.
Not sure. I know the last about 10 chapters or so of the manga have just absolutely railed against the media, and the anime so far has been kinda critical of it, so who knows. Hasn't gotten to the part where the empire is trying false flags yet, which is where the big anti media stuff comes in. As it stands, the Japanese LDP party has a super majority so I can't imagine that they would care too much about running that kind of content, even if it pissed some people off.

I remember the No Game No Life guy got in a lot of trouble for something like that but don't remember exactly what.
