So, scifi or space opera? If Scifi, look into Outlaw Star. It was made fairly close to Bepop.

What have you already watched? I'd hate to end up suggesting anime you've already seen

I'm a big fan of Solty Rei. Great scifi, story is good. In the same vein I'd recommend Moribito, as a fantasy anime.

I don't believe it was a Matsumoto series. He had a very distinct vision of space travel. Have you looked at the older Gundam series? Truthfully, they were widely popular enough I could see them getting a German run.

Which time are you referring to? It's been awhile since I watched it, but are you referring to the slap in DoD? Or maybe the one in Tenchi Forever (I can't remember if he slapped her then or not)? Give a little more background for us. Tenchi is a big multi-dimensilnal group of stories.

Since you have the switch, I recommend checking out Enchanted in the Moonlight. Loved Chikage's storyline. Word of warning, if you choose Kiryu, expect some weird stuff to happen...probably should avoid that storyline your first time diving in. I played through these (all but yukinojo and the wolf guy) on my tablet back before Voltage pulled my two favorites (Enchanted in the Moonlight and Her Love in the Force) for the switch. Would almost make buying a switch worthwhile to me to play them again. I've probably dumped too much money on VNs than is good for me. Honestly, playing VNs has made me aware that I have a type lol...didn't think I did until I looked back at all my number one VN guys lol.

This is the first year I've been truly disgusted with Battlebots. I may not have agreed with some of the judges' decisions in years past (most, though not all, of their rulings against Duck essentially), but the Hydra vs HUGE decision has me downright pissed. I can overlook the Rotator vs Beta decision as they have a teensy bit of leg to stand on there but there was nothing right about the Hydra vs HUGE decision. It showed no sportsmanship, was not a battle at all, and I think should have been a disqualification due to excessive pinning (free movement around the box was prevented). That was not a good match. It was not enjoyable to watch and it left me asking why. Maybe it's time to retire those judges. If more battles continue to end like they seem to be this season I won't be excited to see next year's season. Other than that, the first walkerbot, in a configuration I always figured would come out first for a walker! Very different from the old Chomp. Like a moth having emerged from it's cocoon

The only one I'm looking forward to is Log Horizon Season 3. I've been waiting for this season for what feels like forever.

Not all CGI is bad....just most all of it is! Hehe, I didn't watch the trailer but the snapshot on the front of the video looks like a cheap video game...imho anyways.

It's true. I did some Sims4 rebuilds yesterday. Planning on playing Fallen Order tonight. Just so tired >_>

I spent the wee hours of the morning playing Jedi Fallen Order. It looks so pretty on my new TV! Been cleaning house since I woke up that said. Cleaning out my closet. Threw out 3 bags of clothes, going to donate 5 bags. >_> My closet looks pretty roomy now.

I'd go with My Next Life as a Villianess: All Routes Lead to Doom! It was perfect.

As far as Gateways are concerned, start with Ghibli, then do a Shinkai film or two, before going into other anime. I find Ghibli tends to focus on bog themes with war vs pacifism, environmental custodialship, and the like in general whereas Shinkai delves more into the emotional exploration and development instead (like grief, love, longing, etc). If someone is able to enjoy and identify with both, chances are good you can successfully introduce them to other anime as well. My go to Shinkai films for newbies are Children Who Chase Lost Voices and Your Name.

I considered that actually when the Pluto flyby happened and we saw that Pluto had an atmosphere. That said, I think we should focus on getting established on Mars first before we dream too far ahead. Right now all eggs are in the Blue Planet's basket and a single planetwide extinction event will end us all. One colony at a time

I think I heard the rest of the eight chapter series has been fully greenlighted by Netflix so I'm super excited for it to be coming out! Especially episode 45 and 46. I actually bought the series for that.
