#introduction

Hi everyone! New to the mastodon-verse (clearly)!

I'm a #phd #historian working in #technology and loving it. You'll find my posts range from academic pursuits to anime and geek fandom to technology (and whatever else strikes my fancy).

I have a lot to learn and I'm excited to get down to it.

I FINISHED ANOTHER #GUNDAM KIT! this time it's Aerial who gets to join the Witch from Mercury #gunpla club (along with founding member Lftith)! Next is Aerial Rebuild then Calibarn. #anime all of these so far are the HG kits. #model #kit #modelkit

I Was Run Over By Truck-kun, and Now the Goddess is Sending Me to an Anime World of My Choice. Wait?! Why Are There Only Isekai Anime to Choose From?!?

If you haven't figured out the theme of this #anime #poll for what I watch next, it's all about Isekai anime!

I put my anime list on random, and selected the first 8 isekai shows that popped up. This time I'm allowing multiple choice to see how the results go.

Please boost!

It's funny how it's literally a naval ship but in space.

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 was an interesting remake of the original. Sci-fi ship action. #anime

About time for lunch. #anime

This shot from the 5th episode of Macross Frontier #anime shows off the huge scale of Island 1.

Sheryl drags Alto around as her personal tour guide, but things slowly begin to change between them. We've seen Sheryl be a bitchy super star, but now she is slowly revealed to be someone who appreciates being treated like a normal person.

And Alto, who is actually a super star in his own right but is on the run from his family and stardom, is the perfect person to connect with her.

Time for bed. Goodnight. 😴 #anime #gurrenlagann

Do you think Vegeta would be able to survive in Gensokyo? Lol #touhou

Wait! WUT?! A new #macross #anime being developed by... Sunrise?!

https://macross.jp/news-detail/24008/

"At the production Sunrise, the new "Macross" animation project has started!"

Excited for more Macross, of course, but also very curious why Sunrise is handling it rather than Satelight.

Do your kids a favor and acquaint them with Studio Ghibli. Magical movies of profound beauty and humanism. An antidote to modern animation, frenetic and snarky at all times.
