If you want to watch a #scifi #anime about cute girls in space, try the Girl who leapt through space.

The anime that Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is based on has a sequel, so I wouldn't be surprised if that got a remake too.

I watched Exception, because even though it didn't seem that interesting, I am a fan of sci-fi, and I wanted to see where they went with it.

Exception was a Netflix anime production.

It was very serious (no humor or silliness to break the ice). It's about people (who are literally clones printed out of a bio 3D printer) trying to colonize an uninhabited planet (barely inhabitable). One of them tries to get everyone killed because they are killing a particular bacterium or something.

That's the plot.

I made an exception (hah exception) for Kado because it was an interesting concept (and it was a number of years ago).

Kado was a bit of a thought experiment anime like "what would happen if we had infinite energy?" and they could have leaned into that more.

When someone goes out of their way to watch something they hate just so they can complain. #anime @anime

There isn't a whole lot of anime content on here, other than someone going out of their way to watch something they hate just so they can complain, and a few good bots, so I figured I'd add a bit of my own.

I might repost a couple of posts as there appears to be a bit of inconsistent federation.

I also watched some Case Closed which also has a lot of episodes.

Watching Dragon Ball is a bit like watching One Piece, there is something like a thousand episodes and there are other titles I could watch (or books to read).

Of course, it's not just them slaying monsters to collect magic rocks. They learn new spells / abilities and level up too in some way.

Then again, maybe those are just the ones that Western folks are interested in (although, I doubt they'd go out of their way to find something nationalistic).

Naturally, the storyline varies but the characters do like to talk about buying up prime real estate.

Then, there are Korean ones which are like "I'm going to go through this portal to another world to hunt down monsters to get monster hides / magic crystals in the monsters to sell so I can make enough money to become a real estate tycoon."

If I were to compare them to an anime, it would have to be Dragon Ball. Similar sort of mythology.

If you read quite a few Japanese light novels, you might encounter the Chinese ones which are more oriented around martial arts or mythology.

I think they have some interesting concepts, although can be overly nationalistic, especially within the past few years.

I get that Gate had a streak of nationalism in it, but these ones are far more nationalistic. Also, while Hollywood has titles which are overtly nationalistic like the ones where America liberates countries, it isn't as frequent.

That is also probably why there won't be another No Game No Life season, although who knows, they seem to revisit every show.

The light novel would be the main product.

For instance, there might be a relic from ancient times which appears, then Ainz might take a defensive posture. But, practically speaking, the relic might be limited in it's utility.

The intermissions are a slow drip. Each book only has a short one and it can be years before a new book comes out.

It gets the point across though.

Anytime there is a "sign" (which predictably adds to Ainz's paranoia) that there might be someone powerful or a powerful force out there, the intermission puts that idea to rest.
