      Funniest shit ever is that those types think Jin-Roh is cool because the Wehrmacht-esque power armor and fail to see that the protagonist literally turns against the fascist government and joins the rebels.

        wow-cool-robot lol. Love everything Oshii got his hands on that I've seen - still need to get around to his run on Urusei Yatsura.

          totally unrelated except that it is a new (unfathomably based) anime I watched recently, have you seen Blue Eye Samurai?

          The protag is heavily coded as a trans man and it revolves around Mizu trying to find the four anglos in Japan around the time of the introduction of firearms and kill all of them in a quest for revenge against their father.

            I haven't yet. I've heard good things, but the space in my heart for a cool NGC warrior is currently held by Rose of Versailles lol. Since I'm watching BeruBara with the GPP podcast, I'll probably be ready for Blue Eye Samurai after they've finished the second season.
