    yeah, i figured it wouldn't read as weird, but then second guessed myself and thought i might be overestimating how common psionics are in broader scifi stuff because i've basically only been looking at mecha stuff where it's basically universal

    yeah that's basically gundam! though sometimes it isn't high school drama and is instead other kinds. like, in first gundam the school drama is reserved for members of the same faction, like char and garma (who are college exes) are both from zeon, while char and amuro are meeting each other and coming to understand each other on the battlefield. of course unjust depths is better than gundam at this on account of being about lesbians and communism

      Pooooooooosting!

      Haha what a nerd! Look at this mecha dork :)

      "Coming to understand eachother on the battlefield" cute lol. Gundam has been casually on my watchlist for a long time, but I am gonna have to shed my Unjust Depths related expectations whenever I do because yeah, lesbians and communism...

        the only gundams i'd say are even remotely on the same level as unjust depths are turn a gundam (basically a perfect show, not openly communist but like, has a material understanding of the world that never goes away and hates the industrialists, protagonist is probably trans? reads as such to me) and iron blooded orphans (about struggling against imperialism, but mostly about dudes and some of the women aren't treated amazingly) and though turn a especially is hitting hard i still prefer unjust depths

      Psionics in sf is less common now, but it was very common throughout 20th century sf.
