OH SHIT OH FUCK

What did you think of this week's chapter?

No break next week!

Hooboy another build-up episode- first half is the remaining 0079 era bits from the movie with Char trying to kill Kycilia with a big asteroid provided by the Federation (the more things change, the more things stay the same it seems). There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it freeze frame of Lalah stopping Char from shooting Sayla in Newtype space just before the Axis Shock/Zeknova happens that I didn't catch in the movie, but it's here in the show.

Overall I'd say this entire sequence felt better with the movies chronology, since it set up the big mystery of this timeline (what happened to Char?) and highlighted the danger of the Zeknova. I guess this was as good a place as any to put this tho, because we really couldn't continue the back half here without this context.

I'm not going to get too deep into the back half- a lot happens here. (And a distracting amount of Eva references.) But I do want to highlight a smaller character scene/detail that's only possible because we're playing in a franchise with 46 years of material-

Nyaan is a refugee from Side 2. Side 2 was the colony that Zeon gassed and then dropped on the Earth, the event that kicks off the One Year War.

That dinner scene between her and Kycillia would be like if George Bush gave a home cooked meal to an Iraqi kid, promising asylum and college entry if they just signed up for the US Military to test their latest weapon systems.

The entire back half, Nyaan has a deep-seated sadness within her, almost like her soul is being weighed down by gravity.

Oh shit is that my favourite Gulp Shitto, Quattro Bajeena!?

(Have some Kycillia Obaa-chan cute fanart.)

• Part 1
• Part 2

You can check those posts for discussions and glosses of other anime, which might help you decipher these. Like the previous two parts, the plot descriptions here are based on those from Anilist, so consider using that site for reference; you can also use things like title structure, character names, and occasional numerals to help you figure things out.

Last time, only one of the three anime were deciphered, so I will reprint the two unsolved ones with glosses of the "solved words" now.

Unsolved from the previous post

A few hints

With that out of the way, let's get into the new titles to translate! Please spoiler your guesses.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we are beginning the classic Gainax series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (1990), covering episodes 7 through 12. Join a rag-tag group of unlikely heroes on a steampunk adventure to find and save the lost city of Atlantis from an diabolical organization determined to rule the world. Stargate (1994) and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) pretty much ripped this series off. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Hayao Miyazaki wrote it, and Hideaki Anno was involved, too?

After that is James and the Giant Peach (1996), a stop-motion animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel of the same name, from The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) and Coraline (2009) director Henry Selic. A young orphan boy escapes his wicked aunts by going on a voyage to New York inside a giant peach filled with giant sentient bugs. Pretty awesome aesthetic in this one, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:

That's it thats the post

After that is Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops: The New Age (2011), one of over 40 Doraemon theatrical features, and, according to many people, the best one of them all. Elementary-school student Nobita and his robotic-plushie buddy, Doraemon, find the pieces of a giant mecha and assemble them into a super-robot. Uh-oh, turns out it’s a doomsday weapon sent by an army of evil mechanical aliens who are coming to conquer Earth. Great reviews for this one, so let’s check it out. We have never watched anything Doraemon-related, and the series’ continuity is minimal, so we can just jump in here. Director Yukiyo Teramoto also worked on Monster (2003) and a bunch of other Doraemon movies.
