Robotech: Gloval's Report (1985)
the compilation you've been waiting for
Robotech was one of the first anime i ever saw, and it's what got me into mecha anime. But it's hard for me to watch now in 2023. Its slow, and the battle scenes are mixed unnecessarily loud. I just want to get to the good stuff. I want to see the itano circus!
So i found myself looking for compilation films, so i can zip through the old stuff and get to the new stuff. No such films exist.
Enter Gloval's Report. It's a compilation of the first 13 episodes of robotech. And, for the casual viewer, it's a great way to "skim" the beginning of the series.
Some may call it a clip show. Some may call it filler or downvote it. But i feel like the first thirteen episodes are filler! Gloval's Report provides a way to cut the filler. For that, i am grateful.
Euphoria: All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name (2022)
connection and reflection
Lexi + rue's convo towards the end of the episode is one of my favorite moments from the entire series. The end of the play, the photo that's real, the lighting, the intimacy. So moving.
Also the single most unrealistic thing about the entire series? The budget for that set for lexi's play! So many looks, two separate revolves. No shot! No high school theater has hbo money like that.
I do feel unresolved that jules was barely in the two finale episodes. She busts the dvd, she glances at rue, and that's all we get. I guess it makes sense that she didn't make it in the play - i take for granted that she's new at the school - but i regret that she didn't get a sendoff like all the other characters.
