anime

serial experiments lain, ergo proxy, full metal panic (yea its got cringe school hijinks but its got really cool cold war soviet mecha badguys sometimes), special armored battalion Dorvack (on the borderline of so bad its good imo, its like a cheaper knockoff gundam, reuses a lot of animation sequences but sometimes has cool power armor guys show up later in the show), gundam IBO (look ima be honest i dont meet many people and i can barely get my friends to sometimes watch the original gundam series let alone this sometimes cringe but sometimes based spinoff about gay child soldier mercenaries that pretty much all die and their friends in the harem fantasy space yakuza, but despite all that the ending still gets to me and i cared about/related to the characters more than most shows. idealist but anti-corporate politics)
