CW: Light discussion of the show's usage of Intellectual Disabilities

Look, you've seen it a billion times. A decade after the popular original, some wholly different team comes in and makes a gritty sequel or reboot that doesn't quite reach the highs of the original. Maybe it's in conversation with it in a way that still requires the original as a meaningful foundation, or maybe it just doesn't get the original at all. And sometimes there's an OVA sequel to a show that wasn't really all that popular in the first place that's like way better in every conceivable way???? Orguss 02 somehow really rips despite it all and it's really nice to talk to Mel about actually enjoying a thing for once. Thanks again to Mel for partnering with me for this, and please go check out her stuff!

The opening theme is just a cut down orguss theme and the ending theme is, uh, some other isekai anime chosen in tribute to Manny. We should be returning in January, from talks from up above, so be excited for that!
