Yeah, definitely saw some Matrix level hilarity around Final Wars haha. The Heisei set looks great, though would you say the entire franchise is worth checking out all around and just going in release date order? That's probably how I'd tackle it.
I know one thing I'll love in a lot of them I'm sure, will be the music. Since classic Japanese media always has some kick ass quality in that department. When I played the Shadow of the Colossus remake earlier this year I remembered that Kou Otani apparently scored some (?) Godzilla films himself. I could definitely see it with the epic style of SoTC's score, loved it.

Do you have the X-Nebula mkv files? Those might be the best release. I was surprised to see Xabungle got a somewhat upgraded mp4 release awhile back. I know the new BD release is "SD on BD" though, but I'm sure it's solid quality. Votoms will be interesting, the GP DVD subs release was incredible, so I imagine the SD on BD release will be of that level I hope. The old US DVD's were honestly pretty bad...
I know the bike scene exactly when you mention it, haha. I think what's neat about Dougram is you can really tell it's an interesting blend of Takahashi's style with the politics and guerilla warfare intricacies, but Takeyuki Kanda seems to be credited as director as well and I'd say that might come through with the fun character interactions and whatnot. Kind of reminds me of Vifam in ways sometimes.
Makes me want to rewatch the King Kong one haha, sounds fun. So I guess Shin is just like the classic original story, military vs Godzilla?
Is Final Wars the one that's ridiculously over the top and hilarious? Think that's one I recall seeing crazy things about a few years ago. lol
So far I can tell it'll be one of the best. It's quite serious and the production is really good. Easy to see how it gets compared to Ideon, it looks like 70's super robot flare on the outside but it's much more in line with the grimdark 80's stuff. The main mecha doesn't even seem to come into play until episode 4 which is crazy, so you can tell it wants to be a space drama first. Kaneto Shiozawa as the lead is amazing. Truly feels like a hidden gem. I bought the movie too which I saw ages ago, so it'll be fun to revisit that after I'm done, I remember it leaving a really good impression on me.
Dougram's all about Lecoque! Hehe, yeah the production is abysmal but the series has a lot of charm. Whenever I hear that classic helicopter noise I think of Dougram now. It's fascinating how this got to be a whopping 75 episodes, no Tomino series ever tapped out at that length.
It was cool how some random episodes or parts looked good at times though, probably the episodes Norio Shioyama himself worked on. People always joked they were the "BEEF" parts since characters would suddenly look so vascular and detailed, lol.
I don't have much to say on classic monster movies. I grew up on a lot of the Godzilla dubs and had a childhood friend who was really into them haha.Was a big fan of Ghidorah and MechaGodzilla, I don't recall liking the King Kong one since it seemed so silly (King Kong swinging Godzilla around by the tail)... lol. I'd like to watch the series at some point though. I did watch the original Godzilla movie and the 1985s reboot one a few years ago in 2015, they were pretty cool. I also remember catching a lot of Godzilla Jr or whatever his son was on TV growing up. Might check out more someday. Did you watch the Hideaki Anno one?
As for "Nadia: Secret of Blue Water" it's a love-hate relationship. I love the first 22 episodes. Then I hate the filler arc, especially episode 33. If it wasn't for the filler arc, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a 9/10 score.
The recent kamen riders have definitely been fun rides whose scopes expanded far beyond my expectations. But I can definitely understand if you've felt the need to take a break from that and mahou shoujo stuff. They're fun but still pretty simple. Can't get myself to be hyped about more SRW though. I've only played like three of them and I'm already kind of bored of the formula. Something about the pace of those games just puts me to sleep. I hope they release the new gundam versus here tho, that's much more my jam.
I've fallen massively behind on anime and toku and whatnot since I picked up digital art as a hobby. Very time-consuming. But I did finish KR build and drive. Those were a blast. I'm like 2 seasons behind on precure so that'll be a bitch to catch up on. Also starting the final season of doremi, which I'm certain won't disappoint.
The part 5 adaptation is fantastic so far. I'm glad I forgot so much about the manga, it's like going through it for the first time again. Giorno's still a weak-ass protag but it's fun how much more bizarre it is than part 4.
My only reservations with moving the series to Nintendo are that their hardware isn't up to snuff and at the end of the day they're still centralized, so if someone down the line decides they hate fan service, it's back to the drawing board. Neither of those problems exist on PC, so that'd be the ideal for me.
I would love to see Asuka in Smash... although I doubt they'd go for the trademark clothing damage to be included haha.
I can't check it right now but I think I did all the side-quests and got highest bracer rank. If I remember correctly it took me 60 hours to do so :-)
I would also like to play the other games first, but I have only PC, so I can't do it (unless emulator is an option). But I don't think they are necessary to enjoy the game. You would most likely only notice more references to the previous games.
I played few JRPG this year but completed only two: NieR: Automata and Tales of Berseria. I've played FF X on a borrowed PS back in the days, but never completed it. The HD remaster is on my radar for a while, but I don't know when will I have time to play it...
So I completed Trails in the Sky: SC sometime last year, and Tales of Berseria this year (it took me a while :D).
Last Friday I bought Trails of Cold Steel on Steam. And now, instead of watching anime, I'm playing this game :D
And I'm loving it :D
