Finished my Gundam 00 rewatch. Overall it holds up well. I might be the only person who likes season 2 more than season 1 though! I also watched the Gundam 00 movie for the first time. I'd say I liked it about as much as the TV series. I would go into details on why but that's spoilers and spoilers are a massive pain on this platform so I won't bother.

Since I was in a Gundam mood I also watched the SEED Freedom movie. I thought it was kinda bad. Not as bad as SEED Destiny because that would take some real effort, but still worse than SEED itself. Gotta admire the director's dedication to horniness. Never gotten such a view of a woman's ass while she was sitting in a chair before. How does that even work? Anyways, decent action but horrible plot. Also, I could've sworn the guns that shoot green lasers were also making Imperial Tie Fighter laser noises. I need to do a side-by-side comparison.

I felt like doing more anime things, so inspired by the Quest for the Best podcast I watched my first Uma Musume thing: the Beginning of a New Era movie. It was really well-made. The characters were fun. The story was well-written. Absolutely no complaints about the animation. I think I just fundamentally don't care even one iota about horse racing or idols, so the movie fell a little flat for me. I still enjoyed it, just not nearly as much as some others seem to have.

Edit: Forgot to mention I also got caught up on Mechanical Marie. Forgettable really is the word for this show. It was definitely better than the SEED Freedom movie but it can't stand up to anything else on this list. The story and characters are fine, but if I'm being honest it's barely animated.
