I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

[elementalhero]

So there is this new anime that just began airing in Japan on October 3rd.

It's called Star Driver.

I just watched the first episode.

Where has this been my entire life???

To summarize, it's like if Gurren Lagann and Sailor Moon got married and had a baby that would grow up to be Liberace, if Liberace exploded people's faces with mechas by performing ballet while wearing one of the most dramatic capes in the history of dramatic capes.

My real-time reactions can be read here.


I have a NEW ANIME, people. Let's hope this one doesn't break my heart like the last one. (sob, Code Geass, why do I continue to watch you even though I know it only ever ends in teeeears)

OH THAT REMINDS ME:

Mamoru Miyano is the fabulous main character, and Jun Fukuyama is his Blue Oni counterpart.

*~~~~~~~~*

I may. I may cry. With joy.

OH AND I NEGLECTED TO MENTION THE FACT THAT HE

ACTUALLY

HAS A MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE HE DOES EVERY TIME HE GETS IN THE MECHA

SO BASICALLY

THIS ANIME TAKES ALL OF THE SUBTEXTUAL GAYNESS THAT IS INHERENT IN SHONEN, AND LETS IT OUT OF THE CLOSET?

EMPHATICALLY YES.
