valid to bully Gunmax
First time I got characters from BP on the outro screen, Pouty Boy <3
so looking back on it I wasn't expecting how far into orbit this mission would send my sides from laughing so hard
YUTA BBY YOU'RE DOING FINE I PROMISE
SEE? Kaidoh, of all people, Ikumi-freakin'-KAIDOH agrees you're doing fine! (I know he's mellowed out by GGGvsBM, but still)
"You're over 5m tall, do you really think whispering is going to work?"
There's too much good dialog here with a 30 image limit in posts, and I want to stick to one post per mission, but of COURSE Mamoru would get a bit intense with Shadow-Maru because of Volfogg. ;o;
Oh I like where this is going.
Mamoru, Mic Sounders the 13th is my favorite of the GGG 'bots, but this is maybe a bit much. /wheeze
do it for Yuta, Gunmax
Deckerd runs a sneaky interference before he blows a circuit! (but ngl Gunmax singing Power of Desire with Mic would be amazing actually)
Uh oh, we got trouble! Huh, Yuta can ride in there? Can't say I remember that but it's been a hot minute.
GOODBYE FRIENDS I AM GONE
Meanwhile Shadow-Maru absolutely hams it up for the entire mission
Yuta, Mamoru, and Kaidoh realizing this whole thing was probably a bad idea in 3... 2... 1...
They did it because they just want Yuta to be happy!
Once everyone drops the act and the Dreisstrager shows up fashionably late the BP squad goes, "lol nah this is OUR show"
HE'S ACTUALLY GETTING INTO IT?
YOU TWO ARE NOT HELPING
Yeah he's not dropping that ever, is he.
Everyone got "inspiration", but before Mamoru could get to Deckerd it was interrupted by the attack. Yeah, I think they've already got you beat on your advice, Cap'n. c:
15/10 mission, I was not expecting this interaction at all with these two series but I'm glad I got to witness Gunmax completely obliterate himself from embarrassment

Farewell to One of Anime’s Great Character Designers: RIP Kimura Takahiro
I normally don’t write about the death of anime and manga figures that often, preferring to save it for people I feel have influenced me in major ways. But here we are again with animator and character designer Kimura Takahiro, who passed away on March 5 from amyloidosis. He was 58.
Kimura worked on series like Gaogaigar, Betterman, Godannar!!, Brigadoon: Marin & Melan, , Gun x Sword, and Code…

Mad props to the artists, songwriters, vocalists, etc. etc. behind any given version of Chin Requiem for managing to nail a perfect intersection of horrifying, downright feral, and somehow hopeful and inspirational tones. There’s a vocal range at work there you just don’t see often.
