((A few more rough written notes. As I go back through the old blog, I realized I put most of my energy into the character development, rather than the worldbuilding. We’ve got to balance that, this time.))

THE TOONAMI CARTOON NETWORK/KIDS’ WB ERA (1997-2008) ANIME SMACKDOWN WILL SOON COMMENCE!!

In this tournament we will determine which series that aired on the Toonami block from 1997-2008 that tumblr users enjoyed the most. The one you always made sure to watch or that left the biggest impression on you. And if you didn’t watch Toonami, then vote for the series you liked the best! When vote then  vote in the name of nostalgia over what series you think is best *today*. 

How was each series chosen? 

I sourced the anime included in the bracket based on the well documented Wikipedia page for Toonami. However in order to keep the bracket manageable and even the playing field some decision were made: 

Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Cardcaptors, Sailor Moon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh [GX], and Naruto are excluded due to their overwhelming popularity, so to even the field Yuyu Hakusho will be the only series with its high level of international fame to participate. These series will be included in another bracket [TBA]. However I chose to keep Dragon Ball GT due to how polarizing it was among fans.

For the sake of simplicity series that are in some way chronologically connected will go under the same entry. For example: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Tenchin Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo are entered together Tenchi Muyo! in the bracket. Zoids: New Century and Zoids: Chaotic Century are entered together as Zoids. Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Enegron, and Transformers: Cybertron are entered together as Transformers Trilogy. Gundam is excluded from this ruling as just about every entry are stand alone stories or exist within separate canons. 

Japanese-international co-productions will be in a bracket of its own [TBA]. However an exception will be made for Voltron, G-Force, and Robotech. While technically considered adaptions because of the reworked scripts and footage, they’re re-broadcasts of early attempts at anime distribution in the US, rather than an attempt at making something for an audience who are already familiar with/fans of anime. The Transformers trilogy is also exempt from this ruling despite being produced by Hasbro as I view them the same as a Bandai produced anime.

 Hamtaro is not seeded but is in fact going up against G-Force: Guardians of Space. (I accidentally wiped the whole bracket 3 separate times while making it and i am not redoing it at this time, sorry)

Every series in the bracket are listed below the cut!

Voltron (An adaption of Beast King Go-Lion with some episodes using footage from Armored Fleet Dairugger)

G-Force: Guardians of Space (An adaption of Science Team Gatchaman)

Robotech (a frankensteined version of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada)

Ronin Warrios (Known as Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers in Japan)

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

Tenchi Muyo! (Tenchi Muyo: Ryo-Ohki, Tenchi Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo all go under this entry)

Blue Submarine no. 6 (1998 OVA)

Outlaw Star

The Big O 

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)

Never before have a seen a show that so perfect captures the feeling of watching anime in the 90’s to early 2010’s.

1. Where the fuck do I watch this shit??? I have seen people watch the German dub of this just because that’s all they could find. If that’s not the same vibe of watching Superior Defender Gundam Force in Japanese with Spanish subs then I don’t know what dose

2. It’s not good but so close to being great. You know the amount of shit you just watched because it was anime? I remember, it wasn’t even that good but it seemed cool! Honestly this show has so many fun ideas but just doesn’t do anything with it

3. Romantic shit, I wanna strangle whoever decided that they would make this love square bull shit. I’m gonna throw you into a wall I sware to fuck. Remember the feeling of just giving up because you knew that ship wasn’t gonna happen?…. Yeh.. those were dark times

4. You feel embarrassed for watching it. Remember the first time your parents saw you watching anime…. Remember that gut reaction you had…. It’s the same shit. If you like this show… good for you…. But I can’t… I just can’t… the animation… the writing… it’s not for me… I would rather sit through watching beastars session 2 with my mom then watch this….

Dumb rant over, feel free to castrate me if you want I’m just talking out of my ass honestly

So I finished another Gundam show the other day:

Superior Defender Gundam Force is a show for 5 year-olds first and foremost but it's also super good. Unlike the other shows there's not much to say. It's a show about a boy and his cop robot friend saving the universe against evil robots with the power of friendship.

But it has really interesting ideas about how to SD-ify some classic gundams.

Zero as the Gundam Wing || Bakunetsumaru as the Shining Gundam

Gun Eagle as Nu Gundam || Chief Haro as Haro

SHOW RANKINGS:

----------------------------------------

Turn A Gundam

Gundam X

Mobile Suit Gundam 0079

0080 War in the Pocket

ZZ Gundam

SD Gundam Force

Victory Gundam

Char's Counterattack

F91

Zeta Gundam

08th MS Team

0083 Stardust Memory

Gundam Wing Endless Waltz

Gundam Wing

G Gundam

G-Saviour

Gundam Seed

And now it's onward to Gundam Seed Destiny.

Major Powers of the Solar System Era

Originally written by Infamous Empire

Earth Alliance: One of the most notable powers of the Solar System, The Earth Alliance, officially the Unified Earth Sphere Alliance, is a decentralized federal state made up of a number of member states which governs the Earth and its surrounding bodies. The Alliance is notable for not being entirely based upon the planet from which it takes its name, with more than half of its population residing in the Space Colonies which occupy its neighboring Lagrange Points. It is often noted that, historically, there has always been tension between the planet and the colonies, with war after war having been fought between them. The One-Year War, Bloody Valentine War, Gryps Conflict, Char’s Rebellion, all conflicts defined by the tension between Earth and its Colonies. While tensions have since cooled significantly, the Alliance still faced many internal troubles and revolts. Most notably the Mufti Attacks and the Omnic Uprising.

Today, the Alliance is a largely peaceful nation. It’s most notable societal feature being it’s renowned Hero system. Based upon the superheroics of old, heroes of Earth are trained to defend the populace from criminals, natural disasters, and, if required, military force. While often derided on other planets as “mercenaries in cosplay”, the residents of the Earth Sphere consider them national icons, worthy of the title “Hero”.

The Earth’s military, however, is noted to be in poorer shape. The military is often noted to be little more than a peacekeeping force, unfit for a protracted conflict. The Alliance’s Mobile Suits, which make up the bulk of its forces, are often criticized for being decades out of date. The Alliance Military’s most recent project is the F99 Record Breaker, an experimental Gundam-type MS designed with the best technology the modern age has to offer.

Martian Congressional Republic: The other major power in the Sol System, the MCR is a unitary parliamentary republic which governs over the planet Mars. While not as populous as the Alliance, Mars is much more technologically advanced, and has a greater hold over the Outer System colonies. The people of Mars are known for their militaristic attitude, with the navy and army often considered to be the most fierce and powerful in the Solar System. Despite these advances, Martian society is often criticized for its xenophobia and chauvinism towards the rest of humanity, as well as its focus on militarization and war over all else.

The MCR has always had an infamously antagonistic relationship with Earth, stemming from the bitterness of nationalists who blame the Earth Alliance for Mars no longer being the center of civilization in the Solar System. Such rogue elements would eventually go on to found the Settlement Defense Front, a radical political movement turned terrorist organization based around the belief that the people of Mars are superior to the rest of Humanity, and thus had the right to rule over the Solar System. The organization is led by the Vers family, descendants of the man who originally discovered Aldnoah, Solomon Epstein.

While initially a rather minor group, the SDF would gain notoriety across the Solar System during the McGillis Fareed Incident, in which the rogue Gjallarhorn officer McGillis Fareed allied with the SDF to start a system-wide war. While both McGillis and the SDF were crushed in the ensuing conflict, the Incident created a lot of tension and uncertainty among the Martian populace. The Vers Family, who had escaped consequences thanks to their political connections, used this fear to rally popular support among the populace, and become the ruling power within the MCR.

Gjallarhorn: Considered by most to be the Third Superpower of the Sol System, Gjallarhorn is not a nation in the traditional sense. The organization was founded during the Apocalypse to serve as a neutral peacekeeping force. With bases on every planet and a constant influx of recruits from every major nation, Gjallarhorn has retained its position and prestige for centuries.

However, despite technically being a neutral party, Gjallarhorn is often noted to have grown into a power in its own right. It’s leaders, an alliance of families known as the Seven Stars, used their position to accrue wealth for themselves, and a great many colonies which technically belong to Earth or Mars are often noted to be run by Gjallarhorn officials in all but name. Despite intense frustration, most minor nations and colonies couldn’t do anything about it, as Gjallarhorn maintained one of the largest militaries in the Solar System.

This status quo could not last forever, and indeed it was eventually overturned by the McGillis Fareed Incident. McGillis, the head of the Seven Stars’ Fareed Family, launched a revolt against Gjallarhorn, with dreams of overturning the corruption that had overtaken the organization. While fighting was fierce, McGillis soon found himself overwhelmed, and his revolution was crushed under Gjallarhorn’s heel.

Even so, while McGillis was defeated, his dream would end up being fulfilled nonetheless. Four of the Seven Stars had been exterminated during the conflict, and the remaining leadership were made very aware that the status quo could not be maintained. And thus, the Seven Stars system was dismantled, replaced by a democratic organization made up of representatives from every nation. Most corrupt officials were purged, and a more equal relationship was formed with the powers of the Solar System.

Despite all this reform, the organization did not disarm its massive military, and many colonies across the outer planets still often find themselves reeling under the heel of Gjallarhorn.

Outer Planets Alliance: While not usually recognized as a Major Power, especially in the Inner Planets, the Outer Planets Alliance plays a major role in the Sol System. The group, if it can even be called that, was founded in order to protest the control that Inner Planet powers such as Mars, Earth, and Gjallarhorn had over the Asteroid Belt and Outer Planets. From these humble beginnings the OPA grew into a cultural phenomenon in the outer planets, demanding full independence for the people of the outer spheres. Despite having a common goal and name, the OPA is not a nation or faction in the traditional sense, being more of a movement or network. Thus, the group’s activities and methods are defined primarily by it’s internal factions.

The most powerful and feared group within the OPA is the Jupiter Empire. Led by a mysterious man named “Callisto’s Shadow”, the Empire is officially recognized as merely being a political activist group, but in reality, the Empire is effectively a nation in it’s own right, ruling over most of the Jovian System. The Empire’s operations are largely handled under the aegis of Teiwaz, a front group which operates as a megacorporation with influence in every sector of business and a near monopoly on the trade routes between Jupiter, Mars, and Earth. The Empire is often criticized even within the OPA for its overt fascism and social darwinist philosophy, with even the most abundant resources being heavily rationed as a way of culling “the weak.” The Empire is also noted for its expansionist goals and antagonistic attitude, with the Empire’s goal being the conquest of the Inner Planets, which the people view as paradise due to resources being freely available. The Empire’s projects have been opposed and stopped, however, by the mysterious paramilitary force known as the Crossbone Vanguard.

The other most notable faction within the Outer Planets Alliance is the Tycho Station branch of the OPA. Based out of the Tycho Construction Station, this OPA, led by the outspoken former Earth Alliance soldier Fred Johnson, is often noted for its more benevolent approach towards belter independence, seeking diplomacy and recognition from the Superpowers rather than conflict and subterfuge. Because of this, Fred’s OPA is the most mainstream and visible of the OPA’s factions, and is often what most people refer to when they mention the organization. However, Fred’s OPA is fraught with conflict with other branches, the Jupiter Empire in particular has denounced them as spineless weaklings, and many of the more violent splinter cells have fallen outside of Fred’s influence, such as the forces of Anderson Dawes. Nevertheless, the organization continues to advocate for the independence of the belt.

((Hey all! This will be a mess of a first test post, but here we go-

This is a reboot of the SDGF roleplay/OC lore blog @on-guard-in-the-mist, whose password I have forgotten and cannot recover. The fandom is tiny and I don’t think I’ve talked to any of you in years, if at all. Hello. I am your weird neighbor now.

We’re a decade latter and putting all the lore in a blender to get something new - and what better way to demonstrate that then with a very VERY rough (and full of retcons already) sketch of what the world of Yggdrasil looks like now?

Yes I know we still don’t have an icon, but I chose a busy week to fall back down this rabbit hole and we’re working on it, I promise.))

[fostersffff]

The collection I found for the original standard definition, Ocean dub versions of Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny also included, as a bonus, all of SD Gundam Force, a show that I have not thought about at all since I caught glimpses of it on Toonami 15+ years ago.

My main takeaway? TV quality 3DCG has come a long goddamn way, but for a while it seemed like it was never going to progress past the late 90′s Mainframe Entertainment “everyone is moving like they’re marionettes” quality.

Also, for as much as the animation quality dates this, it is also dated by Puffy AmiYumi singing the opening.
