krpalmer | Tagging Sooner Than I'd Thought (or, bouncing back) (Reply)

While I’ve been a little cautious over the years about stretching this journal’s tag list out to no end, putting together a post about Gunbuster got me thinking about the anime titles I have specific tags for, and how I haven’t posted about some of them for quite a while. With that, adding a Gunbuster tag seemed reasonable enough, but as I did that I was mostly thinking of looking further back for other posts I could also add it to. Just a few days later, though, I did happen to notice Bob Clark commenting elsewhere on the OVAs, in enough detail I thought I could record links here as I’d done when he commented on Macross DYRL. In thinking back to that, though, I wondered about Clark “only getting to Gunbuster now,” given I also know he has considerable respect for Hideaki Anno’s other works (even as I have to acknowledge it’s been a while since I’ve last seen those longer series myself, and how it can easy enough to slide into “identifying tragic flaws” with His and Her Circumstances, Evangelion, and even Nadia). With a bit of looking, though, I realised he had looked at Gunbuster before. There’s certainly nothing wrong with “continuing to enjoy something,” of course.
