Warning: any kind of answer you get from me is going to be skewed towards mecha, and I’ve not watched a lot of stuff I should have, but I’ll at least give you the stuff I really like.

Shin Mazinger Z-Hen: A REALLY great take on Mazinger Z with a bit of a Greek-style storytelling angle to it. A lot of other Go Nagai stuff pops up in it, too, which makes it fun.
King of Braves GaoGaiGar: It starts slow but it’s everything good about super robot shows, and while it’s pretty monster-of-the-week for a while there’s always something being added. Great themes of courage and the resilience of the human spirit. After watching it, watch the OVA GaoGaiGar FINAL.
Aim for the Top! Gunbuster: Gainax’s first TV anime. Has a good ramp up and a GREAT story and characters. The ending still gets me. Noriko is love.
Aim for the Top 2! Diebuster: The sequel to Gunbuster with a wholly different style reflective of Gainax’s FLCL era when it was made. Might take a bit to get over the 16-year style whiplash, but it’s still good. Some would say not as good as the first, though. The ending still gets me. Nono is love.
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann: Might as well round out the Gainax train here. Pretty much a love letter to everything super robot. It got super popular when it was airing and thus got a lot of backlash. I watched it at a very particular time in my life and it ended up affecting me a lot so it’s impossible to not recommend. The classic anime theme of believing in yourself is taken to the extreme here, and it becomes pretty emotional. The animation is great (Aside from episode 4) and guys that worked on this would go on to form studio Trigger.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079: Guess I can’t have one of these without some Gundam on it, so why not the original? Dated animation and drags at times, but you can see the founding of so many cliches and plots that are still used today. There’s a reason that Gundam is a household name. Tomino is a fucking crazy person, but sometimes he’s crazy in the right direction.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Classic super robot shows filtered through a Gundam lens. Super fucking nutso but god damn if it isn’t a fun ride. Probably the only one of these where I’d say that the English dub is just as fun simply because of the hokey delivery fitting the tone so very well. In a pinch, I’d still go with the original voices, though.
Macross Plus: I’m probably going to get some flak for this, but this is the only Macross I can actually stand. Basically just Top Gun in anime form but I love it so, so much.
My Hero Academia: Yeah, I have to. It’s excellent. Everything about it is just really really good and heartwarming. The characters are great.
God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! (Konosuba): Probably the absolute funniest anime I’ve ever watched ever and the only isekai I can stand. Everyone is an asshole, but they’re all still lovable. Darkness is best girl come at me.

I know there’s more I should recommend, but I can’t think of them right now. I’m currently watching Symphogear all the way through and I’m loving it so far, so go with that.

Not at the current time, I’m really sorry. I don’t take commissions or requests all that often because dumb stress reasons.

Sunset is horse years old.

new phone who dis

There’s others but for some reason the Martian Queen was the first that came to mind.

I have zero confidence in myself to be able to keep up with Patreon rewards. It’s why I don’t advertise that I have one very often and use it more as a tip jar. I’m so infrequent with my art that I’d go nuts if I tried and then I’d have just let down the people who paid to get a thing from me. I don’t want that.

If you like my stuff and you want to support me, then awesome, thank you a hell of a lot. If not, then no biggie, that’s cool too. You do you.

I’ll try

So sometimes when I feel like utter shit I do this thing where I go to bingewatch a show that I think will be garbage in order to feel like garbage both inside and out. I have no idea why I do it, maybe I feel like I don’t deserve to watch something good? I dunno, it’s some weird bullshit with my mind but it helps me cleanse myself somehow, fuck if I know.

Anyway, I was feeling like garbage and was sitting in a Blazblue Cross Tag Battle thread and decided to just bingewatch RWBY due to the people that were dumping on it. I figured it’d fill that role nicely and I’d get to wade in some next-level shit.

Turns out that I really, really liked it.

Yeah, its pretty janky early on. The voices take getting some used to and the animations are weird, but god fucking damn if it isn’t a solid shonen anime. I ended up loving all of the characters, the setting, the music, the totally edgy and over the top weapons, just everything. There’s definitely some cringe when you start, though, since it feels like the team doesn’t know what they want out of the show yet, but once they find that groove, holy shit. It just steadily improves and doesn’t stop. 

But yeah. I love Nora. And Penny. And Pyrrha. And Neo. And Ruby. And everyone really. Even Weiss. My only complaint with the show is that Ozpin is 110% responsible for everything that happens at Beacon in S3. Like full-stop due to his hesitation and inaction. I know they wanted to make him cautious, but he just comes off as indecisive and blind to everything around him. He lets Atlas just walk all over Beacon with giant armies and doesn’t really say much of anything and Cinder is able to pull off anything and everything she wants to do with minimal resistance. I really liked that the RWBY chibi shorts made fun of him not knowing about the blatant villains right under his noses.

So, yeah, I guess it was coincidental. I mean I wasn’t before, but now I’m totally excited for Season 5. The last time I bingewatched a show due to wanting to punish myself and ended up liking it entirely was MLP.

yes

i should draw her more

hey thanks
