Well, for one this only applies to Texas residents. So this doesn't really matter to anyone outside of Texas unless it spreads.

Additionally, while I can certainly see the potential for abuse (all laws and bills have this by the way), it seems to be good-intentioned in mostly being particular about the kind of depictions it is trying to prevent (including AI generated content). While one small part of the law could potentially be abused via misinterpretation, my counterpoint would be:

Explain why an animated cartoon needs a scene depicting child sexual abuse. Like, why is it important to the art of the animated work?

Its easy to understand with something like Perfect Blue (even though Mima is 21 and therefore not a minor so this wouldn't even apply), Goblin Slayer, or Kill la Kill, but there are other works that would be more difficult.to rationalize.

Trebek, I'll take "Sentences That Are Entirely False" for 500.

Cool key visual. Reminds me of the opening of Cowboy Bebop and Gunsmithcats.

It was the first part of Season 2, and the second part of Season 2 was when Raphtalia was separated from Naofumi. The second part was way better than the first part.

Hope its better than the Turtle Arc. That really hurt the show.

Pfff. What a fraud. /s

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out.

I liked Goblin Slayer. Dark doesn't bother me, as long as the show is good and holds my attention.

Both PatLabor and Escaflowne are on my watchlist, I just didn't mention them. Thank you for the other recommendations though, I will look into them.

Thanks for the recommendations, Ill take a look.

Yes, Do You Remember Love is good, but IMO it doesn't quite match the anime. Which is to be expected given its significantly shorter run time.

Yes, I saw an ad for it and have had my eye on it.

I like the style of mecha in both, I like that the story featured mecha very heavily, but spent more or less equal time focusing on the lives of the pilots outside of the mecha. Both were incredibly well written, the soundtrack of both was great, etc.

With Macross, I found the style of mecha changed with later Macross titles and I just didn't like the designs. I also didnt like that the focus seemed to shift too much away from the mecha.

Regarding Gundam, I find the anime difficult to watch because it doesn't hold my interest, though I have a hard time explaining why. I also dislike the overly blocky mecha design. A very similar design to G1 Transformers, I just don't like that style.

Are there good modern mecha anime that match older anime like Super Dimension Fortress Macross or Neon Genesis Evangelion?

I know it may be a hot take, but I am not personally a fan of Gundam. Which seems like a perfect fit but for whatever reason every time I have tried to watch it I just never make it more than a few episodes in. Also ironically not a fan of Macross beyond SDF Macross and Macross II Lovers Again.

I've already seen these mecha and mecha adjacent anime:

• Full Metal Panic! (Liked it a lot until like season 3 which IIRC was called invisible victory or something)

• Gurren Lagann (It seemed okay but I never finished it)

• Bubblegum Crisis (loved this one, peak anime, not Tokyo 2040 though)

• Darling in the Franxx (really liked this one until the last like 3 episodes, shame it had to end so badly)

• Knights and Magic (I liked it but I havent finished it)

• Project AKo (fun, but only a minor bit of mecha)

• Sei Juushi Bismarck (i liked this one)

• Armored Tropper VOTOMS (its on my watchlist)

I heard someone recommend me 86, but I havent looked into it yet. If anyone has watched it, and knows what I have seen, does it match the shows on the list?
