Another classic mecha anime. Strong characters, emotionally charged. Truly cinematic execution.

Classic sci-fi military mecha anime. Good worldbuilding and decent pacing for its time. Entertaining even if it is a merchandising tool.

Classic mecha anime. Excellent visuals and sound. Focuses on characters and their relationships.

A rebel’s cheesy recruitment drive against evil imperial forces. Not totally cringe but only because I don’t expect much from Hack Snyder.

In Book 2, Dr Michael E. Salla focuses on the space program run by the US Navy with influence from the so-called Nordics.

Revival collects Issues 7 to 12 and is set two years after the events of Bloodlines.

Set in 2200—about twenty-one years after the film Aliens—this story follows Gabriel Cruz, a security veteran for Weyland-Yutani.

Despite some weaknesses in the opening and in characterizations, it is a well-produced sci-fi thriller that is interesting enough.
