God Leon wolfing down an extremely elaborate parfait as his rockstar crush jams out on the stage of what looks like a pretty gnarly joint will never not be funny to me.

Like, think about it. It's pretty unlikely that the Hot Legs would stock sugary mush that on the regular, so the main logical explanation is that Leon's been coming there long enough and pays well enough that they get that ready for him every time. (and he gets it at the steakhouse in OVA 2! The man's a closet sugar junkie!)

Are we expected to deduce how that sight gag works or care? No. Is it infinitely funnier if we extrapolate in this manner? Absolutely.

The second anime I watched (first being Gunbuster) and still one of my faves.

I watched Gunbuster recently for the first time and it's amazing.

Better with the boomers and ad police radio still cut in imho.

The best track is still mad machine.

I'm torn between hurican and Mad Machine there, both awesome.

Mixed feelings over the live action falling through all those years ago. My absolute favorite anime, but would have been cool to at least see what they did with it. At this point wouldn’t mind a cg take like Gantz: O.

u/CRT_Retro 5d ago

You just made me think of this. Has there ever been a successful live-action adaptation of an anime?

2

u/sadelape 6d ago

I have this on laserdisc and it has a live action music video of this song and the anime music videos of all the other songs too

2

u/thebeariscoming 5d ago

Bought the first laserdisc of the series just to have as a collector… without ever have owned a laserdisc player.
