I don’t know if it’s just the times we’re in or what, but I’m kind of drained on politics. So, for the time being, I’m going to post links here on things that interest me. Intellectually or feeds into one of my interests.

First, one of my favorite animes “Gate” is getting a second season 10 years after the first debuted.

The long-awaited second season, which is officially titled Gate 2: Tides of Conflict, will adapt the first two volumes of the Gate Season 2 sequel series, focusing on the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

So, it feels less like a direct sequel and more of a “setting sequel.” Which I thinks sets up my expectations well.

Second, the new Transformers / Macross 7 collab toy was set up for pre-order.

Okay, I don’t hate it. I like how they merged Optimus and the Firebomber mecha. However, the more I watch of Macross 7, the more I really dislike the Basra character.
