Happy Day before June everyone. With things getting hotter and hotter out
there, the Gundam Anime Corner is about to get revving on it’s own Summer
Season (which I guess already began with Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu in May but that
sucked so lets do a soft second start).
However, some early announcements of what I had planned for Summer 2024,
especially in June, have changed. So
today I’m here to give a bit of a primer on what’s on the docket for the next
few weeks before getting into our Annual Extended Summer Series Review Event.
Back when I was mapping out titles for 2024, I saw that
the Psycho Pass: Sinners of the System Trilogy had been added to
Crunchyrolls catalogue. While I do still
wanna cover these three flicks, work schedules are taking a toll and I haven’t
found time to watch them, yet. Long story
short, Sinners of the System is getting pushed to September 2024 for the time
being. However, I have stuff ready to
look at in the meantime and it’s all (mostly) pretty recent stuff. A lot of big Anime and Video Game adaptation
titles have finally made their way stateside and I’ve been able to catch them
either in theaters or on streaming. So,
for the month of June, it’s a month of movies and one streaming season with Mobile
Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, Spy X Family: Code White and Knuckles. And, just to show I haven’t fully abandoned
my Psycho Pass movie coverage plan, we’ll close out the month with Psycho
Pass: Providence (which I actually saw and wrote a review for last year but
kept it on hold til I found a good spot for it).
I’ve been hyping this up since last year and I’m sticking
to it. After spending the whole of 2023
covering her big Anime debut from the 90s, our chosen Extended Summer Series
Review for 2024 is the epic Reboot of the Sailor Moon franchise with Sailor
Moon Crystal. One minor hiccup
though. Originally when I planned out
Crystal’s coverage, I was going to include the two double feature film
followups, Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos, which
cover the events of Sailor Moon SuperS and Sailor Moon Sailor Stars. However, this was all depending on whether or
not Cosmos would get a release sometime before July 2024. Granted this could still happen but Netflix
(which is streaming both Crystal and Eternal) has yet to announce
anything. If this should change, hey
that’d be awesome. For the time being
though, I’ll only be looking at Sailor Moon Crystal and saving Eternal and
Cosmos for a later time (maybe even for an Anniversary review?). Still, I’m excited to see how Crystal handles
the original Manga source material as it also dumps the many episodes of filler
from the original TV Series. Could it
improve on what came before and even rectify the problems of the past? (Much of that is geared towards Eternal doing
a much better job with SuperS infuriating storyline). Guess we’ll find out when Sailor Moon Crystal
kicks off on July 1, 2024
