    There’s not much to it really. Mecha anime is usually not just about awesome robot fights, but is also usually a metaphor for something (Gundam=the horrors of war, Evangelion=the horrors of parent/child relationships, Macross=the horrors of Protoculture, etc).

    So in the comic cuts right to the chase and asks each respective pilot what their mech represents. It turns out the answers are anti-climactic.

    Weird to see the proliferation over the years of think-pieces on the lack of libido in mainstream film. They act like it’s evidence that America is dead from the waist down – as if people can’t just go watch sex whenever they want, without having to share the experience with an auditorium full of people. Depictions of sexuality have just become more private, that’s all.

    Extreme mouth noises bother some people. Not that I’d ever call anyone out on a train over it, but the sound of loud wet kissing gives me the creepy-crawlies in the same way that hearing someone sloppily eating a particularly juicy apple does.

    Thank Bose for noise-cancelling earbuds.
