Knocking out an episode of this a night, just got to episode five with the fallen wolves in the city. I am really enjoying this as a mood piece, particularly the very 80s dystopian future aesthetic, but some of the character writing/motivation feels like it can be a little vague and one-note at times, particularly with the wolf pack. Some of this is probably due to vibe and pacing and seems like an intentional artistic choice.

Which episodes are the recap episodes?

Up to episode 11 now. Not finding terribly much to say other than it’s enjoyable but not amazing and as I remembered the ost is great. I appreciate how hard the show sells the fact that the main crew are not human beings: their names, movements, how they fight, interaction with Cheza, etc. same for her, her fall in the episode where they meet goes hard for the comparison to a twirling flower. I also enjoy the lovely airship cgi.

wolf's rain is cool. its a bit sleepy in spots and the show isnt quite as smart as it thinks it is but it still establishes a neat and memorable mood.

irresponsible captain tylor (1993) would be my pick

theres a lot of sick movies on the list too. maybe december can be movie month with 1993 broly, interstella 5555, little witch academia and tokyo godfathers for christmas

as for next month there are many good options. and if anyone tries to be a stinker and suggest narutaru, they should be flayed. kinos journey and cromartie are big options for sure though.

Kino's Journey seems like it'd be exactly my type of thing based on plot summaries so I voted for that.

Looks like the winner is Captain Tylor! It is on Crunchy Roll in the US:

From Crunchyroll's description:

Justy Ueki Tylor had his life all planned out: join the military, get a cushy desk job, and then retire with a big fat pension check. The perfect plan…until he wandered into a hostage situation and somehow managed to save an Admiral!

Now Tylor, a man who wouldn’t know what discipline was if it bit him in the backside, has been made Captain of the space cruiser Soyokaze! The crew of this run–down ship is the craziest, rag–tag team of misfits you’re ever likely to see, and they’re not too fond of their complacent new leader. But they had better learn to work together, because they’re about to go head to head with the mighty Raalgon Empire! For better or for worse, the Earth’s fate has been placed in the hands of a man who’s either a total idiot, or an absolute genius...

hell yes this show rules and everyone should watch it. one of the most underappreciated classics of its era.

the op is such a bop, and does a cute job of breaking the "4th wall" of animation

The sequence of oppressive surveillance cameras in the penultimate episode was great. Jaguara is kind of a flop of a character. Everything else I said about the show earlier in the thread still applies. one song, the one for the fake paradise, is super cheesy lol. Not much else to say, it’s good and establishes its mood well.

You didn't stop at 26 right? There's four more OVA eps after that.

EDIT: awww I love run, wolf warrior, cheesy it may be

the crew owns even though i've only seen them for 2 episodes. i think the twins are my favorites so far; they're the only ones 100% down with tylor's stupid poo poo + they wear goofy space suits. although the fist of the north star guys and pretty boy rookie pilot beating the poo poo out of each other 5 minutes after their introduction is also pretty cool. and the communications officer appears to be voiced by misato. maybe this is tougher than i thought.
