Anime series from the late 2000s set in South America about a baddie who escapes prison and rescues her former lover's child from an abusive foster care home, embarking on a quest to find him together. Come for the y2k fashion, stay for the Bossa Nova.
such a great soundtrack and vibrant cast of characters. i love that it takes place in a brazil-adjacent setting, which makes it super unique. its action packed and tugged at my heartstrings a bit too. a quick but impactful watch imo
Certainly shows its age but it's pretty enjoyable. Love a genre exploration/dark twist. Madoka's older sister who smokes American Spirits and pounds Soju on a Tuesday.
Sci-fi war between mechas and monsters (AKA the two things that look good in Netflix's 3D animation) with time travel, which is quite unique and deep, but still makes perfect sense.
The main cast is great, everyone has a unique personality and reactions to events and revelations.
Apparently a lot of people find the protagonist annoying (he is proven right after people hated him for a decade and has a big superiority complex for most of the series) but his character arc of getting humbled is done very well.

My grandma’s word for word response when I asked her if she had any advice for living a long life. She lived to be 99 years old. Rest in Paradise Donna.
I am obsessed with this Art Deco Extraordinaire, a Polish-born painter whose glamorous figurative compositions came to life in 1920s-30s Paris. Influenced by Cubism and Neoclassicism, her works—especially her portraits of women—blend beauty, strength, modernity, and a timeless cosmopolitan flair. After leaving Paris, she continued her career in New York, Hollywood, and Mexico, marking her as a truly international woman of her time. Stunning, just stunning!
Because preservation, not modification, is the stronger stance in a society where homogeneity is the default. If you happen to have little hairs connecting the two arches above your eyes, consider them a bridge to one of the greatest to ever do it.
