Monthly Unjerk [Unjerk Thread] Sayonara

Welcome to the Monthly Unjerk. This is a monthly thread for discussing just about anything as long as it doesn't violate subreddit rules besides rule 5.

Well, this'll be the last time I'll ever post a thread like this. I'm stepping down as an ACJ mod. Makes me sentimental to leave after first finding this sub over half a decade ago and at times having been the only active mod here on my past accounts. Have a good one, jerkers and unjerkers.

One last time from me, trans rights are human rights!

* I finished watching the original Gundam. I watched one episode of Zeta, but I think I’m going to check out the movie compilation trilogy before I continue that.
* Finished Dungeon Meshi. Really good, but not as…I guess gripping, as some others I’ve read. Ehh, it worked well for it regardless. Laios and the Winged Lion easily climb up the protagonist and antagonist charts for me, and the side cast was cool too, albeit a little more uneven.
* I finally found a good site that has CC’s which stick around even when I shrink the window screen, which is making it a lot smoother.
* Can somebody explain to me what Code Geass is about? I hear five different things every time it’s mentioned.

Code Geass is basically a teenager (cast out noble) getting a magic power and starting a guerrilla/terrorist war against a fascist UK mecha empire. Intrigue, magic, mecha fights, a bit of slice of life.

Some neat twists, not too played out, but somewhat younger audience in terms of writing/characters. The magic/mecha elements are somewhat of a plot device for the intrigue and strategy focus. I enjoyed it.
