Some (new) old canons
The original Trigun series was a formative show for me. It's the only Anime for which I owned the whole series on VHS so I only had access to the dub back then. I've been avoiding the new Trigun because I didn't really feel the need for the revisit, but there were so few palatable options on a recent flight I gave in and ended up enjoying it a lot. It gets much more serious much more quickly than the first series iirc and stays there. It felt like this younger Vash had a harder time finding peace in the pain than the OG did, which I guess makes sense?
I don't know what the original Wolfwood's voice sounded like in JP but I enjoyed his Osaka ben in this series a lot. Though I guess I find accents interesting in general. And I'm always a fan of stories in which characters are constantly in some sort of philosophical debate. I was however miffed that the plane only provides the first 5 eps and then you have to sit there waiting to get home to pirate the rest. If Crunchyroll thinks they are getting my sub this way they are idiots. I did end up watching the full first season, but don't know if I'm going to bother with the second. As much as I enjoyed Trigun Maximum, it's not really my Trigun, I guess.
I also watched Inception again but dubbed in Japanese. At one point I had the script of that show memorized line by line, which is not something I often do. My memory has faded a bit, but it was a fun exercise in hearing the localization and doing a little canon review for what used to be my main fandom and is still the canon where I've posted the most fic.
On the way back I watched F1 the Movie. It was mid. Very formulaic and depended on weird gimmicks on the track. Rush is much better imo. But there was a little bit of chemistry between the two leads in the beginning. If it had been a little better I could have seen a decent enemies to lovers ship coming out of it.
Read a handful of books on the trip too. Reread The Last Sun. I don't know how confident I am about enjoying the entire series, mostly because of how many children are now involved, but I still like the first book a whole lot and it made for nice canon review. When I first read the books I wasn't particularly fond of Addam, mostly because I very clearly preferred Rune/Brand, but on reread I like him much better, and they make for a good ot3 anyway considering the nature of Atlantean society. I still read a lot of fic for this series, and on a whole the fandom puts out pretty high quality work, but I would say the peeve that seems to show itself most often is Rune thinking that polyamory is going to be a problem, actually, even though in canon he makes clear that is the default in Atlantean society and that Addam is explicitly within that default.
The next book in the Tarot Sequence I think was supposed to come out by now but hasn't quite yet. I'm going to gobble it up the second I get the opportunity.
