Personally I think the characters in the new remake look like dolls. They look pretty and fragile and vaguely creepy.

The 2020 Cloud looks like a girl's head on a guy's body.

The crossdressing scene is still in there.
(seriously though props to SE not giving two fricks).

Xeogred I guess they tried to compensate for having Cloud look like a doll by making Barrett looks like a complete psychopath.

Need to step up your Japanese studying, that's a common character trope in anime since the 90's. Over the quarantine I've reviewed about 1700 vocab words from my notes, 美少年 just wasn't one of them. I guessed what it meant just from how Rhomaios pronounced it though. I think I was vaguely aware of this from the anime Escraflowne. I began watching it and surmised the main heroine was a teenage girl accompanying a tall, long haired guy who would look down at her with a tender gaze while explaining expository lore. I concluded I didn't belong the target age or gender for that show and watched something else.

I didn't learn that word from Japanese, but from English. It's even on Wikipedia.

I watched that anime series in its entirety once, I think that was in 2007. I guess it's telling that I can't remember anything about it now. At the time I watched it because Escaflowne came recommended from a few anime watching friends I had at the time. I don't think you're missing anything considering I'm struggling to recall what it was even about.

It's amusing to me how much Ex likes mecha games but not mecha anime much at all from what I've gathered. To be fair Escaflowne and its movie are both solid but nothing amazing. I remember the music (Yoko Kano I think) and production values all around being damn good, but yeah nothing comes to mind story/character wise for me either. Other than it being that story type with a modern teen(s) being teleported into some crazy medieval time with giant robots.
I guess my big controversial bombshell against HRG for 2020 is that...
I still love FF7.

Honestly, I think for me, it comes down to two different visions of mecha. The Japanese, Gundam-style stuff, and then the big, walking death tanks of the BattleTech universe. I'm more a fan of the latter, myself.
