As the title indicates, this is an addendum of sorts to my last post, which you can find over here: ["A Terrible Darkness"]. At Ghostlightning‘s (sort-of) request, I’m revisiting Shin Mazinger and the Gothic in light of the thirteenth episode, “First Love? The Beautiful Lorelei!”

…and that’s SF?
I’ve recently been badgering nearly everyone I know with this quandary I’ve landed myself in: how does science fiction work, and what does that mean for my study of anime? (go all the way to the end, it has a happy conclusion)
