People always say this, and I don’t get it. The Berber prince and the ninja clown, sure, they were gay as hell, but Heero and Duo barely interacted.

I know it's not what you meant, but I can't help imaginging Quatre as haircutting royalty now. Incidentally, ninja clown is perhaps the simplest but best description of Trowa I've ever read and I never really considered him a ninja bebore but it does actually fit.

Wait, wasn't there an Isekai with Mechas last year? Also, y'know, FranXX this season, even if that's mostly about teenage sex.

WRT Gundam Wing, Treize Kushrenada, Relena and Noin ruled. The Gundam pilots were garbo for the most part.

I'll never get the love for Lucrezia "let me count the days since we were last together while you walk all over me" Noin. Also, unless I'm mistaking your intention FrankXX isn't an isekai given it's not about a person from our world waking up in another more world. It's just a fantasy show.

StrixNebulosa mentioned "less isekai, more mechas please" on the post I quoted. The show (which I've now learned is called Knight's and Magic) is a happy medium between both. FranXX is pure mecha, though. Sorry for the confusion.

Noin is cute as hell. :blush:

He's almost certainly the nicest Gundam protagonist full stop, but in the first 5 or so episode he goes through agent, miner, engineer, driver, pilot and double agent as professions while taking several hits to the balls as well as jumping out of a blimp to land on a bi-plane mid flight and all anyone remembers or talks about the vast majority of the time is that he put on a dress a couple of times.

frontal is the main villain, angelo is his sidekick. they both get decent arcs and a decent amount of screentime. unicorn has a bad habit of ignoring its best characters and resolving plot threads in dumb ways but it's beautifully animated and as a series of movies isnt quite as ponderous as some of the tv series.

Excuse you, Graham wants to gently caress robots. It’s not gay if they’re metal and eighteen metres tall.

The two girls getting married in IBO was already mentioned, but it’s also implied that a couple of the Tekkadan boys have started dating after one of them got over his long-term crush getting killed. Which is a nice way of softening the blow of what would otherwise be a fairly standard gay tragedy subplot.

graham wanted to gently caress giant robots, billy wanted to gently caress the big titty captain. graham's goal was much more realistic and achievable.

The fansubbers were just having fun, but not in the way you seem to think. The Gundams and eventually other units, including the one in question there all have an ability to triple their output for a short period called "Trans-Am", but the name of the character piloting that unit is Graham; so the sub group doing the show subbed his use of it it as "Trans-GrahAm" for funsies. Trans-Am itself is a reference to Char, since Char was famous for having custom red (well, salmon pink initially) suits that moved at three times the speed of standard units. Don't know if the writers were aware of the pre-existence of the word trans-am, but that could be a reference too.

the mechs in gundam 00 go red and faster. this mode is known as trans-am. when graham's mech attained that mode, every fansub group made a joke about 'trans-graham.'

There was a thread on /m/ about it recently, as in the last day or so, and it's probably still in the archive if not live, so you definitely didn't imagine it. Tieria wore one once too if I recall. It's just rarely brought up about either of them, especially Judau, who I'm pretty sure didn't do it under orders, and yet it seems to be all most people associate Loran with for some reason.
