Amuro spending his last moments as a living human being in utter bewilderment at his arch-rival randomly bringing mommy issues into their philosophical debate has got to be one of the best things I have ever seen in any medium.

Occasionally people who have only heard that line through jokes and memery watch CCA and realize those were LITERALLY Char's last words and lose even more respect for him.

Yeah I couldn't stop laughing when I got to that part. Poor Amuro.

It's a place I have to give more credit to the dub because Brad Swaile takes Amuro from "slightly confused" to "completely taken aback by the batshit insanity he's just heard" with a single "what?!" before they go beyond the time.

So its nice that G Witch ends most episodes with Suletta going "wat" to baffling announcements.

haven't found miomio anywhere yet though :(

Have you tried Bic Camera?

I found Suletta, Guel and Shaddiq's by walking into random Yamazaki Daily when I was there in November. After I got home, someone told me they found Elan at Bic Camera in Shinjuku. Maybe Bic has Miorine too?

The bigger treasure hunt was the drat 7-11 Ichiban Kuji. Only found it at two 7-11s in Hiroshima.

Some idle thoughts:

- Man, I've always disliked Uso's design and I can never place my finger on why exactly.
- Man, Setsuna's design is CRISP.
- Never noticed Amuro's inverted legs before lol
- IBO character designs have this thing where a lot of them look sorta bad in their character art but great in the show itself, Mikazuki in particular suffers from this to a very noticeable degree.

I like how you can look at that chart from left to right and trace the course of popular design trends and drawing styles over like a half-century of anime.

Azran posted:

I think its supposed to be him standing at attention because he's in the military, but yeah something about that pose always weirded me out. I think there's concept art for each of the White Base crew all done in the same pose.

Zanscare's such an interesting villain group because they're like Tomino asked himself "So what would happen if my ideal ideology came into power? Ah yeah, it'd be ruined by loving assholes corrupting and co-opting it to their own means and desires."

This is funny to me because it matches almost word-for-word the admonishment Amuro gives Char, regarding intellectuals putting the seeds of revolution out there but then getting disenchanted as reactionary forces coopt the message and withdraw.

Amuro: "Revolutions are dreamt up by intellectuals, but their aims are so unrealistic, they'll stoop to drastic measures. Following the revolution, the worthy passions for rebirth are swallowed up by bureaucracy and mediocrity. Intellectuals dislike this so they disassociate themselves from society and politics to become recluses."

Sure, it's pretty much hand-crafted to needle Char and is some end-of-history cynicism, but assuming Tomino had a hand in writing it that tracks with your intuition.

It's also funny because Amuro is saying all that and Char is probably thinking "what the gently caress is this rear end in a top hat on about, I don't care about any of that?"

a thought occurred to me. what if Prospera hasn't used the phrase "happy birthday" since that event. then at Mio's birthday they sing the song and she gets triggered hard

If that was gonna be an angle, I don't think Suletta would've sung it herself already.

Why it's NOT a PTSD trigger might be a more pertinent question.

Because she was like 4 and has no recollection of what happened, most likely.

You generally don't have actual memories before you are about 6 or 7, and most people who do have memories from before that (often starting as early as 2/3) have implicit memories i.e. they've been told about events so often that they have internalized them, rather than having an actual recollection of their own of that event.
