Things Gundam Wing accurately predicted: The rise of drone warfare and how initially it would be used by the imperial core to oppress the third world “without political consequence”, only later for said third world to use the technology to mass produce cheap expendable swarms to humiliate the imperial powers militaries.

Things Gundam Wing did not accurately predict: The revival of mid nineteenth century fashion.

Gundam Wing’s biggest problem is that its boy band leading cast are one dimensional archetypes who barely go through any character development, and if you hate any one of those guys then it’s aggravating because you’re gonna keep seeing them all the time.

I remember thinking Chang Wufei sucks but he was also the least featured pilot so it didn’t weigh down the show too much for me.

There's your problem. You think the pilots are the lead. The real lead has the best character development in the franchise.

yeah, but remember that she drops out of the series around the midpoint and then all of her interesting characteristics are given to Dorothy when she actually returns ten episodes later.

she drops out of the series after trying to assassinate someone. then when she returns she's suddenly all in on pacifism to the extent that she opens a school to teach people about this thing she picked up the month before. dorothy's pretty great, though.

edit: I totally called Hayashi being an accomplice. Though it wasn't exactly hard to predict, since I think she's the only obvious "character who keeps surviving" who never has any sort of PoV.

Off the top of my head, there are a bunch related to characters being "traps" that are completely incomprehensible to me (like it's obvious they're referencing something, but I have no idea what)

Well good news! Marriage Toxin is about a poison using assassin who is going to protect his lesbian sister from an arranged marriage by hiring a golddigger to show him how to date.
Also the golddigger is trans or trans-adjacent

It’s not a single character it’s literally the third world. The whole premise of the setting (really 90% of Gundam settings) is the Colonies and little countries are exploited by international capital (The Alliance and the Romefeller Foundation). Then the exploited colonies form the White Fang and manufacture huge swarms of cheaper shittier Virgos that overwhelm the first worlds militaries. Then things get wacky.

I've decided that the monkey mountain manga is good, because (as far as I can tell from the latest chapter that is obviously very close to the end) it basically portrays the characters murdering pharma employees as being generally justified/sympathetic. To the extent that the manga may not approve of their actions, it obviously considers the pharma decision-makers the greater villains.

Also it's very funny to me that one of the monkeys is a genuine monkey monster man and they're just like "yeah that one's real, no one knows what his deal is."

despite the kinda silly premise monkey peak is probably the most grim one I've read so far. there's a lot I've skipped because they're dull/cliche or pointlessly disgusting. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the results for "horror" on mangadex. honestly the most anime I've consumed in decades
