Hey now, Suletta is extremely loyal to her wife.

But Miorine is a forgiving bride, she can overlook some minor two-timing.

The only things I remember about Narrative are 1) that guy changed a lot from Unicorn 2) I felt really stupid how long it took for me to catch Phenex = Phoenix and 3) we just had to get one more drat Even so! in there.

I don't think there was any real belief in life on Mars until the mid 1800s.

It's more like, if the US Constitution had a secret article that was like, "If it is ever proven that the American Indian has the same capacity for thought and reason as the white man, the Federal Government shall give priority to involving them in the administration of the government"

Except those indigenous tribes were around when the Constitution was written up, whereas in Unicorn, the super top double secret REAL founding document of the UC mentions something that didn’t exist yet and was a fuckin moonshot “just in case.” The Martian comparison is way more accurate.

Having drone shows of Sulemio and Charmuro is good and cool, but we need to talk about Tomino’s fit from the closing ceremony.

I've been building gunpla for a bit and have watched WfM but otherwise haven't watched Gundam at all. Decided to start watching the original series last night, made it thru 5 episodes. The music is so 70s and also rules, and I'm enjoying the characters and plot so far. I think I'm hooked on the series already so I'll probably end up watching at least all the series at this point if not the movies/manga at some point too.

I just finished episode 9 of 00 this morning, and it’s pretty good so far! I like the pilots and the Gundam designs are top-tier (in all honestly I started it so I could see the Virtue in action), and it’s giving some interesting push and pull to the core concept of Celestial Being (at least with how it’s presented so far, it seems like there’s possibly an ulterior motive.)

00 is maybe pound-for-pound the show with the dumbest Gundam names. There’s always a new one to surprise me!

One of my favorite parts of 00 so far is Saji Crossroad saying Setsuna F. Seiei is an unusual name.

That said the ultimate Gundam name is and will remain Klimton Nicchini's father Zuchini Nicchini.

Jizil Jizin from an IBO manga is a very strong contender.

I love that G Gundam fights are largely decided by Some Bullshit, it fits with how silly the show is.

The 00 colony laser was actually one of the best parts of season 2. But that's the only time I can think of past 0079 I've really been excited to see one, unless you count the Statue of Liberty in G Gundam

It’s so cool that General Douglas MacArthur is the guy who controls the Statue of Liberty Cannon.

Hey, I was just bringing up him telling Setsuna that his name sounds unusual. Saji Crossroad said someone else’s name was weird. Saji Crossroad.

Most of what I've heard about Freedom sounds really funny outside of the rape stuff which is just edgy garbage.

Can someone who’s seen/read about this speak more about this?

As a birthday treat, I saw Seed Freedom last night, without having seen Seed or Destiny, and knowing almost nothing about the Cosmic Era (seriously, whenever people have talked about it in here my eyes glazed over). You know what? I kinda liked it. It wasn’t nearly the trainwreck people were anticipating/hyping up, and I had a good time watching it. I was worried about understanding the basic narrative when the first 10-15 minutes was nonstop jargon and catch-up from Destiny, but it settled into a pretty simple story after that. The character writing ain’t the greatest, no one sticks out as a particularly interesting character, but it was serviceable. The final battle was way too goddamn long, and maybe it’s because I haven’t seen any CE stuff before, but it was difficult to tell who was shooting who, what with how fast the camera/editing were and the amount of poo poo happening.

I’m a big fan of the Black Knights doing the Limiter Override from my beloved F91 Gundam F91, and Shura Serpentine is just a great Gundam name.
