Hey, I remember you from the other site, years before I actually got around to Turn A. I'm practically vibrating with excitement here over G-Quacks, it's good to see you here.

AH HELLO! Yesssss god I am so excited. it feels like someone is actually making something from one of those troll anime season charts (positive)

Yeah I saw the Italian spoilers before I saw the creative staff so the bong-hits-in-the-dorm-room plot makes a little more sense if Anno & Enokido are writing

I want to go in as blind as possible because after 3.0+1.0 and the Shin movies he's clearly just living his best life and I'm here for it.

big shoutouts to the Four cosplay pfp, extremely classy, Zeta rules

And the Turn A username. I'm about halfway through, but I have been very slow getting through the series despite it being absurdly good

And I'm still waiting on the next Hathaway installment after the last was so goddamned good

Longevity and loyalty are old school it seems.

Thats the lasting power of a fujoshi led fandom.

somehow this post seems to have summoned the AI generated argument bots so if you’re wondering where all the replies went….. blockity block block

And like, it’s still so good.

I know the ending of Mobile Suit Gundam by heart.
I still cry every time I watch it.

I always love when a new generation discovers him. I once explained that he was my favorite slow burn villain story and someone tried to correct me with information from gundam the origin and I had to explain that I got into the series before that was ever written.
