Perhaps darker than the show intended, but I did wonder if by taking Char's role Chalia has inherited Char's role in future events including his rage against earth. Hopefully not, and he'll be a more responsible Shepard of messy children instead of *gestures at Zeta and CCA*.

I'm probably not as high on the episode as you, but I will always sing "if you are going to world dump info--do it after sufficient emotional buy in and work it into the story" aka after hitting the basics for 4 or 5 episodes what if we had an education themed episode.

Alas you realize, "there is no ironically getting into media".

What if you get into it ironically.

I think you generally have a lot to say, and is usually worthwhile.
Also assuming the later is gquuuuuux I'd file it as mixed for gundam.

Overall some of the push back feels like "being a hater for something popular is cool, until you hate something popular I like. Stawp it".

Overall 40 years on I feel like the question I have for most new UC gundam works is "why?"
"Why in UC?"
"Why this story?"
"Why do stick so close to the sun if you still deviate from it?"
"And why aren't you bolder in your deviations?"

It's also a gorgeous show, and takes a lot of visually bold swings that other gundams do not. Episodes 3, 4, and 8 are killers if I ever saw them.
But the story is lost in the idea of Gundam--consumed by it rather than decapitating it. Doubling the episode count wouldn't fix it.

The show garnered itself a lot of flack the show has garnered is pretty Much of the women heavily revolve around men or are excused from the plot, the show has a messy emotional through line that doesn't work imo, the metafiction over takes other aspects, and imo politically conservative.

If you are going to use a well loved anisong like that without its og context, then yeah don't be surprised when people emotionally respond in a very negative manner.

I finished Awakening and my pitch I always try to sell people on is that the 0079 novel's first volume of the three ends with the death of Lalah and the calendar year turning over to UC 0080 with no end to the war in sight. There were two entire book's worth more of Alt Gundam to treat yourself to.

There was also a few gestures in terms of naming and visuals (the side 6 protests namely) to American occupation of japan. The cold war was also explicitly on the creators mind in interviews.
Like it has political references but it just very *pbbttth* with them.

Probably the next one if reports are true. Unless you count seed freedom (hasn't seen) or Requiem Vengeance.

Fair enough, I give it a 5/10 which is kind of like a seven for other people (fun mid time).

I think gquuuuuux is like firmly above the worst but also made me reevaluate the better stuff. Was fun but kind of empty at the end of the day.

I'm building a very specific and specialized team. Looking for volunteers--especially anyone blue or green.

New side story, Handler is transferred to a base where keeping a fuck dog on the side isn't just allowed but encouraged.

Playing Rugby Atra was banned within the hour after some strong words from Mikazuki.

Would you find it reassuring if I said "the last arc is arguably the strongest a non tomino gundam has ever been".

Shocking to see the drop of support from Afghanistan till now. Now the question is can this be turned into effective action/power.

No one is allowed more than 2 cool scenes per episode. Everyone is constantly wearing clown shoes every other scene. Incredible stuff.

I cannot emphasize this enough that for YEARS:
-trans women played various women’s sports.
-trans kids got medical assistance as they and their parents needed.
-trans folk could get accurate documents.
-trans folk used the bathrooms that felt appropriate.
AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.
