I like that Tomino apologized that the full scale Gundam animatronic in Yokohama wasn’t an actual functioning Gundam.

If he turns out to just be some 764 style loser this is going to be a boring story.

It starts slow but they get more interesting as the show goes on. Harry especially gets a lot more chaotic.

Running his agility course like a good little doggy.

Those people kind of scare me ngl

That feeling of freedom turning into being empty, and how that was what resonated between him and Char when they met, and also Machu intuiting that is very interesting too. Not totally sure how to put all those pieces together yet. Waiting a week between episodes is brutal lol

The Challia backstory was so cool, I loved the visuals.

They’re also considering the equally hard-hitting option of “taking the night off,” don’t sell them short!

Interesting that there was a rivalry between them given how different their tone and visual styles are from one another.

You definitely don’t. There’s some twists it does on some common Gundam themes that are interesting to consider if you’ve seen older shows, but it’s a completely stand alone story. And it’s great!

I tried to listen to the soundtrack in the background while I worked once about 5 years ago and got so emotional I had to turn it off lol

Good shit.

Okay, I wasn’t sure given how academic a lot of the historical sections are, but that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Did Mizuki put multiple true crime stories into Showa because true crime was a specific interest of his, or were those stories just really huge when they happened in Japan?

Bro none of us asked to be included in your humiliation kink, knock it off.
