It's because we've been going down the timeline from the start

It makes sense the next thing would be CCA

>>23326352
Except that it is most definitely NOT is theme. It's the Nu's.
They could've used Meguirai, Beginning, Ai Senshi... even Eien ni Amuro if you're feeling daring.

I know /m/ isn't a particularly smart board but if you pay attention the show is pretty fucking simple.

>>23326434
Getting the nostalgia WRONG isn't what "simple" means.

>>23326436
Imagine being such a retard that you don't even understand the nostalgia you're being baited with.

>>23326436
You misunderstanding what's going on in the screen because you refuse to read the subtitles doesn't make things wrong.

>>23326442
>>23326441
Stop making excuses for dumb creative decisions, you moron chimpanzees.

...theyre gunna have him get fucking bodied soley for a plot stepping stool for the Gquuuuux, arent they..

>>23326436
>>23326446
You're autistic, which isn't inherently bad, but to be this upset about them using the CCA theme instead of anything else is just doubling down on being a jackass over something incredibly arbitrary.

Get a load of this fuckin guy, probably listens to gundam music while driving
Dont worry i do too

Is Shuji Amuro?

>>23326508
You mean the most based way

>>23326389
The Zekanova was CCA from the start and the Alpha Killer is pretty much Unicorn's destroy mode. Though those do not change that Beyond the Time is appropriate because Qyuuux UC is the UC distorted by stuff from beyond time.

>>23326344 (OP)
the absolute most boring and expected thing that could have come over

>>23326538
>most boring and expected thing
Why didn't you predict it then huh?

Ah you see they made the Gquuuuuux Rx78 to look ugly on purpose so you would be more edited for the actually pleasant Okawara design returning. True genius.

>>23326508
You're just now finding out that Tsurumaki and Anno are massive hacks?

>>23326434
I do not associate fucking Beyond the Time with goddamn grandpa.

No, you associate grandpa with Lalah drama.
You associate Beyond the Time with newtype bullshit.

Memberberries.

What happens when you let otaku write anime

>>23326344 (OP)
>>23326352
His point is the spotless RX-78 was never anywhere near a Zeknova-like event. If it was transported from right when Lalah's Elmeth was destroyed that kind of works, but his beam saber isn't drawn. Shuji's Gundam is identical to when it disappeared with one beam saber missing.

>>23326808
No, no that's not the point being made. Fuck off.

>>23326808
imagine being this miserable you have to nitpick like that

>>23326823
It just feels like shameless nostalgia baiting. I guess that's how Lalah remembers Amuro? That works.

>>23326831
I don't think you know what baiting means.

>>23326808
will there also be complaints about how lalah's elmeth doesn't have a great big hole in the front and that the insides of the cockpit aren't plastered with blood, feces, urine, and hamburger?

>>23326344 (OP)
Wouldn't Meguriai make more sense than Ai Senshi?

>>23326835
You know you can enjoy a show without lashing out at every little criticism like it's your child.

The fact I'm going to remember this shit show every time I hear Beyond the Time from now on is the most unforgiveable thing they could have possibly done

>>23326389
a checklist of UC properties they need to reference is boring and gay and probably what they did

he's gundam.

>>23327144
No, that's Banana.

>>23327144
YouTube comments haven't improved a bit since the last time I checked on them.

>>23326808
Shuji went beyond the time, got the OG gundam and brought it back with him
how this is supposed to help him though is beyond me, even with the minor upgrade from the end of 0079, it would still be a piece of shit compared to the cracked out psycommu gundams and the red gundam

>>23327171
the pilot makes all the difference.

It is Nu-Gundam

>>23327168
Ever since Unicorn there's been an effort to meme Beyond the Time into being literal stuff.

just do a sincere remake of the original series at this point.

>>23327176
>RX-78 starts shapeshifting into the Alex or Nu etc mid-fight
would you clap?

>>23327176
The proportions remind me of something...

>>23327188
If they were actually brave they would use the original gunboy design for the white gundam

THE ORIGINAL GUNDAM IS STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT

IT'S BEYOND THE TIME

GET IT GUISE

>>23327168
>More than peace, more than freedom, more than justice

>You can change your destiny
>Beyond the time
Can't wait for Amuro to retcon Seed Destiny.

which Char is this Char? The Gqux timeline Char? 0079 Char? Another never before seen Char?

>>23327210
it is the gqux char, it's obvious because he's saying lalah does not belong in this time.

I can't wait for them to revisit the legendary line

>Char! Lalah Sune was a woman who could have become a mother to you! I TOOK HER LIFE, SO I HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE YOU!

>Who? Mother? What the fuck!? AAAAAARGH!!!

hmmm

>>23327237
Char is energetically linked to young boys with medium length blue hair

>>23327237
Kamille would never want to destroy a universe just because it's somehow wrong, that's exactly the sort of thing he'd wipe out a whole squadron of pilots to stop.

I can't wait for all the epic build-up to end with the RX-78 getting bodied halfway through the episode.

>>23327210
GQuuuuuuX original Char. If he was the Rose's/0079 Char he wouldn't be trying to kill her, and if he was CCA Char he would have the facial scar

>>23327249
it looks to be Amuro in his psycho berserker newtype fugue state from near the end of 0079, so there's a 50/50 chance he kills everybody without asking questions or talks literally everybody down from the cliff and we all go home happy

>>23327184
Sincerity isn't in the cards as everyone is deathly afraid of being sincere these days.

>>23326394
Beyond the time isn't Nu Gundam's theme lmao.
Read the lyrics ffs.

>>23327210
dunno we're in uncharted territory and I don't want to put my hand in fire and come out charred

tfw the gundam got bloodied until somehow it turn into Hi Nu with CCA Amuro as the pilot

>>23328095
It'll evolve into the Mk-II, Zeta, ZZ and then finally the Nu as the fight progresses.

>>23328101
Kinda Based, if they manage to do it.

>>23328106
>Nanobot Gundam with no identity of its own
Weird flex but okay, Anno

>>23326630
Nobody does, they associate it with the film its a theme of, why are you trying to revise history?

>>23328599
The film that culminates in the defining newtype bullshit moment of the Universal Century, if not the totality of Gundam itself, not to mention being the culmination of Char and Amuro's character arcs.
So it makes sense to call back to it at a time of peak newtype bullshit surrounding one of the most foundational moments in the Char-Amuro mythology. It can easily be understood as leitmotif for this circumstance.

>>23328621
People don't associate it with Newtype bullshit, they only associate it with Charmuro. Or just Char given The Origin's TV cut's third OP and the SRW games that played it as a theme for the Sazabi.

>>23328692
Nobody cares what secondaries think.

>>23328701
Go fuck yourself, hypocrite.

>>23327171
It does have the magnetic coating though.

>>23328701
Gquuuuuux itself already has a motif for newtype events anyway, Lalah's song

>>23327176
>>23327187
If a psycommu is the requirement for stuff to travel between realities safely that would make more sense at least.

>>23327237
But Shuji is a guy's name.

>>23326344 (OP)
but what if it isnt amuro, what if its Ribbons?

>>23326344 (OP)
Amuro appears in the RX-78 in gcucks because that's how Lalah remembers him
This is actually Amuro in the Nu from CCA that disappeared after the Axis Shock

>>23328904
where's Char's cockpit then?

>>23329002
Ball cockpits werent invented then. It could very well be the beam saber its holding because that's what it had on its hand as it struck the final blow.

>>23329009
>ywn be turned into a beam saber and stabbed deep into the body of Amuro's enemies
why even live

>>23326344 (OP)
annos just playing with his gunpla and evangelion figures, he can play whatever music he likes

>>23328904
There's still no indication Amuro is even in it. I think it'll just be Shuji piloting it with newtype magic

yfw this banger started to play in the final episode of Gkek

No way Kamille would support an entire universal genocide man. He's not jewish for a start

>>23328701
What a secondary thing to say...

>>23327821
>Beyond the time isn't Nu Gundam's theme lmao.
It's CCA's theme, you fucktard.

If they wanted to make the Lalah connection through music, you put BEGINNING. You know, the song that plays on the "Newtype ocean" sequence. Even "Rin Iogi" himself wrote the lyrics.

>>23327187
That reminds me of that one post about the original show's QUALITY moments being the manifestation of the White Devil's power and why Zeon soldiers feared it

>>23329413
Next up he'll start saying "mobile suit battle" is Kamille's theme or some dumb shit like that

>>23329426

>>23329709
Look at it from the other side (hehe): how do you associate the RX-78 with Beyond The Time?

>>23329729
I don't associate BtT with any mech.
I associate it with Char, Amuro and Lalah due to the lyrics.
I think you overly focus on Rx-78 being there, it's a niice piece of fanservice but I think it's supposed to be about characters first and foremost. It's relevant thematically here, Lalah and Shuji literally went beyond the time to save their loved ones.

Sunrise using it in Origin pissed me off way to be honest, it had no reason the be there and that rendition was godawful.

>>23326344 (OP)
Char has no excuse now if he gets his ass beat in red gundam, with psycommu and all.

>>23329023
>shuji gets into the grandpa gundam
>several minutes of silence
>wait, where's the psycommu?

>>23329815
I don't think they'd get away with having the OG gundam lose to the Gquack redesign, so Char is doomed.

You can't even do the bare minimum association of the mobile suits being extensions of their pilots. Someone brings up a mobile suit and you completely tune out any relevance, because those are just silly bits of merchandise interrupting the bog standard soap opera you show up for. Why would it matter what Gundam is present when a song misrepresents a character at a certain point in time? Unlike most series, THIS show is about the characters!

"Fans" like you make me sick.

i can imagine shugi being amuro and chan agi merged/distorted beyond the time, i imagine the rx-78-2 looks that way due to lalah's distortion and has the same spec as the gqux gundams but is actually the nu
or it's all alternate versions and not directly tied to the originals
really could be anything

can't wait for whatever space magic bullshit they came up with

God, you're a sad autist. I can't even if you're shitposting or if you genuinely believe this is something meaningful.
Did you get a stroke when people other than Kamille got to pilot Zeta in ZZ?
Will you piss and shit yourself if it's Shuji and not Amuro? Because it wouldn't be your memberberry toys smashing into each other even though it makes no fucking sense in the story?
Amuro is more than just the fleshy bit inside Rx-78 and Rx-78 also represents more than just Amuro.

>"Fans" like you make me sick.
I can say the same back to you.
You are exactly like those disney slop retards who coom in joy at the mere sight of a memberberry.

I think a lot of autists get too angry about the show here. However, at this point I can't really take it seriously at all, and it's basically an entertaining lightshow. Too many asspulls. It had a very strong setup but it is beyond me why they tried to write three different plots for a show this short. Why have the clan battle stuff presumably designed to welcome newcomers, while simultaneously being so self-referential to old UC later on that it becomes impossible for that same audience to follow? Not very well thought out. I'm sure the finale will at least entertain, but damn I'm disappointed with how much better these ideas could've been handled.

>>23327168
It worked for Daft Punk.

>>23330555
>so self-referential to old UC later on that it becomes impossible for that same audience to follow?
I know the average anime watcher has the IQ of a walnut but there isn't much they've done with references that requires you to have seen all of UC. Knowing who Bask is didn't do anything but make it obvious what was about to happen to me, but he's presented in a malicious way so when he shows up it's obvious shit's about to go down. Psycho Gundam means something to me, but just from the name alone a viewer understands it's some type of Newtype use mobile suit. Every reference that actually matters is exposited to the viewer, like Challia loredumping what Newtypes are and Lalah telling Machu what's going on with the Rose so she can be shocked when a second Lalah is in it. And as someone who knows UC Gundam like I do, I'd actually like this show a hell of a lot less if it was just an alternate universe and nothing else.

>>23326344 (OP)
In reality, Lahlah is bringing in the Nu, but she only remembers the RX-78

>>23327188
The artificial muscle instead of an inner frame is neat idea

>>23330597
>Hi-Nu is created when Lalah's told to manifest a suit that is beyond her imagination

>>23329104
Uso comes in behind Amuro to murder every named character

The nu will probably show up. Its literally perfect advertising for the upcoming PG Nu and they would have to be idiots to pass it up.
Just like char said lalah is changing things to how she saw them and Amuro's final moments were stabbing her with a beam saber while piloting the ol 78.

>>23329981
The winner will be left undecided because Kamille intervenes while piloting the Ideon with Judau and Uso.
It will be a very exciting twist that turns everything around.

>>23331343
Perhaps it won't actually be that silly, but such an anticlimax is in the cards for such a cowardly and half-assed production

>>23331407
They will do a cliffhanger for an s2 that will never come.

>>23326492
The standard ED works really well as a look into the shitty, Quess-like perspective Machu had on life before she utterly ruined herself a la Quess. GQuacks' music issues mainly stem from trying to have a turning point milestone in the show while lacking the episode length to justify getting a new OP and ED, which results in both songs not feeling like they appropriately fit the full scope of the story at this point.

>>23331492
that's the f91 reference

>>23326508

getting hype for the original 78 coming back like its some god robot while Amuro isnt even fucking piloting it is the definition of the war is bad meme.

the 78 was old tech by the end of the oyw. its painted like a clown car. its trashed and Amuro just gets in another fucking robot. what made it special was that it was him in the cockpit. some literal who space baby anime boy cannot illicit a nostalgic reaction from me just because he's wearing the skin with no soul.

>>23333137
I think the OP and ED were designed to be intentionally misleading. The OP is showing stuff that stopped being relevant halfway through while the ED implies a friendship between Machu and Nyaan never existed.

They used Beyond the time because the scene called for a menacing mood. BTT is the most ominus sounding of the music associated with Amurp

No, Grandpa's painted like a prototype. Have you seen how the Mirage 2000's test models looked? Or the F-15 STOL/MTD?

>>23334322
You people have such a warped and unrealistic sense of technology.
"IT WAS FOUR SECONDS OLD SO IT'S COMPLETELY OBSOLETE" motherfucker the tech has barely progressed in GQX0085 precisely because the domination of the Red Gundam meant there was absolutely NO necessity, no reason to improve Zeon MS. We can see from the GQX Gelgoog stats that it's inferior to the OG version which was ON-PAR with the Gundam AT THE END of the war. Post-war suits like Psycho Gundam and Hambrabi are LESS effective and LESS advanced than their OG counterparts precisely because they didn't need to be better.
Not to mention, it's a situation where ANY weapon is better than NO weapon. It's not the case that just because it was made a few years ago it's suddenly fucking useless and about to fall apart. Not at all.
Countries like the UK are still using tanks designed and produced in the late 1980's - that's fucking 30 years old, and they're still cutting-edge compared to what the shitholes they're sending them to have. Get a grip.

>>23334588
Explain what I'm looking at here

>>23335927
im not reading any of that because it completely misses the fucking point.

it doesnt MATTER how advanced the 78-2 is. if Amuro isn't in the cockpit i have no reason to care. if you're salivating overthe form of the nostalgia with no tethers to the meaning behind it's significance you are exactly the target audience this shitty show is catering to .

>>23336689
>if Amuro isn't in the cockpit i have no reason to care
Amuro is such a goddamn fucking BORING character (as are a number of Gundam protagonists that followed on his footsteps: Uso, Kira, Flit Asuno, etc). There's nothing that will change my perspective on this.

>>23336692
your opinion on Amuro doesnt matter either. in general, but not even in the case of this argument. MS:G is a story about Amuro piloting his robot, that's not up for debate. with him gone there's nothing significant about it's reappearance in Quuux beyond brand recognition. if you don't care about Amuro then you shouldn't care about the reappearance at all, and if you still do it means you care about the aesthetics of nostalgia more than the content.

>>23336689
You seem to be conflating me with someone else.
I didn't say a single thing about Amuro. Not a single thing. You're the one "salivating" over Amuro.
If you wanted to construct your argument based around AMURO being the important part, you should have talked about how he enhanced an already jacked machine to the point that he outpaced it, meaning the arms race wasn't actually about MS performance, it was about PILOT performance - instead of claiming the RX-78-2 was "old" and implying it was useless by the end of OYW, which is, in every possible sense, not true.

>>23336698
I'm a different person than the one you are replying to, by the way.
And no, you are wrong. The actual protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam is, indeed, the robot. Amuro is just there to pilot it. An excuse for human drama because the Japanese don't really like doing "robots as characters" in the style of Transformers.

>>23336692
HILARIOUS bait

>>23336714
What bait? I'm being honest there. What, you think because I visit /m/ that I have to worship that stupid redheaded putz?

>>23335899
>painted like a prototype
Got one better for you.

>>23336707
>you should have talked about how he enhanced an already jacked machine to the point that he outpaced it
I am not talking about vehicle specs you turbo autist.

I'll write it again. Amuro is the protagonist. he is the reason you watch gundam, become invested in the show, the narrative that unfolds around his struggle is the reason Anno is still jerking off to this day. excising him from the plot to shill the 78-2 is nostalgia pandering in the most hollow, cynical possible way.

>>23336713
this is so incorrect that i just have to assume its bait and disregard.

>>23336719
Sure bro, tell us more about how you believe in your fake opinions

>>23336725
>excising him from the plot to shill the 78-2 is nostalgia pandering in the most hollow, cynical possible way
Tell it to Bandai. They are the ones that put the original Gundam in all kinds of merch before whatever disposable "human drama" there might've been to the show.

>>23336729
>i disagree with that person!

You don't believe the bullshit you post, thus they are fake opinions.

>>23336748
>You don't believe the bullshit you post
What if I tell you that I do? Can you accept that I really dislike Amuro as a character?

>>23336752
>"I dislike Amuro"
That's an opinion
>extending that dislike to three completely different characters who are all popular, particularly on /m/, because they're too similar to Amuro
That's a fake opinion

>>23336759
>That's a fake opinion
You are not making sense. Also, when has Kira ever been popular on /m/? Or when has Uso been popular fucking anywhere?

>>23336760

Fuck off, newfaggot. Kira has never been popular on /m/. Some people may like the Freedom or the Strike, but the character itself is quite detested.

>>23336766
If this were 2010 maybe, but you already know you're full of it

>amuro goes to the future with the rx78-2
>gets bitchslapped by char's red gundam which is closer to a gundam mk2
Can't wait to see it happen.

>>23336725
...I don't get it, dude. Your post clarified nothing, you said a lot of words yet said nothing.
The name of the show is "GUNDAM", not "Amuro". I feel like you've changed your argument to sound like you have a point, yet I can't tell what your point is. Amuro is the human protagonist, Gundam is the de facto protagonist.
Riddle me this; in the novelisation, Amuro dies and Char changes sides and pilots the Gundam. Is Amuro still the protagonist then? What's with that?

Amuro was only ever used to convey the human collateral damage in the ever-advancing march of the war machine.

>>23336893
Well, he got his ass beat in the Z'Gok, the Gelgoog, the Zeong and the Sazabi, so it makes sense that he'd only win Amuro if he was stuck in a bog-standard RX-78-2 while he had a super special Gundam with psycommu and bits...

>>23337162
You were doing fine until...
>and Char changes sides and pilots the Gundam
This is stale bullshit. While Char does join forces with the Pegasus crew in the novel, he pilots his Rick Dom, not the Gundam. Check it out here: >>23293771

>>23337162
There are chunks of the show where we follow Amuro as he's away from White Base and the Gundam for extended periods. If you were right, then all those times would just be spent in the hangar watching the Gundam instead. The show would end with the Gundam's destruction instead of continuing even after it's completely inoperable. The ending song wouldn't be Eien ni Amuro, but Eien ni Gundam.

>>23337162
>Riddle me this; in the novelisation, Amuro dies and Char changes sides and pilots the Gundam. Is Amuro still the protagonist then? What's with that?
amuro and the gundam were both destroyed, you're thinking of a gihren's greed videogame, not the novel

>>23337292
>The ending song wouldn't be Eien ni Amuro, but Eien ni Gundam.
But the opening is "Fly! Gundam!", not "Fly! Amuro!"

>>23337304
Because that's the show's name. Mobile Suit Gundam. The logic doesn't work the other way around.
>Mobile Suit Gundam is about Amuro, who pilots the Gundam, and the ED is about him, and the OP is about the Gundam
>the show is named Gundam and the protagonist is the Gundam and Amuro is incidental, but the ending song is named for and about Amuro because........

>>23337162
>I feel like you've changed your argument
you feel wrong, if anything i'm getting tired of repeating myself.


the gundam does not think or feel, its inanimate. it is the literal and metaphorical vehicle though which Amuro experiences the one year war. its also the coolest, most marketable part of the show, and the part kids latch onto, so yes, it gets top billing, but that's meaningless and i have no idea why you're hung up on it as if that's some sort of gotcha.


disregarding your hypothetical because as two other anons have already stated its incorrect.

>>23326823
>no argument
Stop projecting.

BUMP

>>23327391
I just really want it to be gquuux Amuro who grew up a civilian and never once touched a mobile suit, scared out of his mind at being teleported into an active warzone and with no reason to fight anyone.

When is the next episode airing?

>>23342304
Same time as the other episodes. 12:30AM in Japan, and then 30 minutes later it'll go up on Prime.

>>23331492

Don't forget it's only been since after the USA's Vietnam War that we started only having gray or black aircraft.
At least the stealth aircraft have an excuse. But things like the F-15s do not.
At least the Blue angels still have their trademark colors at air shows.

Casval is a brilliant scientist matching the genius of Tem Rey, Aeolia Schenberg and Ulen Hibiki combined!

What a terrible final battle. Why the fuck would gundam's ace be getting bigger? It literally dodges everything by a hair's breath. It couldn't be assed to use any of its other weaponry or even its second beam saber. It just gets ganked to death without achieving anything but a lucky squeeze that doesnt even kill Nyaan.

You know what the worst part is? We will never get a proper Zeon wins series.

>>23343489
No doyeeh Because Zeon winning is unrealistic

Who greenlit this 0079 fanfic for an animated production? Genuinely asking.

>>23343554
Even if Char gets to kill Kycillia, it was pretty fucking stupid for it to do the salute. What? Char wrote a quick emote macro just so he can be ICONIC?????? Just kill her. Why even do the stupid salute in mobile suit form? At best he could do a quick videocall saluting at her before the shot.

>>23342282
it was CCA Amuro and he gave Machu a hug

>>23343636
psycommu system lets him do that easily

>>23343494
>>23343489
It's sad really. Zeon can only win if a sleeping newtype god fucks everything up.

>>23343489
Yep, nothing of the actual interesting part of a Zeon victory were explored for the sake of side nonsense and multiverse magic shit, Gihren shows up just to die in 2 minutes and basically everything interesting happens off screen or is glossed over

>>23343489
>instead of being oppressed by the feds, spacenoids get oppressed by fellow spacenoids!
I don't think that would be all that interesting really

Why is Japan's solution for "appealing to girls" always end with lesbians? Or girls getting married to girls.

This is softest safest sh1t ever.

>>23345222
>2 female friends go on a trip to the beach
>lesbians
fucking wat
When did we ever get any kind of intimacy between Machu and Nyaan?
You forget the part where they both are after they same guy and it ends with them talking about going to find him?

>>23345222
I honestly think Machu kind of hates Nyaan. Even in this episode, it really felt like a one-sided relationship. Machu just wanted Shuji

>>23345249
Your cope over their badly written friendship actually being complex has blossomed into a full on delusional headcannon. A time to be celebrated

>>23345243
>>23345249
Did you watch the the ending? Everything was about them metaphorically severing ties with Shuji and instead choosing to be with eachother. It's symbolized with them decapitating Shuji in a 2v1 battle. Then going to the beach together.

>>23326394
Beyond the Time is neither the RX-78-2 Gundam's theme nor the RX-93 "Nu" Gundam's theme. It's the personal theme for Amuro and Char, and its lyrics are about the inevitability of their destinies being tangled up together.

It's actually the PERFECT theme to use where it was used, as far as throwback themes go.

>>23345400
Yeah I watched the ending. It had Machu kissing kissing him and then saying She and Shuuji will swim together in the ocean one day. If that's cutting ties with someone then you and the writers must be mentally ill.

>>23345400
We're looking at a case of level 2 yurifag brainrot

>>23345296
>>23345400
Mentally retarded yuricopers. Machu doesn't give a shit about Nyaan, she just wants to fuck the twink. There's nothing there, not even a friendship. Nyaan's like a loser who's barely tolerated

>>23345457
>>23345459
>>23345462
They hated him because he told the truth

>>23345222
Cope harder, /u/tard. Machu kissed a boy and liked it.

>>23345249
She only friendzoned Nyaan out of pity. I'm sure she is useful whenever Machu feels down - she can always compare herself to her ('at least I'm not a war criminal who committed genocide', 'at least I have a family back home') and immediately feel better.

>>23345457
>inb4 sequel announced
>inb4 it's another dimension-hopper Shuuji and not the one she kissed
>but Nyaan is fine with it and they hook up
>Machu still alone

>>23345222
>Why is Japan's solution for "appealing to girls" always end with lesbians?
The fuck are you talking about? This is appealing to men. When Japan is appealing to girls they just have pretty boys like with Wing or OO.

>>23343489
Zeon will never win because eventually the Zabis will turn on each other anyway. Well, Kyciliah and Ghiren will turn on each other anyway.

>>23345457
Shuji told her what she wanted to hear and then bailed as fast as possible, he's cutting ties with them and they're still chasing him

>>23350378
>Nyaan become Dimensional Travellers as their obsession with Shuuji grows in the sequel
So many worlds to explore! Should have aimed at the kodomo audience with that premise.
