The hate for this show is so overblown, half the posts are that one retard that hates machu for some reason and calls deux "duex" and shuji a "hobo" all the time, the other half is some retard that has been spamming machine translated stuff from futaba.
>inb4 durr cope
Yeah yeah spew all the buzzwords you want, astroturfing a slow ass board isn't an achievement.

The show is shit.

take your meds, please just fucking take them the doctors prescribed them for a reason

No worry, OP, you are right.

It's just the English fandom going bonkers from seeing kino.

Holy fuck they recreated a shot from Mobile Suit Gundam and/or Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta I'm leaking... No... No fucking way that isn't oh my GODD that's AN ACTUAL CHARACTER from Mobile Suit Gundam and/or Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta showing up for 5 seconds before dying or just fucking off forever it's peak I'm going to blow

>>23328498
>kino
Of course your type likes the show.

>>23328501
Kino means kinema.

>>23328490 (OP)
I like the show. It's not perfect, definitely feels like it was meant to be 24 episodes instead of 12 but they cut it down about as well as they could.

Can't wait to build some of these model kits. I might hold out and wait for the RG Gqux and red gundam though.

>>23328506
>definitely feels like it was meant to be 24 episodes
Khara isn't really known for having long dragged character dramas, it all happens in a matter of few IRL hours usually.

>>23328506
>definitely feels like it was meant to be 24 episodes
There's not enough content for 24. Even with 12 the entire first 4 episodes is basically filler.

>>23328490 (OP)
Welcome to /m/

>>23328732
And then Build Fighters came out 2 years later and no one cried about it

>>23328707
>few irl hours
I actually binged the show just in time to catch the latest episode and it's really interesting to me how much the show captures the vibe of everything happening over a short time period. There's definitely implied lurches every so often, but the way the Sodon's presence is repeatedly emphasized really anchors down the timeline of events to the sort of thing you'd hear on the nightly news over the span of two weeks.

>>23328738
Lots of people cried after the first season. Definitely everything after Try.

>>23328506
It's funny seeing all the copes for Gwitch being reused for this shitty show too. This one is the lack of runtime argument, even though both shows both wasted time with superfluous bullshit anyway.
Some other defenses i can see being reused in the coming years on /m/
>The premise had potential but was screwed over by [Random staff member scapegoat]
>The show was getting good but they wasted time by pandering to fans of [Scapegoat character]
>The show needed rewrites even though it took enough years and had enough delays to make a whole new anime
>The show will get a compilation movie that will fix it

>>23328748
People were the same way about Code Geass. People were the same way about 00.

some shit just doesn't change.

>>23328755
Hey Code Geass did get fucked over by a rewrite due to time slot change so that's not fair what we know of the original plan sounds way worse than R2 honestly so it was destined to be shit either way

>>23328761
>>23328755
Wasn't R2 supposed to be 50 episodes?

>>23328490 (OP)
I hate it because it's 12 episodes, they just speedrun the whole 0079 to CCA and they expect to wrap it up in one episode.

I'd never understand why people default to episode count as if thats going to magically fix the writing. No Gundam anime has fit within its allowed episode count because there's always going to be complaints about filler, motw, and clip shows what's worse is that even if the show has a full 50 episode run it can still have a shitty rushed ending.

>>23328490 (OP)
the show is genuinely bad.
the characterization and design of the main cast is also comical and childish and doesn't belong in gundam so those are also valid criticisms, you are literally coping lmao

only subzero IQ loli pedos like this shit show

the show should have started with nyaan getting in the gundam after delivery of the upgrade thing tem ray made goes wrong, have her be noticed by Xavier, and get us into alternate UC zabi infighting and politics by episode 2
of course the studio behind this slop didn't want to explore any of that or have a character driven political drama they just wanted fan service and cutesy childish modern tranime tropes

>>23328795
>MLP-tier magic shows where's no realism, logic, or laws of physics

newtypes are cool because they make you feel like robot and pilot create a greater whole than the sum of its parts. It's also a way to make gundams feel larger than life. In 1979 having a giant robot was something out of science fiction and fantasy, now technology makes that feel less special so the needle gets moved forward.

>Newtype garbage like Unicorn where they are stronger than Superman and Goku combined
Yeah this is still a series with a targeted demographic of young teenagers. Strength and ability is still quantified by a raw and generic sense of applied force. However, gundam subverts this by showcasing how often human nature and the nature of conflict is unaffected by one person with seemingly limitless power on their hands.

>multiverse shit like Marvel
Gundam has almost 50 years of history. This is a fun way to leverage that history. Just because marvel did it does not mean that it's bad. Are we going to say gundam is a ripoff of the day the earth stood still?

>only subzero IQ loli pedos like this shit show
You just need to realize you aren't the target demographic. If you're getting upset that you can't self insert into the power fantasy slop then you probably need to work harder to find agency within your own life.

>>23328490 (OP)
>The hate for this show is so overblown
Eh. Seems about right to me

The bait and switch of leading with such a unique mech aesthetic then dovetailing immediately into more UC wank (and not only that but anno style slavish recreation UC wank) fucking sucks. Machu feels like a fanfic writers self insert interacting with the real characters

>>23328490 (OP)

>astroturfing
you use that word without knowing what it means

>>23329038
>Machu feels like a fanfic writers self insert interacting with the real characters
if this was true then she'd actually be interacting with them in some capacity instead of just having the plot explained to her by them.
If anyone is the self insert it's Shuji, the barely developed guy who has girls fawn over him instantly, is totally Char's peer equal and is the only one who understands Lalah's heart while also having the original gundam in his back pocket

>>23328490 (OP)
If anything this slop doesn't get enough hate.

>>23328490 (OP)
Nothing is more astroturfed than the show itself considering 96% of all posts are gay shuji porn, machu porn, and fawning excessively over the most bland and boring of characters and character designs (coincidentally just like pokemon fags)

Why is Comoli suddenly talking like she's an authority on newtypes?

>>23329058
Don't forget that jarman faggot only making videos with positive and meme reactions and ignoring all the backlash and criticism.

>>23329058
being horny (and more often than not gay) for the characters is the only way ive seen people try to defend this piece of shit show

>>23328490 (OP)
The show is genuine garbage but what the fuck is up with the random bot that comes into threads and floods it with schizo ramblings about a actress?

>>23329065
Nah if you were around /m/ you'd see the main way people defend this show is saying all of the bad parts of it were actually bad on purpose to subvert your expectations. Those defences are crumbling in real time though which is hilarious

>>23329070
>it was actually shit on purpose because thats deep
ah yes the old Eva defence

>>23328732
Goddamn, /m/ had standards and taste back then?
now they defend actual trash like G-Bitch and GCucks and pretend they are masterpieces, besides spamming 50+ daily coom threads

>>23328732
AGE was good and GCucks isn't

>>23329058
Yup, the Pokemon art style (which this show coopts) is like a get out of jail free card for so.yboys and fags.

>>23329235
This.
if you want to pander to pedophiles and LGBT without getting any criticism, just make it pokmeon.
in this case, hire the Pokemon character designer and make the characters fuckable for Reddit

>>23329057
>If anything this slop doesn't get enough hate.
I actually kinda like the show but I agree with this. I stuck around for the "Zeon wins" scenario but it feels an awful lot like they had about four different ideas and cobbled them together kind of haphazardly. Should've just done different OVAs for different plot threads.

>>23329364
I think the show deserves more hate because it could have been good
its maybe the only chance for the foreseeable future we will have at an alternate take on the UC timeline and rather than inverted zeta gundam we got a love triangle story with nothing of substance except references

>every reply hating on the show is loaded with grammar and spelling errors
Hmmmm.

>>23329231
AGE was shit but at least it had Grandpa Flit being a fun racist grandpa.

>>23328490 (OP)
I want to fuck Machu

>>23328490 (OP)
I actually like the show but it's objectively bad.

The only thing I appreciate this show for is that it gets newcomers to watch the OG and Zeta. What I'm not looking forward to is more asinine takes after they watch them. Monkey's paw I guess.

>>23328490 (OP)
Machu and Deux are great but that's it. The idea of Zeon winning the OYW is all well and good but the way it's executed here is just so boring. The MS designs are also too much.

>>23329928
Eh, it'd happen either way. I at least prefer to see the minority that gets into them and comes away with the right perspective. GCucks is truly abominable but I won't reject any newcomers.

>>23329955
Mindbroken by a 12 episode show.

When you spend a time on a smaller board, such as /m/, or /vr/ for example, you realize there's always a few people who seem to have an agenda, and will battle whatever thing they don't like every day. And yeah as you say it's easy to recognize them due to keywords, typing style, etc.
The internet might not be totally dead, but it's getting there.

>>23328738
I remember when people cried about MUH BUILD KNUCKLE SPAM and RENATOS DINDU NUFFING WRONG. People cried. It's just that like always it's about stupid shit nobody cares about.

>>23328490 (OP)
That Gundam looks awful. The lack of restraint Yamashita started showing once he no longer had to worry about the animation staying on model due to the switch to 3DCG worsened the quality of his designs significantly.

>>23328490 (OP)
a uniform just appeared on char magic girl style
that`s so random and dumb and makes that fictional universe implausible. literally any dumb random magical thing can happen now for no reason so its not even science fiction anymore its some harry potter shit. teleporting across universes ok but the precision to materialize a perfect uniform on someones body out of thin air is asking too much. i cant even suspend my disbelief anymore.

and machoo is a dumb girl chasing after a hobo thats not even into her. typical female. fucking stupid but still far less retarded and annoying then suletta in the lesbian from mercury

It was mostly from annoying retards trying to astroturf during those final episodes, but they were drowned out by how much everyone loved BF. The same faggots tried to bring it back when Try was getting stale but it didn't work as well as all of the other problems plaguing Try. So no it wasn't bad at all. But it was mildly annoying around the time it came out.

why does machoo say char smells like the hobo
can people identify family lineage by smell?
i have a bad sense of smell, i can tell if someone smells like soap or bo but thats it. do the japanese have a superior sense of smell? can they tell each other apart by smell alone? is that a thing? or maybe its just a newtype thing?

>>23330063
I wasn't around when BF aired but it was so good I imagine shitposters couldn't gain any ground about it. From my time on /m/ I personally think this board was at its worst when WfM was airing, but depending on how the finale for GQuuuuuuX goes that could change lol.

>>23330049
I mean Code Geass was almost 20 years ago now...

>>23328738
AGE's initial reveal was in a kids magazine with at-the-time poorly translated descriptions of the plot/synopsis (Hence shit like "The pilot controls Gundam with their smart phones"), whereas Build Fighter's reveal was during a livestream with this PV being the first introduction to it

>>23330072
Kycilia and Nyaan has a fragrance theme because Kycilia wears the mask to hide the smell of war. Food smells good,s she poisons the air. Nyaaan is having some sort of psychic newtype sensation she says is a smell. Some sort of animal thing because she's linked to cats and Machu dogs idk

>>23328490 (OP)
I thought it's fun. May be flawed, but the week-to-week journey for it has been fun. But only if you're interacting with Japanese fans. The only place where you can still allowed to have fun without people harshly judging you. The bing bing wahoo stigma and the consoom meme really destroyed any sense of wonder people had. And now, they had nothing to trust, nothing to believe

>>23330549

CGI Veteran Hiroyasu Kobayashi Breaks Down How He Mech-ed the Magic Happen In Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX
>In the West, CGI in anime often carries a unique stigma, as fans favor traditional 2D animation over its digital counterpart. This preference is partly due to how CGI can sometimes appear jarring when juxtaposed with hand-drawn backgrounds or characters. Is this sentiment also echoed among anime fans in Japan, and was that something that went into the thought process of making GQuuuuuuX?
>Kobayashi: I think it's reduced quite a bit, that kind of hesitation toward it. One of the things that has happened recently is that there are numerous game franchises like iDOLM@STER. All the characters in iDOLM@STER are 3D rendered. Then, there are anime shows that feature those characters. At least for references, even within certain segments of the shows, you see 3D CG being incorporated as a rendering process. This may sound rather boorish, but compared to poorly hand-drawn animation, decent 3D animation is something that people don't poo poo upon. It has less to do with how much money has to be expended. We are constantly made aware of cost performance and making sure that it doesn't overrun budgets. But, at the end of the day, it's about how convincing and how pleasing it looks to the audience. (Laughs) Everybody likes Genshin characters, don't they? It has a lot to do with how people appreciate artwork, and the means is not as important as what they finally take from it.

I don't like this line and the implications behind it.

Funny how mainline UC Newypes have no problem with Char and his alleged 'emptiness'. They are even more likely to be drawn to him (Lalah, Kamille, Quess). So Challia is calling Lalah (the Goddess of Time and Space) a bullshitter here? Rude.

Most the show was fine but this final episode is awful

This show is a parody.

>>23343518
Let's see how the feddies handle newtypes.
Oh yeah...

>>23343714
The idea that apparently cyber newtypes got Amuro Spunk in them is somehow pretty hilarious and disturbing to me. Imagine the reason that cyber newtypes go crazy is due to all the Amuro cells hating everybody they get implanted into.

Most hate for this show is just not paying attention to the original series and misogyny lol

Dumb, predictable shit.

>>23343762
But all your predictions were wrong lol.

>>23343742

They're showing us the "open channel" you retard

>>23333696
I think would prefer poorly drawn mecha fights over ragdoll cg
2D has more merit, and everyone appreciates it more when it looks really good, because that means whoever was responsible for how it turned out did a great job. That's just how it is

>>23343846
There was a scene in the final episode where the foot of the Gundam squished and squashed instead of actually rotating mechanically like it would in real life, and it really took me out of the moment. You get retarded stuff like that in CG because you don't have to sit and think about if it'd actually move like that while you're drawing it.

>>23343738
>>23343714
I only found out this lore recently and it's crazy to me. Cyber Newtypes were already leaning into body horror territory, but knowing it's amuro's cells in them makes it even weirder.

A Cyber Newtype post Axis Shock being haunted by Amuro's soul would be frightening. Imagine getting newtype flashes and hearing the voice of this dead guy and not knowing who it is. No wonder they go crazy.

>>23343863
>>23343714
Also, would this technically mean that all cyber newtypes from at least the Federation to be considered as Amuros' kids?

>>23343738
>>23343863

It's not Amuro's semen, it's DNA taken from blood samples. They're not trying to create Amuro's kids, but rather turn other people into more Amuros.

It was good in first Gundam and CCA, but even Tomino dropped Newtypes as a concept in their later entries because he had already explored the idea to its fullest.

Nothing in this show or any of the other UC entries after CCA that put extra thematic focus on Newtypes have had anything interesting or insightful to explore through them.
It's just Gundam fans who are finally old enough to make Gundam playing with its parts like a toybox.

yall are really acting like this show isn't going to get a 24 episode season 2.

>>23345441

>>23345441
yeah sure anon that was totally the plan, and when it never happens you'll claim it was some misunderstood masterpiece that never needed another season anyway

GQuuuuuux season 2: Machu and Mainline Haman Karn bridge the gap between worlds as a result of their redhead femcel brainwaves resonating

>>23345512
I'll only watch it if Haman gets a Sailor Axis henshin with her ZZ costume like Char did

So...the mainline UC is actually the AU?

If this is the actual UC now, the Turn A dark history nonsense is reset?
honestly what's the point of UC if you already know everything will go to shit and end with Turn A or G-Reco?

>gundam was always a magical girl series about alternate universes staring the most insufferable characters ever, UC was actually the alt universe guys
so guindam has finally gone the way of so many other sci-fi franchises

>>23345988
not even, it doesn't even play a part in this show, char getting skewered means it's another different universe

>>23345988
Oddly, no.
The universe where the Lalah who created the parallel universes comes from, is not mainline UC. It's that universe where Amuro kills Char instead of Lalah.
Technically canon 0079 didn't actually play a part in this story.

>>23345423
>but even Tomino dropped Newtypes as a concept in their later entries

>>23328490 (OP)
Nostalgia slop with no weight behind actions no matter how big they are, brief interactions that result in huge decisions somehow, cannot stand by it's own merit, deus ex machina everywhere. If you're just into "wow, pretty colours" (muh kirakira) then it's fine for you i guess but if you want any kind of actual narrative, cohesive story, consistent characters then it's utter trash.

It was a bit messy, but I think I liked that show, you can tell it was made with love
>>23346009
I'm pretty sure it's CCA Amuro at the end, so I think at least a part of his psycommu got thrown in this show universe, it's just not the same universe as Lalah's.

>>23345441
I don't think so, it might get a sequel movie though. Especially with how well Beginning did.

>>23346770
>I'm pretty sure it's CCA Amuro at the end
The ghost's arms indicate he has his 0079 normalsuit though.

>>23346789
Maybe original Amuro died in one universe instead of Char... Maybe the world Shuji came in? he doesn't come from Lalah's world and has traveled a lot. Shuji does recognize it as the "real gundam"
or it's Amuro from the novels. Didn't he die in these?

You can pinpoint the exact moment the ending turned to garbage and that's the scene where gundam grew in size for no real reason.

Yes, I know it's a dunbine but that's the problem. The whole show is just references. References the show. I hope you clapped.

>>23346810
wasn't the gundam in the novel also grey and bigger?

>>23346013
>>23346348
Exactly, these are throwaway moments that barely have impact in the show. They're just cameos at best.

Meanwhile every other writer takes the idea of Newtypes and fixates on how they're the coming Messiahs that will save humanity.

Tomino in his later works relegates Newtypism to a background element of his stories because he wants to focus on realistic practical human solutions to his stories. Instead of just handwaving things with Newtype magic.

>>23328490 (OP)
>The hate for this show is so overblown
Do you still stand by your word?

>>23346908
No I don't I completely withdraw my protest. The gundam got a super mushroom and grew in size and none of it is explained. What a shitload of fuck what were they thinking?

>>23344745
So basically what you're saying is that they're saying "Unlike other mecha, this is about the characters" but in reverse?

>>23346914
Making a Dumbine reference was more important.

>>23346914
>What a shitload of fuck what were they thinking?

This isn't G-Witch season 1 or 00. There are no cliffhangers or post-credit ending screens that say "Mission Not Yet Complete". This is what a definitive ending looks like.

>>23347155
It became Geniusbine when they went to earth

>A Cyber Newtype post Axis Shock being haunted by Amuro's soul would be frightening. Imagine getting newtype flashes and hearing the voice of this dead guy and not knowing who it is.
That sounds like a great idea actually.

>>23343714
Don't forget the massive amounts of cocaine they pump into them. Thanks moon gundam for turning cyber newtypes into crackheads.

>>23345441
It has a really flimsy sequel hook in Machu still being horny for the boy who kept killing the girl he had a crush on over and over again, but I don't know if that hooks really something that appeals to even fans of this show.

>>23348578
That's just Machu being a realistically written high school girl. Bitches love men that would kill them. Relena 2.0 if you will. It's not really a sequel hook.

This gundam was such a mess colour-wise. And the feet were bad too. It was otherwise alright.

I wish we got to hear Challia's opinion on the last scene of CCA. Does he even understand what Char meant about Lalah being a mother

>>23328490 (OP)
I actually think the show is fine until you get to Shuji.
I can even deal with Lalah dreaming up new universes. Char tricking Zeon into building a universe teleporter for him, and Amuro getting turned into a Gundam. But the whole final conflict revolving around an unexplained, underdeveloped anomaly of a character, somehow justifying killing his waifu (who barely knows he exists?) over and over as a way to protect her, is just hard to swallow. Mind you this is after 5/6ths of his screen time had depicted him as this go-with-the-flow artistic savant who just wanted to have fun.
The whole core conflict revolves around his actions, and he just kind of sucks. So the whole thing suffers because of it.

>>23348596
Char is into unbirth and meant it literally. It's why he hooked up with a prostitute, he needed her to be blown out enough for his head to fit.

>>23348599
>The whole core conflict revolves around his actions, and he just kind of sucks. So the whole thing suffers because of it.
What did you expect of a Kaworu clone, but worse than the original?

>>23348837
Kaworu was all about empathy and perspective, Shuji shut himself off from everyone and just assumed he knew best for Lalah, he's more like anti-Kaworu.

>>23328490 (OP)
Take your meds, xitter nigger.

>>23348535
That could be cool. I wouldn't imagine that Amuro, or the faint whisper of him as a newtype spirit on the universe's winds or whatever, would be thrilled about it either.
Honestly that sounds like a much better solution to having him in some way present in a post-CCA story than how Unicorn tried it with Full Frontal and Char. You could go some really interesting directions with that, without being anywhere near as weird or jarring about things.

Can we at least all agree that the music sucked? The insert songs were particularly bad.

>>23348842
Is there any clone of Kaworu that mimicked his character well?

>>23343863
Amuro doesn't sound like the kind of guy haunting people for fun (like Lalah and her antic in CCA) unless he had reason. His ghost appeared in HF to warn Hathaway and even in GQux he only spoke up during last ep

>>23349035
The yandere version.

>>23349052
I think I read somewhere Akira Ishida said that he struggled when told to act like Kaworu when voicing dude in pic, because Ishida found either the guy or mc of that anime didn't have any likeable trait for him

Oh yeah he was quite vocal after last movie of Eva rebuild. Iirc he wasn't satisfied with Kaworu's role in movie or something

>>23348351

After how Khara handled this show, I don't trust them to do a sequel in whatever form it takes. Same goes if Bandai Namco/Sunrise touches Ad Stella again (the production team behind Witch from Mercury opting to bail after WfM ended).

>>23349064
Oh wait I got it wrong. Ishida was more quiet passive aggressive after movie

It's legitimately mediocre and would have worked better as a movie, just about everything that could have gone wrong went wrong
>It was in production at the same time as Gundam Witch of Mercury Season 2 causing both projects to cannibalize each other
>Captain Earth's writer with no tard wrangler
>Tsurumaki as the director, a guy whose directional style is so chaotic that it only works well with short bursts on a setting that's designed to be chaotic like with FLCL, Gquuux trying to nostalgiabait this hard is the worst possible match for his style
>12 episode count causing the pacing to be frantic
The hate is only slightly overblown, that said I hate IBO far more than this, IBO technically is better written but it's so fucking boring, at least Gquuux entertained me a bit each episode

>>23349151
I understand why you think IBO is worse, but I really put this way below it for the simple fact it squandered the easiest slam dunk of an UC alternate history of Zeon winning for a retarded multiversal love story

>>23349151
IBO is nowhere close to boring - try watching 50 episode mecha anime from 70s and 80s.

>>23349159
I've done that already and most that I've watched are good and personally far more entertaining than IBO
But maybe my mind just rejects everything by Mari Okada, I've hated just about every show I've seen by her and don't get why she's so popular with normalfags

>>23345988
No, quacks is an AU to an alternate universe where Char blocked for Lalah instead of the other way around. So mainline UC has negative amounts of relation to quacks.

>>23343653
>>23348548
that's still funny as fuck to me

Make em kiss.

>>23328784
Because it allows them to ignore the actual issues with the writing in favor of pretending that everything would have gone like their fanfictiin if the creators had the room to do it

>>23328490 (OP)
only real criticism that i have with this show is that deux was never revived

>>23353835
You can't revive what isn't dead.

>>23328490 (OP)
the shows just bad though

>>23354224
It isn't.

>>23349159
>He says to someone who has probably seen full Gundam series from that period.

>>23349024
They felt oddly poppy for a production that largely seemed to be aimed at old farts

>>23358366
You are out of touch.

If it's intended to appeal the oldfags, why would I need to be in touch?

kino, it will be a cult classic

On /m/? Modern /m/? Perish the thought.

>>23349024
Only track I actually disliked was the one when Machu and Shuji kiss.

>>23349151
>IBO out of nowhere

>>23358366
This show was made for everybody, but in the end it was made for nobody

>>23362869
Nah you are just a jaded faggot.

>>23362869
Tsurumaki said in an interview that the show was made with 'SNS moments' in mind.
GQuX is literally an anime made for Tiktok.

>>23362887
Bleak if true

>AGE gets criticized for having Level 5 designs cuz it's for little babies
>Gcucks quite literally has Pokémon trainer designs for all the new characters but it's totally okay because the girls get a ton of porn due to how mainstream rule 34 has become


I hate you cumbrain retards so much.

>>23362955
Are you mad about double standards or mad that coomers like Qux designs more?

>>23328490 (OP)
I just watched the first and last episodes. The problem is that I will never like anything that's new and expensive-looking. Too much money was put into it, it's too name brand, it has too many people working on it. It was made to make money- profit.
Which means that the only problem with the show is me. lmao, can't believe it took this long for me to realize that I've been in the wrong place this entire time, I have lost my grasp on the mecha genre

>>23363065
Those are all headcanons man.

>>23328490 (OP)
GCucks fucking sucks

>>23363065
Nah, this was done by Khara and unlike recent Sunrise projects you didn't get manga tie-ins and such. As far as creative goes, it's pretty clearly centered around the animators rather than executives.

So that’s it? No side stories, drama CDs, or even a one shot manga? Is that really it?

It can’t be, right?

just shut up and eat my balls already

>>23363418
whatever that is
