My deepest apologies to animal haters, but that was clearly the best piece of art from SuleMio week, by yam. I'll do the card when there's a better resolution scan available.

I took out Vanadis Heart, added the setting guide and reorganized the OP in what is hopefully a more logical order. Please tell me if I fucked up something.

This is the storyboard leak.
I think it means that Shuji went back to his home planet and Machu and Nyaan were left behind and they'll chase him down in the almost soft confirmed movie sequel.

>>4436232
Oh yeah, and please use spoilers when discussing this. Having no idea what's going to happen next has been one of the genuine pleasures of GQuX and I'd rather not lose it.

>>4436232
I might be way off base here, but Nyaan showing shock and assuming that the place Machu wants to go is Shuji's dimension, followed by dramatic pause feels like a tee up for Machu to give her another answer. Gqux has a history of disappointing me, though.

>>4436231
I like how it goes from official to fanmade content, nice job OP-chan.

>My deepest apologies to animal haters.
They're long gone and defeated.

>>4436232
>Spoiler
Somehow people think it's hetbait, KEK.

>>4436233
Chink leaks were fun tho.

>>4436243
Note that we don't actually know what they mean by "shu-chan no tokoro". Could be his base on Side 6 too because they didn't see his final drawing

>>4436231
That's just one complainant anon.

>>4436390
Wonder if muh mogumo art anon is still here.

>/a/ is so ass hurt over gcucks being shit they are saying sulemio had no chemistry and are the worse Gundam pairing
Lol

>>4436444
But the sentiment as while they didn’t like Sulemio, it had actual chemistry compared to Machu’s one sided obsession

>>4436446
No they are saying sulemio had no chemistry

>>>/a/279845358#

>>4436448
That's just a shitposter that has been doing that since the show ended.

>>4436448
Anyone who says that sulemio don't have any chemistry is either fucking with you or has no media literacy. Some people are also just biased against any kind of nuanced depiction of gays in their shows. Swap the sex of either one of those two and we'd have twice as many sulemio fans and half as many people going, "ummm I don't know, they seem like friends to me..."

>>4436446
If only s2 didn't decide to force in guel. Never will understand why

GQX being a disaster was pretty unexpected, it might honestly be the reason why bandai is promoting gwitch in force again

Drop this retarded subject and post Sulemioweek fanart.

>>4436444
>>4436448
Good for them. Some of /u/s will eventually move on from Sulemio, but we can rest assured knowing that chuds and UC schizos will keep alive the Sulemio-WfM spirit alive for eternity.

>>4436463
>Anyone who says that sulemio don't have any chemistry is either fucking with you or has no media literacy.
This. Why are you still paying them attention? Sulemio isn't that subtle when Miorine asked Suletta to stay by her side forever, and the latter saying out loud she wants a ceremony with pretty rings and the very best dresses and asked Miorine to choose her. We've won.

>Ichinose: In the epilogue, the scene where Miorine puts her head on Suletta's shoulder is so good. 3 years have passed, I could feel that the space between the two of them had become more intimate, seeing a married couple in that form, once again my heart was touched.

>>4436546
It was the first Gundam anime not made purely by Sunrise, so perhaps some sloppiness was to be expected.

Gonna have to ask a specific source for pic related, since Google only sends me on a wild goose chase on twitters full of political bullshit.
Is there a more reliable way to find original twitter sources?

>>4436509
To act as a foil to Suletta, showing why Miorine was wrong to embark on her journey of being a hard woman making hard decisions.

Miorine's S1 and early S2 character arc is about her turning into her dad: supremely confident in her own abilities, feeling responsible for the world, willing to alienate and hurt her loved ones for their own good. When Suletta appears unreliable, she tries to have one talk with her and when it doesn't go well, she casts her and Earth House aside.

Instead, she picks as her partner someone she loathes, but who has access to resources she'll need in her campaign. This is a bit of a disaster: despite saying he doesn't trust her to handle the negotiations, he leaves her alone to deal with his own stuff and she has to draw emotional strength from the dumb PV (his side quest revealing Shaddiq is pure dumb luck). During the negotiations, it soon emerges Miorine doesn't actually know what the Earthians' lives are like (if only she knew some!) and they don't want her technocratic solutions, but showing off her friendship with the Earth kids she has just alienated impresses them.

The operation to arrest Shaddiq goes to hell. Maybe it was always going to end badly, but Guel certainly doesn't help by being a hothead and ignoring the professional's instructions. In the aftermath, Guel is incapable of supporting Miorine or doing much of anything except await his fate. Contrast this to Suletta, who's digging up bodies with her bare hands, helps the survivors and finally saves Miorine.

It's not that Guel's a bad guy (he takes Shaddiq alive and is loyal to Suletta and Miorine), but he doesn't have what it takes to stand by Miorine's side, and that's why he's prominent in S2, to suck and make Suletta's good qualities shine more.

>>4436566
https://x.com/BeSong_good/status/1919712812491841876

I just went through a couple Google image results. I don't think there's a better system for twitter.

>>4436570
>But he doesn't have what it takes to stand by Miorine's side, and that's why he's prominent in S2, to suck and make Suletta's good qualities shine more
Usually I read this about the Cuck. Interesting take neechan, I was fearing a +100 Guel schizo argument with that post.

I've read Guel is Miorine's foil, especially in season 1. Instead of literally running away from her dad, Miorine faced him, asked him some support and built some sort of relationship; Guel ended up killing his dad. I remember an analysis, from when the show ended, pointing out how Miorine decided to walk on her own path while Guel decided to follow his dad's.

>>4436578
>Usually I read this about the Cuck
There's some of that in their duel, explicitly so, but I think Shaddiq's main job is to parallel Miorine. Suletta's a better groom than him because she believes in Miorine and wants to support her instead of making decisions for her, but Miorine doesn't believe in Suletta and makes decisions for her. Miorine telling Shaddiq he lost because he won't trust others is accurate, but also applies to herself later.

>pointing out how Miorine decided to walk on her own path while Guel decided to follow his dad's.
That's true too. While she initially didn't do too well, at least Miorine decided to change the world after encountering the horror. After his experiences, Guel went right back to preserve Jeturk's position in dealing out the horror. Clearly he developed some sympathy for Earthians and was happy for things to change, but he wouldn't have achieved it without Miorine.

>>4436572
Thanks.
Take into account that googles result tend to be different for each person, so sometimes the twitter links will be completely irrelevant.

>>4436601
Yeah, and it only gave the main pages of each account. If it had been an older picture, it could have taken a while.

Gwitch truly is the savior of gundam

>>4436787
Really? I want to see, because iirc GCucks has more engagement on Twitter compared to GWitch.

>>4436814
The engagement isn't positive. JP side at least has nothing good to say about it

>>4436787
What do you mean? Gqucks still gets shitton of fanart and memes after every episode

>>4436828
JP isn't a hivemind. I'm not seeing any slowdown in its momentum when it comes to fan content and the vast majority of opinions I see is that it was rushed as hell but still exciting to watch.

>>4436814
>because iirc GCucks has more engagement on Twitter compared to GWitch.
Is this a joke or a bait?

>>4436834
It is kind of funny that both r/gundam and JP twitter had threads to the effect of "don't bully people for liking or not liking GQuX."

None of both nee-san, while lurking on /a/ someone posted a screenshot with #GCucks trending in japan with about 700k. I don't remember GWitch reaching that number, but it's been 2 years so I may be wrong.

He's an anti-yuri schizo who's been shitting up the /a/ Gundam threads for a while, he's either a ban evader or friends with one of the mods because fuck-all has been done about him chimping out all the time.

I made fun of him for being a huge retard and was warned for whatever reason.

That won't stop Suletta from fucking her.

Sis... This was their reunion episode 22... There's no way her hair wasn't dirty while she was in her depression blanket and in her unhygienic state.

I love the tender way Miorine is looking at Suletta, guess 3 years of cripple sex did wonders.

Alright, that's cute. Thanks

I rewatched Witch from Mercury. And without the novelty of waiting for the new episode to see what happens, it's kinda... mid, I guess?
The first episode is SO good, the way it ends with Miorine claiming Suletta as her new fiance, the visuals are amazing. But then it never reaches that height again for the rest of the series. There are some high points but it's mostly a steady decline to the absolute clusterfuck that is the end.
Secret space laser reveal with the final boss some random political group nobody gives a fuck about. Such a downfall compared to episode 1.

>>4438046
The corporate meddling was heavy-handed, especially in S2 by which they were probably panicking due to homophobic reactions, but it's still a miracle we got what we managed to get out of a franchise like this.

>>4438051
Bullshit.

>>4438046
>And without the novelty of waiting for the new episode to see what happens, it's kinda... mid, I guess?
Water is wet, sis. The main complaint is how the show being a wasted potential. At least Sulemio's story managed to get a pretty satisfying closure tho. GWitch is far from being perfect, but isn't as bad as UCfags and chuds say it is.

I KNEW IT.

>>4438110
Same anon here. I knew Nyaan and Machu were going to kira kira together, I didn't have hopes for yuri. Indeed, this was yuribaity hetshit show since I watched the movie. KEK.. Good thing this week the YF chapter drops.

All GCuck shippers who spammed with it here should apologise for wasting our time.
Once again listen to older yurifags here when we are telling you from start this crap wasn't worth of following from yuri fans perspective once and for all.

>>4438115
NyaChu is still cute and worth posting.
Gqux is so barren and its story so shit I can't really be bothered anyways.

Even in terms of the hetero romance, it didn't feel sufficiently developed or executed well at all; it's like a Bethesda game, I just see it as 'free real estate' so to speak. Incomplete story and characters you can do whatever you want with.

>>4438117
So not worth to give it any attention here like I was saying from start.

>>4438120
To each their own, I can draw, so I'd love to do some NyaChu art down the line, they're so underdeveloped and barren as characters I wouldn't have to worry that much about 'getting them right'.

They wasted the pokemon character designer on this

>>4438122
Nothing new, they wasted her on crap like World's End Club too.

Thank you GCucks for making me appreciate WfM's final episode! Sulemio will rule this threads til the end of time.

>>4438115
>from yuri fans perspective once and for all.
I didn't have to be a well-seasoned yurifag to know it was going to be hetshit. Though, it's not wrong to post Nyachu.

>>4438117
>Even in terms of the hetero romance, it didn't feel sufficiently developed or executed well at all
I agree, compared to the rings, the kiss felt underwhelming. Like someone said on /a/ somehow Bandai was uncomfortable showing Suletta and Miorine kissing, and worse, their marriage, but is okay with Machu kissing Shuji

Which goes again to a discussion from last year about Bandai's double standard with straight and gay ships.

>>4438124
I think Machu kissing Challia would've been more justifiable (from a relationship PoV) than Shuji desu.

isnt nyaa machu just rei asuka?
shuji - shinji

come on now
personally i was skeptical of the yuri and it was true after all

So is GCuxs worse than S(n)eed?

>>4438126
I'd pick that blue haired gal (Comoli?), I was growing fond of that crackship.

All I'll say about quuuuuux is that the retards who were saying SuleMio bad because no kiss are forever invalidated. Here we have a het kiss and it's still empty and worse than SuleMio. You need more than kisses to make a proper romance, turns out.

>>4438129
Nothing will ever top Destiny in awfulness. This series is silly but short.

In Destiny, seeing everything bend down to Super Kira’s invincible will was long and draining

>>4438130
Machu and Nyaan had chemistry with everyone (from Lalah to even Kycilia):.. except Shuji. Machu’s journey to get him was entertaining, but the actual person she liked wasn’t and the ending still not explaining his origins made it worse

>>4438132
None of the relationships in the show work aside from potentially Xavier/Chalia. they had much more chemistry and tension than any other character dynamic in the show.

Everyone was so flat and we barely had time with them.

>>4438132
Because it wasn't a proper romance, imagine a yuri work where we have obnoxious gremlin wanting to kiss some autistic oujo-sama situation where oujo-sama is feeding the girl drugs and where oujo-sama isn't really interested in the girl at al lromantically, then she disappears to do her own thing and other girl is doing everything to get her back to her and get drugs again and finally manages to kiss her in her mind. And then hopes to be with her someday in oujo-sama original universe.
Crappy story, right?

>>4438134
Destiny is at least an entertaining trainwreck in which nobody can communicate properly. Victory has the "so edgy it's funny" thing and G-Reco has movies somewhat salvaging its story. What can people say positively about AGE?

Gundam anon, do you think this is the worst Gundam show? Even worse than AGE or IBO?

>>4438142
>Gundam anon, do you think this is the worst Gundam show? Even worse than AGE or IBO?
AGE is far worse and least interesting. At least GQuuuuuuX has something to discuss about multiverses

It's crazy how everything that Gwitch did right, Gquax did wrong.
Suletta and Miorine's relationship was the highlight of the whole show, the central conflict, and it felt believable and well-developed. Season 2 might have been bad, but the show had already generated enough goodwill from the audience to keep them watching because they loved SuleMio.
Meanwhile in Gqux, the so called "romance" boils down to newtype bullshit that results in girls falling in love with some interdimensional jannie with zero personality because they felt a psychic high. Even outside of romance, the main trio had so few scenes together that it's impossible to give a shit about them or their relatioship with each other. Nyaan and Shuuji aren't even characters, they're plot devices. Nyaan in particular just acts however the script needs her to, which she herself acknowledges.

There's also how the Earth dorm kids in Gwitch continued to be kinda relevant even by the end, whereas the Pomeranians completely disappear from the story apart from a last episode cameo.
I mentioned this before, but Gquuax is like two different shows stitched together. The swerve after episode 6 was so drastic that it makes everything before feel pointless. You can have a Clan Battle show, and you can have a UC multiverse slop show, but not both at once.

>>4438146
It just shows that okouichi and kobayashi really care about sulemio.

>>4438141
Still not my cup of tea. Seeing Super Kira and Super Lacus lazily steamroll everyone made for an unpleasant watching experience as a teen. I remember telling myself “these pretty lasers should be fun, but why do I feel deflated at what’s happening?”

>>4438147
It was honestly special to see live

>>4438146
>The swerve after episode 6 was so drastic
Really feeling that writer change...

>>4438142
At least gcucks is mercifully short.

Holy shit. I wasn't expecting a Yuri end and my expectations were low but that was shockingly bad. Everything that seemed like depth turned out to be audience pareidolia. Machu and Nyaan were right to pin their hopes to a one-sided love. Machu was right to spend half the series engaging in violence for entertainment in an ostensibly anti-war series. And worst of all, Lalah was right to stay a slave until her dream prince on a white horse showed up. I'm actually grossed out.

>>4438132
>Here we have a het kiss and it's still empty and worse than SuleMio.
>than SuleMio
Nigga what? WfM showed they were dykes and wanted to marry out of love. Don't compare hetslop with Sulemio.

>>4438146
>Suletta and Miorine's relationship was the highlight of the whole show, the central conflict, and it felt believable and well-developed. Season 2 might have been bad, but the show had already generated enough goodwill from the audience to keep them watching because they loved SuleMio.
Yep, the show was always advertised as the story of two girls after all. Someone said how this show made us care about the cast (especially Sulemio), while GCucks is just UCwank.

>>4438147
Yes.

>>4438166
Not saying SuleMio is bad. I’m saying it’s good. Meanwhile MachuShuji is bad. Yet it should be the opposite according to the kiss worshippers that think a romance is shit or doesn’t count without a kiss
I hate how they wouldn’t shut up when WfM finished and now find it hilarious the relationship with a kiss is so empty and shit

>>4438147
Or are just plain better writers.

>>4438051
That's completely retarded because they would have never highlighted the series in the first place.

>>4438097
>chuds
Don't.

>>4438168
>I hate how they wouldn’t shut up when WfM finished and now find it hilarious the relationship with a kiss is so empty and shit
And yet people won't question Machu's feelings for Shuji, kek. With all its flaws WfM managed to deliver a believable, well-developed romance. I would've loved Sulemio to kiss in the Epilogue tho...

>>4438169
I'm surprised Enokido wrote this.

Funny how the copers evolve and are now dragging gwitch down with gcucks. Lots of 'gcucks is bad but gwitch is worse' and 'gcucks is as bad as gwitch but at least I had fun watching it'.

>>4438146
>Season 2 might have been bad, but the show had already generated enough goodwill from the audience to keep them watching because they loved SuleMio.

I still stand by the belief that sulemio’s depiction in s2 is good because despite being apart for most of it their relationship is still the driving force of the show. Their relationship is fractured at the end of s1 but it’s that same relationship that drives them towards all their actions, good or bad, in s2. They genuinely love each other and it’s that love that forces them to make the sacrifices that they do in s2. Make either of them (or even BOTH of them) guys in s2 and you’d have way less people questioning the legitimacy of their relationship. Ffs the guys in the show are the most obvious foils to the girls but because they’re guys people treat them as serious options and even go so far as to doubt sulemio’s relationship.

>but Gquuax is like two different shows stitched together
I’ve seen so many people say that more episodes would’ve fixed it but I can’t see that happening when the premise is already so fucked. Legitimately how do you stretch this out without just adding more shit to the pile? They either needed to commit to the clan battles or the multiverse shit because neither feel relevant to the other.

Machu still loves Shuji after he tries to kill Nyaan she really doesn't give a fuck about her at all.

>>4438181
Gwitch is hated on this site mostly because Miorine married Suletta lets be real

>>4438188
It was Suletta's choice not Miorine.

>>4438163
Incredibly disappointing how by-the-numbers this is coming from one of the utena guys. All the actual interesting things in the first 6 eps (shiiko and other former oyw vets, side 6 politics, fucking clan battles) ultimately resulted in set dressing until they got to the actual stuff they really cared about (multiverse nonsense). Shiiko’s whole episode is even more frustrating in retrospect because now she just looks fucking pathetic for not actually getting any real closure for her mav’s death despite following more or less the same path that machu does for the entire series. Cautionary tale? Nope, just unlucky!

And oh god, lalah. Poor lalah suffered the worst from this show and it’s just so heartbreaking to see. People complained about this show potentially being zeon wank but the real danger we should’ve looked out for was char wank.

>>4438184
>They either needed to commit to the clan battles or the multiverse shit because neither feel relevant to the other.


This you can make a good show with good characters in 12 episodes but you have to commit to a story and not completely abandon one for a different one in the middle.

>>4438163
>Everything that seemed like depth turned out to be audience pareidolia
I don't believe it. I don't believe you can have these many parallels in the show without it being intentional.
My copium will forever be that they just decided to stitch this multiverse nonsense onto the show in the middle of production because I simply cannot believe they accidentally had so many themes.
They straight up just dropped shit and never mentioned it again like Nyaan's diablo thing. What the fuck was that.

>Saw some neesan making a post about all the parrallels. Start thinking the show isn't actually as bad as I tougth.
It was

This is dishearting

>>4438186
If it makes you feel better, Nyaan was still worried for Shuji after he almost killed her

>>4438117
>>4438121
To enjoy a yuri ship, I have to like the characters first, and there's barely anything here to like. Machu is the closest to a real character, but she got to do nothing of her own agency. And Nyaan dropped everything about her that could make her interesting and became a "Shuuji-kun" spouting machine.
It's more fun to ship random NPCs from 40-year old shows than these two. There was potential in them, but they blew it, and I just can't give a shit about these characters.

Char is just a symptom on how it is all wrapped up on a layer of UC wank. Most Gundam fans glaze how great Unicorn was because it is UC but no one noticed how it broke the timeline and now it is showing the cracks. Unicorn's weird spawn Narrative made Newtype time-travel canon and now this shit apparently establishes you can travel the "UC Multiverse". Fuck.That.

I love UC but I'm really getting tired on how stagnant they made it. Especially when it keeps beating the Feds vs Zeke dead horse. It's why I started to appreciate Gundam AU's more. I may loathe IBO, but it was at least different, WfM S2 did have problems but at least there wad at least a happy ending.

But hey, at least the next SRWs will be interesting.

Should've been just a story about the three kids on the colony and kept the same tone as the first 6 episodes. I would've been fine with Machu being in love with Shuji if he was anything beyond a walking and talking plot device by actually giving the kids any screentime where they actually bonded.

>>4438181
"I had fun watching it" usually translates to "I had fun shitposting about it". That's the current standard for anime on /a/. The more garbage a show is, the more fun it is.

>>4438195
>My copium will forever be that they just decided to stitch this multiverse nonsense onto the show in the middle of production because I simply cannot believe they accidentally had so many themes.
It feels like they had an idea for a fun what-if UC show, but someone (Anno) came in and turned it into multiverse slop.
This is what killed the show for me, because it misses the point. Turning a what-if alternate timeline into an actual parallel timeline accesible via portals just completely misses the point of what-if stories. They're not supposed to be diegetic, they're supposed to be hypothetical. Tying them with the original canon as part of some grand multiverse feels forced and dorky, something imagined by someone who takes everything literally.

>>4438184
I'm with you. Miorine and Suletta breaking up, spending time alone, changing and finally deciding they want to be together again despite everything made for a wonderful story.

>>4438150
The trick to enjoying Destiny is watching it for the villains. Shinn fucking up his Gundam hero boy arc by getting radicalized, Durandal's whole sad deal and implied relationship with Rau, Talia being a hilariously bad mom, etc.

>>4438190
>char wank
Tbf every Gundam is char wank

>>4438209
>They're not supposed to be diegetic, they're supposed to be hypothetical. Tying them with the original canon as part of some grand multiverse feels forced and dorky, something imagined by someone who takes everything literally.
Absolutely. Like GQuX isn't about a world where Zeon won the war (potentially a good plot hook), it's about the mechanics by which that world was created.

>>4438225
Zeta and CCA depict him as kind of a loser.

KEK, glad I never gave this show a chance no matter how hard people coped. The CEO literally tried fucking with Gwtich, why would anyone think they would allow Yuri ever again? I laugh at those who wasted their time watching gcqucck.

In happier news, new chapter out for Seishun Frontier in two/three days!

>>4438239
Stop thinking every case of not yuri is evil execs
A lot of people just want to do het. I don’t doubt Enokido had het in his mind from the start, given Star Driver and Captain Earth.

>>4438239
>The CEO literally tried fucking with Gwtich
Please stop spreading your fanfiction as true.

>>4438046
I think the first season as a whole was pretty good. It escalated in a logical way with each episode, and Episodes 11 and 12 were the highest point. But it seems like the writers didn't know where to go from there, so we got too much stuff happening and nothing happening simultaneously.
Norea and Sophie both kill themselves in identical terrorists attack so one surviving felt pointless, cool characters like Chuchu never got to do anything important, Guel's adventures on Earth ended up amounting to little, and the biggest mysteries of the show received only vague and unsatisfying answers.
Not even gonna mention the deus-ex-machina ending because I've already done so plenty of times in the past.

>>4438239
I think the CEO really likes yuri since he greenlit gwitch to begin with, he probably had no knowledge of that infamous twitter post, bet you if someone asked him, he'd confirm sulemio are married with no interpretation bullshit.
I'm going to believe in the people who made a yuri anime, not the freaks who made a censorship statement.

>>4438250
>deus-ex-machina ending
Anon the whole show is about Suletta and Eri unlocking new Permet levels and being able to do wilder and wilder shit with them. It's in no way a deus ex machina.

>>4437905
>>4437903
I gave this a shot, any feedback is appreciated!

Miorine: Suletta! Is everything ready?
Suletta: Yeah! Miorine-san!

Ericht: I might not be a MS (mobile suit) that can move anymore but you can't deny that I was one of the mightest when I was in charge

panel 3
Miorine: Your name is Ericht- who can't accomplish anything but accompany me and hitch a ride with me!! Show some appreciation for indulging you!!
Ericht: You're strangling me-
Suletta: Well I'm happy that you've joined Miorine-san and I (heart)

I have... no idea what's happening in the first panel as I don't recognize the mechs.

>>4438242
Thank god. And it was great to see SuleMio week be so successful. I haven't looked through all the new fics, but I enjoyed this series of one-shots.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66585553/chapters/171757819
I especially liked the superhero AU; the Clark Kent/Superman thing really works for Suletta. It's a shame the author doesn't plan to continue.

>>4438253
No, I'm pretty sure you made that up.
What exactly in the show made you think that "atomizing all gundams everywhere" was a real possibility?

>>4438266
Made up what, them unlocking permet levels? That's explicitly why Prospera and Delling had Suletta participate in the duels.

>What exactly in the show made you think that "atomizing all gundams everywhere" was a real possibility?
She doesn't "atomize all gundams everywhere", just the ones she has collected there. If there's a secret vault with extra gundams somewhere, they're totally fine.

Being able to control all permet technology within range is already a pretty wild power. Manipulating permet into destroying machines containing it doesn't feel that different. Pic related is how it's explained in the world guide.

>>4438250
>we got too much stuff happening and nothing happening simultaneously.
100%. The 2nd season's pacing was extremely hamstrung in how the order of events required characters (most importantly, sulemio) to be in certain places. Sulemio couldn't interact until after the first school shooting, because otherwise the betrayal wouldn't happen. However, that ironically drained most of the dramatic tension that had been built up between them because of the splat, which makes the circumstances of the betrayal feel that much more contrived. Suletta then has to be more or less sidelined until Miorine gets shockingly double-crossed by Prospera on Earth. Then the pacing goes into overdrive with the almost comical escalation of stakes that QZ introduces with Eri massacring an entire SAL task force. The SAL superlaser is only introduced as an excuse for Suletta to have her gay newtype jesus moment, which is cool and all, but ultimately rings hollow (The way Benerit was dissolved in order for everyone we cared about to get off scott free was also extremely hand wavy). I love Crippletta, but I feel like they could have put her through the level 10 permet air fryer in an equally personal but lower stakes (in terms of world ending consequences) situation. It's even more of a shame how season 2 was structured and plotted when you consider how well executed season 1 was, but I that's okouchi for you. At least it got a happy ending (and Prospera getting away with everything was extremely based).

>>4438287
>The way Benerit was dissolved in order for everyone we cared about to get off scott free was also extremely hand wavy
I don't think that's fair. Everyone who's still alive gets off scott free except for Shaddiq and Nika, even bastards like Delling, Sarius and especially Elan. There's no justice in that ending.

As for the stakes getting bigger, that's every single Gundam tv show.

The show staff posting nyachu after the final episode did they watch the show at all? I still don't think they're really friends. I know Machu doesn't care about Nyaan.

Make sure to preface any criticisms of gcucks with a "I hate gwitch and it sucks..." or else you're just a yuritard brain dead gwitch stan who only hates gcucks because machu's straight and het won or some bullshit like that.

Man, at least most jp fans are honest about liking gcucks because of the memberberries thrill ride. Why is it that gcucks is treated as the anti-gwitch by western fans it doesn't make sense.

>>4438294
>There's no justice in that ending.
It's almost like that wasn't the point of the ending. Also, Nika doesn't count. She goes to jail and then conveniently gets released when the timeskip catches up with everything. At least Delling and the other execs prolly are gonna be stuck in annoying SAL hearings for the rest of their lives. Regardless it was a very hand wavy and convenient way of resolving the whole SAL/Benerit issue in the ~30 seconds the last episode allowed for that.

>As for the stakes getting bigger, that's every single Gundam tv show.
What are you even trying to say? Most stories (especially sci-fi action series) have escalating stakes. There's a difference between doing it well (like the first season did), and doing it poorly (like the second season did).

>>4438299
They survived and the ending is canonically after the end, so at least I'm getting my fanarts.

>>4438299
Just another Gridman case.

>>4438306
>Why is it that gcucks is treated as the anti-gwitch by western fans
Because those are the only Gundam shows they've watched.

>>4438306
Because het. Literally nothing else.

>>4438306
>as the anti-gwitch by western fans it doesn't make sense
Because GQuuuX came after G-Witch (Technically) and has a female MC. By the next Gundam show i doubt people will even bring up G-Witch to hate on it because there was a more explicit romance, or i don't know.

>>4438313
Probbaly the only silver lining, in the end the hetfags will need to face the fact that Machu and Shuji will never be together

Maybe like any normal teenager that crush will disappear with time

>>4438342
Yeah, even though they say they will unless they pull a Luluco in suplementary material

THE ED is actually what happens after the beach scene in the final episode so maybe Machu and Nyaan got together after all

>>4438354
Nope, both are still chasing Shuji.

>>4438146
>interdimensional jannie
kek I'm going to remember that. gquack was a shitshow though that I get the feeling even the contrarian posting about how at least it's not gwitch isn't going to last a month imo.

>>4438342
Oh, the episode says the GQuuuux has the capabilities to Zekova which is why it told Machu they would meet again. Whether we'll see that or not is a mystery
>>4438354
Machu says she wants to go to Shuji's universe. Don't know what will Nyaan want to do but considering she is still calling out for him I guess she'll tag along since ALMOST DYING BY HIS HAND CLEARLY MEANT NOTHING

>>4438358
Could have sworn het/bi girls like bloodthirsty guys

It's funny how the only cope tr/a/nnies have now to discredit SuleMio is that Machu and Shuji kissed and confessed disregarding how they barely interacted throughout the shjow and Shuji literally disappears leaving Machu alone

Upcoming Comolin x Machu doujin.

This show has literally one job, recast the OG characters and fumbled it. Using Furuya after the controversy feels malicious desu

Will this thread make until this Friday?

>>4438254
Thanks!

>>4438354
Kek.

>>4438186
>>4438202
Who even likes this crap? Are hetfags mentally ill?

>>4438225
Yeah but this show commits the unforgivable sin of trying to redeem him while completely ignoring the following entries that show that it's impossible. The guy is an emotional pit that drags everyone down with him. They even have Challia say as much in the fucking show! So why the hell do they just let him go and think he's gonna be okay now? Sayla says REPEATEDLY during 0079 that her brother is gone and char needs to die, only to then be proven right in the end.

Even worse, they completely strip this universe's lalah of agency and just give her away to char with the promise that he'll "do better". Bleak.

I really like this artist @andiedraws from bluesky, thanks for the rec nee-san!

>>4438393
You gotta admit it is kinda funny. GQuuX is like that unconventional romance you like to eat once in a while. In a sea of shows with regular romance each season, one that doesn't follow the rule might be seen as a special dessert

>>4438407
Because Char has also shown the capacity to be a better person. That’s the point of a “What if”, where here we’re shown the possibility of Char being given less opportunities to make things worse (like getting the Gundam, being whisked away before he killed his sister, and having Lalah not be killed)

>>4438306
They're all low IQ, ad-hoc reactionary/culture war types.

Very very retarded and annoying people.

>>4438469
Is there an animal they haven't been turn into?

Is it me or Miorine feels like a love interest in SD Gundam's character requests? she seems so nice to you.

I still like Machu and Nyaan.

>>4438447
i guess seeing it as a parody could give it some worth for hetfags who have enough self-awareness to acknowledge what they watch on the regular is literal garbage

>>4438529
And I'm filling my folder with all the swimsuit art the next few days.

>>4438549

Machu will forget about Shuji when Nyaan gives her the pad thai.

>>4438550

>>4438552

>>4438553

>>4438554

>>4438556

>>4438551
Pad thai isn't real thai food.

>>4438409
Glad to be of service. Can't wait to see these finished.

"A Story About Buying My Classmate Once A Week" is getting an anime adaption. Kana and Lynn voiced them in the drama cd(?) so here's hoping they stay on.

>>4438679
That would be really funny.

I wish I could be as much as an unhinged yurichad as this artist
https://x.com/dnchuu12/status/1937638638999024015

>>4438529
I can honestly buy that Nyaan's feelings for Machu and Shuji (and even Kycilia) are pretty similar, but Machu is just going to break her heart. Nyaan is doomed to either be a third wheel, or living her life with someone who loves someone else more.

>>4438714
Shush, they're fictional characters with an open ending, they can be whatever I want them to be

>>4438714
She just needs to do the tongue thing Lady Kycilia taught her and Machu won't even remember that hobo's name.

>>4438720
>fictional characters with an open ending, they can be whatever I want them to be
The real “up to interpretation”, huh?

>>4438494
Yeah, I get the feeling that anybody who claims that Char was irredeemable from the start probably either didn't watch Zeta, or didn't understand it.

>still no idol au update

Anyway, is sad that good design and premise are wasted in bad desitions

>>4438778
>good design
The mechs are ugly as shit

>>4438811
I've grown to like them a lot. The HGs look great and I like how dynamic they look and I like how the concave lines flow into hard edges like clay. They also seem very articulate.
https://x.com/Animist_LuaaZ/status/1937463025356931254

>>4438840
They were a mixed bag for me. I thought Gquuuuuux might grow on me, but I could never get past how close it was to Eva. Same with Red Gundam. Zakus were a big miss. Gyan was cool but has the Michaelis problem. I did like the Gelgoog and Guncannons, especially Sayla's. They have kind of a neat construction robot vibe.

I feel like G-Witch's designers did a great job of keeping mobile suit designs to what could reasonably be made into a good HG, so the whole line was good. Gquuuuuux has poseibility but relies on stickers or really detailed painting for color correction. Compared to Aerial which is beautiful right out of the box.

>>4438851
>Michaelis problem
Piloted by a dick?

The important thing is that Haman and Cima probably survived.

>>4438853
Yeah, though Xavier is more lame than a dick. As disappointed as I am with Gquuuuuux I still kind of want to get the Sayla Guncannon and imagine a better show that was going on off-screen. She definitely found a nice girl to be space queen with, right?

>>4438855
They just kinda sweeped Minerva and Garma under the rug didn't they?

>>4438859
As well as the entire Zeon bureaucracy being appointed by the Zabis, who (Gihren at least) would be martyrs after winning the war and dying in a "terrorist incident". But then the same ending with the Zabis basically getting wished away happens in the novel.

>>4438859
I think Char or someone said Garma left the army in episode two, so he's probably chilling with Icelina on Earth. Mineva's probably just doing five-year-old things, since no one cares about her place in the order of succession with so many of the siblings alive.

>>4438858
>She definitely found a nice girl to be space queen with, right?
Yeah, her mav Mirai Yashima.

>>4438778
gundam in a nutshell

>>4438771
That one from the video where ghosts of Char and Amuro seem to be fighting over a woman and another woman comes in to tell them to fuck off she's got dibs?

>>4438939
no

>>4438942
Ah, you mean fanfiction, I remember now. Also sad.

>>4438600
They actually made feel kinda sad for Lady Kycilia in those last moments. What with her lamenting about not having any kids herself and Nyaan wishing Kycilia could have tasted the food she made. But I guess she can't escape getting rockets to the face.

>>4438840
They rely on the busy structure to be interesting instead of strong shapes, especially the gquuuuuux and red gundam. It'll be annoying to build onto it, unlike say the demi trainer where I could easily find space to add more panel lines, cool bits, large decals, battle damage, etc.

>>4438975
So... Is Mineva still alive in this universe? Not that I expect she'd really care enough to fight Sayla/Artesia but like, she was the loose thread in the original gundam too.

>>4439029

>>4438720
>they're fictional characters with an open ending, they can be whatever I want them to be
So it was you!

>>4438679
They voiced the leads in a PV for the LNs. Fingers crossed they keep that casting for the anime.

>>4439056
Most likely. Given her dad still died in GQucks, her mom, Haman and her sister probably all still went into exile together, but likely came back after Zeon won the war, since they had no cause to hide from Federation prosecution, nor start the Neo Zeon movement. Questionable if her mom and Haman's sister lived or not, since they both died pretty soon after the war.

Suppose there is the possibility that Haman could try and like, create a Zabi loyalist faction to oppose Sayla or something, but I doubt it'd be able to catch on against Zeon's Daughter. Conversely there's the possibility of Sayla purging inactive Zabis, like Mineva or Garma, but she doesn't really seem the type (Challia does tho, so never say never).

>>4439120
Source please? I swear I've see this before.

She was an active participant in the Feddie plan to drop Solomon on the Moon colonies, so who knows what kind of a reign of terror she's doing.

How many hours before the chapter 2?

>>4439141
Is that the novel?

>>4439267
Looks like it.

>>4439214

I doubt the Zeon public would have known about Artesia being an EF soldier because she was calling herself Sayla Mass during the One Year War.

>>4439141
No, episode 23.

It was good.

>>4439651
>>4439648
Why is Suletta so gay

>>4439648
I love that the panel showing her thinking back on the day is literally just her and Miorine. If GQuuuuuuX is a fanfic written by old otaku, Seishun Frontier feels like a fanfic written by Suletta.

>>4439650
That's twice now that Suletta has held out her hand, while Miorine has refused to take it...

Nice to see Dr. Cardo again too.

>>4439674
Pretty girl who stands up for her is alluring.

>>4439686
>Seishun Frontier feels like a fanfic written by Suletta.
Written by Sulemiofags who wanted to see some slowburn.

So the next time Miorine will take her hand?

I like how Suletta is only blushes when there's Miorine

>>4439647
>Living with Granny
>Miorine down bad already
>Chuchu introduced doing a slav squat
Great 2nd chapter

>>4439697
With Chu-Chu's entrance... Did she drive off the police or is the police after her?

Also Miorine already taking her strong stance on Suletta here.

They really swapped in youth frontier.

Someone pointed out that Suletta is facing the wrong direction. Good detail.

>>4439604
Could've been a nice 3 for 3, but even them being as just friends felt so shallow as there was very little interaction between the 3 before the final battle.

>>4439705
>Men

>>4439707
Y'know, analyzing staff fanart, some comments from the writer, plus his general body of work, one could present a case that, had GQucks had more time to tell its story in a longer format, they might have actually been the legitimate endgame.

But with what shallow characters we got in this rushed single season, I don't really feel like we actually missed out on anything, nor have any desire for that theoretical longer show.

>>4439720
The description is important, though.

>>4439647
A lil slow in this one, kinda thought it'd speedrun some set ups as a fan-oriented AU, but it's playing out like an original romcom serialization. Also the lazy bald background characters is so noticable in many panels lol. Not a great artist or just too rushed to do monthly? Sulemio good as always. Cute Felsi.

I'm so glad we are back to actual yuri and can't wait for gcucks to disappear from the timeline entirely

Eri confirmed tomboy, yes!

>>4439647
I love that she's living with Cardo who she never even met in the show. It's sweet.

>>4439722
It's against the rules, but it's really based.

>>4439727
Yes.

>>4439740
How old are they again? If Suletta is 17 Eri is 23?

>>4439727
Confirmed how? Some detail besides the bike(?) thing from last month?

>>4439762
Cardo calls her tomboy

If Cardo is alive then Mio's mom can be too

>>4439865
What’s wrong with the firat image you quoted? It’s Suletta and Miorine

>>4439740
Suletta would 100% let herself cucked by Eri

>>4439869
I wonder about that. I feel like Miorine would have a different charactisation if she were still alive, but it would be great to get more about her than the anime gave us.

>>4439865
It's technically against the rules but SuleMio being given special treatment in merch is significant.

Who will be the one to tell Suletta that gay marriage is legal in Alaska?

>>4439869
How did she die again? I forgot

>>4439888
Disney mom syndrome

>>4439887
Eri's wife.

>>4439888
Space sickness or some illness I guess

>>4439888
Went to buy cigarettes and never returned.

What is Prospera's motivation if Cardo is alive? Did Delling shit down their departament and got everyone fired?

>>4439919
She just thought it would be funny if he had to watch his daughter turn gay.

>>4439887
It's set in the near future so it might not be desu

>>4439919
Delling was homophobic to her lesbian friends so when she found out he had a daughter her younger daughters age she decided to have Suletta make miorine gay

>>4439919
Maybe she isn't a villain or even planning anything.

>>4439469
>>4439834
Ahem

>>4439940
Isn't it a SoL manga? If so I wouldn't be surprised if they turned down the drama and made everything way more innocuous.

It doesn't make sense for Mio act emo if her mom is alive

>>4439947
season 2 was a much bigger disappointment in birdie wing's case.

I'm still amazed that in the same season Sunrise went full coward with the silly no pressure golf show and full lesbian marriage in the Gundam show.

>>4439992
I'm still wondering why their last name isn't Samaya

>>4440024
Prospera and the kids took her new wife's name.

>>4440024
Because they don't want to take out their witch from Mercury title.

>>4440093
I know that. I meant the in universe explanation for that.

>>4440036
If Notrette's maiden name was Mercury, we'd solve two mysteries at once.

Don't worry Elnora, you are still Miomio's final boss.

Great job on a cute doujin. A few corrections:

008, last panel, Miorine's bubble, not Suletta's: sleep over > sleepover
009, the ad: Phermones > Pheromones
019, first panel third bubble: under it's spell > under its spell
024, third line: it's final episode > its final episode
025, second bubble: If I do then I'll say > If I do I'll tell you

Thanks. I have a real bad habit of just shoving apostrophes everywhere, same with commas.

>>4440660
It's a really common mistake, but there were no major problems. You did a great job.

If you want an easy way to check, try replacing it's/its in the sentence with she's/her (or he's/his). If the new form has no apostrophe, your it form shouldn't have one either.

So like
under it's/its spell > under her spell, no apostrophe.
It's/its late > She's late, use apostrophe.

>>4440673
This one's adorable.

Both on first page:
Fourth panel: Should be some-where, though it's an awkward word to fit there.
Last panel: Should be to-geth-er.

No notes otherwise. Good job!

Each of Suletta's uses of "friend" on the first page should be in bold or a larger font like the original, otherwise looks good. Thanks for your work!

Raw power of SuleMio.

>>4440852
So precious.

Are the mean girls supposed to be the spray paint bullies? There's a resemblance but their hair is different.

>>4440857
Also precious.

Considering the Groom/Bride system doesn't exist, how is the romance going to be handled? I really doubt we'll have something explicit, like episodes 11 and 17 (24?), so I wonder how they'll show they like each other in that way. Miorine is refusing to be Suletta's friend (Chuchu & Co. will fill that role), so any gay interaction between them can't be labeled as "gals being pals".

The only thing I'm sure is Miorine will say she will stay in school, and what she wants to do is fill Suletta's list. Maybe the manga will end with a new list, the "With Miorine-san to-do list".

>>4440888
I find too cute the fact Suletta added "with a friend" with Miorine in mind. I feel the 'friend' thing is just Suletta being clumsy; I hope her to realise she doesn't have to be Miorine's friend to hang out with her and do stuff together.

>>4440924
On one hand this seems to be a slice of life series first and foremost, so I'm not expecting a lot of romantic developments. At the same time though, this chapter really made me feel that the author is someone that loved G-Witch. I'm thinking it'll stay in the high subtext range; probably no engagements, kisses, or overt confessions, but a lot of Suletta and Miorine's bond being portrayed as special, and different from than their friendships with the Earth House kids.

I think this puts the boys in similar positions. Their feelings obviously can't be written as above SuleMio, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're less romantically coded. Miorine will get jealous of Elan, but Suletta will actually just want to be his friend.

>>4440852
ENTER I wasn't very enthusiastic after the first chapter, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how this one introduced a similar conflict without going for a transparent 1-to-1 duel analog. I did not expect Mio to brute force through the issue with the power of A5 wagyu. Hope it keeps up the momentum.

>>4440924
>Considering the Groom/Bride system doesn't exist, how is the romance going to be handled?
We still haven't seen what's up with that white uniform thing and Miorine is still wants to quit the school.

>>4440929
I hope she actually gets to do something this time.

>>4440930
I don't buy Miorine being willing to make nice with Guel if there were a holder system here. But I feel like there's something significant about it we don't know yet, because if it's just a top student thing, there's no reason for Suletta to pursue it, and why focus on it at all?

I'm kind of hoping the academic honors are just cover for the reigning Asticassia underground motorcycle racing champion. Mio needs to see cool Suletta too.

>>4440956
If it refers to underground drag scooter racing I'd be down for that. I want to see Suletta scooter drift like she did in episode 13.


>>4440857
Truly the power of SuleMio

>Miorine is refusing to be Suletta's friend

Nah, Miomio's just being tsundere. They're friends now. In yuri-related stuff, being friends with someone isn't the opposite of being lovers. Rather, love tends to grow out of friendship.

At this point the aerial can either be a bike or a sybian

>>4441032

Maybe Suletta Alaska just happens to be an academic genius and can beat Guel effortlessly?

>>4441048
Aerial is highly likely a motorcycle. They go to a school of technology.
I'm thinking instead of duels, they build and race motorcycles and Guel is the fastest guy in the school.

>>4441077
I can't wait for Aerial's sidecar to detatch and start shooting beams. Or for Miorine to find her calling in starting a company that makes some kind of ambulance motorcycle.

Short but interesting take on G-Witch and Youth Frontier. You can get the gist of it through machine translation. The author compares it to how G Gundam was considered heretical at the time, but is now considered a classic because it stuck to its uniqueness. They claims that G-Witch's mistake in season 2 was expanding on traditional Gundam elements of war and conspiracy instead of keeping things grounded in Suletta and Miorine's relationship, and on the personal stakes of the duels, and suggest that Youth Frontier might turn out to be a version of the story that fulfills season 1's promise.

I don't agree with a lot of what the author says, but it's interesting to see how it differs from opinions in the west. I had a cynical view of Youth Frontier after the first chapter, and assumed it would be a fun but unambitious and unrisky take on the characters, and it's heartening to see Japanese readers take an opposite perspective; that it will be a story that can put as much time as it needs into their romance.

>>4440852
Gee Suletta Alaska, how come your mom lets you have FOUR scanalator groups?

>>4441159
>They claims that G-Witch's mistake in season 2 was expanding on traditional Gundam elements of war and conspiracy instead of keeping things grounded in Suletta and Miorine's relationship
One of the most common criticisms I've seen, and I agree with it too.
They never should have left the school, having the students duel as an extension of different parts of the Benerit Group fighting was all they needed, maybe the terrorists from Earth plot could have been kept in to add some legitimate danger and a real space battle, but it should have never become the main focus.

>>4441159
Nah, the loss of innocence and its aftermath in S2 is what makes the romance and gives GWitch the right to call itself Gundam. Youth Frontier is fine as a spinoff and seems to have a decent amount of thought put into it, but it'd be sad if mainline Gundam just turned into cute girls doing cute things.

>>4441159
Yeah the show should have focused more on sulemio. That was season 2 mistake.
>>4441210
Agreed
>>4441236
Disagreed

>>4441236
> gives GWitch the right to call itself Gundam
Gwitch didn't have to be just another gundam. it was fine being it's own thing

>>4441159
S2's mistake was having extremely awkward and rushed pacing due to some ill-advised narrative decisions (mainly the betrayal), as well as just generally biting off more than it could chew. All the war and conspiracy stuff was simmering in the background until plant quetta, which was the perfect launch point to expand the scope of the show (hence all the deaths and the splat). They just executed it very poorly.

>suggest that Youth Frontier might turn out to be a version of the story that fulfills season 1's promise.
It honestly makes me sad that there are people who actually might believe this (not saying that you do necessarily), because it suggests that the only thing that they think season 1 had going for it was sulemio's relationship. Season 1 wasn't just a nice seasonal yuri romance. It was a damn good show on all fronts. For heaven's sake, Prospera, who stole the show every time she was on-screen, hasn't even shown up, and, when she does, will almost certainly deviate a bunch from her character in the show. I will say that I'm a lot more optimistic after chapter 2 than I was after chapter 1. However, at the end of the day, it's still just a sol high school spin-off, and I'm tempering my expectations accordingly.

>>4441281
The show is sulemio and sulemio is the show. It shouldn't try to be anything else

>>4441286
That doesn't meant it shouldn't have handled its plot points in a better way. A story is more than just its focus, it's the small details the ones that matter the most.

>>4440928
>At the same time though, this chapter really made me feel that the author is someone that loved G-Witch. I'm thinking it'll stay in the high subtext range;
Actually Hidasake worked in the setting; Okouchi mentioned him in an interview. It will be a shame if the romance isn't explicit like in the show. Though, we might have a scene like the one in episode 11, Miorine saying she wants to stay at school with Suletta because she's having so much fun with her. The real deal is if it's going to be gay with hugs and stuff.

>>4441032
I know, I simply don't want them to be portrayed as just "two very good super best friends". I hope Suletta to realise she wants to be more than just Miorine's very best friend.

>>4440930
It would be funny the manga ending with Miorine saying “By the way, the holder will marry me”.

>>4441092
Fuck off and go take your meds.

>>4441286
Bullshit, the character writing across the board is great and, while I hate a lot of the discourse surrounding the guys, it's clear to see that those character relationships were what was elevating the show beyond just cgdct.

>>4441286
In season 1 a lot of Sulemio's development was also part of Suletta's relationship with other characters including the guys (mainly El4n), where it shifted to focus on Miorine and hers own. By no means am I disagreeing with you, this is the story of two female protagonists and their relationship. Without some of the guys though we wouldn't have seen jealous Miorine

Rings so powerful they glow in the dark

JP twitter celebrating two years since the last episode aired as SuleMio's second wedding anniversary.

>>4441635

I just found out that the friendship rings are supposed to be on your index finger (japan even know this) or any fingers except the left ring finger. Now the trolls can finally shut up.

>>4441651
Anon, no one who argues matching rings on left ring fingers means friendship is arguing in good faith. You're not going to get them to stop using evidence.

Is Miorine Japan even more homosexual than Miorine Prime? The original had a pretty good self-interested reason to go back for Suletta in episode two, but this one's buying wagyu beef and being nice to Guel just because Suletta gave her an onigiri.

With MioPrime we learned about the holder system and it's consequences pretty quickly, so the way she was treated by others and her inability to trust anyone until Suletta came along made sense. I'm really eager to find out what caused her disconnection here. She was able to be reasonably cordial with the Jeturks, so I feel like we're left asking, "well why wouldn't she make any friends until now?"

>>4441669
>>4441670
Miorine should definitely be the one with the lewder fantasies.

>>4441681
You can't really call Bandai's statement an evidence.

>>4441691
We still haven't seen Aerial and how Suletta got that white uniform.

Technically the episode hasn't aired yet, in about 3 hours. Anyway, it's been almost 2 years ever since they got married—and this thread exploded—, how are yo/u/ doing?

>>4441768
Especially after Kobayashi's final statement.

>>4441873
The brainrot hasn't ended, I really do think about the two of them everyday. It makes me smile thinking about how in love they are.

Should the next OP feature Youth Frontier or Sulemio 2 year anniversary? If anything, there's still plenty of staff art from 2023.

>>4441879
I don't know what's so good or special about them, but they've been in my brain for 2 years and it's concerning.

This could be the OP
