The scene with guels dad still bothers me
for 12 episodes this guy was a schemer who would never get his own hands dirty when he could do it through someone else, then we're supposed to accept that he will just blindly jump into a mobile suit in an active engagement? It just felt complelty against his characterisation to that point and was just to brute force the scene of guel killing him.
They even threw in the last second line of "this is how i climbed the ladder" to try and justify it, i think even the writers knew at that point it didnt really make sense
Vim is the guy who planned to blow up Delling in the first episode and had his finger right over the remote. I don't think that's a subtle way of killing people, you'd hire someone discretly and never look back. He also didn't expect to be fucked over by Shaddiq, and he might have been the most experienced Pilot to increase their chances of survival because of that unexpected double-cross, he seemed real tilted about it. Guel being a gung-ho pilot might come from his father before he had to yield to corporate work and kneeling to his sponsors.The scene with guels dad still bothers me

I knew Prospera wasn't a good person but I wasn't expecting her to be Frank Fontaine.
That was the end of the first cour right?
I think this is too much big brain theory. Suletta shows up in the series with a list of things she wants to do. She has clearly had a very sheltered life before she came to the school. She's just a huge Mama's girl that she'll listen to her even if what she says is wrong. Considering how the entire show seems to be how the parents use their kids for their own gain, it makes sense on a thematic level.
Otherwise, it seems that the other earthian witchesAre more advanced than Elan-3, which makes you wonder on just how much data Prospera has given them.
Mio is surprised at the ending, but I'm not sure what else she was expecting. Suletta looks happy because she managed to save her. Her being annoyed at her smiling after she killed someone is fair game, but if Suletta hadn't have done that her dad or her would have been shot to death. Using a beam weapon at that distance probably would've killed them as well so Suletta did the only thing she could. Aeriel would have probably told her that was the only way as well.
Mio will get over it for sure, but now she's going to see just how powerful and evil Mobile Suits are which hopefully pushes her to push towards the life saving tech even more.
I don't think we are ignoring that detail regarding Delling's wife. It has been telegraphed pretty early that Mio's mom died in something tragic. That was kind of the reason Delling was a bit distant. But he still looked after Mio because of their promise.So uh, BTW, it seems like we're all ignoring something else of note
It seemed to me like Delling was pretty directly saying that Mio's mom was killed in some previous violent incident.
Also, re; the ending scene, it seems like y'all never heard of Adrenaline.
In any case, color me surprised that they basically gave the answer as to the whole deal with "Earthians vs Spacians" and basically directly confirmed the hypothesis about it being "The Elon Musk-types fucked up Earth with their Consumption and then fled to their Mars Colony/There is a 'Planet B' when you're Rich"
In any case, I find it hilarious that cased-rounds is such a big deal for "pollution" when they're blowing up and scrapping several-ton war machines. IDK about you but I'm pretty sure mangling a tank is going to leave behind significantly more Space Trash than conventional bullets.
Or maybe its as simple as putting young kids into the cockpit because of their developing brains, the earth witches may have also started young but maybe not as young as Ericht from the prologue.The numbered Elan seem to be oprhans that can get prepared for the job but how young they were for this is not clear. I am not sure what they get implanted with but it looks like the permet stuff that's like a psycho-frame analogue. There must be something in Gundams themselves that can be done to eliminate the risk like with Aerial, and then we get the theories about ghosts in the machine and that being how it can do it. Suletta is special in some way but we'll see how that whole mystery turns out.Thanks for articulating what I was getting at. This point is what I most curious about. Is the solution something as simple as gender (men can't pilot, and women can) or is there some genetic engineering taking place? It doesn't appear to be limited to location of birth, so I'm hoping mystery pans out.
Underappreciated post.
Holy fuck this callback I'm screaming

Also this one to a lesser extent

It doesn't look like there's any news on this yet.When can I buy the OST? Good God the music during Aerials reintroduction and the rifle blast gave me full body chills

There is a 2-song EP out on digital services, but the full release isn't listed anywhere. It might be waiting until after the second cour.

Bright Noa- Slapping pilots since 79.![]()
Open handed slaps once again proving to be the most influential thing in the overall Gundam mythos.
Bright Noa would be proud.

I was not aware of this video! Thanks!Thats a bummer. I had no idea those two tracks were up on Spotify so thats amazing! I've been watching the live orchestra version on YouTube all this time.
Gundams get happy endings at the endgod no, the disaster lesbians >_<
I just want a happy ending, damnit.
Quite often pyrrhic tho. Kamile got out ok tho albeit not in his own show. Judah, Domon, and Heero too.
I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
I've been thinking this for a while but I can't help but think back to the theory that Aerial is Ericht and Suletta is an enhanced person made to look like Ericht (either a clone or they were someone else and were changed like Elan No. 4). Having a trigger phrase built in during whichever process would make a ton of sense.
Alternatively they really are Ericht and Prospera being Mom of the Year did extensive "enhancements" to her, body and mind.

Its not Queer BaitingSo....I watched the 1st episode today and loved it. Trying to be the less spoilerer possible, can someone tell me if it's queer baiting?? Or like...does it go to a good explanation?
Suletta is definitely attached to Miorene. So it's not baiting but I have no idea how it's going to end up.So....I watched the 1st episode today and loved it. Trying to be the less spoilerer possible, can someone tell me if it's queer baiting?? Or like...does it go to a good explanation?

The Prologue is a necessary watch just in case you both skipped it.I watched episode 1. Really like it so far. First, please let it not be yuri bait and second, please don't end it with the usual trope that happens a lot with lgbtq+ drama shows and movies.
