Maaaaaaaaan…

So far, I’ve been content to let Tsurumaki’s pace carry me, but unlike FLCL which kinda had no expectations placed upon the viewer and the intended viewing experience was to just go with the flow, GQX is building upon decades of narrative and lore that at this point are kinda essential for context, so as of right now even I’m starting to feel how crazy fast we’re hitting plot beats out here.

I mean, the entire episode is about Lalah Sune, who she is as a character and what she represents thematically to the entire series, but if you haven’t seen OG Gundam thru Char’s Counterattack (because her relationship with Amuro and Char is an important aspect of her character) her appearance here is just going to be a weird catalyst for Machu’s character growth and probably very confusing.

She looks great in GQX’s animation style tho

But having said that, doing The Man in the High Castle with UC0079 Gundam is so insanely ballsy and ambitious, I’m down for the ride.

    “then everyone space magic exploded the end”

    Space magic exploding is a huge part of Tomino shows, too. Just look at Space Runaway Ideon (which inspired Anno to do it with NGE) and Turn A Gundam.
