"Miss Miorine! Please watch this!"

もう付き合っちゃえよ…… #スレミオ

When you chilling with bro but realize it's 5pm on a Sunday

Hug your loved ones tight. Tell them you love them. Whether they are human, or smaller and fuzzy. Please let them know they are loved...

The Gundam novels are a great way to really dive more into the politics and mindset of the characters, more so than the anime ever could. For example, you learn about Amuro’s BDSM fetish caused by his lack of maternal figure

It is not the only time in this book where Amuro brings up apartheid

Remembering that time in the Char’s Counterattack novel when Amuro brings up apartheid in South Africa

15 year old Amuro in the cockpit, going over the instruction manual once again: “Ahh okay so this is how you manage to to use your shield, neat!” Average Zeon grunt:

When I look at the kiss at the end of the series, I’m not thinking “wow, so this is the endgame ship,” but rather that the point of the scene is that it’s the first time Shuji sees humanity, when he embraces love instead of obsession, the Newtype ideal of being connected to one another in harmony

A GQuuuuuuX opinion: I personally don’t care that we didn’t get a definitive answer for who/what Shuji is because his narrative role is clear: a vessel to project Newtype ideals onto but in the end, a reinforcement of the false belief that the secret to peace for Newtypes is continuous violence

There’s a long, 30+ page interview between Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino theoretically about Char’s Counterattack that goes off the rails into so many places. It’s mainly either Anno gushing about how much he loves Gundam to a self critical Tomino, or Tomino going off about wild stuff like this

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is now streaming on Max. See which other movies just got added to Max: bit.ly/MaxJuly25

The situation on White Base is like. You're on a plane that's about to crash, pilots are out of commission, and some teenager is like "I have 500 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator".................yeah sure get him up here

cleaning this up in a frenzy

Drew Judith to cheer myself up

Just so everyone over here can make sense of me reposting wildly different takes on GQuuuuuuX & it's ending- it's a 6/10 for me but it's a REALLY interesting 6/10. Like I truly believe that everything that everyone has to say about it has a bit of truth to it regardless of your overall opinion

challia wearing char’s mask at the end is fucking funny as shit but also their relationship dynamic turning into “in being obsessed with the image of you for years I’ve turned myself into you and made you obsolete, and I refuse to let you be that you again” is kind of insanely cooking actually

Not quite how I expected it to play out but this one prediction did come true! Someone even pointed out that Machu's toenails are painted red in the epilogue; you can see her painting them in the ED. Regardless of how you see their relationship, they are living together!

That's the only thing he says to him: he explains his plan on how to destroy Solomon, only to let Solomon fall instead. This small element of the writing, present in the prologue, wouldn't have been relevant considering Kycilia's own plan without Challia discovering Char's. (2/2)

(spoilers) On Char, Challia, Solomon and Nihilism: Challia attacking Char was fated and foreshadowed when this happened. The trick is that Char didn't tell his intentions to Challia, which was already a betrayal in itself. This HAD to be answered in the rest of the show. (1/2)

お祭りがおわってしまった　めっちゃたのしかった #ジークアクス　#GQuuuuuuX

Killing myself for this scene. Thank you.

#tome gquuuuuux is a story about desire/obsession/longing (pretend there is a word in english for a combination of the 3) and a bunch of people who will do any crazy shit for that so when you put it like this it did just what it was supposed to

hathaway doesn’t count because it has a novel and we’re one entry into a trilogy WHERE IS HATH 2 SUNRISE

i’m so gonna get cancelled but gquuuuuux is one of the better anime original gundams in the past 10 years. i’m a IBO s2 defender but objectively it was Not Great. whatever the hell half of gwitch was, and seed freedom being seed freedom

ありがとうGQuuuuuuX🌹 #GQuuuuuux

gquuuux is about the dangers of falling for a they/he ambient noise dj

#GQuuuuuuX #ジークアクス BS11も放送終了。すごく楽しめた半年でした。

gqux is the most peakslop anime of the year imo

this video is gonna make me throw up

Its acceptance of internal contradictions and acceptance of negatives are too heavy I think for its thematic points to stand, unintentionally ending up saying that to have your life destroyed by nostalgia can be a happy ending, no matter the abuse, so long as you still have nostalgia to seek out.

But then in the end it had her escape the brothel on her own AND had the man come and find her in a way that her visions had said wouldnt happen (after she left the brothel). AND it on a real level, hired toru furuya, a man who physically and sexually abused a partner through her nostalgia for him.

Like, 1- it had a plotline about an abused woman choosing to stay in a military slave brothel to wait for the man of her vision, an officer of that military, to come rescue her, because his rescue in her visions was good, causing her to turn away from a new rescue that she doesnt have nostalgia for.

And its attempts to talk about nostalgia/the idea of what could be but is not now, while *having fun with* 0079 nostalgia itself on a meta level, leaves everything *very very confused* in a "have its cake and eat it too" kinda way. Like its trying to go Kill La Kill and "display what you critique"

Undoubtedly yes because people will call anything (word)slop if it dares to have any kind of theme

this is not in any way a dig at turn a, and I do think turn a did this better than GQUX did tbh, but I sometimes wonder if turn a came out today would people be calling it nostalgiaslop for its central mechanic

“people will pog at char and big zam, put char and big zam in.” i get why there’s a reflexive instinct to like recoil from any “reference to the original media” especially with how overdone the UC OYW story can be but I dunno I thought that part was kinda interesting

it seemed like it was doing those two things along with introducing a cast of current protagonists of the timeline that was created who could then interact with it. balancing all 3 of those is a tall order and I think it’s up for debate how successful it was at that, but I think it’s more than just

I think GQUX may kinda be better understood to be like. a sort of adaptation of Gihren’s Greed, both in terms of the material of those games (with multiple possible endings and stuff) and the game-mechanic concept (the idea of taking an existing story and getting alternate endings over and over)

one big critique of GQUX that I don’t agree with is the idea that it’s nostalgiaslop for nostalgiaslop’s sake. I think it was trying to do meta, and stuff like making characters repeat each others’ poses and fates and stuff was mobilized on purpose for more than just pogging at. & that interests me!

The convo Machu had with Lalah like, 3 episodes ago or so kinda sealed the deal for any of the original characters from this show having any sort of, well anything, outside of being vehicles to more 0079 nostalgia. Shuji in the span of this finale somehow just became a plot device for Lalah lmao.

basically. by ep 11 (many could argue earlier) the show abandoned any pretense of being about anything besides reflection on 0079, but not even as textual commentary, just metacommentary, and not even in a novel way, since gundam has been doing this since ... zeta, which did not throw out text

shuji are caged by the devotion of girls like lalah and machu to them. not looking good!

gundam voiced explicitly by the dude who was kicked out for abusing his pregnant wife" is already pretty questionable but its made even worse by how there's wink and nudge acknowledgments of the constant misogyny in this setting only to present it as the idea that guys like char and
