One of them is Witch Watch. It's been fun, but I don't think it's better than Gundam GQuuuuuux. The other is Kowloon Generic Romance. TBH I've only watched a few episodes of it; it seems like a good story but right now I'm debating between continuing the show or switching to the manga since I've heard the anime is skipping a bunch of stuff.

I've heard Apocalypse Hotel is good. Hopefully I'll find the time to give it a look soon.

It's crazy to me that Gundam GQuuuuuux didn't even make the list. Out of the three shows I'm watching this season it by far is my favorite. I guess people must be put off by it being part of a bigger franchise; I'll admit some parts might make less sense to someone who hasn't seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

I know they were roommates and all but it didn’t seem like they ever let their guard down around the other

Garma sure did eventually lmao

But then again people will ship characters just for standing next to each other so I guess I shouldn’t try to find logic in it.

Yes, and Char is half of one of the most classic yaoi ships so naturally people expect his relationships to move 3x faster.

Really though what I've noticed is that anime fans will basically take whichever two characters have the most screen time together and ship them no matter what. See: Deku x Bakugo.

I don’t understand charma

Have you seen or read Gundam the Origin? They spend a lot of time together there.

I love reading this guy's words. It's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect the writer of Chainsaw Man to write and that's wonderful.

Finished reading Fullmetal Alchemist this week, and I've got to say reading that climax to the soundtrack of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was a 10/10 experience. What a great time.

Since I finished one long series I decided to start another. I've had all 28 volumes of the Japanese edition of Kaguya-sama: Love is War on my shelf for over a year now, but I've been too afraid to start it - until now! Anyways, turns out my fear was well-justified.

POV: you thought you were ready for Kaguya-sama's vocab just because you've read a few other seinen manga before Kaguya saying 「お可愛いことですわね」 or "how cute" while looking down at the reader

So that's been fun. Been learning all sorts of interesting words like 潮騒 (roar of the sea waves), or 純愛 (pure love), or 輪廻 (cycle of death and rebirth). The vocab shown off here makes Fullmetal Alchemist look simple (it wasn't) by comparison.

Blue Box also had a nice chapter this week, so that's been fun. I don't like it quite as much as Kaguya-sama: Love is War, but it's still consistently been one of my favorite love stories in manga. It might be the best shounen love story I've seen, though Dandadan also competes pretty hard! We'll have to see where both of them go from here.

Speaking of Dandadan, it's currently in the part of the arc where lots of stuff is happening and everything is absolutely insane. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that all gets resolved.

It's crazy how low-res the images often are even when you pay for digital manga from the official source. I know they have higher-res images because the print version is sharper!

I don't know how I missed it, but you're right. She definitely said it was a secret plan for just two people. She also says something about a rendezvous though, so maybe they'll temporarily split up and take separate paths to Earth or something like that. Could just be a rendezvous of the two people mentioned earlier though.

I feel bad for Nyaan, she didn’t deserve to get yelled at by Machu

I know, right? Hopefully she gets an awkward apology now that Machu is talking with her again.

and I’m worried she’ll die or get left behind in space when Machu and Shuji go to Earth

Maybe. I don't think it'll happen though; it seems like Machu is intent on getting her involved in the plan. It's not like Machu and Shuji can just fly to earth in their mobile suits anyways, so there's no reason to assume seating is limited. It also seems like Nyaan is too important of a character to be split from the party at this point. She's in the ED and everything! Not even Shuji is in the ED! If she stayed behind while the other two went to earth I don't know how she'd get her screentime in.

Didn't expect that I'd see Bask today!

As for whether that inexperienced pilot could take on Challia if necessary: I have my doubts lol.

Would've been nice to have spent a bit more time with lighting and posing. I feel like there's a lot of cool potential for posing 2 kits together but in practice I have trouble actually making it look good.

Took some posing inspiration from the statue of the man fighting four babies in Vigeland Park. The SD-EX kits are:

  • Gundam Unicorn
  • Gundam Barbatos Rex
  • Gundam Exia
  • Gundam 00
