I'm way too into Gundam Neva | She/Her

[rdmaaron]

Honestly, what I wouldn't give to go back and experience G-Witch for the first time as it was airing again. The amount of hype I experienced waking up every Sunday and rushing to watch every episode before getting spoiled, felt like I was a damn kid again. And getting to see the excitement from the fans, both the old and new week to week. It was the most electrified the fanbase had been in years.

Really hope the new series can capture that energy again, but G-Witch might really have been a lightning in the bottle-type situation.

Hi followers, friends, and misc. people - Below the cut is personal life events that involve the loss of life

My wife was killed in a car accident just a couple months ago. She was a wonderful person, someone who blessed anyone who touched her life. Shortly after her death I started to hear from her friends about how she was a guiding light for them, someone that they found to be inspiring, comforting, a warm light in the darkest parts of their lives.

Since this is a Gundam blog I'm going to share something relevant to both my wife and Gundam.

I was (and am) a huge fan of Gundam. She - on the other hand - was not. Outside of Evangelion, she found mecha anime to be generally uninteresting. I asked her to watch MSG with me and she was hesitant. Eventually I asked her "Will you watch Gundam Thunderbolt with me? If you don't like it then I'll never ask you to watch Gundam with me again." She begrudgingly agreed.

Can you guess what happened, dear friends and followers?

She watched Thunderbolt with me and immediately fell in love. We immediately started to burn through every piece Universal Century anime that we had access to. We watched MSG, 8th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Zeta, ZZ Gundam, Counter Attack, F91, etc. We got to episode 13 of Victory Gundam.

When Witch From Mercury came out, we were so excited. We watched every episode every Sunday. She's what drove me to start this blog (though of course at a certain point I fell off with this). We got the Hots and Cool keychains. She took Hots and I took Cool. My Cool now sits in a memorial box of her stuff while Hots was on her bag, in her car, when she died - and is still being held by the police while they continue their investigation. I had been keeping Cool on my DSLR.

She was - is - such a wonderful and caring woman. Everyone we have ever known has come out of the woodwork to talk about how special she was to them, how she helped them through dark times, how caring and compassionate she was.

She is someone who deserves to be remembered. She loved anime, she cared so much for nature (and especially pollinators), she cared deeply for her friends and those who were close to her, she was a wonderful creative. She had such incredible stories and made incredible hand drawn art for the ttrpgs that I published. She worked hard to improve her life and benefit the lives of those around her that she cared about.

If you have the resources, please donate to a local charity that benefits nature and pollinators. If you have the mental space, please keep her and her family in your thoughts.

She was - and still is - the most important person in my life.

Thank you for reading, fellow Gundam fans.

I am/was trying to get my best friend into Gundam and I was getting myself worked up over like "What's the best Gundam to introduce her to?? ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡" and I finally just said fuck it and we watched the first three episodes of G Witch and she loves it <3

[sulettaofficial]

Just a heads up for some G Witch viewers <3

Considering how some people felt that the end of ep. 12 was a bit much I wanted to give everyone a CW for the latest episode.

Obvi, spoilers so it's under the cut

There's a fight scene that happens on earth that results in the death of a - civilian - child. So CW Child death. There's also a decent amount of blood as well. The kid's death comes from a building collapse (as opposed to something like an execution).

Cour 2 of G Witch is absolutely kicking things off with the violence. For new Gundam viewers this is...I mean maybe not 100% the norm (at least with the intensity?), but it's definitely following a trend with later Gundam series and I expect things to continue on this trajectory. This is just based on my viewing of Iron-Blooded Orphans and how G Witch has been going so far. Gundam has always used child soldiers as a theme and you'll generally find death of Youths in some capacity, but things have become more graphic to some extent. Imo this is good as the main point of Gundam is "War Bad" and graphic deaths help to like. Illustrate that and I'm not a fan of pulling punches, especially around this topic.

Aerial Permet level 10 leaks

Theorycrafting time, I guess

More ep. 14 spoilers, I guess <3

Okay, I guess it's being foreshadowed that Miroine is going to be taking a larger role in Delling's company/the Benerit group under Propsera's manipulation with Project Quiet Zero. I am chronically unaware (so don't make fun of me) but...Prospera working with Shaddiq to takeover Benerit group??? Dawn of Fold controlled opposition??? Maybe???

Okay anyways Eri posting part 2

In the prologue Prospera didn't seem clinically evil, so I'm guessing she came up with everything while hanging out on Mercury, hiding from everyone. Makes sense, yes fine. But Eri though, I'm guessing that Eri wasn't just inserted directly into the Gundam for nefarious purposes, instead I'm guessing that Eri likely sustained some amount of damage/harm/curse from using Lfrith (I mean she was a child, so I imagine that she's more susceptible to Permet connections/scores, even if they're low). So, Prospera and Eri escape to Mercury. Sometime after, likely a few months??? Lets say??? Or maybe even just immediately. Eri begins to decline in health because of her connection to Lfrith. But, because Eri was able to make that call to Layer 33 (and Prospera is such a good Gundam mechanic uwu), she's able to find a way to stuff Eri's soul/consciousness/whatever into Lfrith. Hell maybe it just happens, like on their way to Mercury Eri just dies but being connected to Layer 33 she just slips into Lfrith. After this, Prospera does the whole "Enhanced Person" thing and creates Suletta on Mercury. There's like a 4 year gap between the prologue and when Suletta would have been born/made, right? ("Events that happened 21 years ago" + Suletta being 17.)

Anyways, the TL;DR is that I think Eri was shoved into Lfrith in a desperate attempt to preserve her, and during that 4 year period on Mercury, she hatched an ~ evil scheme ~ to do a thing, at which point she converted Lfrith to Aerial and created Suletta.

ALRIGHT GUNDAM SPOILERS

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON EP. 14

Okay so so so

I am so incredibly upset over Sophie's - alleged - death >:// I really love Sophie and Norea because they very much so give me bipolar vibes <3 (lemme project onto characters), and I loved Sophie's chaotic manic energy >:///

THE BIG THING THOUGH (THAT I HAD SPOILED FOR ME) I WANNA SAY CONGRATS TO ALL OF US WHO CALLED IT. AERIAL IS REAL, FRIENDS. I just really loved the fucking delivery of that scene. Even though it was spoiled for me, the way it was delivered was just so good. Having it in the middle of that intense fight with the music being bananas was just great. I'm a sucker for delivery. I don't have much more on this to say other than GG EVERYONE <3 Also Eri deserves better >:///

Something something Shaddiq takeover of Benerit Group in progress.

Finally, hey hey why is Elan Clone #2 so horny?? Take a sedative my guy.

Side note before a couple Gundam posts

I had a bad day yesterday and today, so I didn't watch ep. 14 until literally just now (I am doing better, for all my eternally worried fans that I definitely have on here <3). I am incredibly frustrated though because like the big plot point thing got spoiled for me literally this morning on Facebook like c'mon.

Anyways I like The People's Gundam Left Unity Society (even if it is a clunky name), if you happen to be on Facebook. It is less insane than Gundam Mobilesuit Posting, as much as I enjoy that group.

Okay anyways, thank you for your attention and I hope for your support <3
