"Gay people are Gundam’s past and future"
Words to live by.
You can't kill art.
I'll wait for the transcript to be posted.
Team Rocket Boss.
So I’ve seen some takes that Miorine doing Shaddiq’s plan in the finale, actually vindicates him and his actions.
Do any people here agree with that?
The pacing and the stuff with the SAL really hurt the show’s ability to deal with the space politics. We never see much of the proxy wars the group funds.

I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.

Well, no, because Shaddiq's implementation was braindead and still crippled by having no diplomatic considerations first.

So, with the show over who was your favorite side character (eg: not Suletta or Miorine)
Guel lost half his charm for me the moment he came back from being kidnapped but he kind of wins by default from sheer screentime. I had a soft spot for El4n till the end though, soft sweet CV: Hanae boy
I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys
Like reflections in the glass!
Does Eri count?
Team Rocket Boss.
Lady Prospera.

Chuchu and Nika are my favorite side characters and both needed more screen time.
I like this show but it's such a shame they only had 24 episodes.
Guel and El4n.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.
Chuchu for me.
Face me now, Bitch!
That image with the Suletta and Miorine embrace reminds me a lot of this Symphogear XDU romantic Hibiki x Miku Gatcha card:
Between Suletta and Miorine, who do you think would wear the suit or Dress at the wedding?

Watch Symphogear
Surrounded by weirdoes
Suletta is the groom, remember that.
Wake me up at your own risk.
I'm guessing both are in dresses, if only because Suletta explicitly wants both of them in dresses.

,they would both wear dresses like suletta wanted.

Chuchu and Nika were my faves. Seemed they were building both to have more prominence only to not have time to follow through by the end.
I am now a shiny stone~
There's a certain amount of synchronization and general agreement on Suletta and Miorine's positions vis-a-vis the bedroom in fan content. Most of the doujinshi so far all portray poor Miorine as having to deal with Suletta having way more stamina than her in bed.
The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!

I mean... That's canon. (I was pleasantly surprised the first Sulemio doujin was relatively wholesome and cute)
Of course during their honeymoon Suletta likely didn't even have use of her legs, so that's also something to consider.
I need more G-Witch Gunpla. I even want to get the stupid gimmick machines that jobbed to Aeriel Rebuild.

King of Anime
Finished the anime earlier today. I thought the ending was pretty solid despite the last few episodes being pretty rushed. I think I preferred IBO more as a show but this was still good in its own right. Do we have any news of spinoff manga or short stories?
There's a spin-off manga called Vanadis Heart set during the twenty-year skip between the prologue and the show proper that features original characters. There's also been an LN adaptation of the show itself (written by its technology/science researcher IIRC) that's has a running side story about Suletta meeting an ex of Miorine's.

Yeah, especially for an hour long audio-only podcast, some idea of what the contents are would be nice.
Seriously, I'd even take automated transcriptions...
