I went looking through the JP SuleMio Marriage tag, and it's mostly positive. A lot of

"thank you so much for confirming it officially"

with some

"We knew it already but I guess there were some people still denying it"

and a few amusing instances of

"Here's How Guel x Suletta Can Still Win"

What hardcore denial does to motherfuckers.

Glad the JP LBTQ+ community can enjoy this.

Honestly curious to see what “explanations” bigots will come up mow that extra material took what little room for doubt (read: none at all) there was.

Cringe will at least give people a good laugh.

Someone claimed that if you looked hard enough in the epilogue, you can see that Suletta trimmed some of her nails in the post-timeskip epilogue :V It's supposed to be a very subtle sign of "yes, they very married and doin' it".

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 linked the screenshot, yes. Only some of her nails. Maybe it was a coincidence! Or maybe someone really wanted to slip that in.

Welp, here we go. GUNDAM ACE deleted the Miorine and Suletta are "married" line from the online transcript of the VA interview. Its literally been edited out.

You can imagine how this is going now.

You mean the Youtube account? The cowards.

FYI, don't blame Sunrise and Bandai on this, blame Kadokawa.

Like I said, it's Kadokawa who published Gundam Ace's video, not Sunrise or Bandai.

What's baffling about this is people have the print version already so the transcript changes are obvious to see.

Man, don't they know that doing things Soviet-style won't work?

Given that most Japanese execs have the minds of dinosaurs, it won't surprise that they're stuck with old-school tactics.

In this case, Kadokawa higher-ups are the ones who are afraid of losing male fans, despite evidence to the contrary.

It's the latter that always baffles me about corporate responses. "Maybe if we piss off the other side, the first lot will forgive us" never works.

Even more baffling that it's by a group that didn't produce the anime itself, only formed the main Youtube account. (Kadokawa)

@fillerdude. Because if their waifus are gay, it shatters the delusion of male otaku incels that they could date/marry them?

That's pretty much it. Like there's a reason why producers ban Idol singers from having any boyfriends, because it would ruin the illusion that the singers are singing for you.

Finally had the time to watch the last english dub episode. This had the potential to be the best Gundam series and so I cannot help but be disappointed especially when most of the issues stem from having only 24 episodes with a slow first half.

As personal stories of Sunletta and Miorine, it was great even if it needed the last 4 episodes to be very rushed with multiple asspulls to get to the happy ending.

On the other hand, so many plot threads got set up just to be wasted. Out of all the flaws other people have mentioned, my biggest gripe with the series would be the fact that it spends so much time setting a so many plot threads and yet we still don't know a lot of the important details regarding the specific circumstances and major political players in the overarching Earth-Space conflict. For example, it is hard to judge the potential effectiveness of Miorine's plan in the finale. Since war partitioning heavily implies that the Earth is still divided into multiple sovereign countries or factions that have been buying weapons from the Spacian corporations to wage war on each other, it is difficult to predict if transferring Benerit assets to Earthian control is going to stop or reduce the wars on Earth without knowing why they are fighting to begin with.

Also, for some reason, all the protagonists agree to work together to stop Quiet Zero immediately after finding out about it without elaborating why a worldwide transhumanist dream zone that could also force a stop to wars would be bad.

The world is cruel yet so very beautiful.

Maybe it's because Prospera is still killing a shit ton of people with her space station despite disabling their weapons?

It was because Quiet Zero could potentially take over/potentially destroyed almost all technology in the entire Earth Sphere, not just mobile suits, and we already saw that Prospera didn't particularly care about causing collateral damage. Guston mentions that it can bring about heavy loss of life across all of the Fronts in the same meeting he asks Suletta to fly the Calibarn.
