I am so glad modern Gundam has moved beyond UNDERSTANDING.

Critical support for the Dawn of Fold in their efforts to resist Spacian oppression.

(Shaddiq being a closet Maoist was a twist I wasn’t expecting.)

    The greatest anime betrayal of all would be if the writers did some sort of Enlightened Centrist thing by the final episode where the people wanting to improve society somewhat go too far and having understanding with the oppressors is the only way forward.

    Shit, I hope I didn’t hear a lathe humming. :lathe-of-heaven:

      That’s the plot of all the mid 90’s -2000’s Gundam. :deeper-sadness:

      That said, I have a good feeling about this one. We had a character paraphrase “political power flows from the barrel of a gun”.
