Impossible! Trekkie or LotR-fan would fit more because of the ears. But weeb? Never!

Turns out in both FFXI and FFXIV, a lotta JP players really love Elvaan / Elezen. Think they're the pinnacle of beauty etc.

You cannot escape your Weeby destiny!

Don't fight it. Embrace it. The rest of us have! There is no shame in it.

Your thoughts on Witch from Mercury so far? Personally it feels like the best written Gundam series in a long time, at least from the first 4 episodes.

It's been pretty good so far. Kinda wondering how Aerial will get upgraded when funnels are usually a late-series addition, though.

Also, the sheer storm it's been kicking up on Twitter is hilarious.

But they play potatoes way more often than Elezen. Does it mean, all Lalafell players are weebs?

Finally, FINALLY you admit it!

If I were to make a guess, since everything so far seems to be heavily linked to Shakespeare's The Tempest (Prospera = Prospero, Aerial = Ariel, cast out with child and seeking revenge, etc etc), I won't be heavily surprised if there isn't actually an upgrade.

And at the least, there's already a preorder for a flight unit to add on to the Aerial. Whether that really counts as an upgrade or just an add-on is debatable.

What storm has it been kicking up on twitter? I don't exist on twitter so anything that happens feels like some distant place, but I'm curious about what new thing they're upset about regardless.

So far I think the show is OK. The school setting and Utena vibes are a bit strange for Gundam but I still find myself looking forward to each episode. The only real problem I had so far is Chuchu's hairstyle in general and also how she fits it in her helmet but apparently that was solved in official art:

The first episode's ending kicked off the "anti-woke" crowd. I've been having a good laugh at them, anyway.

Especially the ones who seem to think that suddenly this makes Gundam political. Which tells me that they've probably never actually paid attention to a non-Build Gundam series before. Even G Gundam had anti-war tones as part of its premise, and it's basically giant robot Street Fighter.

Tequila Gundam FTW.
