Zyl: Whassup with Sunrise and nekkid characters? And what’s with the Shinn-Athrun back-to-back thing? Are they being paired up? Haha! Or is it just a showcase of how their interactions will be important to this arc of the story?
Extrapolating from the Kira-Lacus relationship (and to a more limited extent, for the Athrun-Cagalli relationship), the main male character needs a lead female character to guide and motivate/manipulate him. That was also the crux of the Kira-Fllay relationship. [MASSIVE SPOILER] And if we transplant the parallels from Kira to Shinn who is, afterall, GSD’s main character… and given what we know happens in ep 32-33, then it’s Stellar and then…?[END SPOILER]
Zyl: I am completely hopeless when it comes to telling the various GUNDAM units apart. Unless they have very different colours. There’s plenty of times when I still get Impulse and Freedom confused. And it mainly boils to down to the fact that I am less interested in GUNDAM design than Stripey’s gf. Who turns out to be a pretty good Gundam model builder. This new OP worries me mainly because it hints at a Shinn-Lunamaria pairing which I am completely opposed to. Argh. (>_<)
