Arc Hammer posted:The Kobayashi interview also says that they wrote up detailed backgrounds for all of the Earth House members but they haven't released them to the public. I'd be very interested to read whatever they made up for Nika. Spend your childhood working in a machine shop and then you get a Willy Wonka golden ticket to the richest of the rich kids school. You think she only met Dawn of Fold after her first year? That would he one hell of an awkward summer break to go home, meet the guy who is called your adoptive father and then be sent back to school with a radio to coordinate terrorist bombings. My impression was that she was always with Dawn of Fold, and that her attendance at Asticassia was arranged by Shaddiq through shell companies, like Sophia and Norea.

i think arc hammer's idea is that she was given a free ride by shaddiq/dawn of fold/whoever without being told what her real purpose was until she was already in space, effectively entrapping her as their agent against her will i don't think there is any evidence at all indicating that might be the case, but i don't think there's anything disproving it either. mostly just seems like a concept for keeping nika's hands clean instead of having her naively or morally dubiously accept working for terrorists.

It always read to me more like she was being blackmailed into working for them, I dunno. She wasn't being completely honest with either Suletta or Martin when we get the glimpse of her backstory but considering the full throated enthusiasm by other DOF members compared to her hesitation it seemed more like she jumped at an opportunity handed to her before she was informed of the catch. Because really given what we see about the state of education on Earth who wouldn't immediately jump at a chance to go to Asticassia or hope they got scooped up by the Grassley academy program?

it seemed to me more like she took a faustian bargain towards a more noble goal than what sophie and norea wanted, and since the catch reflected poorly on her (despite being at least initially willing to pay it) she really wanted to keep it contained. i'd also be more leaning towards "found out that she misjudged how big a deal the catch was" than "literally tricked and robbed of her agency" basically i'm saying she's a less self aware shaddiq ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 23, 2023 |

Wish we'd seen a scene between Nika and Naji. Would have definitely been interesting.

BlitznBurst posted:I mean, basically the actual decisive moment of the finale is Prospera telling Suletta to use Quiet Zero and Suletta refusing. The episode just mostly centers Suletta's own feelings while we don't really get any insight into Prospera's own thoughts, which I think is fine for the runtime they had. Wasn’t quiet zero hacked and shut down? How could it be used by suletta or eri at all at that point? At the end of the show, we are shown the school up and running again, but is this really a good thing? The main cast may have mostly fond memories of it, but it is still basically a school where children train to be soldiers or train to maintain weapons of war.

it's a product of a larger system with much bigger problems than can be solved in the scope of a single event or by a handful of individual actors. the school itself isn't good but as far as the military industrial complex continuing to operate and suppress the general populace goes it's pretty small potatos. miorine's working towards dismantling that system without going shaddiq's route in the epilogue iirc? standard gundam "we solved some big short term problems but the long term problems they sprung from aren't going away any time soon" ending ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Dec 23, 2023 |

The show really needed 3-4 more episodes (or better pacing in S2 / some minor plot trimming).

I think the school itself is alright as much as any corporate school can be. The show described three tracks the school is known for: business management (lol, lmao), mechanics (from what I could tell basically an engineering degree with a trades component), and piloting (the closest to "train child soldiers"). The first two are "fine to good," depending on your tolerance for people with MBAs, and the latter does have some nuance--Suletta was explicitly interested in using mobile suits for rescue missions, and the setting itself seems to indicate that mobile suits are also big industrial equipment. The problems with the school are a nothing burger compared to the social systems in the world. Anyone from Earth is a second class citizen, the solar system and Earth have been divvied up into corporate fiefdoms with designated 'conflict zones.' If you crack the hood, it's very cyberpunk and thus carries all the same baggage with respect to the difficulties of altering the status quo.

I'll still continue to laugh at the mountain of michaelis kits I saw in hobby shops but I guess someone ended up buying them.

It's not cool enough in the show to make the model kit feel disappointing in comparison, which is the problem I have with the Darilbalde.
