"The coordinates to Laplace's Box will be revealed at the Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory Torrington Base. Please do not touch the exhibits."

It's funny how the Laplace Program treasure hunt coordinates are supposed to take them on a misery tour of the destruction wrought by the Universal Century, but they only go to the wreckage of the Laplace space station and then Australia. Presumably the box coordinates wanted them to reflect on the Sydney crater from the first Colony Drop, except they never actually go to Sydney and instead blow up an army base.

Then they discover the true coordinates were right back where they started because Syam must have gotten bored of the treasure hunt and decided that a slideshow of TV screens showing off the UC Atrocities Greatest Hits would be easier than trucking all over the Earth Sphere.

Haman responds with unconcealed disgust at the notion of being fixed.

Judau, somewhere on Jupiter, sneezes.

Haman's whole thing is that she simultaneously loves and hates the idea of someone swooping in to fix her. God only knows what chaos would ensue if she met Suletta.

Oddly, I feel like if she met Mashymyre, they'd rapidly become best friends and extremely supportive of each other's romantic pursuits.

I must need to rewatch ZZ because my recollection was that the first time they met, it was the most formative moment in Mashymyre's life, while for Haman it was Tuesday. The second time they met, Mashymyre got cyber-newtyped.

Am I remembering wrong?

This is completely correct. That said, Haman seems to have some basic affection for Mashymyre (in the Japanese dub, at least), and she's definitely up for Judau sweeping her away on a white horse (even if she'd never admit it).

Maybe the person who saw that Freedom has made over 27 million USD in Japan, beating Gundam's record even accounting for inflation. Or maybe it was the person who noted that, with the strike, the movie calendar in the US is a bit bare, and theaters are really looking for anything to keep the lights on. Or maybe a third guy who noticed that anime movies have been making good money in the US lately.

There's a lot of reasons to do it, and not that much money lost if it fails. (And even then, it increases the profile of the series, so you can sell more merch).

Question: do funnels work in atmosphere or are they only for space-use? I'm drawing a blank on examples and I'm not sure if the hovering beam grid things that the Shamblo deploys in Unicorn count as funnels or not.

They count. The Psyco Mk3 Mk2 Axis deploys a bunch in ZZ at Dublin too.

SEED never breaks it I think. All the funnel units don't use them on Earth.

I have to wonder at what point people will just accept SEED is popular.
