It's Gundam.

Like. Fucking ALL of the Gundams.

omg

So I'm somewhere between amused (because hello, old friend) and hilariously overwhelmed because I know my knowledge is limited to 1-3 properties and Gundam has so much. Like. 40 + years of stuff!

So I did my best to research "what is popular/known in the countries we sell to" while trying not to lean into my own bias. X')

40+ years with so many different mobile suits and variations of mobile suits etc etc

you mean

(In the meantime, I have been reminded that I really SHOULD watch Turn A Gundam)

IT'S A GUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

also yes TURN A TURN

IT'S A GUNDAAAAAAAAAAM, indeed!

Oooh cool!

(I also basically had a Ted Talk explaining to my art director what a Gundam is, so that was a hilarious moment in my day)

lmaooooooo

IT'S A GUNDAM

"So it's a robot?"
"Yes, that you pilot. Like a giant... well, mobile suit, hence the name."
"Like Iron Man?"
"Oh no, much bigger, like two stories."
"Oh... so all giant robots that you pilot are gundams?"
"Uh, well... not exactly. Not even in the series. Just... the hero ones? With a certain look? And the Vs on their foreheads? (but not always??)"

oh god... yeah

Also, that video is incredible, Eileen, thank you for sharing. X')

Oh my god

Yes

I wish it was relevant to make Graham aker memes

fUCK
Now I want to make Graham meme shirts just for my own self

I WISH TO EMBRACE YOU, GUNDAM!!!

He has so many good lines tho

BECAUSE I AM A VIRGO, I BELIEVE IN FATE

He DOES

AH YES TRULY A SLEEPING BEAUTY

The giant humvee he drives because he's american

I Stan a Graham who says weird shit constantly and can decide to wear a mask and be a weeb and yet still be respected

He has a license! To do whatever he wants!! And boy, DOES he

“You single-handedly stole my heart away. This feeling is, without a doubt, love! But if it transcends love, it becomes obsession!”

I need to rewatch that series if only for Graham and to cringe at what an edge lord I was 15 years ago

Or wait maybe only like 12 or 13

Re-watching the series for Graham sounds like an excellent choice

13 sounds right?

2009? goddd THAT IS 13

lmao
