It’s time for the seasonal OP/ED roundup! I want to hear about your favorite OPs and EDs for the season (alternatively, your least favorites!). If you are looking for a collection of them all for this season, you can find almost all of them at the link below:
Just a note that you can absolutely use this thread like you would any other general discussion thread. So, feel free to post questions/comments/recommendations like any other week.
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
Speaking as someone whose prior experience with Gundam has been limited to series not part of the main continuity (Wing, part of SEED and I think the first few episodes of X, none of it recently) and a summary or two I read back in the day . . . it is dense enough that I was having a bit of trouble with some terminology that was thrown around in the first episode. The second, ironically, was somewhat easier to follow despite being a lot more lore-steeped, because while it also dumped a fair amount of terminology without proper explanation, it was stuff related to the brief history/political summaries I’d read before, rather than the nuts and bolts of mecha combat. I haven’t gotten to the third ep. yet.
Overall, I would rate it as more difficult for someone coming in cold to follow than Your Forma, despite the latter having been deliberately decapitated. I suspect that I would have dropped this if I hadn’t had those half-remembered old summaries of the Universal Century to fall back on.
