fun fact: the image they showed for the legion railgun, Morpho, is actually the Schwerer Gustav, a train-mounted artillery piece made by germany around WWII. just like the Morpho, the real life artillery piece had its barrel break after firing for awhile, after which it was sent back to install a spare barrel.

2024-02-10 18:05:08 +0000 UTCOmg! I totally agree. Blooded Iron Orphans does give me the 86 vibes and it is such a good show. Became my favorite Gundam series when it came out

2024-02-09 20:06:12 +0000 UTCThe whole show (seed) is mediocre from today's standard, but I'd like to believe that if it was remade nowadays with todays animations and some revision to the dialogue that it would hold up pretty well.

2024-02-09 17:12:13 +0000 UTCRewatching this with you guys has been really rewarding. I love how this show pits the “combat veteran” mentality and pride of the 86 to want to continue the fight on behalf of their fallen comrades, against the desperation of the Federacy that needs the 86 to really put up a good fight. The 86 know that they’re the best people for the job, and the Federacy military higher-ups know they’re the best people for the job. Amidst all of that you have the continuous breakdown of Shins mental state as he comes to terms with the Republic getting wiped out and what that means for Lena.

2024-02-09 13:36:32 +0000 UTCSo basically the republic refused to get in contact with the federacy if i remember right so there's no way of getting information if there are any survivors. If you remember last episode Frederica saw the Gran Mur falling in the republic. So at this point Shin believes that Lena is dead. There are a lot of symbolism in this episode for Shin's headspace right now. He's getting tired of living so he's starting to not care anymore.

2024-02-09 13:16:45 +0000 UTCWe may not get confirmation of Lena’s death, but the legion aren’t trying to kill humans intentionally. Lena and her team were outside in the open. They want the heads of people to get stronger as a force. Lena thus far has been showing that her abilities as a tactical leader are in another class compared to others, hence her quick rise in ranks. Legion Lena may or may not be her fate, but she would make for a terrifying enemy.

2024-02-09 06:30:59 +0000 UTCThis was more symbolic of the mindset Shin has currently, he is getting mentally exhausted and starting to not really care will he live or die.

2024-02-09 04:16:40 +0000 UTCShin believes Lena is dead at this point because when he is pointing out where the legion is, he points directly at San magnolia. Now that he thinks they were wiped out he is contemplating what his reason for living is and why he keeps getting left behind.

2024-02-09 03:53:53 +0000 UTCOmg it showed water on the window dripping down and it looked like shin was crying thats so cool

2024-02-09 03:42:15 +0000 UTCIt’s about the fact that Lena have to live that when shin dies he will not be forgotten bc he is always the last in his gang family

2024-02-09 02:46:17 +0000 UTCI feel like shins just suicidal at this point, he thinks he has no reason to live.
