Anno cooked with this one. All Zaku’s are Bastards
Usual caveat that corporations aren’t our friends, including Bandai Namco (Interpret This 
Bandai Executives), Joyce’s quote from Disco Elysium, etc. But I had the chance to see the preview movie in theatres and this show has got to be my most anticipated anime of the year so far.
I like the “alternate UC” setting they’re playing with - it worked well for Gundam X (seriously any UC fan needs to watch Gundam X… and all anime fans need to watch the best anime of all time, Turn A Gundam), so I’m hopeful it could work well here.
Challia Bull showing up in this was spoiled for me, but I was fortunate enough to avoid seeing what he looked like. Definitely not what I was expecting lol.
I started an Andor rewatch in anticipation of season 2 and couldn’t help but draw that comparison lol
One of those hits definitely wasn’t a killshot, the other I’m not sure. The first one it shows the cop after the hit and then his cockpit goes dark, the second one was a headshot which generally isn’t a killshot on a mobile suit.
I know it’s a direct reference to Denim and Gene, but I think I’m just more hyped for Andor season 2 at this point lol.
