Each week I come in prepared, expecting the worst and then somehow this damn show still finds some way of pulling the rug out from under me!
I don’t know how but I was somehow feeling really conflicted about Prospera vs Mio, I didn’t want either of them to lose, even though Prospera is supposed to be the antagonist she’s the only one who seems to be doing what’s required to bring about real change in the fucked up world of this show. I just don’t see how anything changes with current structure still intact and without Prospera nothing is changing, I fully expect the writers to prove me wrong ofc.
I think it’s safe to assume at this point that another season is coming, no way they can resolve all this in this season.
I mean, at the end of the credits it said that the next episode would be “The Final Episode”. I was thinking up to that point that the last episode of this season would be setup for the next, but I doubt that they’d literally say that it’s the final episode without it being the final episode.
A sequel series wouldn’t be out of the question, possibly with a new protagonist (since, now that the whole drama with Prospera and Ericht is resolved, Suletta doesn’t really have a strong motivation to get inside a giant war robot and blow things up.) The problem is the Gundams themselves. Throughout most of this series we were led to believe that the problem of Gundams killing their pilots was resolved with Aerial and Suletta, but the last few episodes have revealed that Eri was just protecting Suletta from needing to use the dangeroud permet levels. If there’s going to be a sequel series then it would stand to reason that it’s going to be about someone piloting a Gundam, so they’re going to need to find a reason why doing so won’t kill them.
Well the final episode can just mean final episode of the season right?
As of Suletta’s motivation, Eri is seemingly dead, no way Prospera takes that lying down, not to mention SAL is a threat to everyone Suletta cares about, that’s plenty motivation I think to get in a gundam again, not to mention the whole situation on Earth.
