It wouldn't. I don't mind if that happens or not honestly But for the most normal Mal users I just know if that happens it will have the opposite effect and ruin the show for them, even for people that never watched it, making the Mal score decrease a lot |

I also think that the pacing of this show is bad but at the same time you like one piece. A show with the worst pacing. Its pacing makes it unwatchable. I like some characters and every character is not meant to be liked. This is my first Gundam so I don't know if other gundams are better or if this is a step down but I am enjoying it. |

Your disagreement does not make it not true, unfortunately, nor does your creating strawmans with shows like One Piece (a show which I dropped a decade ago and haven't went back to btw). These are very common complaints in the community, you can choose to ignore them and enjoy the show though, that's cool. It is by far one of the worst Gundams I've seen, and certainly the worst in recent memory. Do check out the rest of the franchise though, Gundam is GOATed |

It is rare to see a show sabotage itself this badly in every conceivable way, this really should have gotten double the amount of episodes so everything could have been better focused, 50 being the Gundam standard. It wants to be the standard, but feels like it's forced to not be. Hell even the freaking GUNDAM battles are bland and bad, every single one is just Arial being overpowered and the other suits are never shown in any good capacity. All flash, no substance, sums up this show nicely enough |

The show has been terrible since episode 2 so I couldn't care less about the potential romantic relationship between two characters I don't like. |
Controversial opinions toku>anime SnK was always overrated and the ending is unparalleled trash One Piece is a masterpiece MHA is the best superhero comic on the market Rush is the greatest rock band of all time |

To be fair to it, I was enjoying it and had high hopes up to the very end of season 1. In hindsight, I guess everything wrong with it took root in season 1. After that it just decided that it wanted to double down on all the mistakes and be trash. |

I'm feeling that they are trying to put original Ellan between them. Not sure. But I definitely think that the show definitely carries out without SulettaxMiorine. |

Tbh, I am moreso uninterested because of how convoluted things are. I don’t even know where this quiet zero battleship came from or why starting a fight was necessary to complete quiet zero. It’s all lost on me |

Probably just me, but I feel the season have shown them build a deep closeness/intimacy, but not a romance. So a kiss after the next episode would feel like it was for the benefit of the audience, but not in keeping with the story and characters so far. Which couples have they shown kiss this far in the show? |

Probably the worst Gundam in a hot while. Edit: and oh I forgot the most important thing in a gundam, the Gundam battles. those were also trash “No character development besides guel” This just flat out isn’t true. Suletta went from being naively trusting of her mother and the world around to being far more aware and breaking free of that control. Miorine went from being cold and bad expressing at emotions to being more open about her feelings. Even supporting characters like Chu chu have changed. She no longer resorts to immediate violence. As for the pacing issues I’ll definitely agree season one went too slow and season two went too fast, but like pacing issues have been a problem in many past Gundam series including Zeta and 0079 and it wasn’t enough to “ruin” them and I don’t think it’s enough to ruin here Judging by the massive popularity it most likely won’t be the end of this timeline as well and there’s many more plot threads to be discussed. already feels like they’re trying to set up peil as a major villain for a possible next season or sequel |

Riiight, Suletta went from a momma's girl in the first 24 episodes to a rebel right at the 25th because the plot demanded it, and Mio suddenly started trusting her after not talking for an entire season. Very cool. And don't even try comparing this horrible pacing to the rest of the franchise, it doesn't make sense. It's certainly not the first time trash became popular, they targeted normies with it after all. Gundam has always had a reputation for being a boomer show and they wanted to change that. If it does continue I won't be watching it that's for sure |

The plot's collapsed to such a degree in the last 4 episodes that I basically am just watching for a SuleMio moment. It doesn't really have to be a kiss, but some sort of strong confirmation of their commitment to another, with each other. It's funny because I wasn't that invested in SuleMio relative to the main plot threads, but those shit the bed so hard it's basically all that's left for me in this show, which is maddening. |

Lordbricktrick said: I mean, let's be real here. A shit ton of actual romance series don't even have a kiss but that doesn't mean that takes away from the romance. Look at Kimi no na wa for example. I would be disappointed since their romantic relationship is a major component of the show's story and they have been building it up the past two seasons. |

Considering how conservative japan is and a lot of people watching are children, the most I see them doing is holding hands. This is just what happened with legend of korra. They cannot have 2 girls kissing on children's TV so they saved it for the comics. |

Show is already so ridiculously short. First half didn't feel like they had an idea what to do. Second half had too much happen in a short period of time. Now the show is basically over. Sunrise just going back to universal century and cosmic era. Feels like this was a test bad for how much yuri we can show on children's TV before parents bring the pitch fork. You can tell by how much guel did in season 2 and he is like the most popular character among male viewers. This is just legend of korra again and I was right they would dare make them kiss. We just saw rings and a photo of them holding hands. |

My bigger problem was i just didnt really buy their relationship but it ended up being a surprisingly small focus of the show in the end and it'd be hypocritical to act like THIS romance of all of em was one to hurt a Gundam in a franchise that has shit like Zeta and Seed Destiny, it was just undercooked in this one which i think kind of went for the show as a whole due to its short length. |

I suggest rewatching the last couple episodes, because it’s been consistent with its themes throughout. The relationship has also been consistent throughout. They never sacrificed the bigger picture for romance or the other way around. They kept a balance between the two. If you’re mad that Suletta wanted to save her family and her girlfriend then you most likely missed everything else. I get that it can be hard to do with watching a series weekly instead of all at once, but it’s honestly kinda baffling that anyone wouldn’t be able to see the themes and politics of the series this late into it. And as a side note that’s not related to your comment. Gundam couples rarely ever kiss. So Suletta and Miorine not having a kiss isn’t so strange. I think people are using that to discredit the ship as something like queer baiting/yuribaiting. If that’s yuribait then 90 percent of all gundam relationships are straight baiting. It’s great that they don’t kiss in gundam a lot of the time, it teaches it’s viewers that love is more than that. |

RobertBobert said: it was barely focused on in the first half outside of bringing up their status alot, it really only got legit focus near the end of the first cour wtih Sulletta feeling like they are distant and that quite nice scene in ep 11 before they spent almost the entirety of the 2nd half of the series apart. Their relationship was a major plotpoint but barely in focus, once it was established at it was pretty much just a jumping off point for prospera drama.JizzyHitler said: Small focus?

On that front its actually really in line with gundam romance, almost always the backseat for the bigger picture sometimes bordering exclusively on plotpoints over introspective character building. I mentioned zeta before that one just flat out didnt give a shit about the why characters are together they just wanted to hop right into the drama you can do with it, Kammile and Four get together minutes after being together. |

It was still written unnecessarily chaste, but in the last 2-3 episodes, I got the impression that at some point the show just wasn't interested in developing things beyond that.My bigger problem was i just didnt really buy their relationship but it ended up being a surprisingly small focus of the show in the end and it'd be hypocritical to act like THIS romance of all of em was one to hurt a Gundam in a franchise that has shit like Zeta and Seed Destiny, it was just undercooked in this one which i think kind of went for the show as a whole due to its short length. I suggest rewatching the last couple episodes, because it’s been consistent with its themes throughout. The relationship has also been consistent throughout. They never sacrificed the bigger picture for romance or the other way around. They kept a balance between the two. If you’re mad that Suletta wanted to save her family and her girlfriend then you most likely missed everything else. I get that it can be hard to do with watching a series weekly instead of all at once, but it’s honestly kinda baffling that anyone wouldn’t be able to see the themes and politics of the series this late into it. And as a side note that’s not related to your comment. Gundam couples rarely ever kiss. So Suletta and Miorine not having a kiss isn’t so strange. I think people are using that to discredit the ship as something like queer baiting/yuribaiting. If that’s yuribait then 90 percent of all gundam relationships are straight baiting. It’s great that they don’t kiss in gundam a lot of the time, it teaches it’s viewers that love is more than that. “I can’t come up with an argument so, uh, you’re wrong” Cope and seethe. You’re very paranoid if you think anyones baiting you. I called you stupid. It’s not as deep as you think. JizzyHitler said: RobertBobert said: it was barely focused on in the first half outside of bringing up their status alot, it really only got legit focus near the end of the first cour wtih Sulletta feeling like they are distant and that quite nice scene in ep 11 before they spent almost the entirety of the 2nd half of the series apart. Their relationship was a major plotpoint but barely in focus, once it was established at it was pretty much just a jumping off point for prospera drama.JizzyHitler said: My bigger problem was i just didnt really buy their relationship but it ended up being a surprisingly small focus of the show in the end and it'd be hypocritical to act like THIS romance of all of em was one to hurt a Gundam in a franchise that has shit like Zeta and Seed Destiny, it was just undercooked in this one which i think kind of went for the show as a whole due to its short length. On that front its actually really in line with gundam romance, almost always the backseat for the bigger picture sometimes bordering exclusively on plotpoints over introspective character building. I mentioned zeta before that one just flat out didnt give a shit about the why characters are together they just wanted to hop right into the drama you can do with it, Kammile and Four get together minutes after being together. Are we sure we're talking about a show that built the original framework around mimicking Utena and literally reducing most of the mecha action to duels to marry the girly part of the center couple? Yes, it was unnecessarily subtle given the show, most of the events of this show still revolved around the fact that Suletta became the fiance of Miorine and now the evil villains cannot carry out their evil plans. When they were torn apart, the show literally kept the focus on them yearning for each other, and although the odd chaste writing continued to have issues with that, it still swirled around their bonds the whole time. And I wouldn't call it "as subtle as the romance in other Gundams" since all the characters except Suletta and Miorine had no problem showing romantic feelings or intentions openly. |

Turn_A_Blum said: Don't waste time on them. Since any intimacy or even just friendliness with shippers already makes the characters a couple, even the maximum ambiguity and subtlety is enough romance for them.EmmyMoomin said: Yeah now i saw the rings. Still doesnt change the fact that the show didnt put too much effort in their relationship (as well as other elements of the story), so i wouldnt have been surprised if they end up as besties and nothing else.Turn_A_Blum said: Miorine and sulettas relationship was more like a friendship than a romantic one, dont know why make a deal for kiss or not kissing. They are married, is the thing. That’s not something friends do. |

They are married, is the thing. That’s not something friends do. That’s objectively wrong. I could understand having doubts early on, but episode 11 to episode 24 it really shouldn’t be so shocking that they got together, unless you just weren’t paying attention, it’s clear to anyone that they have romantic feelings. |
