\"Gundam<\/p>\n

Episode 8 has so much dorama and lulz, it’s like anime blogging. Maybe someday there will be a Genshiken-style anime about blogging and the blogosphere will finally have its very own Madarame. Or is that Cory Doctorow<\/a>? In any case, I digress.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

As Admiral Akbar famously said in an alternate reality version of Star Wars, “It’s a goddamn trap wtf don’t go there dude!” Wise words indeed.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nI’d be disturbed too if my female clone hit on me<\/p>\n

With the help of Wang Liumei, who may I remind you again is totally evil now, Regene successfully lures Tieria into a cunning labyrinth of androgynous lust and deceit, aka a dinner party. Setsuna, always on the lookout for his seme<\/em> half, volunteers to chauffeur Tieria to his doom.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nYou can almost see the knives they plan to stick into each other<\/p>\n

By sheer coincidence, Billy and Louise also happen to be present at this posh circle-jerk of Federation fat cats, creating the perfect setup for melodrama when they inevitably meet Setsuna.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nYou can tell that she’s tsundere<\/p>\n

But of course the greatest trap of all is Tieria herself. Himself. Due to his effeminate character design, it is no surprise that Tieria looks great in a formal dress, possibly better than most of the real female characters in the show. Coupled with a voice-changing device, the final package is a masterfully crafted gateway into \/y\/ on 4chan. Doujinshi coming your way soon.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nShe just keeps getting better XD<\/p>\n

Louise gets to pilot Soma’s custom Ahead. I wonder how Sergei managed to explain the fact that the Ahead was found intact but Soma’s dead body was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nMale or female?<\/p>\n

Innovators are popping up left and right like rabbits caught in a magician’s hat while in heat. I suppose most of them will eventually die pointless deaths, and since they all look and sound alike, I shall make no attempt to learn their silly Engrish names.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nPerhaps he will turn out to be the ultimate saviour<\/p>\n

And Patrick Coleslaw is alive! Team Rocket is back in business.<\/p>\n

Thoughts<\/h3>\n

Louise is so cool. I hope she goes berserk soon. Berserk blonde female pilots are awesome. Also she looks so much better with short hair. Okay, that’s my fanboying for the day.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“What you say!?”<\/p>\n

And I think Patrick is too incompetent and too much of a comedic relief to be allowed to remain in A-LOLS for long. Maybe he and Kati Mannequin will leave A-LOLS together and join Sergei in the anti-LOLS Federation faction that’s probably coming our way.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nSetsuna the Pimp will be the demographic to look out for in the next election<\/p>\n

I think Louise and Setsuna would make a great match. Saji is too wimpy for the new Louise and Marina is too boring for emokid Setsuna. It would be such an awesome plot twist. Sunrise should buy my script.<\/p>\n

Screencaps<\/h3>\n

\"Gundam
\nTieria needs to get new glasses or something<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nPrecioussssss<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nFrom independent mecha pilot to docile housewife<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nIt’s a female Mr. Mime<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nHe got your nose. For real<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nOMG THE MOON IS CRASHING INTO THE FRIGGING SEA!<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nLooks like the new expansion pack is out. Gotta get the new armour set<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nThe easiest character to animate<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n:)<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n:D<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nI haven’t met a rich\/famous person who actually walks with eyes closed<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nOh noz. What is Ribbons planning to do to Louise? >_<<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nLouise is in so much danger…<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\norz<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nA new-age Cinderella story<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nTieria realizes that he is not the only trap around<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nNow all the young and impressionable Gundams who watched this will go on a diet<\/p>\n

Life is like a box of chocolate. Eventually, it expires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
