Well, except Char HIMSELF also shows up to...steal Full Frontal's soul, or whatever, and the constant claims of him being a fake and/or imposter (which I can't imagine weren't done on purpose).

Didn't some shady folk make Frontal as a memory clone using some old Psycoframe in the the novels? I could have sworn I read that somewhere. My personal head-canon (for the OVA) is that Frontal was a memory clone created for propaganda purposes by the Sleeves' backers using the preserved mental patt...

I might like a short about Full Frontal, actually, considering they didn't deem it necessary to explore his origins in the OVA itself.

If anything, Unicorn could use a side-story to expand on some of the stuff that happens DURING it. While it wouldn't surprise me at all if a sequel was greenlit, anybody attempting one would have their work cut out for them. There are some dangling threads, sure, but none so egregious that they need...

What's this talk of cannibalism, I've tried reading through the forum but I'm still confused, from what I got some group of people were set aside as emergency food? Can anyone elaborate? Thanks.

It's all from an earlier interview that Tomino gave. It hasn't been revealed in-series yet.

I think Cardeas believed that the Federation cheated Newtypes (although by his own reasoning, so did Zeon), but that it's also really more of a symptom of the show's message than the main conclusion. As Unicorn goes to rather great lengths to show, Newtypes are a poorly-defined and nebulous concept,...

You, er, don't agree?

The conversation between Syam and Banagher would have been a fine time to do so. Instead it's mostly needlessly obtuse ramblings and puts all the focus (poorly) onto Newtypes - which, don't get me wrong, is a major thematic element too, but a lot of people reacted to the contents of the box with a b...

Well, more that the content wasn't the sole (or even major) factor in them covering it up. I do think the content matters at least a bit, since like I said above, it provides an easily-manipulated loophole to the Federation's total power over the entire Earth Sphere. While that may not lead to the u...

Except... In the 00 movie, it happens literally just like that. In Unicorn, the Box is revealed in hopes of doing the same, and Mineva makes a plea for peace and understanding in her broadcast, but humanity's minds aren't opened, nor does it immediately shake the reality of life in the UC to its cor...

And anyways, the clause being about "Independence" creates a whole host of its own problems. It would grant greater justification to Zeon's actions (which is problematic and at odds with their portrayal, both within and without Unicorn itself), for one. It would also be nonsensical to incl...

He was different, but I don't know if I'd call him "crazy", especially not in a Four Murasame sort of way.

Yeah, in basically every establishing shot of the Tower, we see about 4 actual elevators.

Regarding Towasanga...

Spoiler

It's been stated to be the colony at/on the moon.

Does the space elevator really stretch that far?

It might be a bit of a pipe dream, but I hope they flesh out the thing with Minovsky, and everything surrounding it. Easily the weakest part of the flashback portion in the manga I'd say.

Is Magellanica ever shown activating and departing in the anime? All I remember is there being a line about its rotation stopping...

And anyways, Aida is plenty consistently characterized. Everybody has different ideas of how grief looks, so I get maybe not initially buying Tomino's expression of grief through Aida, but there's nothing inconsistent about her attitude or her actions. Inconsistent implies a contradiction of some ki...

I'm gonna take a minute and quote Harry Potter here: 'Well, obviously, she's feeling very sad, because of Cedric dying. Then I expect she's feeling confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry, and she can't work out who she likes best. Then she'll be feeling guilty, thinking it's an in...

We get that you don't buy it, but there's no need to exaggerate, here. She goes from like 1 or 2 (she's not exactly buddy-buddy hanging-off-his-arm-Noredo-style with him) to MAYBE 5 at worst. The most hysteric she's been about it was right after his death. She sheds a couple tears again when she nex...

You don't think it's reasonable that maybe Aida would get sullen and snappy when reminded of her dead crush/lover/comrade? She's clearly trying to not hold it against Bellri, but it's still raw, so she still snaps a bit when reminded of it. That doesn't even seem "tsundere" (which I've onl...
