Holy shit, I finally found the name of the Gundam series I used to watch as a kid that really drew me in. It was 08th MS Team.

For years, I couldn't remember my favorite character's name, and finally today, my brain dug down deep and found it completely unprompted. So googling "Gundam Eledore" pretty much brought me right to it. (Eledore Massis)

I'll have to add that series to the docket, too.

The Docket[TM] is ever increasing.

This year, I decided to bring a new cosplay to Katsucon.  Corporal Eledore Massis, of the Earth Federation forces from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. 

He drove the Type 74 hover truck, from which he helped coordinate the movements of the 08th MS team in combat.

Episode 5: "The Broken Order to Standby"

Eledore: I wanna go home! It's not my time to die!

Michel: Well I don't like the idea either ya know.

Eledore: Yeah but I wrote a love song dammit! That was really good, "Love and Peace" I called it! And now here I sit in a dark cellar awaiting execution! I finally got my big chance! And now my dreams are falling apart, fading away, slipping away! *cries*

Michel: Eledore...

Eledore: Shit! Just leave me alone!

Michel: But Miss Maria told us not to lose hope remember?!

Eledore: How can you stay so calm in this situation?! My career is over, my heart is broken, and YOU don't give a damn one way or the other for the tragedy of it all!!!

Michel: Don't be so self-centered! You know this situation is your fault in the first place Eledore!

Eledore: What are you talking about?! How dare you give me that crap!

Michel: Well it's the truth, isn't it?!?!?! I...I don't even get to write a letter so I can say good bye to my BB one last time!!! *starts crying*

Eledore: I warned you those long distance love affairs never end happily! But me...I was gonna have a hit song and all my dreams were comin' true! GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!

According to Eledore, a love song is more important than love itself.
