I'm sorry...

I still do have a place to go home to...

And nothing could make me happier!

You'll understand, won't you...?

I can go see you anytime, Lalah.

Finished the OG Gundam and I'm just stream of consciousnessing this one because I feel like I'm gonna burst lmao. It's so rich with meaning, I want to cite so many beautiful moments but listing those off feels like it'd be a fool's endeavor. It's incredibly moving, it's human, it's earnest, it's timeless, it's so many things and I wish I had the words to communicate it better. Amuro's development as a protagonist is nuts like. Those last few episodes and their focus on the meaning of Newtypes and his ethos for them do a lot for him, but even over time he's learning his place in a world that he can't quite fit into because well, he's still growing and changing. But it's that flexibility, his earnestness, and his heart that make all that he does so impactful. You feel his dynamism and passion, his hopes for the world and those around him so strongly when he figures out where he needs to be. But it's not just a coming of age for Amuro. It's also interrogating the nature of humanity, the way we connect, sever them, hurt those around us, and are changed by those we connect with. To deny that is to deny the beauty of your humanity, as it's how we can, despite all odds, reach out to and connect with each other. Even with the destruction of the White Base, he still has a home and people to come back to. It gives so much meaning to what we do as humans, and Lalah feeling lost about that when she speaks to Amuro through what bond Newtypes have, because she can't *find* that in him, it's just. That entire episode between the two, Amuro realizing the horror of what he's done after killing the first person he was able to connect with on the level that Newtypes do, after learning so much from her in that short moment, and the way that even after she's gone, he figures that out, she helps him in one way or another to save his home. Even after he did something he can't take back, that didn't undo the impact she had on him. What is being a child but having your mistakes forgiven. And speaking of the kids, I feel like Katz, Letz, and Kikka are so central to what makes the show good? They're often used for comedy but I think that's part of the core fact that makes them such wonderful parts in the narrative; that even among the horror of war, we have to take care of everyone that will come after us, and maintain our ability to feel that joy and hope and optimism for the future, to try as hard as we can within our means to do *something*. Them bringing Amuro back then acts as a symbol of how important it is to maintain that hope, especially after Amuro has just battled Char and his cynical realism. Them being newtypes also works because well, again, they're the future. Newtypes are such a cool thing both in the frame of "scifi thing cool" and also just as a purely symbolic thing. To be a Newtype is to be able to connect to others and try to understand them, to listen to the intent, emotion, and will of others, in some ways. We see Bright, who is decidedly Not portrayed as a Newtype reflect this philosophy, in the ways he can feel some parts of it with Lalah, because he's open to the future, but he's not open minded enough like Sayla, Mirai, Amuro, and Char, to interact with that future. Katz, Letz, and Kikka once again as Newtype children also demonstrate that future. It can be taken as "newtypes are superior for reasons demonstrated in the work" which is objectively true but I think it misses the forest for the trees, in that the reason that Newtypes are the future is their ability to connect to other people, and their connections are depicted as *beautiful* things. I feel like as I sit on it more and ruminate I'll have more to say, but as it stands I just. I get why Gundam fans are so excited when people get into it, because it's a work so rich with meaning.
