started the series because of your Utena-posting, and wondering what the dark-skinned, kind of S. Asian look means in Japan? Gundam treated it as like, inscrutable and wise, but also kind of child-like
Yeah honestly I don’t know what that was about. Like, Anthy’s plausibly desi, and I guess “Secret of Blue Water” Nadia’s ambiguous, but what was going on with Kaolla Su and Mihoshi? Was that just a ‘90s thing? Is there some connection to the hyper-tanned gyaru/gal here? I dunno.
