Manipulating people in order to utilize their diplomatic and/or pugilistic talents in a utilitarian sense is markedly different than manipulating someone in order to sexually exploit them.

I don't agree? He tricks a child into fighting a war for him on the basis of romantic connection (which he most likely does not feel, but he certainly SAYS that he does). She then dies fighting in that war for him.
Yeah, a bad Raison d'État is still a bad reason.
One of many reasons I dislike CCA, especially on the heels of Zeta.
There was an entire television series between Zeta and CCA.

But then she gets in cat fights with his existing love interest and DEMANDS he pick her, Quess, over the person he'd been with up till now. She's depicted as INCREDIBLY immature, more like a child than a teenager. She thinks nothing of committing murder over being mildly annoyed or inconvenienced by someone, to the point of being willing to shoot Amuro in the face to hopefully impress Char.
tl;dr Quess is my least favorite character out of every series I've seen in all of Gundam.
anyway Double Zeta is real fuckin' fun as a group watching activity.
Its mostly light fluff but it does a fun take on the "fantasy world that works like a isekai but isnt" thing thats been going on lately
Everyone is born with a class assigned to them basically,that gives them relevant skills and yada yada
But it also gives them powerful urges to follow what the class would do
So you get shit like a 5 year old bar brawler that wanted to be a guard, but just gets in fights instead
For all the fluff, their take on what being a hero means spins pretty dark and it's definitely not a position anyone would want.
Also the bit about how trying to turn against your class is considered blasphemy, especially trying to change or just get rid of your class. There's some implications there I'd love to see explored, but manga chapters are frustratingly few.
regarding your spoiler
Kinda the point though. I mean, it's a gateway to the various, more serious shows by seeing a Mobile Suit and makes the viewer going "oh, I wanna know more about where this came from!" Plus it's nice to have some fluff in a mostly-otherwise serious anti-war franchise.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Maybe it's bad when adults manipulate and exploit teenagers to have them pilot the giant murder robots for them.

I've soured on the show pretty hard in the second half, but man, that ending was just awful.
How Ouken's stuff ends? That one random thug he 'killed' in his first appearance pops up again out of nowhere, frees him, cuts off his head, and a fish eats it. The end. All wrapped up... apparently. Somehow.
All the people Miranjo killed? Give her a thumbs up as they sail off to the afterlife. Big speech about how she did bad things, but bad things happened to her too, so that makes it even. That's not how revenge stories work, for fuck's sake! You don't get a hundred free murders for each family member tragically killed! The people you maimed AND KILLED like an hour ago should not be gathering in a circle to cheer you! They weren't even privy to all the tragic flashbacks or anything! This is idiotic.
Also, it feels weird that most of the shows I have any hope for next season came are manga adaptions of Jump things. There's already one promo out there of one of the cheat isekai things that's about half just a rape scene.
Hi-streamer's pretty close to the CCA we got, plus a whole lot of prologue.
My reaction is akin to 'stop, don't, come back', but there's probably some gems there for some people. (The only remotely memorable shows for me are School Live(and that's only for the twist) and Watamote.)
Wait think I got that mixed up with "Say I love You" lol from that list, still a good rec for a manga read if you like romance
Beyond the Boundary, Flowers of Evil, and Kids on the Slope are all excellent, but i already own the first two on disc, so

It's more of like a "Huh that's a cool idea, it's too bad the author is fumbling it so badly, someone else should steal this premise but do it better" sorta watch, but it does at least have some interesting ideas tucked away in it.
Chivalry has some pretty hype fights.
