I noticed that the article got the two voice actors and their roles reversed. It should be Kana Ichinose as Suletta Mercury and Lynn as Miorine Rembran.

Even though make it open interpretation with the their relationship by Bandai official
I dont know if they are allow to answer certain question like how they were before in the previous convection

Hope I've people to need to understand this voice actress just doing thei job and they not the not one in control on how the show property should be since they don't own it. Hope the fans of the show keep civilised at the stage they going to been. Remember you got yourship in the show but not by the word of God officially by who cares, they survived.

So keep it cool, guys

This scene was generally cute and happy that both Kana and Lynn are visiting the states. Now I just have to wait a month before Namco Bandai finds a way to ruin this moment.

These tweets really capture the fandom's shipping of Suletta and Miorine.


Yes, it is the fandom.... and absolutely nothing specific or official that was said or done within the show that should imply a relationship. Stop reading into it, YOU SAW NOTHING THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE!. Laughing

Sarcasm aside, I have to wonder what the general vibe at Anime NYC is going to be when western fans are likely to be more vocal about the situation than Japanese fans accepting of the company's statement.

I still maintain that it was terrible as a Gundam show, and the pacing was all over. The company's statements after the show ended just further solidified how out of touch the entire production was. There's still people that did watch it and did enjoy it for what it became, so hopefully they get something out of an IRL event like this. I'll have to mark my calendar and keep an eye out for any amusing followup headlines. Laughing

Actually, most of the Japanese fans were just as mad toward the statement like overseas ones.

Doesn't really seem to matter in the end. I'm hearing from folks at the con that there was a pretty big line for the exclusive almost-$100 art they were selling, so I guess I'm way off the mark and no one finds it weird paying money to a company for a "they were just roommates" picture.

Sounds like another successful boycott.

I don't think there ever really was any sort of formal boycott intended. Is more just an observation that in spite of the VAs getting slapped down by Bandai, the art is still selling as well as it probably ever would have.
