“When Mobile Suit Gundam aired in Japan in 1979, its first dedicated fans were middle and high school girls, creator Yoshiyuki Tomino said in several magazine interviews”

Gunpla is for the girls

Real Gundams wear pink... and sparkles, and hearts, and tutus, and rhinestones

@gabrielesvelto Oooh, interesting, I wouldn’t have expected that from such a stereotypical shounen series… Can’t help but wonder if these fans produced any Amuro x Char material though :)

@spenot well, it's very famous but I wouldn't call it stereotypical. This is a shot from MSG op which shows half the cast, highlighting how large and diverse it was. It wasn't the usual "hero journey", it was almost an ensemble show.
