G Gundam 49 END
I've said it once and I'll say it again, G Gundam is the greatest romance ever told. It was so unbelievably satisfying to see them break through this hurdle after a near fifty episodes of developing their relationship as friends, partners and much more. What was impressive was that it never reached a point of frustration like some attempts at romance do. Even though they weren't in a relationship, you could feel their already strong connection even after a few episodes. The show didn't feel the need to explicitly shout at the viewer "Domon and Rain have a strong relationship and chemistry" because it was simple to see. And when Domon finally said it I could almost feel the tears welling up as a result, it was that powerful.
Now I'd just like to sit down the writers of GBF Try and show them this as an example of an amazing romance told with Gundam. I've said it before but G and Try are almost on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to romantic writing and it shows. A slow, strong, emotional romantic element is unbelievably more satisfying than a cheap, flirty, hollow mess of anime romance tropes. Even separated from Gundam, G is legitimately one of the most enjoyable romance stories I have experienced.
Now I'm really excited for the 14th Gundam Fight Tournament!
