When I was in high school I attended tutoring and before going for tutoring I watched the anime program at 5pm. At the end of DAITARN3 it showed the preview trailer of Gundam, I remember I was so excited to see the mobile suit as I was reading Starship Troopers by Heinlein. pic.twitter.com/3W4w8K6pQF
