Two screenshots, one placed above the other, from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The first is a close-up depicting Miorine Rembran, left, with a serious expression and talking to Suletta Mercury, right. The second is another close-up, depicting Miorine, left, and Suletta, right, again, but with the facing reversed. Suletta has a dismayed expression. There is text between the two screenshots which reads: "Don't forget to pre-order the English edition of Love Bullet by inee! It goes on sale tomorrow!" #manga #yuri #sulemio news

A modified version of the "Wow!! Cool Robot!!!/War is Bad" Gundam meme. Above the shooting Gundam's head on the left is written "Knights of Guinevere Pilot" in black Courier font. The wide-eyed staring human face on the right has had shoulder-length brown hair added to it, and below is written "Me" in black Courier font. The speech bubble above the face has been altered to say "Wow!! Cool Robot Body Horror!!!", with the 'Body Horror' part written in red, but otherwise matching the MS Paint handdrawn style of the original message. The "War is Bad" has been erased and replaced with the following text, written in pink Courier font: "You are not immune to propaganda, advertising, and nostalgia even when you're aware of the underlying reality and how it materially impacts your living conditions."

Witch from Mercury propaganda: The redhead, Suletta, is the tall one; she routinely cowers behind people shorter than her, including Miorine, the white-haired one.
Screenshot from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury. The deuteragonist, Miorine Rembran, is sitting at her school desk, her cheek resting on the palm, looking completely unimpressed by her ex-fiance, who is offscreen. The protagonist, Suletta Mercury, is crouching right behind Miorine, both hands placed on the other girl's right shoulder, with a fearful expression on her face. A height comparison chart of the members of Earth House from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The protagonist, Suletta Mercury, is 170 cm (~5'7") tall, tied for the third tallest person in the group. The deuteragonist, Miorine Rembran, is ~156 cm (5'1") tall (in heels), and is among the three shortest people in the group.

Screenshot from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The hands of the lead characters, Miorine Rembran on the left and the Suletta Mercury on the right, are clasped intimately. On Miorine's wrist is written "I hate Char Aznable!" in blue. On Suletta's wrist is written "Char is one of my favorite characters!" in red. On the pair of clasped hands is written "I want to trap him in his stupid escape pod and shotput him into the sun!" in yellow. This meme was inspired by my very first viewing of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, which was suggested by my wonderful girlfriend for our movie date night ^_^.

The "You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?" meme, but with the addition of "About G-Witch?" and Suletta's face imposed over Buster's.

I like how the background of the intermission menu changes to reflect that you're in space.
Screenshot from Super Robot Wars Y of the intermission menu, with the background reflecting how the A. Advent is currently in space. Allenby Beardsley from Mobile Fighter G Gundam is the currently featured character on the right, with a score of 18, currently the 3rd highest in this particular player's game. She has a quote below saying: "Let's hit the arcade after this training session!"

I find it charmingly whimsical that Tomino worked on a portal fantasy and a space opera in the 80s, and decided that both shows absolutely needed a tiny fairy companion for the protagonist. In retrospect, I'm kinda surprised he didn't find a way to justify doing that for Kamille in Zeta as well.
Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars Y, featuring a conversation between Lilis Faw from the anime Heavy Metal L-Gaim (1984) and Show Zama from the anime Aura Battler Dunbine (1983). Lilis is saying: "Hey, you're not Daba." Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars Y, featuring a conversation between Daba Myroad from the anime Heavy Metal L-Gaim (1984) and Chum Huau from Aura Battler Dunbine (1983). Daba is saying: "But you look just like Lilis to me."

Y'know, despite being fire-spitting demons that are trying to kill you, I think the Dlomes are kinda cute? They even make an adorable chirping sound when they're about to attack.
Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars Y of the character profile for the Dlome, a purple jellyfish-like demon from the anime Reideen the Brave (1975). The Dlome's profile text reads: "Yoma Beasts sent by the Yoma Empire. They often appear with Gantes, moving freely through both the sea and air. They can spit fire from their mouths and use their tentacles to smash their foes.

That's just how teenagers dress, sometimes.
Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars Y. Yomogi Asanaka from SSSS.Dynazenon (2021) and Akira Hibiki from Reideen the Brave (1975) are standing side by side, dressed in relatively typical clothes one might expect a teenager from their respective eras to be wearing. Akira is responding to a question that Yomogi had about the Battle Team: "Yeah. Combattler V stood with us against the Yoma Empire, and I helped them fight the Campbellians."

So, is Hideaki Anno a Reideen the Brave fan? I already know about his interest in Gundam, Ultraman, Godzilla, and the like.

Also, why isn't this Rei recruitable as a pilot? Her backstory sounds pretty interesting!
Screenshot from Super Robot Wars Y of the character profile of Rei Asuka from Reideen the Brave. She has short red hair, and wears a red uniform with a high orange collar and an orange 'M' on the chest. An excerpt of her written profile reads: "Though at first she rode on the Bluegar along with Chikara Shinguji to support Reideen, she later joined Ichiro Hibiki on his quest to Tibet to locate Akira's mother, Reiko Hibiki. Before joining the Co-oplanders she spent some time as a member of a motorcycle gang, as well as a period as a nun in a nunnery>" Both her name "Rei Asuka" and the portion of the profile that begins with "Before joining..." are circled in hot pink.

God, I *wish* it worked like that.

Some actual screenshots from Super Robot Wars 30 for anyone previously unaware that Super Robot Wars (T and 30 only at this time) has Magic Knight Rayearth in the roster:
Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars 30, depicting the cafeteria area of the battlleship Dreisstrager. There are two people in the scene, Benkei Kuruma from Getter Robo Armageddon and Hikaru Shidou from Magic Knight Rayearth. They are facing towards the player and talking to each other VN-style, with Hikaru highlighted to indicate she's currently speaking. Below is a text box with Hikaru's dialogue, which reads, 「No, not at all! I can tell all of you in the Getter Team are exactly who we need as role models!」 The context of the scene is that the Getter Team, a trio of violent super robot pilots who have defeated dinosaur people and multiple kinds of monstrous aliens, are facing their greatest challenge yet - the revelation that the Magic Knights, a trio of isekai mecha-piloting magical girls, are fangirls and wish to be their pupils. Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars 30, depicting Combined Rune God Rayearth, the combined form of the Rune Gods Selece, Windam, and Rayearth, aflight against a greenish-yellow background. It is about to launch the attack Spiral Flash against an opponent. At the bottom is a text box containing dialogue from Hikaru Shidou, one of the pilots: 「Together, we can do this!」 Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars 30, depicting a battlefield at night with tiny trees and hills in the background. The scene is focused on Giant Sang Yung, a pictomantic giant created by Lady Aska of Fahren, based on her servant and childhood friend, Sang Yung. Giant Sang Yung's hands are balled into fists, its eyes glaring, and its mouth set in a grimace, a reflection of its creator's emotions during battle. Giant Sang Yung's status bar in the top left corner indicates it currently has 35,558 HP and 200 EN. Its opponent, currently offscreen, is Sky God Windam, piloted by Fuu Hououji. Its status bar in the upper right indicates it currently has 7,600 HP and 282 EN. On the bottom is a text box containing Aska's dialogue: 「Even the Legendary Rune Gods can't match up to the Giant Sang Yung!」 Screenshot from the videogame Super Robot Wars 30 depicting a battle pre-engagement - Banagher Links from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative is piloting Silver Bullet Suppressor, and is about to fight a mosquito-like monster from Magic Knight Rayearth, while Fuu Hououji from Magic Knight Rayearth is piloting Sky God Windam and will assist Banagher with a support attack. There are a lot of statistics and numbers on screen, listing HP, EN, Hit %, Attack Power, Morale, SP, and Lv. The most important parts are that Banagher has a 100% chance to hit with his Beam Magnum attack, Fuu has a 100% chance to hit with her Emerald Typhoon support attack which is also marked with 'Shoot Down' meaning that it will defeat the enemy, and the mosquito monster doesn't even have the option to counterattack (most likely because it's out of range).
