Yeah, I don't know for sure how it relates to the older series really (since I have not delved far enough into it to start looking everything up) -- think it's all in the same setting but different series at different points in time? Or something. Quick glance at wikipedia seems to back this up.

Yeah I know! But it's like. I feel more in the way if I watch stuff in the evenings if you're trying to watch TV or write or whatever. OKAY I'M BEING STUPID I CAN HEAR MYSELF BEING STUPID OMG. I AM GOING TO GO BEAT MY HEAD AGAINST MY HALF-CONSTRUCTED WARDROBE NOW.

Also, Gundam -- I know I totally should've watched it with you to start with (D:) but you should see 00! And I should see Seed! And we should (re)watch Wing! >_>''''
