^^^^I agree. There are so much more that could have been done if we are given more episodes. Unfortunately, we didn't. For me, basing on what was happening in ep 23 and the tweets that they are posting, I was sure that it will be the last episode. 1 ep for 24-25 mins, that's an awful little time to fit all the narratives that are left to be explored. So I went into ep 24 with low expectations and got happy after. (At this point of my life, I just want to have happy things and not stress over the stuff I can't control.)
On the Lauda arc, it felt to me that it came out of nowhere, though I might've just missed the clues. Maybe they just pushed those scenes to showcase Schwarzette more. You know, monies lol. If that's the case, then it's just sad that other better arcs are axed to make way for this.
I haven't watched a lot of Gundam shows so I am just basing on people's accounts. I am taking in your accounts as well. So maybe it's because the MCs are both female so the explicit scenes are much, much less likely. We got a long way to go for non-hetero ships for main franchises it seems. At least we can treat this as a step closer to getting better queer shows, especially those from JP. Like big anime franchises or super popular anime/manga with queer MCs.

So happy for them!!! I thank all the people who pushed through for them to not die and to get married. May you have good health and lots of money :D

I am satisfied on what we had - they are both alive and they got married - despite the circumstances the show had like the 5PM timeslot, being in a mainstream franchise, and JP still not legalizing or even recognizing same-sex marriage. I imagine execs also had a hand on how many episodes we had. The writers and the other people behind just did what they could on what they had. (Regarding the timeslot, i read somewhere [can't find the source anymore] that ep 12 tomato smash scene received complaints from the parents to the tv regulatory board because of the violence lol but it's gundam).
Is it better if we had more episodes? Hell, yeah!
Maybe if we could have an OVA, they could expound on those loose/unsatisfying points without worrying about certain constraints such as consideration of the timeslot audience.
Honestly, if I didn't understand what the writers are intending you to take from it, I'd just call it a platonic relationship coming through arranged marriage (duel stuff is a twisted version of that).
Maybe they intended it to be that way so other people that are not fond of f/f relationship can still somewhat digest it. "such great best friends!"
