Reader’s Question:
I just found out that “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” has been airing without me realizing it. When I checked the TV schedule, I saw it was paired with a show called “Ueda to Onna DEEP.” How is anyone supposed to understand that? Why are they airing them together?
My Thoughts
on the Gundam and Ueda to Onna DEEP Pairing
So, I was just scrolling through my TV schedule the other day when I stumbled upon the fact that “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” was airing. Honestly, I felt like I’d been living under a rock! But what really caught my attention was that it was paired with this show called “Ueda to Onna DEEP.” I mean, what kind of pairing is that? At first, I thought it was some sort of mistake. I remember a couple of years ago when I was trying to catch up on my favorite shows. I had my trusty recorder set up, thinking I was gonna have a binge-watching marathon on the weekend. But then, I missed an entire episode just because I didn’t realize that the scheduling had changed. It was a total nightmare! I even reached out to the show’s website, thinking maybe I could get some clarity on why they decided to pair these two seemingly unrelated shows together. It felt like trying to solve a puzzle where half the pieces were missing. What’s even funnier is that I started seeing chatter online about this odd coupling. I thought, “Am I the only one who finds this bizarre?” I started reminiscing about my childhood in Osaka, where I would eagerly await each new episode of whatever anime was on. Back then, it was all about excitement and discovering new worlds. Now, it feels like a game of hide and seek just to keep up! I can’t help but feel a bit sympathetic for those who rely on automatic recording features. You know, those folks who might not catch the buzz online or have parents who limit their internet usage? They’re probably going to miss out on some epic Gundam battles just because they didn’t realize it was airing. I mean, come on, how hard would it have been to give a heads-up on the anime’s official website? I also remember when I was in college, and we had these last-minute schedule changes for our classes. I’d show up too early, thinking I was being responsible, only to find out class was canceled. I would just sit there, munching on snacks, feeling like the world’s biggest goofball. As for this Gundam situation, I can only hope they sort it out before the Golden Week. The last thing I want is for my recorder to accidentally catch the wrong show while I’m away visiting family. I mean, if I’m missing out on my beloved Gundam, then what’s the point of even having a recorder, right? But hey, if you’re lucky enough to catch it on BS, at least you won’t have to worry about the pairing! It’s kind of funny when you think about it—like a secret club of people who actually know what’s happening. Anyway, it’s a great reminder for all of us to check our schedules more closely. So, how about you? Have you ever missed a show because of a strange scheduling twist? Or maybe you have some tips for keeping track of your favorite programs? I’d love to hear your stories!
