Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
"Faces of a Summer, Nora Malakian 1995"
The friendly and exalted Nora, an expression of total freedom that sometimes clashed with the naiveté of adolescence.

"Well, now that this season is over, for me, in terms of storytelling, it could have been better. It has its interesting points, especially towards the end with the different universes, but it doesn't make up for the lack of development, especially with the characters. The protagonist, while likable, feels a bit hollow, not to mention the others. It's an interesting season, but it's very condensed. The mobile suit designs are great, though. There are some surprising revelations and WTF moments, like Amuro inside the Eva, I mean the Gundam (?). The final battle against that giant white RX-78 was good, but it doesn't make up for everything that's lacking. Still, it was enjoyable, and it reminded me of Hideo Kojima's style of throwing in things that break the mold and seem nonsensical. It has its charm. Apparently, there's going to be another season, hopefully they'll improve the narrative and also create more memorable music."

Amuro is coming (?)
What a crazy episode! Honestly, I have my biggest complaints about this season of Gundam, regarding the characters, the story at the beginning, that strange mix of old and new, but this episode, I actually end up liking it more.
Since episode 7, I've seen an improvement. I feel like there's not enough time to explain several things, but oh well. Ending was really crazy; seeing the RX 78-2 coming from the other side like that is wonderful. Not to mention the credits song, Beyond the Time, brings back all the nostalgia.
Let's see what other surprises the final ending has in store for us.

Autumn Lockhart 1995
Autumn is a really interesting character, and she looked great in ’95. She’s careful, smart, and nice. I didn’t like her much before, but now I think she’s a really likable character.She loved the girls,in her own way

As for the interview with Michel, the possibilities are open. I consider this project a reinvention in the way we tell stories and as such, a direct sequel would be a correct and necessary way to continue Lost Records.
However, the abyss and all the mystery surrounding it are a great starting point for an anthology, where I believe the characters from Tape 1 can still coexist—especially Kat and Swann, for obvious reasons. I don’t agree that Tape 1 is completely concluded, but I respect the director’s vision.
On a personal level, I think continuing the game from scratch with new characters, leaving Kat and Swann aside, or simply remembering them in a newspaper clipping, would be a mistake. I love the mystery, but there are things that, due to the way they are presented, should have a real outcome; not everything is free interpretation. Well, that's my opinion about a work I truly appreciate, and in which I have hope that Don't Nod will do something good again.
Another interesting thing is the number of references in the game, as well as objects that give rise to theories. This is definitely something I consider a bridge resource, because they're the bridge through which the director can take an idea and then expand on it in future installments. I hope that includes Swann and Kat. obviously.
