Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (TV)

Never thought I'd dread hearing the Happy Birthday song.

Edit:

I went back and watched a few old episodes:

-When Ericht used the Lfrith as a toddler, she exhibited the blue "face rash" as opposed to the red one that the others suffer from data storm. Suletta doesn't exhibit any while piloting Ariel.

-Even back in episode 00, they mentioned stuff like "talk to her" and "waking her up" (referring to Lfrith). The old doctor also said that Lfrith was special, and represents the future of Gundam, and humanity's survival in space - not mere weapons like the other two suits (that got destroyed in battle).

I agree with Ryll that there's reasonable suspicion to think that there's some biological implantations within the special Gundams. One of the critiques if Gund-Arms in episode 00 suggested how unnatural it is for an inorganic machine to be controlled by human brain. What if Gundams were the next evolution of humanity - not just cyborgs but actual human brains implanted in a mobile suit?

We're also now privy of the fact that faceswap technology is perfected in this universe. Look-alikes don't have to be clones. Plastic surgery alone can do this.
