Back atcha from a much less prevalent (on lemmy) sci-fi fandom.

ContextContext for the image requires spoilers from The Witch From Mercury, the latest entry in the long-running Gundam franchise. Also, nested spoilers work. Neat. ::: spoiler Actual spoiler The prologue ends with a 4-year old joyfully singing along to happy birthday with her father, while said father sacrifices himself to allow his wife and child to escape the politico-corporate slaughter of a research lab. This is reprised later in the show when a 17-year old sings happy birthday to a friend over the PA, not knowing that the friend was getting incinerated elsewhere because his usefulness as a clone pilot had ended.

ProselytizingAny Trekkie who isn’t all-in on the ANIME BAD bandwagon, I implore you to give Gundam a try. There are a variety of starting points (as with Trek) and I’ll be more than happy to field any questions. https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/67955a42-8eed-4b08-a05e-3b572a8074d7.webp
