(Linked here through Tumblr; only about seven episodes in myself)
The music scene is INCREDIBLY gay, I love it. And Quatre is like 'come back some time soon, we can play together again!' which was super adorable.
I love love love the circus thing. TRADITIONS ARE IMPORTANT OKAY. At least the ones involving lions and stage makeup and giant tents and knives. Yeah.
And I am not surprised that your brain gets stuck on the circus! Giant robots & spaceships & etc. are totally expected in sci-fi. Circuses are NOT.
Prepare for FEELINGS ahead:
RELENA RELENA I LOVE RELENA of course I knew basically all of fandom hated her so I was determined to love her from the beginning, before I watched one second of the show. But I actually really like her characterization as a bored and kind of lonely rich kid, with lots of acquaintances but no close friends or people she really looks up to. And then a mysterious and good-looking person falls from the sky and steals an ambulance and shows up at her school; it makes sense that she goes I AM ON THIS SO HARD, and that she's not all that worried about dying, because this is literally the most interesting thing that's happened in her life. Her yelling for Heero to come & kill her actually makes sense too in that context, because goddammit he promised and that promise is the only thing she has to hold onto him with; if he leaves, she'll be right back to her boring life as a politician's neglected daughter, with no giant robots or car chases in sight. So although she could have stayed away and kept out of trouble, she really doesn't want that.
The meeting with Doctor J is really interesting too, I think, because it puts the name of Heero Yuy in not just a historical or background context but also a political one, which ties him into things she's familiar with.
So, idk, I don't think she's obsessed with Heero exactly? But she really, really wants what he represents: freedom, excitement, and ties to people on a personal level rather than just a political & polite one.
