I like this new pilot introduced in the latest episode

Otherwise, not bad. I hope Aida can get over captain Cahill's death soon as it's been haunting her mind ever since.

~~DuelGundam2099~~ · 2014-10-23, 18:00

I think the Megafauna has become my new favorite ship in the Gundam franchise. Also, why is Gravilion from SRW The Inspector here?

Galaxian · 2014-10-23, 18:44

I was actually able to follow most of this episode and it's the first one in this series that I can consider "good". Also, I like Lieutenant Klim character, he's arrogant but not dismissive of Bel's abilities.

On the other hand, the whole Cahill thing is starting to get annoying...

One last note, I think this episode covers the last remaining footage from the opening

brightman · 2014-10-23, 19:12

Great ep! Once again I find the lightheartedness of this quite hilarious. Tomino's definitely going for a fun adventure type of mood with this show.

Seems like a lot of what we've been speculating and interpreting regarding the past few episodes are confirmed, including:

Bellri and Noredo are indeed spying on the Megafauna and have a plan to take the G-Self back, with Bellri doing it on behalf of the Capital Guard.
On the other hand, Bellri is still feeling guilty about Cahill so there's that sense of responsibility for him for protecting the ship
Him and his mother definitely DON'T trust the Capital Army at all and don't think they should exist ("The Capital Army shouldn't have these machines!"). Hope nothing bad happens to Wilmit, but knowing Tomino, a gruesome death awaits the protag's mom
Kunpa is indeed using this excuse of rescuing Bellri to continue to build up the military... Wonder if Bellri & co. realize that they are being used.
Aida is really using her calmness as a mask but she is still grieving and quite pissed at Bellri still.

Seems like also that psychic mask thing really turns you into some kind of crazy artificial Newtype-ish dude... How else can you explain what happened to Luin? Even Manny can't recognize him.

Also, RIP Dellensen, judging from the preview. (As I predicted...)

FlareKnight · 2014-10-23, 19:13

I did find it a bit odd how we spent that much time on the whole escape pod thing. Maybe the show was goofing around a bit too much with it flying around. Also kind of felt like they were going all One Piece with the water balls. Will using the air balls next unleash a tornado into the battlefield

?

Not a bad episode. At least getting that the Capital Army is really pushing their weapons development ahead and got some good action from the episode.

Impressed that the captured trio have enough sense to plan their escape and not just go with the flow here.

BoyTitan · 2014-10-23, 20:14

The battle was so good till the escape pod antics. Some one tell tomino to stop trying to be funny. Its like your grandpa making jokes you just laugh so the old guy doesn't feel bad.

I said similar thing two posts before yours.

Anyways, Klim is weaksauce in hand-2-hand combat(lose against a Cadet).

He and Bell had hiliarious conversations over rank and joining the Amerian Army.

I remember that (and I've seen many people make that prediction), but I guess I was more referencing the prediction that Bellri will be the one to kill them both, which seems like it'll come true.

BTW... If the top of the Capital Tower is connected to Towasanga, and Towasanga is on the moon... How does that work exactly? Very curious.

Rising Dragon · 2014-10-23, 20:36

Space magic, probably.

Death Usagi · 2014-10-23, 22:19

Feels so weird how they talk about running away so easily... =w=

Inb4 Bell's mother's death soon... (similar to Gundam Z)

Wandering Soul · 2014-10-23, 23:43

It was nice to see that they actually are planning to escape and not just going to go along with the group. It's also great that Klim is arrogant but also can acknowledge others.

After seeing what the water ball did I have to wonder what the air ball does. It was also a bit ridiculous how Belir was still piloting the G self with that guy attached to the window.

Benigmatica · 2014-10-24, 00:12

Well, it's a surprise that this show has a Char Clone. Still, it's funny that Bellri just bombed Luin with a water ball during his Core Fighter antics...

There was plenty to laugh about in this episode, though probably unintentionally:

-How that mechanic is talking about the water balls, and Bell just leaves while he's talking mid-sentence to join Klim/Rara/Noredo to the bridge.

-Bell being vocal about the Captain's plans resulting in Klim ending up in a grapple lock. Got to give some points to Klim for honestly acknowledging Bell's skills, true, but the way NOBODY helped him out just seemed hilarious. Guess he's not a prisoner anymore.

-Showing Aida saddened by Cahill's death and her crying in the background while some random mechanics are doing their job, albeit in a silly way.(Reminds me of the quote by Prime Minister Rowen J. Ilbert; "as sad as times like these are, the world still marches on.").

Think I'm going to have to rewatch every episode. I'm losing track of what is really going on here =0<. Or is this just typical Tomino at work?

Esclair · 2014-10-24, 00:51

The battle was pretty awesome. Although I don't quite get why Aida is so willing to let Bellri pilot the G-self when she can also pilot it. It was supposed to be her machine wasn't it?

I feel like the show would have made a lot more sense if Bellri's view of the Capital Army was a lot more obvious. He's way too happy go lucky towards everything and doesn't really seem to dwell on issues for very long, so it's not very clear that he doesn't like the Capital Army.

In general, everyone is just waaay too chill about everything which causes there to be very little tension.

It's the G-Arcane that's supposed to be Aida's.

Raraiya brought the G-Self from space while the Capital Guard and the pirates were fighting for it, and Raraiya was not a pirate. Aida just so happened to use the G-Self during that raid on the cord because she was the only one who could use it.

hamazura · 2014-10-24, 03:00

...luin lee? lol

wm4 · 2014-10-24, 04:09

At least the fighting scenes are better than last EP4.

Lenox · 2014-10-24, 04:58

This show has wonderful art and animation but horrible presentation, I mean most of the characters seem to act like.. I don't know puppets or something. I had such high expectations after Unicorn Gundam Oh well Ill still watch for the action but I'm not expecting much from the story or characters.

Matlida is demoted.

She was a command officer in 0079, but she had
to go out and run an MS now.
