Ooo, that little speech there was kinda noticeable.

Obviously, I was cheering for Team Rabbits this battle. Speaking of which, the battle is getting a bit more intense than I had thought. Some of it reminds me of SEED while others reminds me of good out fashioned fight.

Now this episode was much better than the last one. The action, tension, everything was better. And I called it back in episode 21 that the moment I saw Simon take that gigantic thing into space, he was going to have to use kamikaze style and destroy the gate.

Jiart and Izuru have come out to fight, and Teoria has come out to do her best Lacus-clone impression and asks everyone to stop fighting. Well, have to see where this goes for the last episode of the series will take us. Will it knock this show out of the park? Or will it just end on a light, mediocre note, making the series an okay way to spend your time, but still more or less forgettable in the long run?

We will see next week! I give this episode an 8/10.

What a very formidable gate. Tsk tsk. I was waiting for a more badass transformation from Izuru the whole time. Maybe next week. But good episode. Tension is increasing!

I thought this was a bad ass episode. Full out war, and everybody giving their best. Shit got real when Izuru showed up. Now that he awaken I hope things get even more intense.

And finally Izuru joins the battle. I love how he just kept saying onii-chan whenever things looked bad for Asagi. And Theoria showing up...okay. One more episode! Izuru looks like some sort of growling animal in the end after being fully awakened. I also kind of liked his speech.

Intense action. I'm really getting the feeling that they'll try to do a S2 or a followup OVA. I mean at the pace this battle is going they can destroy the gate next episode ( and probably Commander Simon aka Papa-san will probably die), but not much else.

Is it just me, or have Theoria's boobs grown with each passing episode?

Izuru finally makes it to the battlefield.

Izuru's speech was kind of funny with him mentioning his manga and how he won't die,probably XD.

Theoria and Daniel show up in their mecha.

And Simon is going with a suicide tactic and is going to ram the Star Rose into the gate.

Izuru transforms and his real fight with Jiart begins next episode.Can't wait!

Only one episode left.Hoping for a season 2 but not sure how that play out.

Didn't think it would take long for Izuru to head out once Jihart entered the fight but man this is one heck of a up hill fight for the Earth Forces, every time they gain any kind of momentum the Wulgaru forces just go "nope".

Izuru's awakening was pretty awesome though, show has been awesome for action so far, hopefully they keep that up for this last battle.

I liked the episode, probably the most we have ever seen. My only complaint was a lack of emphasis of Izuru's 2nd Awakening, we knew it was happening, but it kept getting cut off. Not even a epic animation like it's 1st appearance.

Damn, this episode went by really fast. Izuru became badass once again and things are heating when fighting against Jiart. Let's see how they wrap things up in the final episode.

Izuru's "I love you" profession caught me off guard for a second, until he lead it to include the entire crew and team, which wasn't too unexpected from his character. I liked the captain's blush when he said it though.

Cool your engines. There was no preaching of what was right or wrong or anything of the sort in this episode. All she stated was her birthright, and gave them the order to retreat (...or else she'll fight in her mech herself?)

Besides, it's not like she started singing in the middle of the fray, with lasers and bullets flying in all directions, for no apparent reason other than to woo the enemy...unlike several other anime titles...

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Great action packed episode. Still wondering how the earth forces lost all their momentum since they had ambushed the aliens the moment they exited the gate and they were winning the battle at first.

5/5

I find that the script is proving to be well made. The clashes and the technicalities put in place, raise the pathos and as for me, kept me glued to the monitor.
The drawings "maybe" I am not the best this time, damn!
Tomorrow everything will be finished, I'm sad!

Lasers! Yay!

Teoria finally launched. She seems legit, though I'd still like to think shes not just some pacifist.

Conspiracy theory / wishful thinking:

In an earlier episode they said nobody had been out so far in the solar system... now the entire fleet is out there like it's nothing... ok...

I have to say... the strategies here is not really that much related to Gundams. This is more super robot Plot then a real robot plot.

They really are willing to sacrifice everything to destroy that gate. All the more reason Izuru should've been permitted to pilot his mech earlier.
