Thats not a Gundam, thats a freakin' colony by itself, you can fit the damn Albion into it! Nice shoulder pads you got there, typically early 90's, heh.

DENDROBRUIM! Thanks Lucette!

You know, I feel dumb. It must be my inability to follow things but I'm having trouble understanding what's going on aside from the Colony going to Earth. It's hard to explain. It's just, I watch and read, and I get mixed up.

Today on 0083: military stupidity, Lucette dies trying to protect Kou, and a possible love-triangle conflict is introduced. Really, can it get more ridiculous?

It can, Gato's new uber mecha is able to reflect battleship lasers. Is this still a real-robot show?

Nina you naughty girl. It seem you have been playing around.

Wtf? Are mobile armors really that huge? It's almost as big as a freaking battleship!

Lucette died in a stupid way. Well, that's Gundam...

Nice plan! I didn't see that coming.

Make it stop! Although the whole random love-triangle conflict thing is somewhat common in Gundam series.....hmmm now that i think about it military stupidity is common as well xD

Isn't that just a Gundam docked with extra unit just like Freedom with METEOR?

I had a nice chuckle at Unit 3. It looks less like a Gundam and more like some mutant creature from a bad sci-fi movie that absorbed a Gundam.

Sad episode though everything went by fast.

Neue Ziele looks like Char Sazabi in mobile armor mode from Char's Counterattack.

And yeah, Mark III kinda looks like a mini Gundam piloting a bulky as mobile armor.

Those stupid Federation only cares about maintaining political power.

I also thought Lucette will do something crazy that might make Nina jealous of Kou. But it seems she just wants Kou to pilot Mark III no matter what.

Damn Nakato shot her like that. Should have killed him on the spot.

I also can't believe Nina used to be lovers with Gato. How the hell did that happened? They could have at least showed Nina talking about Gato to Mora or someone.

So Kou get's Gato's girl, but i guess he's more fixated to Operation Stardust than her.

Still how the hell can Kou pilot Mark III the first time, not to mention calibrating it and balancing it during battle?

At least we'll be seeing Kou vs Gato showdown one more time.

Last 2 episodes T___T

It was hinted that Nina was friendly with some Zeeks for a while now. Guess Gato and her being lovers in the past is something new to the table, but that perfectly explains why she didn't want Kou to fight.

Miss "Eau de vie" made me smile twice: first time when she introduced herself (this Gundam won the award for best names, "eau de vie", "synapse" and "burning" xD) and then when she jumped under a gun shot. Her death was stupid. By the way, her perfect body wasn't even a surprise.
This federation high-rank was the worst in the show. And there is no place for a black man in the Army high spheres, it seems.

New Ziele might be an offspring of the Big Zam, seeing how big it is and its resistance to beams.
The Gundam Sangoki... seriously? Is this a Gundam ? It is way too big. And that equipment -_-

The truth about the colony drop makes things a lot clearer, it would have been so s trange to kill its own allies. And my interrogation about Nina and Kelly is also answered. The "love triangle" seems a little forced but it was prepared (not like an older crush borned on the White Base)

And now? Maybe a full action episode then the last one would feature some Kô/Nina drama (I want to see Uraki's reaction to the news!) after what she would die ?

4/5

edit: I can't even imagine Gato in love... he is so fanatic, his head is full of Zeonism, honour and pride.

edit: the Axis is "neutral"?! And the Fédération knows them!!? What is wrong with them? Why do they let Zeon "survivors" rebuild their forces and an HQ like that? o_o



March 14, 2017
@Sapewloth : Not sure anymore but I think that the Axis was out of reach, hidden among the asteroid belt far away from the usual near-moon colony plants. At leadt, in Tomino's world. I guess this kind of weirdness is bound to happen when multiple writers try to have their way into an already existing story, one where the main creator had the world more exposed in his mind than on the screen (and with its own share of idiocies too, sadly)

You've got to love those moments when the lack of thinking or sudden changes through a lengthy production course (those are OAVs) appears on screen.

And to make matters worse, in the end come up with the news? Yay! I do not think you can complain about, everything works well and no doubt, dragged a little, trovan the square. Just a shame that the video affected age, there are small imperfections, the rest is great, perhaps the death of Lucette Audevie, is a bit of a joke in bad taste, how it happened, oh well! It arrived, the day of reckoning.

The "sacrifice" was beyond forced and a love-triangle was introduced (not out of the blue since it was foreshadowed like one episode ago but still). This better not mean Nina will get in the way of Gato and Uraki's fight, otherwise I'm gonna have a hard time giving this show more than a rock solid 5. I also don't understand the thing with Axis and why the Feddies would just let them rebuild their forces (since that's what they're eventually gonna do) right under their nose, so I'm just gonna assume it was a stupid mistake on the writers' part and scrap that shit from canon.

Oh btw, will we ever know why and how Nina came to know Kelly, the one-armed pilot?

Apparently not only Kou but also Gato gets a new toy. I actually didn't expect Axis to debut as a neutral side.

I don't know why I noticed this but when Nina and others boarded La Vie en Rose, there essentially were 3 women with 3 different earrings in one scene, and I thought, "wouldn't it be great if the shape and color of their earrings reflected their personalities? Blue sphere for shy, indecisive and kind, red triangle for bold, brave and active, green waterdrop for...something?"

LOL Kou had no problem talking with Lucette while in his bathrobe but friendzoned Nina to "get dressed" xD
Also this guy at La Vie en Rose was totally evil, a would-be Titan, I swear. It'd be better if the Fed soldier who looked shocked after Lucette was shot by his superior turned his gun against that officer and pulled the trigger. Also Lucette should've just pressed the button to open the hatch lol (if it's possible) instead of jumping to her death.

Nina had a love affair with Gato! Now it can't be revealed without consequenses and she'll probably ruin everything or maybe one of them will kill her in action like with Lalah.

P.S. Wait, Nina actually SAW Gato stealing the Gundam in ep. 1 and...didn't recognize him despite having a love affair with him 3 years ago? Okay.

It's cool to see La Vie En Rose again. I like Delaz's plan, the Federation really got tricked into wasting their fuel and they don't have enough ships after Gato's attack.

Why exactly Nakato didn't want Kou to pilot the third Gundam? Because Kou destroys all the Gundams?

The romance is bad. Make it stop.

Lucette was better than Nina so of course she had to die :(

As if the romance in this show wasn't already dumb enough as it is (as every Gundam romance I've seen so far has been, actually), now it's turning into another goddamn love triangle.

Just.... why? Who asked for shitty romance subplots in these space military, mecha anime?
