It was sooo epic! I enjoyed watching it. And the end of the colony was quite emotional... :'(

oh my god x)

this is like Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 meets Code Geass

I think they forgot to add the jamming particles then it would have been a 100% copy of 0079 lol

Absolutely agree with you. So far it seems to follow good old formula used since 0079 - war between two factions, some random colony becomes a battlefield, most of it's defense forces are annihilated and some random boy get's a chance to become a hero. But it's fun to watch anyway.

Coordinator = Newtype

Destruction of Heliopolis = Destruction of Side 7

Kira is being ass about piloting Guntam = Amuro being asshole about piloting Gundam

Still interesting though.

But a major change: Ramius = Bright xD

Quite good episode but I haven't thought they would destroy the colony~ It was stupid from the start that the Federation brought the gundam to Heliopolis. They should have though that Zaft would go after them to destroy it :/

Giving scenes of random mobile suits exploding the redrawn and HD treatment was pretty hilarious. Kira is less compelling of an anatagonist than Flit, Flit wanted to pilot Gundam and was all gung ho about it, Kira is not willing and afraid of war, Flit was welcomed to Pilot it by the commander, this commander was against it. Hard to favor Seed more. Regardless in both cases, why are the fighters always abandoned by the main forces, Strike gets no backup?!

Well yeah he doesn't want to fight, he fled to this neutral colony so he wouldn't be forced into battle. Then he decided to save the woman and what does he get for it? Held hostage at gunpoint by her, uses Kira's friends as hostages and that forced him to pilot the Gundam to protect them, and then they get dragged on Whitebase. I'd be pissed if I was Kira too.

And oh yeah his other friend is trying to shoot him down.

This show is bringing in a very nice 0079 Gundam vibe. Can't wait for more.

It's very much MSG but with modern animation. I wonder how long before the first slap.

So he's a first gen coordinator. Why on earth would his parents mess with his genes I'll never know, but it's keeping him alive so it's all good I guess.

Fighting inside a colony is playing kind of dirty could get killed via collateral damage. I'm pretty sure not everyone could have made it to a safe haven/escape pod.

Don't you hate it when the citizens have to pay for mistakes and decisions made by the power-hungry individuals at the top?

In any case, we see our first character death in the series. Sayonara Miguel! He wasn't really a major char or anything so I didn't feel much. Just training fodder for Kira I suppose.

Episode in which the protagonist has made me more than a little nervous, with absurd is stupid reasons, even though they were plausible in a sense his words.
Narration, plot, drawings and animations all nice and well done!
While many déjà vu, this show is great, can not wait to review the remastered in HD!

i love how protective his friends are of him being a coordinator. good friends. BRUH. that talk kuzzey had about kira in the beginning of the episode got me a little teary, that was such a good discussion and i don't know how to explain it. it was interesting and kind of like i got a realistic perspective from a regular natural... i feel really proud that the OS kira rewrote makes it hard for anyone else to pilot it. tolle and his gf :(

miguel getting shot down, actually more accurately, killed though. it was a enemy nobody but still regrettable. AMAZING EPISODE. i haven't even watched 10 episodes and i already know it's a hallmark in my mind. that athrun and kira rivalry going on is so painful in the best way, goddamn it.

So my boy Kira rewrote the OS and made it so nobody but him can operate it... somehow this doesn't seem very handy in any situation. Imagine Kira just goes and dies, nobody on that side would be able to pilot the damn thing, lol.

Another intense and emotional episode, I love it when it transitions into the outro.

the orchestration of scenes and the pacing of the show is giving me real One Piece vibes and the god tier cliffhangers fit the description as well

I knew it!! Kira is a coordinator and now it's time for coordinator vs coordinator.

Miguel become the first victim of kira yamato and since he's a gundam protagonist, there'll be more to come....

I like the war, disaster, and drama that come out of the gate like this, like built up from an apocalyptic war and straight into the Gundam battle rather than slowly building toward the war across multiple episodes like other series. I’ve found it enjoyable from the start so far and I’m looking forward to more.
