Too much wasted time in filler, many plot holes and a clear pandering to the "current thing" if you want a decent cheesy gundam theres seed for you that at least have some big music actors doing voices for some episodes in japanese

I don't think that this anime has a pacing issue, I think it is slower and more juvenile drama until this episode to make a point. Half of the characters or more are kids and the previous episodes were intended for us to understand them as children. They had school rivalries and crushes. They have negligent and controlling parents. They were still learning and growing. Nodbody died in the duels. They didn't want to build gundams as arms, but to help people. But they're not in a slice of life high school setting, they're being trained to bluild and operate war machines for mega corporation interests. Most of them were war orphans. Now they can't keep ignoring the truth: mobile suits and gundams are build to kill. Now they're soldiers.

I wasn't ready for the after credits scene. I understand Miorine's reaction. Yes, Suletta did save her and her father, but she did so in a gruesome and coldblooded way. "I'm such a klutz" says the one piloting an overpowered machine.

That scene circles back to the start of the series, when Suletta and Aerial frustrated Miorine's escape attempt. Miorine didn't trust Suletta then for obvious reasons, will she trust her now? The girl that made her life bearable is a murderer, but also her savior.

One of the best final episodes of an anime I've ever seen. While the ending to the final fight might have been underwhelming, the fight itself is one of the prettiest ones I've seen in the series so far. There's a lot to get frustrated with about this final episode, but I think that's all overridden by the fact that we are guaranteed a second season at the end of the episode (which is already complete at the time of me reviewing this). Guess I have to watch season 2, now!

wow that final scene was so dark, i didn't expect something like that.
i understand that suletta did that to save Miorine, but that reaction was scary, it reminded me a little about Mikazuki from iron blooded orphans.
delling shielding Miorine with his body was unexpected, i don't know if he is alive or not at this point.
I think that Guel will never recover from that battle with his dad.
overall i loved this season, i'm super hyped for the next.

Suletta really annoyed me but at the end of episode 12 I saw her do ok, and Miorine in my opinion was a character who only knew how to rest for herself and at the end of episode 12 I didn't like her even more because I think everyone who sees that scene is confused but with a strong and intelligent personality It was necessary to do so, Suletta could have done it better because because he died in an instant so he didn't feel any pain.

Not changing my score for the series, but I will say that this turning point for the series, those high stakes and Suletta's struggles regarding the brutal realities of war are rather interesting.

This was an amazing conclusion to the first season! The episode dealt with themes of legacy and family, with Guel's father killed by his own son (who was trying to help Suletta), Delling wounded, and Suletta confronting her mother about violence and then following her violent footsteps. The Earth Witches fled, and the terrorists lost. Suletta is forever changed though, and the juxtaposition between the oft-more violent Miorine and her is now stark. Suletta really freaked me out in the last, post-credits scene. WTF! I hope that Suletta can retain her self and not become like the Earth Witches. Season 2, I'm guessing, will examine Suletta's relationship with her mother, her mother's past, and her own background. This is an amazing story!

Also little shout-out to Gundam 0079 reference with hanger 78.

Ah yes, trauma, death, and child soldiers, now this is a real Gundam show.

So far the season has been slow, as the show took its time establishing the characters and the central conflict. The dramatic finish to this season really gets me hyped up to finish season 2. From this episode onward, things are going to get rough.

Side note: Watching this right after the 079 movies made me appreciate this series and how far its come even more. I don't think I appreciated IBO when I first watched it, but now that I am more familiar with Gundam and am paying more attention, I realize just how good this series can be.
