| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- And someone FINALLY got around to punching that Kai guy. What the hell is he doing on the bridge anyway? That Gundam needs an extra battery or it is gonna suck big time in future episodes. xD Interesting episode but... I see an army on the preview? Are they getting desperate to catch White Base already? xD |
| lol, Amuro's plan failed, hard. Too bad he didn't know to do a barrel roll or he could have made it into space. So the people in the colonies were forced to evacuate earth, huh? And the people who got to stay behind were the rich... interesting, I'm curious to know more about the history behind the Federation and Zeon. Yeah the Gundam needs a backpack or something, it runs out of missiles and plasma cells in every episode, srsly. At any rate, despite the cheesy music and cartoony grafix, this series is surpassing my expectations. |
 |
| Well actually Kai just tells the truth, he is jerk about it, but has he been wrong? So the old people revolt, then decide not to, did I miss a reconciliation? |

| Amuro's plan failed and Garman managed to get some precious information about Gundam's abilities. I'm really curious about how are they gonna develop their Mobile Suits in order to defeat Gundam.... |
 |
| Char = Awesome |
| The old people really made me rage. How stupid can they be? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| lol Kai is awesome. Seriously. |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |

| F those old people. Like seriously shut up. And Kai is pretty sick. |

| Yes, Kai is epic. He just says what situation is without trying to make it look better than what it is. Why is everyone hitting him? I wonder what would happen to those old folk if they were put into Zeon territory and Zeon found them? Since they were in White Base I guess they would be interrogated and maybe tortured. Not sure what Zeon's stance is to torture and how humane they are. Char seems to be good guy, but he only who we have seen for long perioid of time. |

| Freefall battle! |
| Another ace episode!! Lol all that plan, only to fail a few minutes on air XD Kai got what he deserves. Should have STFU instead of provoking everyone and making the situation worse that it is. I'm glad Sayla is there to calm Amuro. Despite Amuro still being mean towards her, at least she can calm him in the most intense of situations. Char continues to get frustrated in each battle. Gundam has a lot of potential for sure ^^ And those damn old selfish people. Why don't they just drop them on air if they really badly want to walk on earth. Annoying old people like this who doesn't care for what their situation and only care for themselves makes me sick. Lol Mirai Yashima just but in and told Amuro to have a tea in the middle of arguing with the old people XD Yay each episode we always have a battle with Zeon! Can't wait for the next episode! |
| That punch from Bright was on point. |
| Silly dumb old people. They aren't grateful enough. I kinda like Kai, even if he is a douche, he's kind of fun to have around. Amuro and Char continue to be cool characters, and Amuro even tells the old people off which is damn awesome. Cool episode. |

| Nothing really happened in this episode, huh? This just seems like a transition episode, mostly... Also, @Zarnaav: no worries... I also don't like Kai, he seems like a total jerk thus far. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| The green Zeon fighters look like ducks from the side. Quack, quack, quack. |
  |
| And thus Kai demonstrates why being snide and trolling in real life is a bad idea. Even though it's subtle, I do think this crew has a lot of potential for character development. Other than Amuro- Sayla, Fraw Bow, Kai, and the Lieutenant (his name escapes me) all seem to have good development potential. Maybe Hayato too. It's a shame the plan failed; Federation help would be quite welcome at this point. I find it interesting that Char went out himself to stop the Core Fighter despite being in such a lightly armed/armored ship. The old people are irritating. They would feel really "smart" if the crew did/does let them off in Zeon territory, only to end up tortured, killed, or imprisoned. Even though it's not being talked about much, I'm liking the contribution the Minovsky Particles give to the series; that is, they make visual range a requirement for combat, which wouldn't be necessary without something like them. |

Tsukaji said: Yes, Kai is epic. He just says what situation is without trying to make it look better than what it is. Why is everyone hitting him? Are you fucking kidding me? In the situation that they're in, the attitude that Kai has is NOT conducive to a good outcome (win the battle/war or even surviving). You just don't say that sort of shit. There's a time and place for it. |

| Engaging, the story does not fully reflect what we saw in SEED, but the story broadly follows those seen in it, Amuro feels overwhelmed by his responsibilities, but whines, a point in its favor. Directed interesting, the plot is handled in a more than satisfactory. |
 |
| Kai is awesome, but he had that one coming for awhile now. Those old farts also deserved a few too. We want to feel the ground again. Okay so let's land and all of us die, good idea. |
 |
| Decent development, a bit on the slow side but still great development! |
 |
| Kai deserved that punch, but I still like the guy for some reason. Amuro Ray Kill Count: 0 Mobile Suit kills this episode 11 kills total. |
| I seriously wanted to punch those old people this episode! At least i can definitely say im in to this now. |
| Someone should tell those refugees they're gonna end up UNDERground if they keep up. Also, Kai does feel like a typical internet troll. Too bad the punch didn't leave a mark. |
| Bright was definitely MVP this episode for punching Kai. But Kai wasn't half as bad as the elders... really? Taking children hostage? I bet tea tastes really good after a Mobile Suit battle. |
| I'm glad that Bright gave Kai a poke in the mouth, for it was long deserved. They still haven't managed to get out of Zeon airspace. Hopefully they will get out soon. |
 |
| Those elders are pretty stupid if you ask me. They’re in the middle of combat and they’re asking bright and the others to land. |
| Damn, Amuro was working that control stick hard. |
 |
| Pretty exciting episode that broke up the monotony with basically no mobile suits, Amuro really wearing out, and a dramatic escape. Also Kai kept pushing it even after people kept telling him to stop, and then he whined when Bright hit him. What an ass. While the older folks were doing some extreme stuff, I don't see this as particularly unrealistic seeing how determined older people can be to hang on to freedoms and such. For example, my grandmother keeps driving despite having some serious vision problems and everyone telling her to stop until she gets cataract surgery. It puts people at risk, but the desire to retain autonomy is what fuels her. |
| Seriously, they should leave those people out there since they want that. They are not in a position to demand anything or to take hostages (also they're being treated well and are even being fed). Amuro's plan failed but at least he's alive after that intense battle. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| The characters feel as though they have begun having far more distinct voices. From Amuro's rampage and exhaustion last episode or holding back concern for Fraw Bow or Kai's clash with Amuro and Bright, to Char and Garma's competitive and intimate relationship. I felt the characterization in the past was effective to make everyone stand out, but it was still minimal. We are getting into the territory where I wouldn't call it minimal anymore. |
| idk if the geezers realize that the earth they left is not the earth they will land on. they're in for a real unpleasant surprise if they get dropped off in the middle of a war torn 3rd world and think they're gonna see the lake by their old house and their long dead wives smh. it's sad that this is their fate but they should be more realistic. i guess that's hard to do when the dementia starts to set in though. i feel for amuro's exhaustion i can see where shinjis inspiration came from he's got a lot on his shoulders and i'm sure he had no idea he would be so relied upon when he jumped into the gundam for the first time. poor little neet. |
 talk me down safe & sound too strung up to sleep ⋯⋯ ♬ ⋯⋯ overground, watch this space i'm open to falling from grace |
| Man, those old geezers were pretty selfish. Just let the soldiers to their job to save your ass, geez. Kai certainly didn't help either. Amuro's doing his best to save the day while putting his life on the line and he's making fun of him. Glad he got that bitch slap at least, lol. Char slowly seems to get desperate when it comes to the Gundam. That thing seems invincible. It just really needs more ammo. |
| bruh momentum!!! |

| Great suspense especially with a standoff on White Base and Amuro passing out. I'm starting to feel that the characters are becoming more fleshed out and it balances well with the action. Props to Bright for clocking Kai. |
| the elders claim to understand what their position is, and the current dilemma at stake... but the truth is that they don't understand a shit. not a single shit... senile, the lot of them. old geezers are like this in real life too. stubborn and dull, what do they think this is? taking hostage of children when they themselves can barely move without breaking a hip? give me a break. they're weaker than their "hostages". they're getting fed at no cost and being protected, but if they so desire to get tossed out then by all means... thankless amuro ray is starting to become my favorite character surprisingly, the more development into his personality we are shown. the voice acting delivers that raw anger and distraught tone all too well, it's highly amusing to replay. |
