Its going a bit slow but I guess all of this is needed for development of characters and further storyline. I'm actually very hopeful for how this is going to turn out. I really think they can go very far with this setting. Hopefully reaching earth is going to be done by no more than another 4-6 ep.

This show is criminally underrated here.


Well there are no lolis, no fanservice, no clingy (or cliche would be the better word?) romance etc.... I mean how can a show be good without those things ?

I figured he must moonlight as a child kidnapper.

His fiancée is 9 years old. Remember?

I figured he initially planned on giving that to her.

A friend of mine sent this quote from somebody on another forum to me and I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING LMAOOOO

Out of all the "stoic" Gundam leads we've had so far, Mika so far is hands down the best of them in terms of characterization: he doesn't angst needlessly, has a good head on his shoulders, and isn't afraid to show kindness when necessary, but at the same time he's also the most pragmatically brutal of the stoic leads. Sorry Setsuna, but there are people more Gundam than you now


This shit is 20/10 xDD But this guy is right tbh (Setsuna is still my fav tho =P)

1. The internet is already having a shipping war between mika and aina or mika and atra.

Wow there's already a shipping war? Why can't Mika have no love interest. I like the interactions between Mika and Aina though, as Mika opens Aina's eyes to the world.

And lol, Eureka Seven trio. Atra, Cookie, and Cracker aren't as annoying or stupid as those three, although I think we could do without all three on the ship. But it's been four episodes and they've showed up in almost all four, I would think that they are probably going to continue having screen time, somehow.

Fareed got the blonde hair, the custom version of the "Mook" mobile suit, and now lots of little girls. Now he just needs a mask and a little sister and he will be the "chariest" Char Clone.

I haven't' watched Eureka Seven, but if there is one thing Tomino's Gundams taught me is that no mecha anime needs childs running around in a ship that's going to war.

That thing on Mika's back really grosses me out. But oh boy, he is pretty scary when he is angry.

For an episode that was mainly buildup, it was still very entertaining and he me on the edge of my seat. The ending showed that some real shit is about to go down soon.

I have a feeling this show is not going to go over well with a lot of the newer Gundam fanbase. Feels more like Turn A than the newer angsty teen shoot bangs, giant mech fights where hundreds get destroyed.
Turn-A is one of the very few gundam shows that actually has actionless episodes, that alone sadly puts these 2 shows really close to eachother in similar execution (god i wish so much of this franchise wasnt mecha of the week).

Anyhow it nice to see a lack of angst especially given what the characters are going through, its one of the few times they are acting like actual soldiers. I just hope the romance in the series doesnt cause unneeded drama that offsets the lack of angst

Most Gundam protags are either rookies or civilians, so of course there's going to be a level of angst. This is one of the few Gundam shows where the MC is battle hardened before it airs.

man what an excellent episode. The universe building was on point, the character building was equally great, and finally the political situation seems to (mostly) be comprehensible. This is so damn good. Fareed already seems like a very interesting character, and I hope he'll provide deep dynamics in the antagonist field.

Ah! I still wanted more time too. It is understood that the situation of the characters is really hard, the narrative is well to remember, but now I would like more details about the characters, so as to frame them well at the level of character. The plot moves very little, but the next move that must implement the brigade Tekka, keeps me on edge, I wonder if they can understand the intentions of that fool of an old man. Drawings and animations not bad, but you can still improve, we just wait for the BD to have that graphical improvement this series deserves.

Now that I think about it, he really reminds me of the "get 'em" guy from Gravity Falls:


To the one who saw the missing part of land on Australia, good catch! It's a really nice nod to the original series.

I really liked this episode: it wasn't afraid to slow down a little and spend more time on the world building and the character relationships. Given the franchise's terrible reputation in this department, I'm also scared about the possibility of poorly written romance bringing the show down, but I'll wait to see how that goes before judging. Not holding my breath, tho.
Well, we already knew Mika was strong, so I was not surprised that he managed to choke a big guy that easily. But damn, bru, what is this savagery and where in the hell does it come from?

This was a more conversational episode.

At least Mika tried to cheer Kudelia up by telling her she's important to the team.

Also, who the heck get's a 9-yr-old for a fiancee?! (Even if it IS arranged.)
