yeah it was way much better because of that pretty intense tank battle. I think Major Sonnen was the only one who could bring out the true potential of the YMT-05 Hildolfr anyway.

Probably the best ep out of Hidden One Year war!

*Salutes for Hildolfr* That was awesome! Sonnen made a tank battle great. I think you could only watch that kind of potential in 08thMS team?

Amazing battle sequence. But it looks like the tank won't be mass produced, since I haven't seen one of them in other Gundam series.

Too bad the pilot died, he seemed to be a nice guy

That was one badass tank, when it changed form it reminded me of Armored Core. Pretty interesting story and an awesome fight.

yeah this series pretty much exsists for the sole purpose of showing action scenes. some of its entertaining but honestly i find this all really dull in the end because of how lacking in the writing department it is.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Yeah this episode was paced alot better, the previous episode focus on the entirety of the 1 year war, which just would no way be able to fit into one episode, so it kind of felt extremely rushed.

This episode had improved pacing and that tank is one mean machine.

Not quite as special as the first ep but still pretty good.

What was up with the drugs though? nobody even seemed to care that the test pilot for a expensive piece of military hardware was doped up.

Same interrogation. On the opposite hand, it goes well with the impression of "disposability" the first episode already vehiculed about this testing team.

There is some tentative for emotions but exactly like Zeon I could not care less about the characters here (maybe this "sense of disposability" is too well done). Not a fan of (mecha) action but once again, the action scene is the only thing who kept me entertained.

Action wise it was pretty good, but the CGI still really really bothers me... that ending though!

Yes, much better than first. Tank sequence was especially exciting, although the Zakus didn't look that great in the sunlight. Compared with Ep1 where they were in space and looked good. Can't tell if I do or do not like this animation. Hard to say.

Down with the rebel scum! er Federation scum!
