Welp got that emotional D:

Glad to see Kudal being finished off. I really disliked that guy anyways. The transition into a more breather episode was more refreshing sight to see. Lol princess carry. I was also not expecting that kiss at the end especially since it's Mika who took the step.

mika showing no mercy as usual "oh this one deserves to die anyway"
looks like he's troubled by what he said.. "you're enjoying! the killing of men"
and that kiss, i thought kudelia was gonna kiss him but oh boy, it was the opposite. and he's so straight-forward lol "i thought you were cute. didn't like it?"

Macky is the Chariest Char clone who ever did live. He courts lolis 3x faster than the average lolicon... and is probably a user just like Char.

The sudden kiss felt like Okada's desire for relationship drama bursting through. Hopefully it leads to some character development instead of just being a throwaway... though Kudelia's reaction was amusing. Naze and co. are definitely influencing Atra and Mika.

Akihiro gets Gusion. Everyone saw that coming. Now Guts has armor befitting his GAR!

Increasing signs that Tekkadan and co. might end up unwittingly becoming the spearhead of a rebel army, depending on how the Earth powers react to Kudelia's independence proposal.

I'm really starting to think this show might be split-50 episodes like Gundam 00 was. It just feels like 12 episodes isn't enough to wrap everything up without the ending either being a complete clusterfuck or a shitty montage.

What an ep. Mika's kill at the start was EPIC!

Almiria's so cute <3 jelly of Asses and boobs lol. Loved her scene with Macky. She really was adorable. The way he was talking to her gave me some bad vibes tho. Shady...

Tekkadan accepting the Human debris was nice. And so was the funeral.

I just love Orga and Merribit's interactions. Calling him brat lol

The Naze kissing scene was hot :L I found the way Mika was looking at it funny for some reason. And AkihiroxGusion OTP? Nice that he's gonna have that strong mech

Dat Mika kiss totally took me off guard. Kudelia's hug was so awkward lol but her reaction to the kiss was adorable. Mika just keeps proving he's based

Awesome! Kudelia was trying to handle Mika like a kid, only to be demonstrated the next moment how wrong that approach wasXD Although it was unexpected, I like this development, Mikazuki and Kudelia's dynamics are pretty interesting, seeing that she's a high class otome (and from the preview, we're in for her cute aftermath girly reactions in the next episode) and he's a strong-willed survivor guy who's a little out of touch with his emotions. Poor Atra, but ultimately, I think Mika and Kudelia are a better, more interesting and, surprisingly, more compatible couple. Imo anyway.

LOVE IT. Damn, I can't imagine a sunday without that anime. Mika IS SO BAD ASS. That asshole with the other Gundam was really fucking scared. But Mika killed HIM SO easily. He was a piece of trash so he deserved it. Also I believe that it's not easy for Mika to kill though, we saw how he was twitching, and the path of blood that was behind him. Very nice scenes with the Funeral. And Akihiro getting the Gundam will epic too. Next episode will be crazy. That Kiss in the end, I CLAPPED when I saw it. It's Orga's turn to kiss the accountant.

Unfortunately, only 26 of them are actually operable. The others are destroyed so you won't even get to see them. Maybe if there is a prequel that takes place during the Calamity War. Also, Gusion is getting stripped down into the Gusion Rebake. Say good bye to our lovely fat Gundam because it will be so skinny afterwards.

Anyone else think he only kissed her because he saw Naze doing it? Because whether he likes her is still unconfirmed and maybe he thinks kissing is normal for any girl that just looks cute.

Pretty sure Naze smashed too xD

Never expected to see Mikazuki pull something like that. It's obvious he did it because he saw Naze doing it but it could also be the start of something between him and Kudelia. I honestly don't like either Kudelia or Atra for Mikazuki but it seems it will be the former.

I'm still confused about Fareed's intentions. I mean, does he really like Almiria or is it just an act? I kind of think that he likes her but only as a little sister and that he agreed to this engagement for some purpose. I could be wrong, though. As for her, she's head over heels for him.

I guess it's becoming more obvious that Yamagi has a thing for Norba? Even if that's the case, I don't see it going well as Norba obviously loves women.

Also I still hope Mikazuki and Atra become something. Those two together are fare better in my opinion, or maybe just go the Harem route if possible. Kudelia still hasn't wowed me yet but her reaction to the kiss was cute.

Also sweet death to that punk pilot, did he get cut in half? Well blade through him?

I hope Akihiro gets Gusion as that thing being sold is such a waste, that MS is awesome and Tekkidan needs more Gundams badly especially once they get to Earth.

That kiss is a surprise though.

Macky is awesome, I usually don't like the villain but the way he treats a loli is just too good. Alimiria is so cute in that dress.

^Love the way Merribit was looking at Orga the whole time Naze talked about birth rates and shit. They are sooo ending up together if Orga doesn't die haha

Also what the fuck Mika? I was not expecting that at all. That was one bold ass move you just pulled, right there. Totally fits him when you think about it. Glad the little girl that looks like a sheep got NTR'd good, tho: I was definitely not ready to deal with some dumb love triangle.
Who would've thought I would ever enjoy a bit of romance in a Gundam series? Maybe it's because it doesn't feel so forced, this time.

Chocolate Macky Aznable earned my respect this episode too: no one takes his 9 yo loli seriously (and he probably doesn't either) because of her age, but he took the time to court her like a real gentleman so that her feelings won't be hurt. Not sure if it's genuine or just an act, but in any case that was the most sensible thing to do.

Loved the fireworks in space as well: what a nice way to send off your dead comrades.

This was a great episode. Probably up there as the best. The Ice Flowers was nice and symbolic since Tekkadan are Iron Flowers that never wilt away. The crew on top of the ship was a nice touch with the speeches and the OST.

How did everyone know that Akihiro would get Gusion? Was it revealed somewhere prior? I totally didn't expect that and when Orga said we'll sell them all, I thought I was correct. Although it does totally fit his reckless style and it ties into his story-line with his brother.

Fumitan hug, Atra jealous haha. She's too cute to not hug.
That kiss came out of nowhere and immediately after the plan to assassinate Kudelia. Who was that guy? Also notice the data he had on his tablet. Fumitan has definitely been spying.

Next episode Fumitan looks shocked twice in the preview and it seems they arrived at some colony? Looks like Kudelia told Fumitan about the kiss.

I'm interested in McGillis and his plot. It definitely seems he's up to something. It was revealed that he's a son of his fathers mistress. Which sort of explains his animosity towards his father. Although I don't see him as the "bad guy" not yet anyways.

Kinda disappointed that the battle between Barbatos and Gusion wasn't as intense as I expected it to be... well I guess that is because of the enemy pilot.

I felt bad for Atra being called having no boobs. Fumitan for the win. Hahaha.

But still, Akihiro is getting Gusion. >.< Woohoo. I really hope Tekkadan gets more mobile suits soon as they really need all the resources they can get.

And I feel like they jumped the shark when Mika kissed Kudelia. >.<
I am more of a Mika X Atra ship. Oh well. I guess what Naze said has affected them. Hahaha.

First kisses generally are. That's why it was surprising and well done. It would have been bad if they both had been snogging like pro's in their first encounter of the sort.

Mikazuki keeps on confounding expectations. It's hard to figure him out and that makes him so a joy to watch. They threw out the standard Gundam hero template with him for sure.
