| The gassing of the colony was indeed chilling, proper space nazi type shit. Really effective writing to put a human face on the tragedy with the doomed couple, rather than leaning on spectacle. Sure it was melodramatic, but that's Gundam in a nutshell. I also loved how the show keeps making you want to sympathise with Dozle while making you feel repulsed at the same time. Nevermind his self-delusion, although the writing doesn't explicitly say as much, but I wouldn't be surprised if his poor wife was basically cooerced into marrying him and pumping out babies too. I mean what was she going to do when he demanded her marriage and babies, turn him down and suffer the consequences? Her kid is probably the only thing keeping her sane. The look on Sayla's face when she finally had enough gave me goosebumps. |

| Neither side is clean in this conflict. I know that a lot of people side with the Federation, but they are just as shitty as the Zabi's imo. This was an amazing episode, great build up for the battle to come and great character moments. Dozle was born into the wrong family and is the only likable Zabi family member imo. The father has become weak in his old age allowing Gihren to take the family down such a dark and disgusting path. I really liked that he was willing to call him out though it is too little too late. Edit: I will say that I did not like that guy revealing Casval was still alive to his sister. It cheapens the reveal in the original in my opinion. |
