| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I wonder what deadline passed a month ago. seems Guin did betray the moonrace and that's why they're taking a semi violent approach. Guin on the other hand, intends to revive ancient technology in order to destroy the "demonic aliens from space" and establish his country's absolute dominance of the world or something like that. which basically makes all the deaths to come his sole responsibility. assuming that he's not acting on the emperors orders and against his own judgment, which doesn't seem to be the case. I have a feeling that due to poor intel, Loran will be fighting his own people. too bad no ones going to try talking to him first (or if they do then the too bad the Gundam will attack on its own). |
| Guin said they've been negotiating for the last two years that' s also the same length of time that passed when Loran landed on Earth. It's bad intel on both sides but the Moonrace totally wasted their HUMINT assets on that two years before this episode... |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Least Loran manned up and slapped her back. |

WolfWood37 said: Least Loran manned up and slapped her back. At least these slaps are understandable. Sochie was freaking out because of her father's death and took it out on the first person she could and Loran slapped her to get her back to her senses. Zeta's slaps in particular made me go wtf? That said, I'm still having the problem I always seem to have with Gundam. A lot of the actions the characters take just feel "off" to me. I don't know, it's hard to explain. Still, I'm definitely enjoying this so far. |

| Wow, this is a fast-paced anime. So much is crammed into each episode, I hardly have time to think. o_O I want to know more about this Queen Dianna. Dianna is the goddess of the moon, so her name is very apropos. :) Now Loran has Holy Marks, too, from piloting the mobile suit. I wonder if that's where the Coming of Age ceremony originated in the first place. It was buried hundreds of years ago...I wonder how the mobile suit became so central to Earth's culture (at least around Nocis). Something about the Dark History... If Loran's becoming a pilot, he's my favorite yet simply because he ISN'T a bratty kid for once. >_> He likes the people of earth maybe too much for someone who is working to assert the moon race's authority over earth again. The only people he doesn't seem to like are those closely linked to the earth's authority, like Kihel. He didn't even know about the attack earlier, though, so I wonder if he thought he would only be working to overthrow earth government and integrate both societies peaceably. I don't knowww, I just really, really like Turn A so far especially for a Gundam series. :) lul, and slaps. Oh, Tomino. |
 |
| Finally some slaps. As the guy said before, those slaps are more understandable than the Zeta ones. I don't know why, but I really like Sochie's voice. This series is so fast, I hope it slows downs a little at some point. |
| This has been absolutely amazing so far, definitely the best start of any ~50 ep Gundams I have seen. The setting is just so interesting |
 |
| definitely the best start of the franchise for the 50 episode lengths, i dont know how people can say this is fast paced, this is so delightfully slow that im enjoying it so much, the addittion of a lack in action so far is sucha good sign that the fights wont be throwaway brawls made to sell toys but rather focused action sequences with impact Amuro_Char said: NO NO NO NO NO NO AND HELL NOI don't know why, but I really like Sochie's voice. |

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 |

Still, I'm definitely enjoying this so far. That "off" feeling seems to be Tomino in general. Some of his more infamous shows like Garzey's Wing and Brain Powerd had that same off feeling to the character actions. I've grown to like it tbh, it makes the characters a lot less predictable and keeps your brain working to fill in the dots! |

| Two long years of negotiations and a month of final warning? That's very large compared to Zeon's entry in war. But at least, I could make sense of the Zabis scheme. The Moonrace's logic is too extraterrestrial for me. I guess Guin (Guen?) tried to find his own profit in all this and got burned. Potential hidden villain? Last thing: I found the faces (and sometimes hands) pretty ugly this episode. The drawings quality was rapidly lowered (alarming for a double-length show). 4/5 Nice nods to the original with the Gundam's user "book" and the girl getting back to her senses with a slap after losing family. @St0rmblade Stop with the "nudity" ! Mentioning it makes it sound unnatural when it's perfectly natural on the contrary. Let's simply admire Tomino trying to desensitize his fellow japanese people without help from baths and showers for once. (Joking. Obviously , your reaction is at least not the average american one.) |

| Ah yes, the return of the Gundam Slap! My brain went it previous "Gundam Slaps" over the franchise history and it gave me a solid chuckle. Yeah, concur with previous posts as this episode was pretty damn fast and felt like it was running on caffeine. Weird start to the show so far with how after 2 years the Moonrace has been in contact with the earth and now they.. just attack them. What?!? Cathedral said: If Loran's becoming a pilot, he's my favorite yet simply because he ISN'T a bratty kid for once. >_> I'm with you on this one, dude. I would also say Uso from Victory was one of the best main characters of the Gundam franchise. The kid was only 14 years old and whined a lot less than Amuro and Kamille combined. |
| Not only did the nudity continue, Turn A's strangely situated cockpit is sliding down in a way that's just...what is this... The music is consistently great though. It's just so apocalyptic Justifications used by the Moonrace higher-ups ("Diana told us to be peaceful but these Earthnoids ruined everything") reminds me of Victory Gundam. For some reason Loran took the manual with him instead of leaving it to Syd. Btw the circles on his back don't really map onto the cockpit's seat very well. That prison sentence talk came out of nowhere. For what? Too much destruction? I found the faces (and sometimes hands) pretty ugly this episode. True for Sochie, Guin and that one officer of the Moonrace. To compensate for this, every destruction scene involving a beam looked *fantastic*. Especially with the choir. |

| i have to admit that this is very interesting, but i think the pacing is too fast to really digest what is going on. the mustache gundam is cool. for now i'm not crazy in love with the cast, i hope it gets better overtime |
