| At least it's better than Gundam Age. |
| dat scene when Bellri shot the captain remain me scene from gundam seed when kira kill athrun fren in the beach just before he gets freedom strike |
 |
| What are those cuts while characters are talking? Because the earth... what? pew pew wtf And that reaction from the pirate hime at the end was so out of place. |
 |
| Good episode. |
| I don't always have prisoners but when I do I let them roam free with civilians/students and let them follow us into the hangar where we put their own captured mechas while their allies are attacking us :^) anyway, it still has terribad pacing. |
| I feel like the show is actually going a bit slow for me, just because someone died that meant a lot to one of the main characters doesn't mean the pacing is moving faster than the speed of light we might even see more about that situation later on. We still don't even know the situation going on or if there's an active war going on at hand, and what exactly these pirates are up to. I don't even get what the hell people mean by "awkward" and "useless" dialogue. |

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 |
| The retro's nice but hope it doesn't go in the direction toward 3D like parts of the first episode, the shapes of the mobile suits themselves are becoming more oval ew. |
| Will this series have a Haro that can rival the awesomenss found in that of Victory Gundams? Doubt it, but one can hope. So far the series it going good. I like the characters, and the voices sound fine to me. Maybe I'm just used to it, having seen pretty much every Gundam, but the pacing does not seem bad to me at all. It seems quick, and not pointlessly waiting around. I very rarely watch anime while it aires (Read: only done it once before.) but this season, I am watching this and Fate/Stay Night: UBW. Man, I hope I don't regret it. |
| Humm.. at last this episode was better than the first one but I don't really like it// |
| there is some sloppy directing here and there, but overall pretty good! The art continues to be fantastic. I love the characters and their voices already. Good animation and good pacing. |
| I really can't help but find Raraiya to be a lot cuter than Aida. |
|
| Ugh I don't know what to make of this. I really like the art style. Very reminiscent of the old series. But christ is it rushed and just plain goofy. I know it's meant for a younger audience, but ehh I might end up dropping it. |
| So far, I dislike every character that I've seen. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Pretty good episode, but man they skipped a lot of animations. Like when the building got cut off, they didn't showed the building collapsing or Bellri and Aida dodging it or not. Lol they showed older Gundams from UC era. I saw Rick Diaz and Hyaku Shiki :) And wow they pulled some Zeta moments towards the last scene. I want more of that! Can't wait for the next episode! This is getting good!! |
| Classic Tomino Gundam. All that's missing is a charismatic mask wearing antagonist I'm loving this! |
ex_necross said: fully agree! =)People like me who love old school anime are definitely in for a treat. It's a shame some kids can't handle it. Some of the dialogue was meh, but that's just Tomino for you. Oh yeah and also I love how un-fanservicy the fanservice was. Fully clothed normal looking butt. This show wins a lot of points for that alone. Sick of cow tits and massive asses in my face when watching anime. |
| 4/5 The same confusion I felt in this episode, maybe "shoot" two episode of Reconguista, it was not a good idea! Ahahahah XD I confirm what I said earlier, very beautiful environments and to my liking the drawings, the costume design, the Color Design etc etc. The characters even just mentioned are well distinguishable in terms of graphics and everything is good, we remember best. |
 |
| So far I don't really like these 2 episodes. These episodes really hard to take seriously, dialogues are seem to be pretty weird for me, annoying cheerleader girls, annoying pink haired girl, and irrational actions of some characters (they should've tied Aida or restrain her somehow after they took her from prison but they just let her be. oh and also raraiya, she doesn't get proper treatment as a prisoner -.-), and I don't like the MC. But that being said, usually gundam series need many episodes to become actually good. Well, I'll just have to wait and see. |
| This is amazing. |

| found this better than the first, i think this show is doing what it wants and it's doing it right with this being more targeted towards those old school gundam fans,having said that i'm still enjoying it and i wanna see were the story goes even if the dialogue still seems like the weirdest part of it so far. |
 |
| 6.8 rating. Stay classy, MAL. But seriously, the only thing wrong with this show is the choppy animation, so far. It's basically Turn A Gundam in terms of art design and the mood of the story. And I loved Turn A. |

Freshie said: for starters mal scores mean nothing when its just starting out let alone when they are airing altogether, secondly theres problems with this show other than animation, animation actually looks quite fluid in many points especially this episode, the problems lie more in its poor directing and pacing as well as tomino's dialogue being a bit worse than it usually is, people are probably and understandably off put by its sloppy scene transitions and of course the most glaring gap in logic of 6.8 rating. Stay classy, MAL. But seriously, the only thing wrong with this show is the choppy animation, so far. It's basically Turn A Gundam in terms of art design and the mood of the story. And I loved Turn A. "hey heres this mentally unstable amnesiac who can only utter a letter that we found in a giant unknown mech that just attacked us.....lets put her in the hands of teenagers". its only a matter of time until they bring in newtypes and people will merely see it as a asspull, which in all actuality is kind of hard to forget that it does come straight the fuck out of nowhere in 079(unless you watch the movies which properly introduces the idea early on) and in about every regard qualifies as one. Though if they outright ignore newtypes ill be a happy camper This series has alot of potential and this episode showed improvements over its generally pretty poorly executed first episode, the way the last scene was done sets up alot of potential chaarcter development and the fatc the series didnt force berril to get into the gundam so we actually see more of the world from the perspective of a foot "student/soldier" adds alot more to the world. Issues with tomino aside I generally have faith he'll pull this off, but this is FAR from flawless, if anything this is gonna have to be the typical tomino fair where your enjoyment is going to rest entirely on how much your willing to forgive its misteps, kind of like the kammile and four situation, one half of people are going to be able to forgive its rushed and borderline abrupt romance inf avor of what its doing to kammile's character development while the other half are going to get stuck on how lazily it was presented and set up making it hard for them to take the events and character development spawned from it seriously. anyhow the series is only just starting up and there is barely anything there to say if this will be a zeta or a garzeys wing, if the reaction is negative at first them over time it will improve if the show does as well, if it doesnt then that is something worthy of criticism |

| the animations look good so far, but the story telling part is quite bad, some characters act very weird/unlogic, Bellri as the main hero is unlikable too looking at the mecha designs, they seem to target the younger children viewer... |
| Hit that ass! |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| The world is unbelievably beautiful and complex. I love alien environments, and beginnings, where you are just thrown in the middle of events, are my favourite, but I have trouble with this show. Characters think... differently, perhaps, so it's hard to empathise. And the scenes change so fast and choppily, that it's hard to keep track. But that's my first Gundam, and I like newer anime... I guess, I am not the intended audience. I respect immensely their decision to make show for the old-school fans, but on the other hand, I am a bit sad that it doesn't draw me in the Gundam series, as I hoped. |
| Slingshot to the butt... lol klaymore said: I couldn't have said it better myself. Still, action should be decent enough for me to keep watching.the animations look good so far, but the story telling part is quite bad, some characters act very weird/unlogic, Bellri as the main hero is unlikable too looking at the mecha designs, they seem to target the younger children viewer... |

| Seeing how ridiculous things went i must bet Tomino is the one doing the show. After watching lots of Gundam i realized the guy just can't keep anything sensible. He is just "whatever". I really don't know how he managed the first Mobile Suit Gundam story. I bet it was because it was he first and was still acting a little on a leash. After that he went full retard and never came back. As about the art style. Hmm..Yes it might remind old artwork at times but i think it's worst. In the old times things looked like they looked because that was what they could do. But for their time the artwork was still serious and detailed. Now it's just childish really. When i watch the old shows i don't feel the old artwork makes them childish but with this one it really feels that way. I am no fun of this attempt at all. Anyway am disappointed. Another Gundam show that seems mostly for kids. When are we gonna get another great Gundam series i wonder. |

I want a TV series with like 50 episodes or something. I guess i have to wait for that Origin thing to see if i get my wish. |

I think The Origin is supposed to be OVA too. But, you're right, it would be nice to have an entire series targeted towards older audiences. Though seeing that we've had three shows in a row directed at children (AGE, Build Fighters, Reco), Sunrise might have moved on and only plan to satisfy the older fans with OVAs set in the UC timeline. |
| Origin is an OVA. I'm not so keen on Tomino doing something 50 episodes long. Unicorn's the right length; long enough to be interesting but short enough to have cinematic level animation quality. |
fst said: Origin is an OVA. I'm not so keen on Tomino doing something 50 episodes long. Unicorn's the right length; long enough to be interesting but short enough to have cinematic level animation quality. Who said anything about Tomino? I might seem like a sacrilegious bastard to the Gundam lore fans but to me the guy should just stay away. Enough with treating the guy like a God. His past his expiration date and God knows he made a lot of stupid Gundam series like ZZ that didn't do anything but hurt the universe of Gundam. There are many new talented people. Let someone else do it and the overly attached Tomino fans can scream all they like. For example who made and directed those IGLOO stories? Those were great and as i am aware Tomino wasn't the one who made those stories. Let those guys to a series. |
| Are we seeing psychoframes already? |
| small battle on earth in this second episode, with an interesting dead!!! Bell is a nice pilot!!! |
| The more I hear Bellri, the more he sounds like a slightly older Uso (Victory). Yeah, for Tomino's dialogue quirks! Seriously, last episode was okay in that regard but this one got a inappropriate sentence in the middle of a dialogue, uuf ! It wouldn't be Tomino otherwise. (actually, one little sentence is nothing compared to what I was used to froom the guy's bad days.) It still looks great but there are now some ugly faces here and there. It could not go on, right? -_- So, there is a conflict around the control of energy distribution/production? Interesting, but it looks like we won't get a real grasp on the situation before a few episodes... Plus Bellri and Aida have very close irises? Estranged family? 4/5 Please, Tomino, dont forget that you won't have 50episodes ! @CodeBlazeFate It's good to see the good old technology we are used to ! (ex: Zeta's flying "boards") |

| I don't know where did the designs for those "walking chickens" come from but they surely give off some Macross vibe...or Star Wars? Or maybe just some other popular 2-legged mecha. Anyway, they're cool. Looks like the "Iris Sign" is the key to Bellri being able to open G-Self. Old mobile suits thrown in for good measure :3 And even more old visual quirks (including the colored Newtype-ish background during slowmo). The new designs are good too (I especially like the pirate ones) I stan the slingshot girl. "Stumbling into the wall" gag gave me Turn A flashbacks. And that giant shell breaking a lantern reminded of of F91. Interesting that Bellri refers to himself as "boku". Though it pretty much fits his behaviour. No idea how is this show "a mess" or "hard to follow". I've enjoyed those 2 episodes and the ED fills me with happiness. |

| The walking things they use to travel look a lot like the WaDoms from turn a gundam. Loved the reference at the old suits like Rick Dias, kapool and the Zaku II. Overall an interesting episode, the action was good and also the animation. |
