I guess that girl was not supposed to be there. I wonder if she will become their ally.

I really liked the commemoration of Junius 7... but what's with the girl? Wasn't she at a ceremonyjust a few hours before that?

And I missed Haro :)

Well,he did get a cute chick as a bonus so it's fine imo. But what was with all the drama about shooting down the enemy mobile suit?! I sure hate that part.

The fated meeting.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

243000 dead? No wonder they are so pissed. I wonder if we'll get details about how things went down.

Why is Lacus Clyne in that pod?!! I'm assuming it's her. And she's got one of those robotic mascots they had in the original Gundam series, lol.

lol Pop idols in Gundam series. What next?

In any case, it was a really good episode.

I liked all the flashbacks of Junius Seven. Apparently everyone has been affected by that tragedy.

I'm guessing Athrun's mom died there. Maybe that's why his father is so hell bent on not forgiving the naturals.

I didn't notice this before but re-watching this episode, I noticed Ramius grasping some sort of necklace while she paying her respects. Maybe her lover died on Junius Seven?

Poor Kira, he's a gentle soul but he's forced to kill others to survive. I feel so bad for him ;_:

Interesting episode, narratively I find it always interesting, because there is always a fund of reasoning in all, besides having a good pathos always.
Drawings more good than usual, decent animations.
Curious to see how she got there Lacus there!
So far, this show, I was not bored.

I read about the Bloody Valentine War because I assumed it was explained/shown in previous Gundam series. From what I found out, all I can say is that I'm on the Coordinators' side.

This was the first really good episode. No wonder ZAFT is a little ticked at the naturals. I thought the song was excellent and the Memory Of Junis 7 were done well.

Commemoration accompanied by the song was quite nice. The Bloody Valentine itself on the other hand was the nasty business type of incident to put it mildly. Damn!

Oh look an idol floating around, are we going down the Macross route? XD

The conflict between the federation and ZAFT is truly interesting, so the coordinstors were persecuted, that's why they are in war.
Poor Kira, he is so kind but he is forced to kill other people, like Üso from Victory Gundam.
How did locus end up in that Life pod? I smell a romance with Kira.
