| This was actually a rather epic comeback for the show. Didn't waste much time with recapping BS and just jumped right into the main story again with the conflict again. Kei and Shion jumped right back into fighting the good fight again. Plenty of mecha based action and fighting. I wonder if it keep this level of momentum. |

| The 2nd split-cour of Sunrise Beyond's new Gunpla marketing show, and I hope this will help close out the rather bad 1st half, expectations are super low. So...an 8-months timeskip from the aftermath of the battle with Ghost in the Oki Islands, and the North American Coalition won the AI war, leaving the Eurasion, AFTE and Confederation of Oceania armies in the dust. And yet the war against the "terrorist" Resistance group Yatagarasu lingers on, while they and AMAIM pilots Gashin and Shion recuperate. Not surprised that the North American military will go after Yatagarasu with its army and refugees, and they indicted a spy to buy their way into the farce, all to indicate that aggression of gunfire is reason enough for them to take action. This proves to be a problem for Gashion, Shion and the rest of the crew to fight their way through, and Amou came back from the dead with a stronger AMAIM Kenbu (matching the likes of Ghost), though at what cost of his humanity, remains to be seen. A decent return with a somewhat inferior OST, though Natumi.'s ED "pARTs" with SawanoHiroyuki's composition is unmistakable. |

| Well, the first part was kinda meh but still entertaining enough to keep up with it, so here i am. Now we are here with the continuation, or the second part rather ... the main-kun not ded, but upgraded, even after the timeskip ... the political situation of Japan still an absolute mess, and we still have Japan as a center of all the fighting because ? Japan has all the ? Something i guess. So yeah, here we are fighting for ... freedom i guess. War, war never changes. |
 |
| Trying to kill innocent people bruhhh..... Get lost rotten armies. The Japanese land is not your playground. Hiroyuki Sawano's composed and arranged ED was very nice. I don't know why, but I really like both of Kyoukai Senki ED. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| That was actually a.... good episode... I have zero expectations for this show, given most of S1 was a bore, but the build up to the return of Amou was nicely done. |
| Its been a while but its nice to see the team again. But man the yanks sure ended up getting quite the boon thanks to Ghost's AI. Eight months later things look even grimmer than before thanks to the advances that the yanks made in AI tech. Looks like Branson corps decided to end their agreement with the rebels without informing them. In the interim its nice to see Shion and Gashin bond. Using refugee's as a tracker that will enable them to find the last of the rebels within the vicinity what a cruel strategy. Its unfortunate that even this war is not immune to traitors. Not to mention the existence of war crims as well. Damm Amou made such a flashy but highly effective entrance to the battle. Though his expression near the end was a curious one. Overall though really enjoyed this ep's good blend of action and world expansion that also showcased the subtle but much stronger element of fear thats starting to permeate into their struggle. Still have to say both the new OP and ending theme were really good ones with the visuals matching perfectly with them. |

| Amou learned some serious skills since he was nearly killed. Also, some of the new weapons in the OP, are those pulse rifles? It's kinda odd seeing energy weapons all of a sudden even the rifles in the second half are pretty advanced compared to S1. |
 |
| I khew it that German Gobert and Brenson Company has betrayed there agreement with the rebels. Good start that Amo is back. |

| Pretty much has the same problems it previously had. Amou still being alive makes Part I feel even worse. The way the opening sequence is animated should be how the series should look in general. It doesn't help that I started watching a lot of early Gundam between Parts I and II. It makes it look even more terrible. The only thing I enjoyed was the antagonist's weaseling ways of getting his way, and that's a bad thing. |
| Crunchyroll messed up their timing for the subs on this one (very fitting). |

This is not a problem that Amou is still alive but we will get an explanation as to how he is alive. Even the male protagonist in Gundam 00 is alive and well after we thought that Setsuna is dead at that time. Part 1 has alot of impact to the story because the North American Coalition has benefited a lot. On the Battle of Oki Island With Ghost because they retrived the intact core of Ghost’s AI core. That means they won the AI wars with other three nations. That is why the Capricorn AI that the NAC has predicted the expansion of the territory because of the retrival of the Ghost AI core. Now they has a lot of advantages on the battle with those three nations. The trio not doesn’t have the tectical advantage they have because the AI that the NAC has now has the capability that I-LeS (the rebels’s AI technology)has now that can match there tactics. Kep in mind that Brad Watt can potentially pilot the real core of Ghost AI that based on the new Opening, he will clash with Amou’s Kenbu. When that Machine is complete. Brad is on cahoots with German Gobert and Brenson Corp to potentially make use of Ghost AI and based on the Preview of the next episode. |

| Didn't even realize that this was coming back this season, but it's honestly welcomed with that first episode honestly. If it continues, then I'll gladly take it in full. |
| Great episode! We are finally back and a black AMAIM saves the day... it is none other than... AMOU! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Imo, the should have skipped the opening this episode, Amou being revealed alive so early won't have any impact if we see him in the opening. |
 |
| most shows don't even drop the opening on the first episode this one had a even bigger reason with how S1 ended even if we knew he was coming back so that was a bit of a bummer even if the reveal looked cool with the black armor camo resistance seems to be in a even shitter spot doesn't help they have just been relying on two pilots without amou was hoping they would get at least one new one in 8months but eh hes back ED is amazing though figured sawano had a handling in it sounds just like his work |
 |
| They did not give a fuck with the opening lmao, we knew it was the case, but they could have at least still hide it you know. That was actually a really solid start. Predictable yes, but Amou's return was fucking cool. I wonder who saved him though, cause someone definitely did. I guess North America got Ghost's AI thanks to Brad. Curious to see how Amou changed. ED fucking slaps though, Sawano at it again. |
 |
| whooohw! what happen to Amou!? kewl!!! 5/5. |
 |
| Really enjoyed Part 1 and there have been some really interesting changes in the time skip so I'm excited for this to be back. Also, omitting the OP is pointless when listings for the new Kenbu, pictures and all, showed up like a month ago. |
| Controversial opinions |
| As literally everyone under the sun predicted, Amou is still alive. I like that they didn't even bother to cut him out of the opening, seems even they realized it wasn't much of a twist. Writing was a bit on the sloppy side, as per the usual, but the art style actually looked a bit better at times. Still mostly flat, but I saw I few decent looking shots of people's faces. Still lots of scenes of people sitting around a table talking to each other about what's about to happen. I have no idea why Amou decided to show up in a black mech at first, other than for dramatic effect. |
| Amou's bullcrap survival of an explosion was to be expected, but it was not as aggravating as the similar bullcrap explosion survivals in Wing, SEED, and Code Geass. Probably because AMAIM hasn't pretended to be anything more than a fun cool robot show, whereas those other shows pretended that they were super serious dramas. |
