| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The hell? Now they remember there is no sound in space? They had a full-blown space battle WITH sound just last episode... Oh well, this OVA is cool so far... and nice cliffhanger at the end. |
Alas86 said: The hell? Now they remember there is no sound in space? They had a full-blown space battle WITH sound just last episode... Yeah, it is a bit late to start trying to be realistic. But the episode wasn't bad. That kid is proving to be a hell of a lot more useful than Bernie at the moment. |

| What is the point of this new gundam? Does it ever see combat? |

| Nice check this rad twitter out: http://twitter.com/fuckyeah_anime |
| Loving this so far, Alfred is so smart by going to the police xD I loved that part. |
 |
| Alfred is so going to get caught. I love the brotherly relationship him and Bernie have and Bernie looks cute with Christina. Too bad they are on opposite sides. ;_; |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Damm cliffhanger |
| I liked the White Base reference. ^^ Roloko said: Alfred is so going to get caught. I love the brotherly relationship him and Bernie have and Bernie looks cute with Christina. Too bad they are on opposite sides. ;_; Yeah me too. Christina is a classic gundam waifu. That ending was a real cliffhanger though :o |
 |
| Alfred is proving to be really smart though a bit of a nuisance to the Zeon soldiers. Bernie is also a very interesting character. Loved that they mentioned the "White Base pilot" hahah. |
| Favorite part it the White Base mention. It's nice to see that they had support going on behind the scenes. Still waiting for the kid to realize it isn't all fun and games. I like Bernie, though, he's a nice guy for a Zeon soldier. |
| So basically the Alex is supposed to be Amuro's mid-season upgrade, pretty neat way of fitting it in the continuity. And the 3 main characters finally end up in the same scene. Can't wait too see what happens next. |
| Dat White Base reference. I knew it : Chris is a pilot ! Al is one brilliant kid : finding the hidden Federation base and all (he's definitely more useful than Bernie). I'm really enjoying this series so far and kinda rooting for all the main characters. Also, dat cliffhanger... Al is getting caught for sure. |

| The security in this facility is bullshit. |
 |
| Is some of the audio missing in episode 3 of the English dub? Any copy I find of it, there's no sound during the scene when Bernie and Alfred see space for the first time, especially when Bernie tries to throw Alfred off the balcony or something. |
| Good episode, but this is the first time i ever wanted to hit a kid so badly to the point he won't say anything anymore. WTF is this kid doing. If i were Bernie i would bright slap Al the moment the interview with the cop was over. Al is just as annoying as Katz from Zeta Gundam. Damn Chris knocked Bernie out. Seems she's also a pilot, but what about this sending to White Base? Since the war is still ongoing this is supposed to be Amuro's spare Gundam in the meanwhile? I have a feeling it will be destroyed and not make it outside this colony. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Dat whitebase reference. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I got excited when they mentioned the White Base. I'm loving this show so far. |
| Wow this episode had a number of intense and also heartwarming scences. Its obvious the zeon captain is just using alfred for intel since he notice he's a local familiar with the colony and seems to want to spill everything to the zeon sf group. Alfred is cute but damn is he gullible and have a nose to get himself into trouble with no realization of consequences usually. One scene I really liked was when he screamed to save the policeman's life. That was really good awareness by him especially since he seem so gullible earlier I'm suprised he realized the dude was going back there with the intention to kill the police officer. It sucks the kid is being taking atvantage of by the Zeon unit. I somehow feel like even at 10 or 11 (I would have been what 5th or 6th grade?) there's no way in hell I'd be helping out either side of the conflict and probably would have went right to the authorities after discovering the Zeon Zaku and Bernie so there'd at least be a chance to end the conflict without having to sacrifice civilians and possibly the whole colony if the battle got really violent. But then again I got the luxury of being 24 and having an outsider's view of the situation, and having watched all the UC up to this point red flags go up in my mind when I see any mobile suit in a colony. That is crazy Bernie and Chris meet in that sort of setting when they are enemy soldiers . Chris is really protective of Alfred there were clues in the first episodes that she constantly looks out for him and of course she caught Bernie before he could get into the house. It's probably enivitable their going to have a conflict in the future. Oh yeah and obligatory "I understand the white base reference" for me too.. its been a while since I watched 0079, was there a time amuro got a completely new gundam? Guessing shits going to start hitting the fan from next episode on oh boy |

midnightblade said: Oh yeah and obligatory "I understand the white base reference" for me too.. its been a while since I watched 0079, was there a time amuro got a completely new gundam? Amuro gets his Gundam upgraded after his encounter with Lalah, I think. He mentioned in a battle (third movie) how the Gundam was a lot easier to pilot effectively thanks to a magnetic coating. In the manga retelling (The Origin), there are several chapters where Amuro meets a scientist who asks to operate this modification on the RX78-2 by rebuilding it because it would in theory allow it a far better manoeuvrability (at this time, Amuro tapped enough in his Newtye potential to feel a gap between his reaction time and his machine's.) I loved the reference too. Chris tests a RX78-??? named "Alex": is this an actual new model who is supposed to be for Amuro but will be destroyed before (then they simply coat the original), or Amuro's own RX78 who has been rebuild while he was out-of-duty? The fact she meets Bernard in person invites me to think one will kill the other in the final OAV MS fight. Because of that, Bernard must be the Zeon pilot. I love to see how he and the kid (who seems to have no real family bond) started a "brotherly relationship", About Albert: I still understand the happy naive attitude he has but at least he had the idea to save the policeman (= not totally impermeable to the fact that war "kills"), and I can't wait for the moment he will realize the full extent of his actions. 4/5 edit: the visage features were sometimes pretty bad, especially during the McKenzie dinner. |

| I really do wonder why that kid is actually helping the "enemy", yea war might look cool for a kid, but doesn't he realise by assisting those people like he is doing that he's bringing the whole colony in danger? Damn brats... I also wonder why they would have a gravity pull downwards into space, even though the gravity pull of the whole colony would in that case actually go inwards... "physics" Well it sure was a decent episode, especially to know that Christina is a fighter pilot! Well let's see how that brat can get out of that situation at the end. |
 |
| Fantastic episode! Im starting to get attached to the characters as i am really liking Chris And Bernie! The MC.... Not so much, but im hoping the second half changes that! |
| Al got sent flying. That police desk lady is cute. lol at Al using the cops. LMAO at Al fake crying. lol Al wants to join Zeon. Women's association meeting. Chris wacked the shit out of Bernard. Dat White Base mention. Hurry, Al! They're coming. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| this is OK and is a breath of fresh air compared to the other OVA I'm currently on. Doesn't seem to be the masterpiece many people make it out to be so far though. |

| I also had to smile when they name dropped the White Base. So far I reallly enjoy the slow pace and that we get to know the characters. Will make the events in later episodes all the more impactful. Especially an encounter between Chris and Bernie could end up being interesting. Al also has to experience the tragedy of war yet. At least he realized that his actions would've costed the police officer his life if he hadn't done anything. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Friendly exchanges between Bernie and Chris make me think that either of them is definitely going to die, traumathazing Alfred. That secret facility security tho. Having an unlocked door is really something. Obligatory convenience for the protagonist present in virtually every show, I guess. |
| I thought the audio was randomly cut out when Al and Bernie were in space lol. The lack of security is so funny lol. Nice White Base reference btw. |

| Al is a good actor, that's for sure. |
  |
Good thing then Tomino wasn't the one who wrote this. Who knows, she might actually survive. xD |
| Beep boop |
| i really loved the white base reference, that is clearly the gundam sent to amuro when he unlocks his newtype abilities |

| Alfred in 3 chapters was more useful than Katz and co in 100 xD (and less annoying) Christina is pretty but with suit she look even better and Bernie, i like the boy, he seems more human even for Zeon army. |
| They really have problems spelling DANGER huh? :D |
 |
| How old is Christina? When she got introduced I thought she was an adult, well maybe she is. Honestly its pretty refreshing for a gundam MC to not be whiny, angry and constantly try to punch people. |

| So this series is sort of a prequel to the OG (though obviously after Origins) |
