| recap? really? |

| This series is complicated and crazy fast, but the recap wasn't really helpful. I totally could have skipped over that, I think. I don't know how much I like this series so far. It's very strange in the way it does everything, but at least the protagonist is decent for a Gundam show. I'll just reserve my judgment until the end, I guess.. |

Yeah, for a Gundam show this MC is actually quite decent so far and not doing stupid ass hell decisions but who knows. |

| A summary! And badly integrated and build at that !! Having Rolan express things he isn't supposed to know distances you too much from the show, and it's made worse by the fact it is a plain summary with no justification in-universe. Even Zeta made an effort there. 1/5 A romance between the disguised princess and Rolan? o_O Thanks for warning me, I didn't notice it... 1- Much like the "classic" Gundam, this series makes an extra effort to force a mecha battle almost every episode. And the fights aren't nothing to write home about, so in this aspect I am disappoint. 2- On a brighter note, the characters aren't nearly as hateful like in those "classic" Gundam, even when emotionally unstable. Loran is a pretty cool guy. 3- That Loran and Laura business is still stupid. Even after "Laura" admitted "she" was a moonrace, the later who had met Loran face-to-face (specially Lt Harry) still think they're two different persons. At one point it seemed Harry was suspecting otherwise, or maybe he knew what was going on from the beginning. But then he said something like "It's Loran who's piloting the Mustache, and not Laura? Nevertheless, I must destroy it." I guess I should be glad this is not a important plot point (yet?). 4- I don't expect people to easily suspect Kihel and Dianna pulled the old switcheroo through physical appearance alone (even if their eyes are different). But I can only wonder how they can keep their disguises this long after being separated. It's not like they had time (or will) to properly plan how each other should act. Unless there's something more to their likeness... 5- Will Game is a terrible character, and needs to shave badly (or at least the animators need to learn how to make facial hair). The only justification for his existance I can come up with is to give some insight into Dianna's past and introduce that "mysterious and sexy old lady". 6- From the moment those "Borjanon" appeared, first thing that came to mind was Zaku-ripoff. Interestingly enough, the recaps did refer to them as the "Zaku from the first Gundam". Not sure if ther are going to stabilish a link between them, or just a little fanservice to oldschool Gundam fans. 1- I am glad I read The Origin and watched the theatrical trilogy then. Turn A, though, doesn't insist that much compared to Zeta, where any lame excuse or none was enough to justify half of each episode being yet another (useless) escarmouche between robots. 2- What? The original White Base crew was such that you ended up easily attached to them. the only hateful crew members I can remember were the two mischievous guys in ZZ (one becoming captain of his own ship -_-) 3- Idem. Same thing for Harry's case, I don't get why they made him act like he was playing along then believing it for real. 4-It looks more oike Kihel has some easiness to slip into the role of a leader, maybe a vocation? The princess had also probably no close relationship who could figure it out thanks to a better knowledge of her. On the other hand, the princess's interpretation is lacking and the sister should have more than a doubt (unless they're not together enough time). 5- A character made for a certain purpose isn't bad if he fulfills his role. 6- The Capool (ZZ?) from before and Will's GM (0079) are here too. The Correct Century is officially supposed to take place several centuries after the Universal Century era. |

| Well, they didn't even include the triple loop scene for the emotional flashback. Not much to discuss about the recap (which was an excuse to use CGI for character profile scenes and that recap book), so just some thoughts on the show: - I wonder what's Diana's opinion about Loran's resemblance to "Lora" (did she realize?) - Waiting for "Diana's" side to be fleshed out more (how's she living on the ship, does she feel exhausted playing this role, etc). Maybe it'd be a good idea to show Diana's room with objects from her past to make Kiehl "live through" the role or something like that. |
