Same Gundam development and plot devices in general.... only dressed-up differently to look like something new, but it really isn't. I enjoyed the ride, but it's nothing outstanding. Not my favorite Gundam series by far so far, but I still have hopes. I think if it truly is meant to be targeted to younger kids so they develop interest in Gundam, then good! I don't think they will appreciate the UC series after being corrupted by this though.

P.S.

Pretty good action episode but the Yurin scenes were really painful. She's been a very annoying plot string overall and didn't serve any purpose except to make Flit hate the UE (and now he's becoming dumb on top of being naive...). Oh and I don't like the UE either, they're pretty much the bad guys with no redeeming quality nor objective reason to attack the earthlings at the moment. Even the Zabi family had some political justifications at least (despite being Nazi wannabes).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

So Kakashi becomes Flit! Nice

Poor Yurin, i think every one knew she was going to kick the bucket from the get go. I was actually expecting her to go out like Four from Zeta. Still, kinda sad. Loved her Mobile Suit. It's the freedom DRAGOON's but shaped like flowers.

So i'm guessing Largan might die next episode... Perhaps even Grodeck.

Best episode yet by far.

This was what Gundam is all about. Every main character has to have a female love interest die a tragic and pointless death. With all of the supposed changes to the 2nd arc I am actually looking forward to it.

No matter how predictable this is, I just wanna see next episode so we can move on to part 2, with hopefully more interesting characters.

I expected all this. It was pretty well done, but you know, of COURSE Yurin doesn't tackle Desil out of the way instead of moving infront of the sword. And of course Flit doesn't kill Desil when he gets the chance.

But yeah, this battle is basically Lalah and Char against Amuro. Standard 1v1 sword fight until antagonist/rival realizes he can't get the upper hand necessarily, and then pulls out a cheap weapon that has a person of significance to the main character. Somebody starts to lose, person of significance moves to take the hit and save the person, they die.

Then because the main character lost a person of significance, skill and power levels jump into OP zone.

But yeah, this episode was well done, I thought it was a little silly though how Flit had to use the Titus for like 40 seconds to take out 3 UE and split the wall in half.

ALSO, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN DESIL'S SWORD AND FLIT'S COCKPIT. WUT?
It was so close and then all of a sudden theres enough room for Yurin's suit to hop inbetween and all of a sudden Flit is moved back a bit too.

One more episode for the first gen? They seem to have cornered the leader at the preview. Let's hear their motives. Though if they cornered him then what next?

I like the cast of the next generation.

boring episode I'm afraid, it was obvious this was going to happen from the first time they met. This plot point has been used in so many Gundam series' now it's just plain silly and isn't shocking anymore.

I like Gundam AGE but gundam in general really needs some new ideas.

Best ep so far but I wonder how long they can milk/reuse scenes from core UC Gundam. Funnels and Lalah...We'll see if they borrow something from Zeta too.

This, but I doubt it. Dx I'm just glad Flit spared him cause that means Desil will have time to get better and give Asem a run for his money. I hope. I doubt he will be around the third generation since he would be too old.

I think he is 7 not 5 and yeah it would have been better, but hey if he survives this next episode he will be at least in his 30s next time we see him.

This episode is really much better done than Episodes 40 and 41 in the original series in my opinion. While Lalah Sune is a Mary Sue that becomes a willing slave to Char in spilling blood needlessly and still wins argument against Amuro, Yurin is a sincerely pure heart forced by Desil Galette into fighting her lover Flit. When Yurin died, I felt Flit's rage much better than Amuro's over Lalah's death.

Btw that Desil kid is annoying. Seriously who wants an 8 year old kid for a villain? When Flit stab his machine i was hoping to see an explosion so i can be happy that his certainly dead and won't have to see him again but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Why Rose Funnels? o-O; Ah well.

And I feel sorry for AGE-2.

Desil is crazy for a 7 year old. Are the UE aliens? Brainwashed?! ><

I was hoping for that too. Hopefully he won't be a kid and as annoying the next time we see him.

Awesome episode. It had some really nice animation and music which made for some intense fight scenes. Also the part with Yurin was still quite emotional even though I knew it would happen.

Also; pink flower-shaped funnels.

Flit did not finish Desil off when he has a chance to, i guess he will be back...
would like to see Desil died instead. sad to see Yurin died.

did anyone notice that's a black silhouette ship at OP ? i guess it must be a 0 raiser or something for Flit gundam.

Not bad! This was pretty action packed and intense. I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't such an "oldfag", and knew how Yurin was going to be used and killed half a season ago I would have been pretty impressed. It is a sadder death to me than many of the others because basically she was enslaved in that mobile suit with no control whatsoever. She died wanting to live and while she was still sane, unlike many of the other female sacrifices in Gundam. That's something that gave it weight and made it unique.

It's a good thing that Desil has all those extra parts. He's broken most of Bandai's toys for this first season.

I never thought about all that, but it's true. Oh well. Kinda figured it would go down like this. Hoping the plot twists come with the second and third arcs. But by then I'm sure Flit will be just as bad as who he's fighting.

Oh noes the death flag for Yuurin became true! And it was quite fast... I guess it could have been handled more subtly for a more dramatc effect...

Anyway the battles of Age are much better now, and the series is getting really fun because of that. I mean the battle sequences itself, and not the fact that they finally got in Ambar and it's getting epic war scale now (which is also great of course).

And damn, Yuurin was my fav char here... -_-

This show is beating us over the head with the fact it has no regrets being in the G Gundam/Super Robot camp of mecha. As this show is aimed more at kinds I can let it slide I guess. I could have cared about Yurin, but she wasn't fleshed out nearly enough. From the word go it was obvious she was the 'Newtype-girlfriend-that-dies-to-give-MC-resolve' type. Anyone who expected her to live is new to the whole Gundam thing.
