----------------------------------------
The AGE 2 gets a new tune up! Asem took out 2 Vegans in an awesome way. I was having mix feelings about the power up but it looks amazing. AGE2 by far my favorite Mobile Suit so far.

Grodek dies at the end, Even in the end he looked badass.Also, why didn't anybody call the authorities? They all just stood there, looking at a dead corpse. And it seems Renji killed the murder, the kid from the end of the first arc. I wonder who those Suit's are.

Well, to sum up the episode:

- Asemu/Zeheart moment
- Asemu gets indirectly rejected by Romary
- New gundam parts (which are awesome)
- Grodek Dies

Asemu -> Dbag (such an angry guy... like seriously)

Romary rejects Asemu, Asemu makes point he's pissed off about rejection. Probly another unrequited romance will end his generation like his fathers/

Gundams becoming op like Seed/Destiny

RIP Grodek, in most non-chalant way possible...
Seriously... if you got a phone.. can't you just "email" or what ever.. like even a call or a SOS Ping would be nice.

Funny to see the old general's kid being just a lacky.

Good episode. Asemu Pisses me off.

Well I think Romary felt jealous of Arisa whe she was walking behind them and saw that "ass slap scene" lol but yeah unitentionally rejecting him two.

Lolz how Asemu took out 2 x rounds by himself due to his suit powers.

Grodek dying was surprising but keeps mole in Earth Federation hidden.

Seems next week, Asemu gains access to the X-Rounder booster helmet?

Also strong themes about this arc about Asemu overcoming himself and realizing he will fight to protect the ones he love (although he still going through douche power phase)

One of the best episodes of the series in terms of development (even if most of them were expected, like Grodek dying at the hands of the Vagan child he left fatherless and bitch Romary rooting for Zeheart instead of Asemu - well, she is in love with him so it's understandable -) even though the execution was average. If you add to that the opening scene in the cells, it's getting harder and harder to believe that Romary will be Kio's mother (well, they do have the same hair, eyes and chara-design but Arisa is a MUCH better match - and character - to Asemu...). On a side note, Flit is still the hugest douchebag main character in the history of Gundam but seemed a bit better in this episode.

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

Shit is just getting worse for both Flit and Asemu.

Don't worry she'll give us a sexy bishie or chick to fap to regardless of who she ends up with. Thats if Hino does not decide to kill her off which I doubt he will, but hey you'll never know.

Probably cause the MAL fans don't deem her an annoying useless bitch? I don't know Emily was an ok character especially once she decided to start supporting Flit instead of trying helplessly to make him quit piloting Gundam.

Romary is ok too, but she is the opposite of Emily she don't give a damn about Asemu she cares more for Zeheart's well being.

I sense another loveless marriage from this generation too. I feel for Emily and Asemu cause their partners care more about their vegan love interests than them. -___-

Damn, AGE has gotten incredibly good lately. We had mild slut being her slutty self, Asemu having his inferiority complex rear its ugly head, and Grodek getting shanked in an alleyway.

I love Asemu's disgust of Romary in this episode though. She might be voiced by Kana Hanazawa but she's really turned into an unlikable character as of late. She's not as bad as Emily "just" yet but she's getting there.

I don't think Romary has any romantic feelings for Zeheart at all. She sees him as a friend nonetheless. She just wants Asem and Zeheart to maintain their friendship. Though, Asem sees this in a completely different way; it's quite sad.

Six sword style, Zorro would be jealous. And yes, Romary's bursting hormones are aiming towards Zehart, no doubt. Bunch of clueless virgins in this thread or what :)

Overall, with its dark tones, generation 2 is now more promising than gen 1. Let's hope down it doesn't get washed down for 'target' (kiddy) audience later.

Fuck...Finally they give us Grodek back and then they kill him off in a dirty backstreet. Too early, but really fitting somehow. Asemu is getting more and more unstable...I'm really waiting for a moment when zeheart kills one of Asemu's comrades...just pushing him over the edge. I sure hope that won't be Woolf or Arisa, but the kid with the glasses...go ahead. Or even Flit himself..that would be awesome.

The new attachment is here. And it's freaking amazing.
Just wish its pilot tones down his emo-ness. I know he's looking for a way to be acknowledge or a reason to fight but he's getting a bit rowdy lately.
And oh my God, they killed Grodek. You bastard!

Asemu getting powers through a device? I was hoping he'd just wipe the others by being a normal but it seems impossible with this show. Let's see if this has any side effects or anything(besides the preview saying he will hesitate before the enemy)

Yeah Wtf? Why even bother.
And what stupidity was that with the data. If he has important data he knows people wouldn't want him delivering them and yet no measure to give them to Flit. Actually why the hell didn't he have them the first time?
Also if the can kill that guy so easy like that then why don't they try killing Flit too since he is the major brain stopping the Vaga's from succeeding.

I love how Romary didn't give a shit about Zeheart pointing the gun at Asemu yet got in Asemu's way when he pointed the gun at Zeheart. What a worthless cunt. Asemu should just forget about her and hook up with Arisa who truly cares about him. Romary only sees him as a useful tool to meet Zeheart.

Wasn't it revealed that Romary was Kio's mom? Which will feel strange now after this episode. Asem/Romary friendship looks pretty strained. People were complaining about Emily/Flit because Flit didn't seem to show much "care" for Emily compared to Yurin.

I think there were more close situations, visual-wise, with Romary and Asem compared to the generation 1 kids.

Romary and Zeheart? o-O That can't be right...

GRODEK!!! NO!!!! Going off into a corner to cry now...

I figured Romary was in love with Zeheart. I'm sure Asemu would've preferred it if he were the object of her desire. Fine with me. Even though Romary is NOWHERE near as annoying as Emily was, I'd still rather see Asemu with Arisa.

Seeing Romary and Asemu patch things up should be interesting.

I hope this new equipment won't be mass-produced in the next generation, it is anti-suspenseful. Again those "two blades" style duels... at first it seemed original. (the worst being the multi-blades instant)
The deletion of the datas was strange, why would someone do that rather than to send them to the one who would have seen them.

Asem's wish to be acknowledged and lack of self-confidence/inferiority feeling is interesting, even if it was easy to create thanks to Flit's position and abilities. (it reminds me of one of Ikari Shinji's phases).
After reading some messages here, I think I might have overlook the trio relationship: I saw it only as friendship.

I think this might be the best episode of the series so far. Finally the AGE-2 got a new set.

Grodek got caught up in the revenge cycle, and there is a clear conspiracy behind this war now.

The Asemu stuff was good though despite he seemingly jumping from wanting peace to hating Vagans so easily.

I think this was the best episode for me, i liked the confrontation between Zeheart and Asemu, too bad that Asemu was indirectly friendzoned by romary, and it's normal that now he is angry/sad, i hope he ends up with Arisa.
Grodek's death was completely unexpected, maybe a little anticlimatic, and it was sad to know that he is a victim of the cycle of vengeance too.
I wonder why he deleted the information about the Federation spy.
