THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Raven Slur got transferred to be the tank driver under Herman Yandell, an ace who "plays around with Death" and seeks vengeance against the "White Ogre", a white Zaku piloted by ace Elmer Snell.

Yandell is quite a madmanby, but he is shown to have a human side of him before being consumed by war and vengeance.

Pretty good episode overall, just some little things near the end:

is there a sub out already?

I have no idea about English subs; I watched Chinese subs as they tend to come out much quicker.

Excellent episode. The ending was quite ironic to say the least ;)

(gg has released English subs)

Not as good as the previews one but still awesome. This third season of iGLOO is the best.

Anyone else saw the similarities with a certain captain chasing a big white whale?

That Death God woman is cursing people!!! Despairing soldiers all over the place.

This is great! No idea how Randell and Raven survived. They got out and went to tank 9 or something? o_O

lol. He even had the beard going on.

I got the chills when that Zaku was getting shot down in the smoke screen. It looked like it was drowning in a sea of white. This battle was so badass overall, I might have to watch several more times. I almost like it as much as the fight in MS 08th team against the Gouf.

Really liking this so far. The battles are so epic and the aftermath is always so sad.

One more to go!

Great episode with good characters. It's sad the Liutenant died even after completing his quest. But as MS Igloo has this kind of pattern in it's episode, it's ok

Another awesome battle, only thing that's bugging me is the Death God chick.

This is officially trolling.

Every guy who acts like mad gets blown up 5 seconds later. Utter ridiculous.

Will you drop the metaphors for a minute? This is WAY TOO MUCH.

Better than previous episode but still not very good.

I wonder if Zaku voices/reddish dots inspired by Reapers on Mass Effect. I don't remember hearing/seeing such a thing in MSG movie trilogy or on previous Igloo's. But I could be wrong.

I decided Gundam = Space. I mean this was already obvious but I'm 100% sure now. Military in space is bearable; but on earth, it's not. Earthlings are way too boring/annoying/pain in the ass and all else.

3rd ep will probably be similar to this. I'll probably rate this 6 or 7. Looking forward to (chronologically watching) 08th MS Team. Heard really good things about it.
Open to chat about any storytelling related subject as long as it's clever and respectful.

Well I've been waiting to see this ep for a long time, its pretty much one of the main reasons I decided to watch Igloo, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

The death god was a lot more active here, manipulating the 2 aces into battle.

Back to the boring action-centered pieces of the first IGLOO series. Thr 30minutes format was too long.
More men (Achab among them) going down into madness on the battlefield, I suppose the last OVA will features at least one too. Too bad the death deity is presented more as a real thing than as their madness product like in the previous episode.

Enjoyment: 2/5

@Arvsmageddon You might indeed be onto something. XD (lot better than the stress/trauma explication)

Could this Death God be a ghastly manifestation of the series creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino? LOL

lol. The death god thing just doesn't fit in Gundam. I said in ep1 of Gravity I wouldn't hold it against the series, but I have to. It's just too much. Someone said in an earlier thread the ghost looks like a final fantasy CGI creation lol. Truth.

Anyway, highlights were definitely that final bit with the smoke and tank maneuvers. 6/10.
