| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, what an episode. Tears and feels especially with that ending ;_; glad to see friends helping though and the action in space was pretty awesome. Carta's role in this is actually more interesting than I had expected with even bits of background story. Mika scared me somewhat as well. Oh Atra's tears...  |

| Nice, I thought that was a cliffhanger.... Akihiro's Gusion is always nice to see, the coolest Mobile Suit so far from this show. Finally, Char Clone's Red Mobile Suit....now it only needs Bits or Funnels for more coolness. Mecha Ein with Arayashiki system incoming. |

| Great episode! The action was intense this ep. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Fantastic episode from start to finish, action was great and the end part with the descent to earth was pretty tense but awesome. |
| Mika confirmed to have big hands for grabbing important bitches. |
| Hey Kudelia, you know what they say...Big hands... Big gloves. Awesome battle in the second half of this episode. Goes to show why making actions scenes in 2D is still the way to go for anime. I loved how MIkazuki used the opponents body to reduce the effect of friction on his craft. He sure is humilliating the opposition left and right. I bet any money that Ein will survive and get the surgery. |

yeah, he still have to undergo to biggest disappointment |
| internet is a cruel mistress |
| MY GOD WAS THAT EPIC. I can't believe that this is such an amazing show. McGillis is such A BEAST. I loved that team up. I loved Suzuhana Yuko's insert song. That dipshit Ein really pissed me off, I hope he died. Everything in that episode was greatness, and when I saw Mika use the MECH of the enemy to land on Earth, was even more insane. |
| That was probably the best battle yet It was interesting to see how Gali Gali, Chocolate Aznable and Captain Sexy Voice met each other and I had a feeling that she had a crush on Chocolate lol xD Ein is a legend for taking that hit for Gali Gali but he REALLY needs to chill out now....I was impressed by how he shut down the system that Tekkadan's pilots use though....Cybernetics incoming I guess for him Gali Gali got REKT, Sexy Voice's entire fleet got REKT and Chocolate Aznable went HAM and I was VERY impressed by him and his new machine....Akihiro, the Turbine girls and last but not least Eugene The Man were all very impressive as well Mika is a fucking legend as usual and that landing on earth was too epic lol....Glad to see that he and Kudelia finally shook hands too....Great episode overall and I loved how Mika got introduced to his namesake....The Crescent Moon P.S. I hope that I wasn't the only one who had dirty thoughts every time Kudelia mentioned that Mika has Big Hands lol |

| 9/10 as long as they dont give me a fuck you ending like alnoah does where the girl likes the mc but doesnt end up with him cuz reasons |
 |
| Eugene is a fucking madman, holy fuck, mate :O The descent to earth was the best scene in this show! |
| Not as good as the episode 7 battle but still good. While I like the effort of the hand drawn mechs I am starting too see why they choose CGI more often as it actually does look superior and you can do more. Quite often the battles in this you cant tell who is fighting who because its not so smooth. In Gundam 00 I never had this problem. So they are finally on Earth. Things are starting to progress faster. There is a possibility they do wrap everything this season. The new fleet commander, the woman. Is anyone else fixated on her weird looking brows? |
| Great stuff, spotted some really nice animation here and there, Mikazuki's resolve to want to see the earth was great |
| Sigh... Mikazuki worried me there. Glad he's okay, but damn, dude. ( ._.) Eugene's "cool" moment didn't really last long thanks to Mikazuki. lol Well there goes Ein. Poor guy, I guess. Gaelio isn't going to be happy. I'm absolutely loving Carta, by the way. |

| That was amazing!! Always loved Landing on Earth eps in the Gundam Franchise and this one didn't disappoint. The way Mika used the mech of the enemy as a shield was awesome XD And Dat music!! Made it 10x better. Atra's crying voice "Mikazuki" was cute <3 And Mika seeing the crescent moon was a beautiful touch :*) Carta's hilarious. She's tsun for Choco and jelly of a loli lololol U gotta give Eugene his credit. He indeed was friggin cool ^^ Mika's sarcastic "Ahso" when Gali Gali said he has his pride. That was so lol And was great seeing ChocoChar helping Mika and co. The way Mika could tell it was him from the piloting was awesome I honestly didn't think Ein would get REKT like that. I don't think he's gonna die tho. He's that persistent vengeful character u gotta have in every Gundam XD |
 |
| I feel that they should've put more emphasis on the handshake, it kind of wasn't as strong since it was placed at the start. That is how I feel at least. That explains why Carta has a platoon of blond men. He loves Chocolate Man. Hahaha. Eugene went nuts piloting two ships at the same time... I seriously didn't expect Ein will die... but the thing is he removed the cockpit before his mobile suit exploded... just as everybody says, he will get a surgery and for the Alaya-Vijnana system I thought Barbatos is pretty cool with those sideskirts. Barbatos is looking more complete now. Looks like it will last til the end of the season at least. |

| Such a badasss reentry. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Holy fucking shit that was an awesome episode It seems like Ein always gets fucked up in every battle but he'll probably be badass in the near future That red mobile suit is pretty cool  |
OrangeJPFeb 14, 2016 7:45 AM
 |
| That was an amazing entry and battle during it, I wonder what that red mobile suit is though, it looks badass. I wasn't worried about re-entry, it isn't the first time a Gundam re-enters freely in one piece. |
 |
| Absolutely amazing episode. Gundam Greatness. Eugene was badass xD That fight with the Earth in the background was just beautiful to watch. I love it when the Gundam's morph and flash their eyes XD Wonder if Ein died :o Mika using the other mobile suit as a shield, That was such a cool re-entry . Wonder if they'll rush up and end things in a single season? Personally I would prefer they don't do that. |
 |
| My favorite battle yet! It was amazing and intense and I actually thought that mika might die at the end.. P.s. PLEASE stop making the antagonists this lovable. First chocolate man and gali gali and now carta, I'm really not looking forward to any of their deaths :( |
| DAT ending really got me well, the tears and the emotion....i can feel it. Atra....;_; great episode overall......best episode to me. Eugene was insane at the first half, and the battle in the second half was epic and intense. that is the best battle from this series to me :D i thought someone will die in this fight but thank god no one die :) and finally they arrived on earth...glad to see that and looking foward for next week. |

Celinha87 said: Im absolutely loving Chocolate Char, Gali Gali and Carta. I hope that none of these die, except Ein. He is so sad, but is boring like Jerid Messa in Zeta. But I really prepared for depressing episodes like the lasts episodes of Zeta Gundam :( and hope we have a second season with the majestic return of Tekkadan. lol Poor Ein, but I honestly feel the same way about him. It's why it won't faze me that much if he ever croaks or gets offed. |
|
| Man what an epic episode! not surprised Ein sacrificed himself to save Gali Gali, rip. |
Was trying to figure out how to hide things as spoiler. Took a while. I'm still sort of new here on this site. lol But yeah. |
|
| THE GRAVITY OF WISHES. So fitting end to everything they went through up to this point. Starting from the handshake all the way to the atmospheric entrance. The best Gundam episode in years. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Wow. I did not expect Ein to sacrifice himself so early. Mika was such a savage in this episode. Eugene, definitely, deserves a lot of praise too. Carta was so annoying. Definitely a tsundere who likes the Chocolate Man. I was literally on edge watching them go with gravity. Mika being amazed by it at the wrong time =w=;; Atra's tears and that nice ending with the flashback and the "Mikazuki" ;u; |
| this epsidoe was beuatiful, and the closing music just amplified my feels. I don't know why but mika has warrior coursing through his veins, his decisions even during the heat of battle are like those made by an seasoned veteran. |

Celinha87 said: AmyTwo said: lol Poor Ein, but I honestly feel the same way about him. It's why it won't faze me that much if he ever croaks or gets offed. Exactly, I understand your motivation against Tekkadan, but if he dies would be better. I don't want anyone hurting Mika, Orga, Kudelia, Atra, Eugene, Akihiro and company..... :((((((((((( Yeah. Plus the fact that he's mostly only centered around revenge, it makes him rather dull, in my opinion. That will probably change if he still is alive, but yeah... so far, not really caring much. |

| The first half of this episode felt weirdly... rushed. Not in the sense that it had low production values, but in the sense that it felt sped up or something. You know when you put an Youtube video on 1.25 speed? Kinda like that. Which is probably why i thought Eugene's conversation with Shino felt so unnatural. Still, i can overlook that because ship combat makes my dick diamonds, and the Isaribi ramming that satellite was hype as fuck. All the combat in this episode was very well animated. In other news, Mikazuki is still boring as fuck, and Ein is probably dead. I kinda liked him, but i can't really feel sad because he did absolutely nothing of relevance. Kinda like those Oz grunts who were semi-important for one or two episodes and then died in Wing. Speaking of Wing, Mika's ability to be almost as boring as Heero is astounding, to say the least. I also think it's kinda weird that Ein would already be ready to die for Galio when the only real thing prompting this was "yeh m8 you're a cool dude even if you're half martian". Oh well, it was still a decent episode. |

| The moment Mika was about to give up I was like NO WAY! Then the Orga/Mika flashbacks rolled and a light of hope appeared. That was so incredibly reassuring. This anime has finally impressed me to the point to increase my rating. While I am almost certain the anime will get a sequel, let me busk in the awesomeness by giving the anime a well deserved 9/10. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Great episode!! Been years since we had such a good Gundam! Hope they keep it up till the end. Really want to see a fight where Mika fights full time with those murderous eyes =x |
 |
| WHOA HOLD UP Mika and Ein hate being looked down upon. Both of them are extremely loyal to a certain person who didn't look down on them. So loyal, in fact, that they'd go as far as to risk their own lives just to be useful to that person. Both of them have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them have Martian blood. Could it be that they are somehow related? Also, in my last comment i said that Ein reminded me of those Wing grunts that were kinda important for a few episodes and then died. Most of those grunts were named after numbers, because that's just how Wing rolls. Incidentally, Ein is "one" in German. Additionally, most of those grunts piloted Leos; Robots that are dark green and have a single vertical yellow visor that looks kind of like an eye. Ein piloted a Graze; A robot that is dark green and has a single vertical yellow visor that looks kind of like an eye. |
