Ein is like a messed up version of Setsuna. He literally became a mobile suit and spouted pseudo-religious rhetoric about Crank being the savior of the ex-CGS kids.

I like how Mikazuki just ignores his words in the fight.

I really liked how well done this series has been.

I think we got a great finale, and i actually don't know what they'll do with a whole new season. Yes, there are still some open ended situations, but I'm satisfied.

I'll give it a 9.8/10, and at this moment, it's my new favorite series.,

I was giggling when Ein was on angry rant mode and Mika was like "STFU". xD Ein I love you and all, but you really need to shut up.

They didn't show Gaelio's dead body so he is most likely alive.

Glad its getting another season this one was good 8/10

Surprisingly good final episode for this season, mainly the wrap-up, though I enjoyed the mobile suit battles too.

Still though, the characters and themes were far too mundane and trite for me, I'm going to stick with my 5 rating, though I'm optimistic about the next season. Sunrise should be at least be finished with Thunderbolt by then, so hopefully we'll get more budget, and if McGillis turns out to be the villain for next season, it could prove to have a pretty exciting story.

I felt most battles one-sided, Gjallarhorn was just a punchbag, Tekkadan lost only Biscuit, the ending was a bit too happy for my taste.Well, let's see if season 2 kill some more of these space rats.

I can't believe it's already over. I need more gundam tekketsu no orphans in my life *__*

This episode was pretty good. They answered my questions in episode 24 and actually shino and the girls are alive. That's a good news.

Another thing very interesting was that kudelia will no longer stay with tekkadan. I'm already curious to see how she will handle things by herself.

ps: this alaya vijnana system is going to kill the boys if they keep using it like that. Mika already lost his arm

As pissed as I was when we all thought that Lafter, and Azee had died, I was sad at how that all got addressed. I mean they are covered in blood and all but after re-watching that last episode it just doesn't add up to how they both lived through Ein's attack. BUT WHATEVER IT IS ANIME AFTER ALL.

Also, no hero kiss for Mika, man he's going to have a rough Second season unless he's in the Gundam.
Oh and that Speech made me raise the score back up a number (Also Mika's Fight) I really liked this episode and was so happy to see the ending credit's announce season 2 (Wish I didn't know about it before)

This will be the first anime where I import the Music CD, OMG it was so amazing just hearing that (Really testing my new speakers)

ALSO RIDE WAS ALIVE AFTER ALL, WAS WORRIED THAT HE DIED (Now the wait for the Dub and hope that's done well to even raise my score even more)

This may sound like I’m a heartless bastard but you are going to tell me that Lafter, Azee and Shino survived that vicious attack (granted they were piloting Gundam frames minus Shino) but come on they were practically unscathed I expected to see them in crutches or wheelchairs if they survived but they were fine and dandy, are you kidding me! Mika got a heavy price for protecting every one he is blind from his right eye and can't move his right arm anymore unless he is inside the Barbatos so this means he can still protect the ones he cherish the most (I can live with that)...

McGillis is not to trust you hear that Tekkadan… He was/is the true villain Bastard, he sacrificed a woman that he knew was in love with him and uses her like a pawn in a game of chess to protect the King (himself) not only that he kills his only friend/best friend (he confirmed that by his own words to Gali Gali farewell speech) and them he poker face his fiancée Almiria (Gali Gali sister) like it was nothing. Damn, Son! Hope she figure this out and take him down in the future it would be poetic justice…

The mobile suit battle between McGillis and Gaelio's was just cruel, jesus. I wanted Gaelio and McGillis to team up with Tekkaden and let him be the right hand man instead of that Hitler dude. Ahhh what a shame

I liked Ein in the beginning until he went insane, glad Mikazuki finished him off once and for all.i

I'm still cheering for Mikazuki and Atra ending, if not, harem ending is good too. I want season 2 already, I wonder if it's gonna be a timeskip in season 2

Better than expected. After G no Reconguista my expectations for new Gundam was reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy low.

First time saw Kudelia i was already annoyed with the prospect of another crap character like Releena from Gundam Wing ( she is the 2° on my most hated characters ever created) . Glad I was wrong.

Will watch season 2 for sure.

now thats taking it a bit far, ein actually put up a fight and caused permenant damage on mika thats likley the start of him progressively losing function of his body, jerid got pushed into a ship blowing up after getting the fucking surprise attack on kammile.

I do agree that even if i am happy that they are alive as i like the characters, they should of had ein kill off named characters, its kind of the same problem ZZ had with retconning named characters deaths in favor of killing off literal who villains

Bullshit ending. Still nothing between Kudelia and Mika! I know that romance isn't in the main focus but even so, after that kiss nothing happed between them, do they even feel anything for each other!? Other than that, it was pretty weak episode escpecialy for last one!

hey remember that time Kamille kicked a cripple's ass and threw him off a mountain?

that cripple was Jerid.

so I don't see how anybody could advance the argument that Ein was even more useless

Thought it was a good end to the season. I was curious to see how they would end it since it seemed like there was so much left and only one episode to go. Though having a second season now clears a lot of that one as well.

This was probably my first Gundam that I watched as new episodes aired so I did really enjoy it. I'll probably try to catch up on a few other Gundams until the second season comes out.

A very solid end to the first cour. McGillis was insane. I loved how he destroyed Gaelio, but most of all I enjoyed Ein's death. I would've liked to see him torn apart by Mika's sword, but either way it was good. I am glad that none of the girls died, because I was sad that I won't be seeing them again. The next season will be heavenly. A lot of developments will go down.

Enjoyable ending to an enjoyable series and glad that season 2's coming. Hopefully then we'll see more of the flashback of Mika and Orga. Here's hoping Orga also becomes a better leader, too.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

So McGillis bascily spelled out what I thought he was planning.
Though, the way he talked to Gaelio and his father makes me think there is actually some longer, deeper plan involved.
By the way, it might just have been me, but did McGillis miss the cockpit? To me it looked like he stabbed slightly to the right.

I must say I am a sucker for happy endings, so I am happy that Azee and Lafter are still alive.

If Arbau wants Tekkadan as it's military advisors, why are they leaving?

A lot of build up for this last episode and not much delivery. McGillis vs Gaelio was more interesting than lunatic Ein vs Mika.. Ein was just irritating the entire time kicking Mika's ass but we all know who the winner from that fight.

Glad to see there's a second season but I hope they can step it up.

It was entertaining and I had fun watching it. Glad to see it is getting a 2nd season and refreshing after Reconguista which was a huge disappointment

There were some boring episodes and it took some time until it got interesting. But I liked the "brother stuff" between Mika and Orga and Orga and Naze Turbine. Politics were interesting and better understandable than in Reconguista.

I also liked the fights and the end fight with Ein and McGillis vs. Gaelio.

8/10 for me and this episodes is 5/5. Good ending - would also have worked find as a final episode without 2nd season.

What clean ending. Very sad to that the anime took the easy way out.

All that cycle of revenge, and violence, stuff is bullshit since the main characters just overcame it like that? Mika rekt and killed Carta, so the next episode SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE JUXTAPOSITION of Tekkadan now receiving casualties in the same manner, on top of those kids willingly committing suicide via being distractions.

But no, we got the usual Shonen bullshit, and only the manipulated Gaelio, and Ein, suffer at the hands of corruption, and violence.

I mean seriously, YOU COULDN'T KILL OFF EVEN ONE OF THOSE THREE CHARACTERS?!?! This creative team sure is a cowardly lot.

Sure Kudelia would've succeeded in her mission, but Tekkadan should've been in shambles, and distraught after that horrific battle.

6/10 for the episode, mainly because of McGillis, Kudelia's speech and the battles. McGillis saved this season finale, and he is the ONLY, ONLY, ONLY reason to look forward to season 2. Nothing else is interesting enough, but him.

The man McGillis is on a war path of revenge.
Now I really want to know his backstory, for him to be able to kill his childhood friends in order to achieve his dream means some real shit must have gone down in his youth.

Personally I don't see it as cycle of revenge but more about motivation, sure both the Tek kids and Ein let revenge fuel their emotion but the difference between them is that the Tek kids didn't let revenge turn them into monsters, sure they were more pragmatic but they did have goals that weren't based on revenge and pretty much fought for a better life unlike Ein who threw away any chance of him living a normal life and sacrifice his humanity for power.
