Nothing new from what I could see, and it was just a remash of the OVAs again. Was mostly part of OVA 2, at least the first half of OVA 2. Also, the quality is absolute trash still in the TV series. Still don't recommend anyone ever to watch the TV Series.

Good episode, is basically the same as the OVA but this still has merits.... it's only 24 minutes as opposed to an hour, some people might prefer the episodes to be shorter.

I'm probably going to watch it to the end regardless just to see if they actually bother putting in anything new, but my hopes are low. And no, redrawing Banagher's hand in one scene doesn't count.

I'd initially suspected back when this was announced that Sunrise was simply cutting the OVA up into 25 episodes with roughly 17 minutes of content per episode + 3 minutes OP/ED + 15 second preview + a little under 4 minutes of recap at the start of every episode. This episode followed that exact pattern, so as far as I'm concerned, it's basically confirmed.

And that makes me sad. I know that this was a last-minute affair aiming to fill the time slot of one of their shows that was canceled due to under-performance, but I'd still hoped Sunrise would put some effort into it.

The OVAs are great, though. The TV version can't change that.

I'm watching it too. It's pretty decent as a re-watch, it explains some things more in detail in the short recaps. For first time watchers I'd definitely recommend OVA though, since it has a better edit.

I was tense, waiting for them to show something new saw the mistake made in the previous one, but in light of what we have seen, oversight remains incomprehensible had on the cut end of the episode saw earlier. Narrative that remains interesting and engaging enough, but the premise at the beginning of episode could be skipped, since it takes a certain suspense.

Yeah, they shouldn't have had the Audrey reveal in the fucking recap when it didn't even happen yet.

wow 4 minutes of recap

not even attack on titan was this bad

rip new footage

at least the ED is cool?

oh, and I didn't actually watch the recap, but I'm sure it doesn't spoil anything worse than what the OP/ED has spoiled already.

It just spoils what happens at the end of the episode.

if they just revealed her identity that doesn't actually count as a spoiler since you should already know who she is.

Must I watch previous Gundams to start the newer animation ones? If so, are there any seasons or forms of gundams I can start watching that don't require me to go back and watch the older gundams.

Notable stand-alone Gundam series:

Gundam Wing (1995)
Gundam SEED (2002)
Gundam 00 (2007)
Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (2015)

Of those, as a new viewer I'd recommend trying either Gundam 00 or Iron-Blooded Orphans. They're the best-balanced for a new viewer IMO.

All of the rest fall into one of four camps:

A: In the same timeline as the original Mobile Suit Gundam (Zeta, ZZ, Char's Counterattack, War in the Pocket, F91, Stardust Memory, Victory, 08th MS Team, MS IGLOO, Unicorn, Thunderbolt).
B: Have noticeable connections or callbacks to the original that may compromise them as stand-alone watches (Gundam X, Turn A, Reconguista in G).
C: Stand-alone, but generally considered to be terrible (Gundam AGE).
D: Offbeat series that are unrepresentative of the franchise as a whole (SD Gundam, G Gundam, Build Fighters).

In all fairness everyone should already have watched Unicorn by this point, given how much Bandai and Sunrised kept shilling it over the years, and how popular it is. Chances are every UC fan seen it already.

So besides the occasional newcomer who shouldn't be watching Unicorn in the first place, no one is getting spoiled.

So, it was wrong: a "false" Char with the right voice? -_-
Disappointed to not get an upgraded Sazabi. At least, the psychoframe is still exploited after such a short time gap. (too bad this technology is simply over-the-top, it was alright in a finale, but for a full series, it stands out as far too strong)

I'm not sure why they needed to do a 4-minute recap to start the episode. But other than that, this was probably the best episode so far. I don't mind them revealing Audry's real name as it was clear that she is a very important person and was not who she was pretending to be.

@Nurguburu I agree he is pretty cringe right now especially when he has a girl, he knows who actually likes him and he is oblivious to it.

@Vindicater I feel bad for her, especially because Minerva was lying to him all this time and he is still choosing her over the girl that he knows and actually likes him.
