What?! Red Ace is dead already?! Ha! That's what he gets for going 3 on 3 with those new mobile su--- I mean METAL ARMORS. This show's starting to grow on me. The action was pretty good, and they completely annihilated that Empire battleship.

These guys are 16 years old? I guessed early to mid 20s holy crap.

Light is my favorite character thus far. Confidant and actually leads. Tapp is also fun, being a good hearted bear and was playing music in his cockpit 28 years before Io Fleming would in Gundam Thunderbolt. Sadly our main protagonist, Kaine, seems to be rather dumb... and a little psychotic. It feels really jarring how Kaine casually blew up a ship that had hundreds of people on board and doesn't feel anything about it. Quite the contrast to a Tomino Gundam series. Amuro, Judau, and Seabook, expressed hesitation, shock, and sorrow when they first killed people.

    Kaine is voiced by Kikuchi Masami, who voiced Ino in Gundam ZZ and Jou in Digimon.

    Tapp is voiced by Ootsuka Houchuu, aka the voice of Yazan from Zeta Gundam and Jiraiya in Naruto.

    Light is voiced by Kenyuu Horiuchi, the voice of Mashymre from Gundam ZZ and Pain/Nagato from Naruto.





Unless there is magic, artificial gravity plating, then the habitable sections of the ship must be rotating inside those red cylinders. That would suggest that either the rotational speed of the cylinders is slow (so less than Earth's gravity), or the cylinders are obscenely huge (and by extension, the whole ship). Then again, Gundam has always played fast and loose with gravity. In Zeta, ZZ, and Stardust Memory, we visit cities on the moon but everyone acts as if there is full earth gravity there.

I like the AI assistant installed in the mech. Should've become a standard in Gundam, along with the fully 3D cockpits from Zeta.

How did Kaine get the attachment for his mech back? In the first episode, it was ejected when he drew his beam saber, and then the colony exploded before he got put it back on, so presumably that attachment was either blown up or sent spinning away into deep space, never to be recovered. The only explanation is that the "refugee ship" had a spare attachment.




Brutal!
