More gundams being hijacked in the first episode? XD it's like deja vu! Well nice start. Impulse looks pretty badass. The very beginning was bloody...seriously, that was a very traumatizing scene. Oh, and why is Lacus's dress like that? Half of her chest looks like it's falling out...=_= I liked her outifts much better in the first season. And as much as I like to agree with Cagalli that they shouldn't be developing more weapons, I also agree with that long black haired guy (Gilbert?) that it's necessary. Also, there are so many uniforms.

Pretty good action in the beginning of this episode imo so off to a good start here. War sucks doesn't it? Blood being spilled and bodies everywhere. Damn it.

The three intruders (I think one of them is named Sting) are pretty badass imo. They just went in and teared through their obstacles. Holy shit. Don't know why but Stella reminds me of Cagili in terms of appearance. Of course, she's more badass with knife and all.

Great start so far. Loved the OST.

Reminds me of the how Seed started right down to stealing new mobile suits. The only difference is that this time ZAFT is the one being targeted instead of the Earth Forces.

It's nice to see Athr..I mean Alex Dino and Cagalli. And so we meet our new protagonist, Shinn Asuka. Hmm, he reminds me a lot of Yzak for some reason. Maybe because they both hot heads ^^

It'll be interesting to re-watch this series again right after Gundam Seed. Hopefully it hasn't lost it's magic.

What a surprise, the military can't stop 3 kids from stealing their highest tech Gundams. Seriously what kind of security do these places have? Not to mention intelligence leaks...

But that aside good to see Athrun and Cagili again and I like the doggie gundam and the Impulse/ZZ ripoff Gundam

(rewatching)

The HD remaster for this season looks a lot better than the first.

First season started with Earth gundams being stolen. This season starts with ZAFT gundams being stolen.

... I can't just watch one episode...

Damn, that was a kick-ass first episode. I was expecting it to be very bad after everyone saying how bad this series is. So far it looks awesome to me.
The 3 hi-jackers looked cool, that one nigga even had a Zoid. Lmao
Also, the mobile suit that looked almost identical to a Zaku was pretty sweet.

Edit: Forgot to mention that Lacus' boobs got like 3x bigger. Which is always a plus.

Wow, most of the characters look like recolors of characters who already exist in this story. I'm going to become so confused; I already know.

Commentary on modern technology, eh? Go for the phone, you die.

No Kira or Lacus huh, well except for just seeing them in the break screen/ending and Kira look the most grown up after just these two years and Lacus...uhm...well her boobs got bigger that's for sure.

Also ofc the new protagonist parents and sister got killed in his introduction scene, cliché gundam lmao "we gotta make things more depressing".

It's Gundam, man. At this point I'd be surprised if military facilities didn't have giant holes in their security haha

Other than that the episode itself was pretty weird: entertaining as hell but was full of awkward moments like the boob grab followed by a bunch of kids performing acrobatics while shooting people. Felt good to see old faces again, though.

I really like Shinn's introduction in this one. This guy went through so much ever since that day his family died.

Impulse Gundam works like the original, I mean the plane Shinn is piloting is basically like the Core Booster...

Athrun in a Zaku? He did pretty well in a grunt MS though

The totally not Double Zeta one looks cool as well
Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not...
