Char is in charge of the Zeon forces. Can't wait to see him duke it out with Asem

So Ms Murrue has taken over the Archangel with Mu la Flaga in charge of the MS pilots. Gotta admit though, i think Dique's daughter is worth keeping an eye on. Let the shipping war begin.

I loved the new Age Strider, and awesome double kill on Asem's part. I don't think Amuro or any Main character has done that.

I think yes, he looks even more evil.

I think this was quite great episode. They added some new OST during the battle scene which I liked and Asem kicked ass as always. Even Woolf got some awsomeness time but a death flag also imo :/

Considering how lousy the Federations mobile suits are i just can't understand why they don't use the first Gumdam too.
Btw seriously why is the Federation stuck with those horrible mobile suits? In the first conflict it made sense since they had peace and the UE was something like a terrorist group and not someone they were at war with. Things escalated as Flit and the others fought them but after so many years and having in their disposal Gundams and the type that Wolf pilots along with their creators why the hell didn't they use that knowledge to build a new army of Mobile Suits far more advance?
Their opponents obviously have more advance Mobile Suits so is ridiculous that they just sat there hoping that a single Gundam will save them. Actually i wonder how they managed to still exist all this years after the fight that ended the first arc since it seems that after that conflict it became a full blown war and they were fighting an opponent with more advance weapons and without a Gundam. So how did they managed to survive all this years that Asem was growing up?

Poor new girl. She got that horrible hair from her father.

Except the Federation mobile suits are fine. In episode 18 the Adeles were up against an X-Rounder in a custom mobile suit and in this episode two of the pilots were completely green. They all have the same rifles and Wolf took out two mobile suits no problem. The reason Max's rifle shot deflected off of the Dorado's forearm is because it has already been established that the Dorados have beam reflectors there; if he shot anywhere else he would have damaged it. Sorry to rant but I've seen this argument brought up a few times and it doesn't make any sense if you actually pay attention.

I don't think the Federation was fighting during all these years without the Gundam. I guess Flit was the Gundam's pilot for a few more years or at least until he became the Commander of the Federation.

Because Flit was busy developing the new Adele mobile suits and they are just beginning to be deployed to front lines all over. The Adele is based off of the AGE-1 where the Genoace II, that was used here, is based off Wolf's Genoace Custom he had at the beginning of the first arc. The guy who created the G-Exes is not part of the military if you remember so he wasn't helping the federation so much as he was doing to work to challenge himself. But there were better mobile suits out at the time in the form of the Shaldoll that was used within the colony at the beginning of the current arc. The Genoaces will be phased out to a much smaller roll and the Adeles will be brought in to fill out the military. Now I will agree that the Genoace II is not the best mobile suit out but it was reliable and proved itself a capable mobile suit with the right pilot. They could go and develop a truly amazing fleet of mobile suits but if the pilots behind them are not skilled enough to pilot them, then they're as good as a Torohachi in battle.

Aside from the Gundam, the G-Exes, and maybe the new Adeles that just came out, the Federations inferiority when it comes to mobile suits is completely obvious. The G-Exes rifle is likely custom made too since it's a custom suit. Truth is that the Federation suits have been inferior in speed, durability, versatility, weaponry, etc. up until now. The Vagan likely have more skilled pilots overall as well, especially when you consider the harsher conditions they grow up in and the higher incidence of X-rounders among Vagan. The Federation has only survived up until now thanks to plot.

lol Gundam AGE 2 looks like some previous gundams like wing gundam, zeta gundam. can be transform to flight mode. and gundam age 1 is going under maintenance or something so those without the AGE device are able to pilot it. i guess dique daughter is going to be the pilot lol

and yeah next episode desil will be showing up.

I really have to say, they drastically improved this arc. The characters are likable and the setup is a lot better this time around. I'm also glad they're bringing back the masked man in the red mobile suit...some people might complain about it, but having a Char clone in a red suit is tradition.

I like the choices in girls this arc too. Kana Hanazawa or Ami Koshimizu...you can't lose with either.

So..How old is Asemu now? Did he join the Federation right after graduating? He should be 18+ now. Thank god now people can't complain how the protagonist is too young (even tho Flit's as old as Uso and Judau) because he's one of the oldest (with only Domon being older if I'm not mistaken).

Just like punkster90 said, Alloy and Woolfe did seem like Ramius and Mu la Flaga. The whole scene looked reminded me of SEED.

Arisa's way better than Romary. Asemu should do her instead of Romary, but oh wel... Also Sakaguchi Daisuke (Uso's VA) is voicing one of the pilots. I disliked Romary in this episode.

Ooh, they're bringing some big guns in this arc. I think Sakaguchi Daisuke is that one guy with the newbies. Plus Koishimizu Ami as the new girl, sweet.
And did I hear Kawasumi Ayako as one of the crew in the Diva? My ears are tingling so much with all these great seiyuus.

I'm still upset though about the writing in here. Specifically Zeheart's true purpose in his infiltration. Just gathering data of the Feds? And not a bit of data on the Gundam? You gotta be kidding.
At least the AGE-2 is awesome. And Asemu seems to be getting trigger happy here. He may be off to a good(bad?) start here.
Okay episode.

Is that Desil in the preview? Oh shoot.

This pretty much. The fight, characters and general flow of the story are way better. It doesn't make up for the failed first part but at least the series' improving.

damn Asemu took two of them out at once and Arisa is cute. Romary being a bridge bunny that was to be expected, but at least she will help out and support better than Emily did.

Fuck yeah Decil is back next episode its been a while bro good to see ya again. <3

And I'm with you all in that. But beyond that...

Even the dreadful school arc in the beginning sounds cool now that the main character decided to join the military after finishing school, it gives a good sense of "reality" to it. And the Diva, Millais and Woolf finally appears to carry a whole new team alongside the Gundam! Asemu, is that you piloting it?

Then the Gundam gets a new model and battles are really better, looking cool. From now on this second arc finally starts again to show the promise of be good. Asemu... is that you in there? (lol, no, serious, Zeheart should stop trying to take screen time just to say that, your "spy/love triangle" plotline was the second worst cliche after the school setting, just put that random mask on and shut up).

Bonus points in "pleasekillmenow" if he does puts the mask on and Asemu starts pondering to himself "Zehart, is that you piloting the Vegan?" (Veigan? Vagan? No meat in Mars I guess? lol)

Yup, this arc is slowly getting there with this "friendship" theme going on...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I liked the last 2 Episodes better than the rest of the show where flint was the pilot.
It's great to see some of the old characters like Wolf etc. I really hope they include Grodek somehow...would love to see what happened to him...if he is still in jail or maybe even dead?
What I really thought first was that one of asemu's school friend would join the military also just to get killed by zeheart...you know like they did with Gundam Seed for example...to make the relationship between Asemu and Zeheart even more dramatic.
