great episode- cool to see the White Base (ish) ship taking off - also Turn A's saber spinning was great. Also the reference (I'm not really sure if it's to MSG or to Zeta Gundam) when the guys in the mobile suit and the commanders face comes on way too big and he gets scared.

Pretty good battle, and the Queen really needs to get control of her people.

ZZ, of course. Only something as ridiculous as that can be the result of ZZ. That joke was definitely funny enough to bring around a second time, too. All these in-house references are very out-of-place and fanservice-y overall, though. The Zakus are still epically anachronistic.

SHEESH. All these random romances developing for really no reason. The Poe one was laughable. What even? :S Ha, and Gavanne actually survived buying a wedding dress for Sochie. Unbelievable! He has to be marked for death, though. I mean, he's pursuing romance in a Gundam series! That's the most deadly action a fictional character could possibly take.

It really is a good joke I think - really simple, but just so physically funny looking.

Lady Kihel just watched those soldiers attack an innocent village and didn't do nothing? B*tch! She sould send those soldiers back to the moon. Honestly, this Wa Dom troop should die.

Yeah, random romance is pretty common in Gundam hahaha Speaking of that, I'm a bit sad because of Sochie. I think she likes Loran, but she's to immature to say that to him. I think she's going to marry Gavane without no reason at all... If he survives until the end of the series, of course.

The romance in Gundam is really random yeah, doubt Gavange will survive because he got all the death flags on him right now.

This time she ordered them to attack though, or at least gave them permission.

The guy rides a zaku. He really doesn't need anymore deathflags than that. That said, I still hope he makes it.

The extensive desolate land was impressive: you can't really imagine them through the show's approach undtil now.

So, the Queen (Kihel) send her troops "purchasing food" for winter and that's what happen? Nice grip on the soldiers. I wonder if their supplies shortage (due to lateness) isn't the fruit of the Moon trying to feed the feud on Earth.

Quite annoying to see Fran giving up on her goals. Also, I don't see how evocating wedding to illustrate her giving up is some sort of romance. People here love to throw this word at the slightest thing.

While I was waiting for a Loran / Guin conflict at first, this episode suddenly trying to set it up through dialogues was very weird.

5/5

Maybe I'm totally missing something (which is possible) but Kihel ordered the Moonrace soldiers to stop the Willgem from taking off. So.. is there an understanding that by stopping them she means "shoot them up.. but no killing." She knows her troops are nuts and the possibility of them not killing someone was about zero.. although they managed to not kill anybody.. but WTF.

The random romances are no surprise as this is a Tomino staple. I'm fining this show is moving slowly and I'm getting too confused with what is going on half the time.

I don't want Gavane to die, I don't want what happened in Zeta also happened in this show..

Corin is a cute guy after all, too bad he is stupid and loves fighting ...

Excellent episode. Lots of anticipation in the battle and hard look at moonrace burning shit and stealing food. Odd too the actual Lady would order the attack on the dig site knowing what would happen. (Insert female pejorative here)

Since being propositioned, Sophie has really calmed down. Giggle.

Destroying enemy mobile suits by tearing them apart - nice.

Giggling from that chance encounter between Corin and Diana. No way he's becoming a good guy.

While I wish Fran didn't give up on her career, it's interesting to see a hint on censorship from the Borjarno family (whose head we still have not seen, but his daughter is enough to give a judgement)

Starting to think that the Borjarno family + Guin will be the final villains...
Some nice developments this time. I really like Keith and Fran and seeing their current mindset explained was a treat.

The dance between Dianna and Loran in the previous episode now makes more sense that she wanted to give a farewell gift before she decided to return to the moon. I like how Fran Doll and Keith still stick to their job regardless of the war situation. White Doll got an OP move with the double-spinning saber to deflect all the bullets from the enemy. Looks like the Yellow base/ Willgem first flight test is a success. Gavanne is pretty smooth in his move to propose to Soechi, hope he survived till the end. On the end note, I want the romance in this Gundam handled much better than the other at least for Loran in the end. Seeing Loran realize that he can't remain a tool for Guin and has to stand up for himself is a neat small development.

I wasn't expecting to love this show so much, this was a really good episode.
I'm sure Loran will stand up for himself and stop being a tool for Guin, he is already starting to do it.
I wonder what sochie wanted to say ti loran, but mi mist admit that she is cute with Gavan, he is a good guy.
Hope nothing happens to Queen Dianna going on the Moon, she is a wonderful character.
