----------------------------------------
Dianna Soriel is pretty forgiving. Commander Phil and co. are guilty of high treason and kidnapped her. And they even get to keep their positions!

And now we know why Corin knew it was a Gundam. He's as old as Dark History itself and the prolongued hibernation made him a bit crazy.

Yeah now I guess I can forgive Corin to a degree, but really a fully pardon for Poe, Phil and the rest?! Not even a brightslap...

Exactly! There's little slapping for a Gundam series, huh?

Indeed. Poe especially had a few slaps coming.

While I don't really like how Phil and the rest got pardoned so easily I guess it's that or all of them get slaughtered.

Oh man, I'd love to see Bright "correct" some people on this show...Poe...-cough-

Corin is much more sympathetic now. I actually have sufficient background information to understand him slightly. :D

I really liked the battle in this episode and the ost at the end with Dianna.

To be fair, the quality has made up for the quantity.

Yeah, if everyone deserving it got slapped, this episode would have a five-minute long scene of nothing but Dianna slapping treasonous bastards. I'd probably enjoy that actually...

So "rich boy" is now stuck with a belligerent man he knows he can't abuse anymore and he's still hoping for the better. -_- I guess he will either lose everything or lose his life ultimately.
On the other hand, as pathetic as it sounded, I liked the way he desperately tried to say something (confess his love?) when Loran escaped.

You could get the idea behind Corin earlier but this was good to get a confirmation.

I agree that Phil and the counsellor should have been punished in some way. But I guess it would be like punishing a child for watering people after you gave him a water pistol. Dianna is the one who decided to weaponize her civilian army and their "peaceful" arrival on Earth then made several other poor decisions, thus starting their taking the big head.

4/5

@St0rmblade The "oxymore" was there to pinpoint the contradiction in Dianna's "plan".

Excellent. Enjoyed this immensely.
I hope Guin dies a horrible death. Never wanted someone to die so much, except for maybe Katejina.

I think Diana was too optimistic about Phil's qualities as a person...but even then, that was quite an easy reunion. And where do all these new battleships come from?! I remember only one besides Soleil. The only plausible explanation is that these are reserves from the orbit (why weren't they used earlier? Due to Diana's resistance?)

Somehow I keep noticing irrelevant details...now those white signs on a red WaD that looked like they were painted manually.

That fisheye lens segment felt completely random but it was good.

Damn, I'm even slightly disappointed that the most obnoxious pilot of Gym's army destroyed the WaDom...

Isn't it a bit contradictory? Though you might call an army formed from civilians that way, the distinctionbetween this and a full-blown military are pretty vague.

P.S. The most important thing about this show is that there's no Haro. He didn't survive through the ages :(

Dianna's return to the Soleil was so good. The music perfectly matched the scene. Maybe the Queen is a bit too forgiving (she tried to stab Midgard with her own hands a few episodes ago though lol) but at this point having allies is more important. And she can still slap them later.

Wasn't Poe trying to be Queen by taking part in a coup and trying to kill her (double)?
What is she crying about when she meet Diana again
I feel like I've missed a whole episode worth of character development

Old faces reunited. Corin, Dianna Counter and others are now joining forces to defeat the Ghingham army. Now that Turn A is retrieved back, we are in end game now.

Lol.... Commander Phi and his troops coming back to the flock just like that felt so forced.

Guin is the Katejina of Turn a Gundam, Phil and poe didn't deserve forgivness, but Dianna is awesome so they are spared.
my favorite Gundam female character.
