Although I wasn't too fond of the plot either, the ending was sort of interesting to think about. How the old man felt suffocated inside a lonely colony, yet the argama crew couldn't even comprehend that viewpoint because they were so used to the horrors of the outside world. It's kind of neat to think about how one's heaven is another's hell, I guess is what I'm saying.

That felt Star Trek-ish. Episodic adventures don't suit Gundam, though. Move on with the story, if there is one please.

Poor Mirai. :l

i never really found this series that bad until now, this was fucking horrible, this was even worse than episode 15 of the original series.

also lol at roux saying it was a peaceful colony, did she forget they just stopped a fucking war among 2 tribes over a stationary mech

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

How long does the "You're princess is in another castle!" shtick with Leina lasts? It's pretty annoying and it has only been 3 episodes.

I guess it's sorta interesting of the conflicting ideas between the old man and the Argama crew but it felt slapped on at the last minute. The rest of the episode was stupid filler like the first part.

Good episode!

Though it's probably one of those filler episodes. I was hoping Sarasa and Rasara would provide something new, but guess not.

Someone should really bright slapped Mondo and this stupid bitch Becha kid. Seriously, the amount of trouble they had caused to Argama. Death is the only way these stupid kids will learn.

As usual Bright helping Emily :P Oh Bright you two timer you!

That stupid Glem really needs to lay off Leina. This idiot is just attracted to females, no matter who they are as long as they look cute.

Can't wait till Judau beat this asshole to a pulp.

Kinda sad for the old guy, i kinda understand how he feels. Living in a isolated world where you worship these machines as Gods, while the outside there are only tools for war.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Gosh, what a terrible mini-arc. Never again, plz.

So this shitty old man is gonna tell me he basically pushed his colony to the brink of civil war just because he wanted to fucking go outside? Seriously? Couldn't you find an even more stupid reason, granddad? Judau irritates me at times but he was right for calling you out on your bullshit.

Also what the hell are you doing Bright? For a married man with children, you sure are getting comfortable with this Emily girl. If you cheat on Mirai-san I'll officially have lost all respect I formerly had for you, Captain.

Bitcha and Mondo are a plague upon UCverse, and their enabler friends aboard the Argama are even worse for letting them do whatever the hell they please.

Leina needs to either die and fuel her onii-chan's rage or go back to the Argama soon, because the kidnapping shtick is getting real old real fast.

A Zeon relic? How could the colony regress so much in 7years? -_- The conclusion was nice but didn't make up for the double episode.;

So, there will be a Elle/Judau thing? She's just waiting for him to make a sign?

1/5


@CodeBlazeFate Did you become wiser overnight? You're so calm compared to before when you demonstrated a burning passion for the show. Is it the point where you decide to let it go and accept it as the thing it is?
I hope for a stronger reaction once you watch the third Moon-moon episode.

Shamelessly wasting an opportunity to present something good instead of endless space battles taking up half of almost each episode with no result at all. A colony side story might've been a good opportunity to make something interesting outside of space to advance the plot or develop the characters.

Nice point.

I'm glad that the people of Moon Moon have realized that technology isn't such as bad thing, well, sort of. The two sisters are also on good terms again.

Mondo & Beecha are still traitors though.

"Don't wait for us! Oh, they didn't"
"Wait...I have a wife" - HAHAHA that was the best line from Bright, pretty self-aware. You better stop playing with that woman, captain!

Those larpers are surely horrible at fighting if they can't even shoot three sitting targets out of cover.

And so the point of two entire episodes was to make Chara hostage of Argama and listen a little lecture by a delusional grandpa in the end? Superb. The whole idea with a tribe, a robot deity, a corrupted "priest" in power and everything else in this arc is sort of a cliche now, though it probably wasn't back when ZZ was airing. But anyway, this show is shamelessly wasting an opportunity to improve upon Zeta and present something good instead of endless space battles taking up half of almost each episode with no result at all. A colony side story might've been a good opportunity to make something interesting outside of space to advance the plot or develop the characters...but we got this.

Hm... we've seen O'Neill Cylinders before as the default space colony in UC (both enclosed and island 3 types), and we saw a Stanford Torus in Unicorn (the one that got blown up). I think this might be the only Bernal Sphere space colony in Gundam?
