Matilda really went out with a smash hit. She was cool, with her lovely scent of a woman and all.

Now I guess everyone is getting new mobile suits. They get bigger weapons, so we get bigger weapons. Can't wait for the next episode.

Matilda's funeral was way classier than Ryu's -- at least everybody saluted her, and only Sayla, having a solid reason to, actually cried.

As always good to see this show having the balls to kill its characters off quite steadily. For a second I thought even Bright would succumb to that fever.

Amuro's reaction to Matilda's blown kiss was hilarious.

Our allies are falling, so soon after Ryu too. Not that she was a permanent member of the crew, but she made a lasting impression on them. War has taken away Amuro's first love, and it makes me worried for who will drop in the upcoming episodes.

Death makes the happier moments of an episode stand out far more. The photograph was cute and seeing Amuro continue to mentor Sayla was as well. I love how we get to see Amuro and Sayla get along. It feels really organic.

Not to mention that combat, fighting against Hillbillies in a forest (dub), especially those three-on-one slow-mo cuts, yeah it was rad. Super rad. But like with Ryu, perhaps as a way to differentiate the coolness from the anti-war message, we immediately snap out of super cool combat into the loss of life. It will still sell toys, but it will also make us reflect on the ramifications of violence! Or, something.

I have to admit that Matilda's funeral was treated more seriously than Ryu a few episodes ago, ofc until Amuro kept yelling her name lol. One Black Tri-Stars pilot is dead!

This was amazing.

What the absolute fuck is wrong with these previews???? They fucking spoil the big thing for next episode in a second, I'm never letting a single one of these shitty previews ruin an episode for me, it's been more than once, what the hell were they thinking????

It was fun to watch Matilda interact with the boys on White Base. I liked how she was kind of playful with them but not accepting weird advances either. It was sad to see her go. It also felt like her passing was sort of sped up a bit. The episode didn't really give enough screentime to her fate with it happening in the blink of an eye.

Poor Matilda-san :(

Whats really annoying is just how much they give away in the episode previews, like the first line of the one before was "matilda-san dies", need to be quicker on the pause button

There were some interesting moments with Mirai here. The way she looked at Matilda and got scared out of nowhere seemed like a kind of premonition...?

The preview in this episode also spoiled something pretty big for next episode, so that’s cool. I wish the ending song played first so I had time to turn on my controller and skip to the next episode...

Poor Matilda. The White Base crew keep blaming themselves for these deaths so hopefully they keep taking this war seriously

Sayla didn't even fire one shot from that super powered flying double beam gun. She's had more than enough chances. Whether it's a handgun she's holding or a gundam she's not fired so many times when she's had the chance to.

She doesn't want to really take command on the bridge unless it's for a one off thing. Her character is as flaky as Mirai's.

Bright is the best named character in this show.

Well, this didn't hit me at all since it was already spoiled the episode before. Matilda was likable but like most of the characters that die in this show they don't really get enough spotlight to make the viewer care too much about it. They are just wasting characters in my opinion.

The Tristar guys had some good dodging skills but the battle didn't feel all that engaging to me. Guess the repetitive nature of the show starts to grate on me. It's just battle after battle at the moment. Hoping for a larger scale battle with M'quve soon.

RIP Maltilda-san. Damn that general for not even caring that one of his lieutenants is dead. Amuro is becoming a great pilot on the other hand.

so, matilda's brains got smashed if i viewed that right. why do they keep killing off the few character i actually give a rat's arse about? if they take a photograph in an anime, someone is going to die, clearly...

so far the only things i'm not liking about this anime are the death scenes, for someone like me that cries very easily, i'm not much saddened by this show, at least for now

Black Tristar. A name I can get behind. A mobile Armor was at one point deployed by the enemy, practically. How useful would pride be if they lose the war? The doms were delivered. The stars are sent from the moon. he shows her a terrific shortcut. everyone wants the red one. She even has him jumping for joy. The stars are vicious. Everyone seems to be a double agent. She joined the supply core because it is the only division in this war that tries to create instead of destroy. The dark stars are southern. She has an incredible revelation, and then keeps it a secret. They have a member of the worry, some type in charge. Gundam was hidden inside the plane, just as there is a plane hid inside of it. They are all still aggressively southern. Allegedly she died and he didn’t even do anything cool as result. Witnessing this happen didn’t even inspire him to take out another one of the suits, but hopefully it will in the future. Stop. 3
