Holy crap. That was a good episode.

These Titan dudes are NOT NICE. I want Bright-san to kill the Morpheus-looking dude pronto.

Taking hostages = dirty
Taking somebody's parents hostage = very dirty
Taking a kid's parents hostage = evil

Damn, I already have a hatred for the Titans.

sure it was they're kid, but that doesn't mean they should die b/c of his decision

some of the music they play is SO similar to the dramatic music in ga-rei zero, although with a more 80s sound behind it. Interesting how many little influences there are in every anime.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting this. I mean, I expected her to die when I saw her in the capsule...but I didn't expect the situation itself to happen. This series just caught my interest.

I guess they needed to do a little extra in order to justify Kamille's insane actions on previous episodes. But in all honest I was already expecting something like that when Bask mentioned his parents, even more when they were brought onboard.

Those TITANS are wrong...!

And no one had to die if directions were followed better (KAMILLE!). Then again, Jerid didn't seem aware what was in the capsule (I guess to avoid hesitancy when it came to shooting Mrs. Bidan).

I think I can see Emma joining AEUG. How do you say that, anyways? OW-G?


AEUG should be the acronym for Anti-Earth Union Group (or government). So I always thought it was "A.E.U.G". But, in katakana, it's read as エゥーゴ; that is "Eūgo" .

I'll go listen closely.

If Kamille wouldn't have rushed to capsule I wonder what would have happened? Would Titans have been big enough dicks to kill hostage when they got what they wanted?

At this rate Kamille is going to go crazy.

Well I was under the impression that he already did long ago, lol.

Is it bad that I laughed when the Titan officer slapped Bright in the back and he nearly collapsed before saying "thank you, sir" ?

Anyway, another good episode. Bitch move on the Titans side to use Kamille's parents as hostages : that's nasty. Half expecting the poor kid to try and kill the blond rocker Titan Jerid now.

Wow what tragic episode

First off why the hell hasn't Bright haven't been promoted to at least general rank? The fact that his team lead Earth Federation to victory should have least gave him 2-3 ranks.

Feel sorry for him being beat up like that. Despite that asshole Bask, his voice actor is amazing(Daisuke Gouri; Heihachi Mishima from Tekken RIP)

Lila Milla Rira reminds me of Hamon, and the other game might be a rip off of Ramble Ral.

Reccoa might be the Sayla of this series XD

Damn Emma is pretty gutsy to go to an enemy ship unarmed.

Bastard Titans using Kamille's mother as a bargaining chip. How the hell did she even end up there!?! Damn Bask probably kidnapped her.

Damn Jerid probably assumed the capsule was loaded, but titans probably faked and provoke it so it may be called an "accident"

I hope Emma goes to AEUG soon!!

Feel sorry for Kamille, witnessing your mother to die in front of you is not a sight for young teens.

Damn i didn't think they would pulled this death so early. Zeta Gundam is freaking dark as hell!!

And I LOVE it! Can't wait for more episodes!!

Kamille's still a jerk, but that was a really dirty move on the Titan's part.

The thing is, Jerid doesn't even know what he's done. It's hard to swallow, but I would say he's innocent. Bask is the killer here.

Everyone keeps arguing over what the Titans actually are. If they're part of the Federation's forces, then the Federation should be able to control them. Whether you call them mercenaries or not makes little difference.

It looks like it may be awhile before we're given better context for everything that's happening.

Another excellent episode.

I can't really feel sorry for Kamille as he's really a stupid asshole and he basically killed her himself. I do feel sorry for his mom though, she didn't do anything to deserve that. I also kinda feel sorry for that guy who shot his mother, he was tricked into doing something he'd probably never do knowingly.

If they keep up this steady one-bitchslap-per-episode rate, my counter is going to be utterly useless.

Anyway, damnit Bright, you're better than this!

I feel like the base of the A.E.G.U. is very foreign. It doesn't feel "like home" like the White Base did. I'm curious if this is done on purpose, or if it will grow on you over time. The fact that the entire crew is unfamiliar is of course a part of this.
I am looking forward to seeing the negotiator become a permanent part of this crew, though. Her reaction to the letter she delivered was really nice.

So the Titans tried to negotiate with the A.E.U.G. by using their own Federation personnel as hostages... Did someone really think the A.E.U.G. would give up on their war spoils just for the life of two random enemy citizens? Does Bask have any resemblance of a brain inside that big, bald head of his? Come on! That whole plan made no f***ing sense.

The music is still great. Character designs are rad. Mecha is awesome. Now we're starting to get drama worthy of all the rest. Excellent episode, and now I'm hooked!

By the way, the Rightstuf bluray looks amazing, but I feel it wasn't cleaned up quite as well as 079. I've never seen a better restore job than in that series.

Already one dramatic death after only three episodes? o_o
I should feel sorry for Kamille (after all, he cried), but I can't digest his complain right before her mother died. (something like "why are you always on my road") That's a magnificent thought to have when you are rescuing your family. -_-
At least, he seemed less annoying than before.

I knew I wasn't attached to the White Base immediately, no fear despite it being the same again.

Again, awkwards lines of dialogue everywhere (particularly the monologues). I hope tgis will be rectified later in the show because 50episodes will be a long road with Camille + such dialogue.

3/5


Miss Sheen's awakening was announced. I hoped she and Bright would join some inner Federation group opposed to the Titans, but seems she will choose the ÆUG*.
Also, what was this last question? XD "will she become Camille's new love?" Really? Isn't he a bit young, and isn't it too soon for that brat to start a love affair (age, situation, mourning, the fact they don't know each other apart the datas he read in her mind)? Or is it a Newtypes soulmates thing again ? (was OK with Lalah, but so soon after...)

*edit: oops, it appeared that the ÆUG is indeed a part of the Federation forces gone "rogue".

The story is even more bloody and ruthless enemies are not of sissies and storytelling gains in credibility. well-run narrative, the action is well-measured and well crafted. Drawings and animations, decent as they are old. Opening and ending catchy, their style, makes me nostalgic.

You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Are the Titans evil? Yes. Is this all Kamille's fault? YES. These first three episodes have been Kamille making some of the stupidest decisions I have ever seen, and it is in this episode he now has to deal with the consequences of them. The central problem is this Kamille has fully accepted the propaganda that the Titans are murderous bastards, yet he never seemed to think they'll go after his family once he crossed the Titans. How surprised can you be if the organization you view as pure evil does evil things?

Poor Bright man. He's just trying to do his fucking job and these Titans are walking all over him. At least SOME of the Zeons were relatable. All of these guys are just assholes. I wonder why Char is going by the name "Quattro." Most people seem to know he is the Red Comet. "Newtypes aren't psychic." I mean, the original Gundam series suggests otherwise, but you do you, Char. Wouldn't it be bad if the Mk. II is using the same material for armor as the Mk. I? These events occur 10 years after the original, so I'm sure technology has adapted to combat the incredible armor of the original Mk. I. I should have known something was fishy when both of Kamille's parents were ordered to board the Titan ship. A lot of slapping going around. He just slapped his wife like it was nothing. What was the point of the scene with Reccoa telling the Captain to put on his normal suit? That scene lasted a good 30 seconds yet he didn't even put the suit on. Waste of time. I honestly thought the white flag was going to be a decoy. They'll kill Kamille's parents? Are these Titans dictators or something? That's pretty fucking low. Is hologram technology effective enough to pull off such a realistic hologram in the first place in U.C. 0087? I think Sheen was just trying to find reasons that the Titans aren't as bad as they appear. Did the bomb intentionally not go off? All the Titans managed to do is kill Kamile's mother and make him angry. He's in a fucking Gundam dudes. You don't want to make him angry.

It's probably a good thing Kamille went out on his own. Otherwise he would have had to deal with a bunch of adults deciding the fate of his parents for him and I think we all know how well that would have gone for everybody involved. Still though, seeing your mom get depressurized and fried/frozen has gotta be traumatic. I can't really blame him for being obstinate and hard to work with at this point :p I saw the tears of time.
