I have to say this episode was a lot of fun. Puru was introduced and it seems like she is another crazy gundam pilot.

The only time until now that this series has shown something better than the previous one. Haman with her hair like that. She looks incredibly hot like that.

So, finally the story started to progress a little. I was beggining to think that this series wouldn't go nowhere --"

Also, Puru is annoying but at least she is better than the female Cyber-newtypes from Zeta (Sarah, Four and Rosamy). Oh, and of course, she is a nymphomaniac.

I already know Puru is going to get on my nerves. These kids, man...

Haman is always a plus. Even more so when she sends out a demonic aura.

Lastly, Judau sucks at sneaking in. How stupid you have to be to tell the enemy that you're from the enemy ship?

Amazing episode!

Damn the episodes keep getting better and better!

Haman is back!! I love her hair in this style! All comb down instead of that wig style she loves to wear XD

So that Puru Puru girl seems to be one of those girls who gets all Yandere if things doesn't go their way :P

Still, it was nice to see Judau and Puru, lol i wonder what Reina's reaction would look like if she saw Judau and Puru Puru?

I'm glad that idiot Beecha and Mondo reduced to slaves for Axis. Serves you right.

Woo sexy Haman!!! When she had the glasses on, she look badass as Char!

Speaking of Char, hopefully he appears in this series ^^

Wow, glad they didn't tone down Haman's sinister aura. She seems more menacing this time around.

Good stuff!

I want more of this episodes and less fillers please!

Can't wait for the next episode!

The show has been kinda getting slowly better since Lu showed up.

Puru is an interesting character.

It bothers me how they keep not going to wear normal suits and going into space. Don't they know that would be bad?

Finally starting to pick up.

Puru is adorable and ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°),clingy non blood related "imouto" character appealing even in 80s anime

Haman with her hair like that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dayum, Haman got that Kanye swag, tho


It's a shame though when you realize that 24 minutes watching Haman lazying out in the sun would've made a better episode than what we ended up getting. Half an hour of concentrated stupidity and yet another autistic imouto Newtype character to add to the main cast: good Lord, I fear Puru-chan is going to be ten times as annoying as her stupid name suggests.

Bah, at least I got a good laugh.

"Ple, ple, ple, ple, ple, ple" - Elpeo Ple (MSGZZ)


It wasn't at all what I expected after the ep16. It was very comedic for an intrusion but strangely I did not mind it and enjoyed the humour as well as the few serious bits.

Ple is so young o_O She might be a cyber Newtype but the Titans ones had severe personality troubles while she appears to be constant/stable in her childish behavior). Despite her age, she even get the bath scene (I was betting on Lucas or Elle).
"You're not the kind to kill people" Will Judau try to save an exploited NT too? Please let him succeed after all those depressing failures Camille went through.

Haman new haircut is... disappointing but she seems to be herself (not like in Mashymre's "flashbacks"). Also, with Char's absence, they had to find someone else to wear cool sunglasses and be lazy under the sun in a very revealing suit.
Where did Axis find the Psycho-Gundam?! Wasn't it lost on Earth in the Himalaya?

(I despise those two traitors, they are only thinking about themselves.)

In other series, this episode would get only a 4/5 but the contrast with ZZ is too strong to not get a 5/5.


@Roy_Focker That's an attempt at what we call "comique de répétition" in french (something that keeps happening in order to produce a comical effect, often used in a certain genre of theater pieces). I guess the english way to put it would be "running joke"?

@St0rmblade Glad you appreciated the new character. She might be hugely popular in a certain faraway land but among westerners and internet people, she's usually decried.
It's "Ple", yes, "puru" being the transliteration of the japanese sounds (you probably already "googled" the name's origin anyway).

You will see Mashymre again, but... well, I let you see it by yourself.
You will
again.

Wtf is with all these dummy asteroids in the past episodes, how does one make a “dummy asteroid” anyway?

This episode was pretty funny, poor Judau just wants to find his imouto. I’m curious to find out more about Puru, it seems like she is a cyber-newtype with similar brainwashing to Rosamia or she is just crazy in some way.

Haman was looking cute with those shades too, I like her hair like that. The face-to-face with Judau was epic as well. Now lets get the plot going shall we?

Fun episode. Puru is really cute due to her playful nature, but that also makes her really dangerous.

It was really weird to see Haman with that hairstyle and in such a formal suit. Did she just get out of shower or what? And then she was just chillin' on the balcony in those sunglasses xD

Elpeo Ple (Puru?) is...something. Crazy but entertaining to watch.

I don't mind some plot convenient stuff in this episode, it was just fun and refreshing and I was obviously very happy to see Haman back, as well as the internals of Axis (though I got an idea after reading "Char's deleted affair" for a bit). Now will we see Mineva and Mashymre again? And why is Glemy occupying such a high position?

By the way, what happened to Shinta and Chara? When Judau separated, they should've ended up in their fighter again, right? Did they escape to Axis too?

The uniform of Axis elite guards looks dope.

How is there gravity inside Axis? Axis doesn't appear to rotate, so the only way there could be centrifugal forces at play is if the asteroid is hollow and there is a habitation section inside it that is rotating.

Nice to get a glimpse at Zeon civilian society. You'd think that the ceiling of the town could be painted sky blue or have screens that display a blue sky, to at least give the illusion of normalcy.

Puru is... um... wow.

Puru at the end there was sorta terrifying. It's like seeing a child with a gun. They have no clue about the consequences of what they are doing and its scary and you don't know what's going to happen.
