| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah more Thunderbolt and its classic music. This was thrilling for the second season's first episode. "Cornelius do you have a tissue"? Looks like the War of Independence is still ongoing. I also feel like the animation quality for this slightly improved. Quite a catchy song played throughout the episode as well. Overall, I think it was a nice start for the second season. That Bianca girl also seems kinda interesting. |

| It's gonna be a nice ride! 8/10 for Episode 1 |
| I like this new girl A LOT...Great personality on her and it's nice to see Daryl and Lo again Lo's new Gundam is awesome too |
| oh the second lover of Io is here heh i did not know that Bianca has red hair, i thought in the manga she is blonde and fuck yeah the Atlas Gundam is here! |
| Pretty good re-start for something I wasn't excited to see again (after the first salve of shiny but empty episodes). Too bad it will again be a mini-conflict revolving around some Zeon remnants. The same graphism, let's hope they left the shock seeking behind them. There were more still pictures (but as long as they're well drawn). Still a big focus on the machinery but it doesn't say much about the next episodes since a reentry needed some attention grabber. The music is still good. And still used both as effectively and awkwardly as before. 0080? The psychommu discovery, like that, is very disappointing with how simplistic it is, new (anachronistic) models keep coming right qfter the Federation dumped money in producing their GMs and Pegasus. A delay of a few months/a year would look less suspect. 3/5 Zaku / GM / A Baoa Qu were a winning trinity for the first minutes. @Stark700 In 0080, the Zeon War is done. What came after were skirmishes with remnants (in space or on Earth) while the biggest stack of survivors went hiding on a colonized asteroid in the belt (Char Aznable included). @CodeBlazeFate Don't know why they left the pay-per-view system behind but you have two weeks to watch this fifth ONA: https://youtu.be/Dl7GJBFpTW8https://youtu.be/Dl7GJBFpTW8 @CodeBlazeFate That's what I wrote and thebreason why I warned you to watch it while you still could. ^^" edit: 8.6 after a re'start episode?! when some shows long past and finished hardly get the 7-8 points they deserved... edit @forexjammer Thank you. |

| Luckily, it's available on YouTube for free @Rei366 This was pretty cool. Nice to see Daryl and Lorenz back, seeing a Zeong is cool, Bianca's cute and cool, the action is as kickass as ever, and the Atlas Gundam is one of the sweetest pieces of machinery ever put into badass combat. |

| Thunderbolt is back! S2... we will witness another life slaughtering series. |
 |
| So glad this series is back. The animation and music is as great as ever. Nice to see Daryl and Io back. Bianca is a cool girl. The action is awesome as ever. |
 |
| soo since Im not familiar with the universe - as far as I understand the war is won by the federation and now the "rebels" who cant accept it try to get revenge on them, that is why Zeon forces are on earth? (Why is it called thunderbolt when they arent in the thunderbolt region anymore XD ) |

Comander-07 said: soo since Im not familiar with the universe - as far as I understand the war is won by the federation and now the "rebels" who cant accept it try to get revenge on them, that is why Zeon forces are on earth? Yes, you are correct. However, note that during the war, Zeon forces invaded earth, so some of the Zeon forces on earth are remnants who have been there for some time, while Daryl and his gang just recently came from space. I really enjoyed this episode with its great action and graphics. Glad to see Io back in a kickass Gundam. Was also glad to see Daryl get the respect he deserves for his sacrifice. I am also curious about the bald headed cult chanting, and their weird tattoo. I wonder what conspiracy they are making. The Gundam franchise is still going strong, and unlike other franchises, Gundam is not milking itself and keeps on releasing high quality works. |

| Current favourite: [Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo] |
| SO happy to see this show back I loved the first season. Atlas Gundam seems pretty cool and I'm really liking Bianca so far. |
 |
| Good to see this one back,I hope those Zeon fools get a payback for all the destruction they caused. |
 |
| nice first episode, and gotta say that Bianca is got me interested in her for a feddie. the acguys looked pretty cool as well. kind of wondering what happened to the rest of the living dead division survivors? |
 |
| Off to an explosive start. This is definitely Gundam. This is war. If nothing else, the episode sets the mood for the season. It ought to be rather grim, even more so considering the creepy chanting during the battlefield cleaning operations (and that particular recurring symbol). The furnaces have a profound effect as well... As an introductory episode, it is a fine one. A set of intriguing new characters is introduced with the already familiar fan favourites. Bianca looks particularly captivating, though. She ought to liven up things a bit. The mechanical department doesn't disappoint either. I have been missing the sight of MS-s designed for surface (and underwater) operations, not to mention the scenery of Earth itself. In that respects, those Acguys were a godsend. On a related note, the overall aesthetics of Thunderbolt Mobile Suits are commendable, those Special Service Zaku IIs with gilded ornaments were sublime, not to mention the novelty of the Gundam Head GMs. All in all, it looks promising (and the wait isn't atrociously long). |

| boy the new plastic |
| You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again. With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see. Many, many times.  |
| That funeral? corpse incinerating scene was so eerie I LOVE IT |
| Gundam Atlas, it looks good! I hope the new girl last till the end of this show... |
 |
| I was wondering around with my friends last night, and we saw a gunpla bar, so we decided to go inside since the JoJo themed bar was closed for the night. It was stuffed full of gunpla model kit boxes, and some voice actress I don't know was chatting people up at the bar and signing a picture for a patron. The bartender put on this episode at the bar, so I didn't have to rent it :D Really beautiful episode. Lots of setup. Looking forward to the next one, and I'm glad it's not too far away. |
| Top quality animation once again. I am a little disappointed that Io got rescued so soon. I guess they just wanted to set things up for round 2 a bit faster. What's this? An ace pilot girl? In a gundam series? ... it's about time! Such a rare thing. |
  |
| I only remember the musick from the first season and the guys in the Zeon squadron having numerous missing limbs. I'm glad the musick is back, and I'm excited for this short series! Atlas Gundam is neat but weird. |
