| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Shinigami, huh? Quite a coincidence though: all platoons wiped out on their third mission o.o Now that the third mission is over, he should FINALLY get over it... hopefully. |
| i just finished 4 episodes umm just was ok i missed the mains heroes of MSG amuro and char about shinigami i ganna hit his balls as karen did xD all other was usual gundam fight |
 |
| This episode was awesome. Sanders kicked ass when he charged the Apsalus with a beam saber. That mobile armor seems very powerful and endurable, it basically blew everything away with whatever it was doing. I wonder what else it can do. Sanders and the others will probably be able to put the Grim Reaper stuff behind them now, which should make them more capable in battles. |
 |
| That new Zeon machine so far has been nothing, but a big bullet sink. I want to see what the thing does on the offensive. |
| Row Row Fight The Power! |
| People say this series is amazing and things like that, but until that point I didn't see anything special. Well, let's wait for this series to become better :D Nice Mobile Armor, btw. And with a Zaku head. Everyone loves Zakus! |
vitor_5656 said: The reason they say it's amazing(myself included) is because it breaks away from the standard/traditional Gundam franchise. Just look for some reviews so you can kind of get an idea...People say this series is amazing and things like that, but until that point I didn't see anything special. Well, let's wait for this series to become better :D Nice Mobile Armor, btw. And with a Zaku head. Everyone loves Zakus! |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Sanders just went full badass on that Mobile armor xD |
 |
| Oh no! Get out of that mobile armor Aina! Cool semi-evil girls who piloting mobile armors, it never ends well for them. |
| Sanders vs the mobile armor was awesome! :D |
| So the real plot finally gets into gear, Sanders was pretty awesome here just tearing that thing apart. That obnoxious Admiral was interesting wonder if he was just a one off, just there to show not all high ranking Zeons are so prim and proper or there's something deeper to his role. |
| Sanders was really cool when fighting the Mobile Armor. I wonder what it does on the offensive though as all it did in the episode was flying and getting shot at by the Gundams. Sanders' curse was a little silly, hope he gets over it by the next episode. |
| Looks like this new mobile suit is still in a testing phase or something...? Can't wait to see it in full action :) |
 |
| Great episode! At least we know what Aina does and how important she is. Even though she look gorgeous in her dress, what's up with her neck line :O Sanders pissed me off in this episode. i don't know why he's letting those douchebags getting to his head. Even pissed me off when he fired for no reason. If this happened in 079, Zeta or ZZ, he would have been dead by now. Apsalus looks strong, but i doubt it can do anything new a mobile armor can't. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Really good episode,Sanders was BA. |

| Everything has been written above: - it looks like Aina's brother is a mix of a lot of things (an intellectual elite from the aristocratie), probably the final boss piloting his "ultimate weapon" when he'll be about to die from his health problem whatever it is, - the Apsalus is... a bigger mobile armor with a Zaku head. XD Quite impressive on the battlefield (with this big shockwave), but certainly not a game breaker in the 1YW, even if it was mass-produced. (I mean... what exactly is this blond engineer thinking it would achieve even in the ground war?) - wondering if the old acquaintance from Aini and his brother is a minor reference to the future european war front or a new character, - the death plague rumour is something I saw a lot in other war stories and never enjoyed, it didn't change in Gundam. At least, it was a 1episode thing, and offered a light explanation to the (lack of) rank of the character. I hope he won't tend to act brainlessly again, his superior is enough. This show being a 12 OAVs series, they will probably deliver such an episode for each character (facing a problem/part of them they will have to overcome, like the sergeant and the leader), the next ones might have better ideas. It offered also an occasion for the hero to share his way of thinking again (trust for himself, someone, in the events). But everything seems too lighthearted until now (it remembers me Patlabor a lot because of that and the Gundam themselves) 4/5 Angry again because I saw two GM in the background at the MS teams camp. (are'nt we in october 79??) |

| Great episode as usual :) |
Continuity problems aside and a third of the way into it, I'm liking this OVA a good bit. This was the best episode so far I think. Good setup and payoff. Also...  Best character :) |
| Another great episode, I really like where this is going. The atmosphere is just right! |
 |
| What an episode! I could taste the tension! And man, that mecha was freaking huge! What is that, nuclear power?? |
 |
| I'll say this, the little bookworm deserves to be punched for that display of stupidity. |
 |
| Karen should really be in charge of this unit. |
| I wonder if I'm the only one to think that this whole secret Zaku affair is an allusion to Nazi Germany and Wunderwaffe, it's almost explicit. Though I'm curious what this metal ball can do besides shockwaves. Karen confirmed best girl again, the greatest parts of the episode had people getting a punch in their face or some other places |
| yoshi......another great episode after another Go 08 MS team |
 |
| The curse is broken! But, if Shiro were to learn that Aina was the one piloting that giant thing, what would he think of her? |
 |
| Pretty good episode especially since Aina is back but are they not going to say anything to the one who disobeyed the order? |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Zaku action yeahhh more Zaku action!!!! First third of the series and it's quite good. I still don't get why this is considered a hyper masterpiece but we'll see. The fights are never boring, and this satisfies me a lot. |
| Nice episode, like how upbeat this Gundam is and yet there's tension. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Currently available legally on GundamInfo |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| This is a chill Gundam show because it's more focused on the team and characters than the huge political scope of things. Wonder what else that huge weapon does. |
