Good episode, the first part was hilarious but the second with the fights and Judau trying to save Leina was much more serious.
It seems like Bright decided just to damage the Axis and not to destroy and kill innocent people. Everybody is going soft on each other,~

Pretty brutal stuff. It looks as if Puru killed a lot of people on her tantrum, and Bright launched another death ray.

I've never thought Gundam protagonists or their factions were noble, but AEUG is starting to push it. Their motivations for fighting are getting more radical and vaguely defined, while their methods of both conscription and fighting get more reprehensible. It's like Bright is the primary villain

When are they going to get Leina back!? Anyway, I find it incredibly hard to believe that they were able to waltz into and escape from Axis, which is supposed to be a stronghold with just the Argama.

Indeed. It almost seemed to me like Argama could've destroyed Axis on it's own.

I thought that Bright would not fire the cannon, as happens in most of the animes when the main character says "It's going to cost innocent lifes" or something like that.

The next episode seems to be very nice. I hope the series gets more serious from now on.

Well Puru just killed her own people in a fit of jealous rage. Actually a lot of jealousy in this episode Glemy over Judau and Puru over Leina. xD

Well it looks like Judau finally got a taste of how cruel war can be.

Judau wanted to do a heroic speech about how people die when they are killed, but he was interrupted, for the sake of audience.

At this point I just laugh it off and think;

The series is slowly starting to get better and feel more like how the series should. Which it needs to do fast because its portrayal of war as a goofy slapstick is fucking insulting

I wonder if Chara is going to escape and reclaim the spotlight. At this rate, we'll run out of villainous comedy relief.

Knowing this show that won't happen soon enough (that and I highly doubt the Annoying Duo will learn anything with their attitude).

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET LEINA BACK.

Getting tired of this kidnapping storyline and they stretch it out for several episodes, I don't know how many times I've heard Judau yelling "Leina!" but I'm getting sick of it.
But atleast the end with Bright using brutal tactics made up for it.

Amazing episode!

I'm glad Gundam ZZ is slowly turning into Zeta in terms of seriousness and cruelty of the war.

Lol Judau is also becoming like Kamille and how he attracts girls around him. Difference is Judau seems to attract little and young girls XD

Wow Roux is getting good with Zeta!! Even better than what Elle and Judau or even Fa did!!

I hope she continues piloting like this!

Wow Puru went berserk! She's like Rosamia and how she's attracted to her "brother"

I'm freaking glad Bright finally put Judau and others on the bridge. He should have given him a daily dose of Brigh slap and a wake up reality of how cruel this war is.

Great stuff!! Glad i kept watching Gundam ZZ!! Judau and others are improving and battles are getting more intense.

As long as we get more death toll count, then Gundam ZZ is one step closer to proving to be a worthy successor of Zeta.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Oh wow, Bright decided to grow some balls and not listen about some kids whining.

Do they only have one cell in the Argama? Since putting Judau and idiot duo to same cell as Chara is not the greatest idea. Well, I would guess idiot duo could be thought as enemy combatants by now, so I guess putting them with Chara might not be a problem. But Judau?

At least we are getting somewhere with the plot.

Puru sucks, man. She sucks major ass. Can't believe she's so self-centered as to cry about Judau not playing with her while she's holding his little sister hostage and putting the life of other children at risk with her retardedness. Literally worse than Rosamia.

Welp, at least Bright managed to find his testicles back. Most situations are still too goofy and silly for me to take anything seriously and I highly doubt this episode will teach these kids the lesson they deserve, but the last scenes are still a step in the right direction I believe.

I was wrong, Ple is as much disturbed as all previous cyber Newtypes
Give a big cannon to Bright and he will be willing to kill civilians ...
As soon as the story starts to slightly move, kid pilots get better: look at Roux.

Agree with pretty much everybody here: really solid episode. So is that annoying brat going to get punished for being a self-centered twit and killing innocent people just so she can play?

Judau really has been awesome on this show overall. A care-free, likable dude who you want to see get his sister back.

I think Bright knew that the cannon shot wouldn't damage the residential block, but anything was possible. He's lucky everything worked out.

Leina is still captured though.

Cyber-newtypes are always crazy as shit. That’s also probably why I find them interesting..

I like how the animation is getting better the past few episodes, even though it’s still not at Zeta-quality. Judau is now realizing the harshness of war... Bright definitely wanted to give him a proper “correction” at the end lol

Looks like the next episode is a slow one.

Yep, Puru's personality spelled trouble and this episode confirmed it.

Good episode, Puru is selfish and didn't care about injuring or killing civilians of axis all because of Judau not playing with her. I do hope this, "Save Leina" storyline ends soon. It's like a goose chase to get her back.

Nice episode, but I was shocked at Bright's decision to fire such a scary weapon given the risk of harming civilians.
Did Haman set sail for Earth? Seemed so.

Ple's reasons to fight are pretty childish, though when a child lays hands on a destructive weapon, bad things happen, as we see here. I can understand her disappointment with Judau, though (not her destructive actions in the city) - how would you react if the guy you liked and helped escape just handcuffed you and left in prison instead of him? 0_0
Elle and Roux continue to be nice pilots, I was right at predicting them to be the more decent part of the cast as compared to Mondo and Beecha, who also serve a role, but badly executed - it's not like I'm inherently against depicting homeless kids who don't want to participate in space wars and try to escape by any means, however dirty. The fact that everyone on Argama knows that and does nothing is what making this whole affair worse. Add to that the fact that this duo is almost incapable of learning and evaluating the environment - e.g. that Axis is a lot worse than Argama, that they don't have any technical ability to return home, etc.

By the way, Elle seems pretty fixated on making jokes about someone's age.

so im guessing this is about to be the main thing going on for the whole series? him trying to get back his sister and keeps messing it up in the dumbest of ways...

and also the blonde guy just like all other gundam series the most annoying person seems he's gonna be around for the whole series now weather he lives or dies is the real issue cause like most gundam series the super annoying person lives thorughout pretty much the whole series and then towards the end ends up finally dying or living so guess will have to find out with this one

Episode 19. Wow. First act of evil committed by the heroes. I find it hard to believe that Bright - a man with children of his own - would just jump into this just like that. Didn't he just spend the last two shows fighting against people who indiscriminately bombed/colony dropped/gas cities? What Bright said in the pic is literally what Bask said to justify gassing colonies and nuking Jaburo.

Bright was not completely sure to fire so I like it if something of the sort happens again.

Puru don't care to kill people just because she is pissed on the other hand. Annoying character

So now Beecha and Mondo are back? In the same cell of Judau and even Chara? lol

Ple, a girl Judou only met 2 seconds ago, who acts clingy out of nowhere: You don't care about me!!! You only care about your sister!!!

No shit, Sherlock.

The comedy in this show is so bad!
