| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, I was not expecting a new female pilot like this to show up for the episode:  Decent action as well and I liked the space battles that delivered satisfying choreography. The Aina and Atra moment was kinda fun to see during all of this imo. Mika struggled a bit more than I had thought. Quite an explosive episode though, nice. |

| Another great episode.... i was waiting for a Gundam like this since Gundam 00. They almost lose the battle this time, was the right choice to negotiate on enemy ship... |
 |
|
| HOOOLYYY SHIIIIITTTTTT That action scene was pure fucking porn. What a great episode. It's so solid yet again omg. I loved the plot development in this episode too, these new allies they got at the end seem really cool. Probably my favorite episode so far These fan service scenes were so glorious too |

| omfg brilliant fight |
| IT WAS INCREDIBLE. GOD !!! THANK YOU SUNRISE FOR MAKING SUCH AN INCREDIBLE SERIES. If it goes on like this, it will surpass 00 ... And DAMN those chicks were hot, and if I am correct the dark skinned chick was voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki & I LOVE HER. |
| Great episode. That Kudelia fanservice *.* |
| White suit guy is drowning in pussy. |
| The fights in space were so incredible! |
| Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... that is coffee. My anime list My manga list |
| I can feel the intensity of the fight this week. All that fanservices though. I know that Yamagi might just be surprised that he was treated as comrades of some sort or something like that but that was such a fujobait scene lol. So, that Lafter girl is already taken huh? I thought she might be a potential ship for Mika when I first saw her and with that last scene of a fight. |
| A really great episode. Whoo. The operation this time didn't rely on the Gundam that Tekkadan has, but infiltrating the enemies' ship. Really like that their possibly new allies are all women pilots. Barbatos seriously needs some more fine tuning. So glad Sunrise and the staff didn't drag this on, and they won already. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I didn't expect to see such a good fight in this episode. It's not even halfway done yet. I kinda like how they showed Mikazuki is not a perfect pilot too. It's good to see Akihiro didn't kick the bucket yet. I like his character.  More female pilots are always welcomed. Barbatos/5 |
 |
| I can't gush about this series enough. This is EASILY the best anime of the season, and so far it's the best series I've seen with the "Gundam" name on it. And I've seen ALL OF THEM. That episode was just pitch-perfect. 10/5 female pilots |
| Wow did that episode go by fast, fantastic episode. |
KKRais said: and so far it's the best series I've seen with the "Gundam" name on it. And I've seen ALL OF THEM. This is overreacting a lot. It's good, but calm down lol. |
| Lafter Frankland looks a lot like Fumina from Gundam Build Fighters Try. Nazee Turbine looks like Ricardo Fellini from Gundam Build Fighters dressed up in Michael Jackson's clothes from the Smooth Criminal video. The second form on the Barbatos feels reminiscent of the Zeta Gundam. It seems G-Tekketsu was like if AGE (sans the multi-generational story) was done properly; a plot involving Mars with the main mobile suits changing appearance throughout the series.  From the outside, it doesn't look like the Will 'O The Wisp generates gravity centrifugally, and I don't think everyone wears magnetic boots since potatoes are floating. I really hope "gravity panels" are not a thing in that era, as far as I know, every Gundam series to date had gravity on-board by rotating a section of the ship, it would be a real shame if they ruined one of the most realistic aspects of the Gundam franchise. Speaking of potatoes:  |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| OMG that was fucking incredibly. One of the best episodes of anime I have seen all year. I had a huge grin all the way throughout and if this is the kind of stuff we are getting 7 episodes in we are in for something special. The animation was breathtaking, this looked better than a lot of movies! 11/10 |
| THIS EPISODE WAS SO FUCKING HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Man I am LOVING these Turbine guys and holy fuck, the white suit guy is even more of a pimp than I thought....Guy has a ship/team full of bitches lol, and he TOTALLY reminds me of my boy Fellini But damn, it's not even a stretch to say that his group is a female version of Tekkadan because that hot lady was too awesome and then the two girls that I discovered the designs for yesterday also turned out to be great pilots as well And speaking of the girls, that one tjat Mika fought is 1000/10.....Best girl by far so far and holy fuck that fight with Mika, that dialogue, dat chemistry and dat ending of the showdown.....My goodness they're perfect for each other xD (And looking at the PV she's gonna make him take "responsibility" and my body is fucking ready) Glad to see that they're gonna team up next week because I know that Pimp Fellini cannot be a big guy so I'm looking forward to seeing the interactions between both groups as well as those kawaii looking moments :D EPIC episode, great battles, great character driven moments and great tactics all around |

| Hype as fuck fight with great OST, holy shit! The new characters are interesting, too. |
| yup, i really dig this series |
| :3 |
| I love this episode! The MS battle was incredible. Congratulations Bandai, you made me want the Hyakuri. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| i thought akihiro will die... so glad they stop the battle. |
| those females are ace pilots lol they almost killed Mikazuki and the gang, they got only save by plot armor lol and damn hot tanned/morena girl that was |
| Intense, so damn intense. Seriously though, Akihiro had me worried there for a second, glad they came to an negotiation. |
 |
| Holy shit this was one of the best episode this season. All that buildup finally paid off. bastek66 said:  |
| So many goodness in an episode and then topped it all of with the introduction of Lafter. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| So who else thinks this has strong potential to be the best Gundam because so far its been pretty dope. |
| Freaking best episode. The action scene is so damn good. Excluding sequel, OPM is the only good new anime this fall 2015 but now, Gundam: Iron-Blood Orphan has attract my attention. bastek66 said: Also, interesting new female character. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Very good episode indeed, but not as great as some people make it out to be. The dialogues were 2confusing4me/10 again. |

| Epic space fight and those ladies are awesome as pilots and hot, my god Teiwaz, starting negotiations only at the last second before both sides had casualties, wtf. Mika did pretty well despite Barbatos having motor trouble and poorly tuned reactors. |

Xenocrisi said: EasyGo-er said: Like what? What? Can't I express what I think? I'm just asking about what you think is confusing in this episode, that's all. No need to get worked up over that. |
| Friggin awesome!! 2 new hot girls and lots of epic well animated mech fights :D Perfect! Lafter's scene at the start was pretty damn hot. Dem Thighs :L And Amida's got Dat sexy navel <3 Dat Kudelia ass too...and hair lol XD Diamonds!! Orga and Biscuit's plan was amazing. Using the smoke screen to close in and have an infiltration squad like that. BEAST!! Hope Turbine can be permanent allies for Tekkadan. Loving them so far. He didn't seem like how they were forced to have the Allaya system implanted so hopefully he'll take a liking to them. Akihiro was beast too. Mika while he didn't have a reactor still met his match. Lafter is pretty damn good. DAMN! I'm gonna love seeing more of her <3 |
 |
| Female pilots, finally! And good ones to boot. Although I'm not so sure about Lafter, she's a bit annoying and I don't like her character archetype... Oh well, we'll see. Good to see some disagreements in Tekkadan. Biscuit is shaping up to be the Reason of the group. Eugene shines as a Person Who Yells At People From A High Chair. I'm liking the Tekkadan crew more and more. I was afraid for a moment that Akihiro (or Orga, as per every week) would die, but fortunately it's not this day yet. Takaki's already reading pretty well. Seems that Kudelia's lessons are paying off... Speaking of Kudelia, her scene with Atra was a bit weird. I'm glad to see the girls are friends and not letting pesky things like shared attraction interest ruin it. Good job with avoiding the love triangle so far. The absence of beam weaponry necessitates some interesting tactics, which is very refreshing. |

The names confuse me a lot, I never know what they talk about. I find the whole storyline confusing. This is almost always the case with Gundam due to its large casts and numerous political factions. I watched the first episode twice to make sure I had all the factions down pact. I am having no trouble following this one but I do have to focus at times, definitely cant turn your brain off for this one if you want to understand everything. |

| So the story so far: a group of mercenary trying to earn a living. That's the gist of it right?? |
cupc said: Some more nice gifs Post moar gifs. Like the scenes where Guts was taking those two mobile suits on his own and that Barbatos launch sequence. |
TokonatsuYuu said: So the story so far: a group of mercenary trying to earn a living. That's the gist of it right?? Yep. And while they are at it, they are currently working for a pacifist which may lead to change the course of human history because what they have in possession is a machine called Gundam. Ref.
