Kihel is posing as Diana and went with Harry to contact the Militia. Dianna is posing as Kihel while captured by the moonrace. The switching isn't so hard to keep track of as it is...honestly getting stupid. I really want to like this show but it just seems so...off and amateurish right now.

This was the only episode that threw me for a loop over who is who.

I don't even get why they switched in the first place. Actually, I don't even get why they resemble each other so well. They can't be twins, right?

Boy, is this switching stupid. Dianna was too naiive to be an effective queen anyways, so capturing/preserving her doesn't make much of a different. The military can kind of run itself, haha. Kihel at least acted with some authority. She was a better Dianna than Dianna was. Queen Dianna's life surely can't be that much more important than common Kihel.

I can't even see the point when I don't look at it semi-sarcastically.

Erm, maybe I misheard, but Poe can't be next-in-line! I hate her! I cry when I see her because I hate her so much. How could the least rational character in the show be picked for such a position? Even SOCHIE would be better, regardless of nationality. Even Corin, lol! Mannn. Why Poe?

I agree, this switching all the time is getting stupid and annoying.

Normally, when I see this level of identity switching, it's in Shakespeare comedies, like A Comedy of Errors, not dramatic mecha series.

Ooh, the switch complains are back!
Since Dianna's skin is still as blemish as before (despite taking sunrays for some time now), they're still quite easy to recognize even when you lost the count. And then you have their eyes.


This episode was fine, the part where Guin is doubting was great to see after he was abused for so long XD
I finally understand the Lady tagging along Guin: she's only after a position (certainly First Lady).


4/5 Good to see that Dianna's counselor has also his own agenda (considering he doesn't care about the potential usurpation)

damn, if they keep this up they will eventually become indistinguishable.

This show is at its most absurd and dramatic right now, especially after a multi-episode anti-nuclear PSA. But it's so tightly put together. A very dense, tense episode.

The song is Gabriela Robin - Moon during the attack scene by that Lt.

Good episode.

Completely random thought: Harry is such a soft and kind name, I'm not surprised he's helping the girls in achieving peace

More Dezaki-esque triple loops

Reinford deciding to loosen the grip after deciding it was Diana makes me think all kind of things about his opinion regarding Kiehl...

Lol'd at Poe - "how dare you touch Queen Diana". Does she even know what people she's working for lmao. For a moment I even thought that Poe could rethink her actions and stop...nope.

Loran's appearance was kinda convenient in its timing but it was cool anyway, and sort of "foreshsdowed" by him actually deciding to return earlier (he didn't appear out of nowhere at least). But now Kiehl can experience Loran's attitude as if she was Diana!

Regarding Fran's meeting with Loran: for a few moments I had the impression she was getting ready to take her clothes off lol. She was holding her shirt as if she was preparing to go swimming.

P.S. Sochie knows that Diana is Kiehl, and she even mentioned the bit about her voice aloud while Joseph was near - so why does it appear that he still thinks its Diana? In any case, I'm interested in Sochie.

P.P.S. I really wanted Diana to call Phil a clown during the interrogation scene to make him even more angry. That'd be funny (though not smart for Diana's safety)

For future reference like I stated before already, Dianna has no iris in her eyes, Kihel does. The series has been consistent in that distinction since the moment both were introduced.


Right now Kihel is with Guin on Willgem, on there way to Manuipich where the space station Zacktraeger is located. Dianna is the one that escaped the Soleil at the end of the episode.

People still complaing about the switch have the attention span of a child, i swear.
That said, things are getting extremely interesting! I wonder what is the fabled Agrippa Maintainer planning... It's also good to know that someone aboard the Soleil is still loyal to Dianna.

This was the only episode in the series that I lost track. Normally it was easy but for some reason this one got me.

I already figured out who is who a long time ago and it's pretty easy to tell once you notice it. Both of them are pretty much the same except for their skin tone color. Dianna has a much paler skin tone compared to Kihel. It means that Kihel is the one that is together with Harry while the actual queen Dianna is being held in the Moonship prison. Even Guin also starts to get confused about who is who, the Doppelganger game that both Diana and Kiel are playing is really fun and it's also one thing that make the show so enjoyable to watch. It's interesting that Phil proposes Poe become the new queen. Poe is never loyal to the queen, she just has this huge ego to be seen as capable while she's actually a fool.

Every episode is more interesting than the previous, i'm loving turn a Gundam.
I'm curious to see where Dianna is going after the end of the episode, i hope this isn't a trap.
Also i miss Loran's interactions with Dianna :(
Guin is one of the characters i mostly dislike and i don't even know why, he seems so fake.
I love the doppleganger thing with Kiehl.

This is the point where I'm finding the plays with the identity switching has gotten interesting

Fran's reaction to leeches should be how everyone reacts
