| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, so we get a meeting on that planet. Is it just me or does Bell and Aida look very casual in those normal clothes? They didn't waste time with the action in space either so the pacing was decent. Some other awkward moments were like that very brief kiss out of nowhere. I feel like Aida and Bell are getting a bit closer though. |
 |
 Is Bell actually even her brother ? I have a feeling that he won't be, he seems to have no memories of the room. They are about the same age so should have been together in the image and share memories So for now I don't believe he is her brother And in the subs I read did she really say "lover" about that captain that died. And yea dude, that kiss was random. |
| Yep Bellri is getting crazy. Bellri is Aida's brother? but where are the pictures of him being in that same room, they only identified him with that Gundam :O |

| Didn't like Bellri's dialogue in this episode, came across more as aimless rambling than actually trying to say something. Was kind of right abou the G-Self having a DNA scanner, it's just much more specific than scanning for Newtypes and aiming for a sepcific family. |
Samhiuy said: Yes, she said "koibi" in Japanese which is translated as "lover". Also, I'm quite suspicious of Bellri's status as well as I share the same concerns as you. Interesting. Wonder why they waited this long to bring up that information. I had always thought he was just some much older man who she respected at a mentor or as a father figure. It was completely random information. Bell obviously is not happy that the person he "loves" is being called his sister. Nor that he had is life flipped upside down once again by the news of being from the moon. |
| I'm not surprised at all that they're brother and sister. I figured it out by episode 1. Bellri is younger than Aida, that's why there were no pictures of him. He was probably not born yet at the time of the pictures, and the evil userpers basically deleted all their past information. Bellri obviously takes after the father, who has the same shade of hair and eye color. And most of all G-self was programmed to respond to people who matched the Rayhunton genetic code, They pretty much used every genetic test there could be to identify identiy: retinal scan, blood test, sweat test, hair samples... the machine checks all of that. It's pretty hard to fool all those markers. Plus, the people of the castle knew before Bellri even got there that there WAS a prince named Bellri and that they did send him to Earth. How much more proof do you need? Also, Bellri DID say there was something familiar about the room and even pointed to the carriage about remembering having used it. Also, this isn't the first time that Gundam has had a pair of hidden siblings in a story. And if I remember right, I think Tomino was taking about wanting to have this theme of "older sisters" in this series, so this make perfect sense. |
| Each episode is just barely interesting. |
| The political intrigue reached another level of hilarity - as always, with Klim in the middle. Venus mentioned for first time, Gundam mentioned as well. These towasangian guys don't know what they had in storage ^^ Bellri with a tantrum backpack :D |
Momohime said: After 15 Episodes they finally said Gundam. I've been waiting eagerly for someone to finally say it as well! |

| Anyone know how many episodes this is supposed to be? These days it's quite rare for a 50 episode series to pop up so I'm assuming it's 24-25 episodes. But if so, this series is 2/3 of the way through and it still feels like they're setting the stage. Not that this can't be wrapped up in 8 episodes, but either the ending is going to feel at least somewhat rushed or a second season is already in the planning. |
| And I'm here thinking, "What kiss? Somebody kissed in ep16?" I clearly missed that coz I don't remember seeing it. |
| Mod Edit: Your signature is too big and thus has been removed. Thank you. |
| I really hope they aren't siblings that will just ruin this show for me Hopefully there will be some plot twist. That kiss with the green haired lady was pretty random and wierd and they finally said gundam. |

| I'm starting to belive that Belry is more autistic than Raraya when she landed on Earth. Just look at the guy, all laughing and stuff , accepting for a moment that aida is his sister and that he "kinda" remembers that he was there as a little kid, but then he goes outside the colony, for no apparent fucking reason just to get attacked and then he is still pissed and calls himself a pro, what a smuig bastard. All that sudden crying from the other characters feels so forced, like how raraya is smiling and 1 sec later she is crying. Is this real directing? Also 16 episodes in and we finally hear the name Gundam. |

| Wait...so the captain that was killed by Bellri, was Aida's lover? WTF? This is the first time I've heard of this shit. He seemed way too old for her. I thought it was a admiration of a superior officer sort of relationship. So now I guess they're chalking up Bellri and Aida to have a relationship parallel that of Kira and Kagalli from Gundam Seed, as siblings. Sure to piss off the shippers. Awkward kisses are awkward.

Also 16 episodes in and we finally hear the name Gundam. I was wondering why I always felt something was just off, but it seems the actions don't match the words, and vice versa. This seemed to happen multiple times for every character. Is everyone bipolar in their universe? This show was interesting at first with the hand-drawn art style, which I loved for that nostalgic feel, since the Gundam franchise (any mech series really) has been over-saturated with too much 3D animation as of late.... but the storytelling is all over the place. For that, I'm going to have to rate this show down a couple of notches. |

| Great episode, but lots of conflicting parts. It's kinda hard to believe that both Aida and Bellri are both related to each other. Out of a sudden they just accept it as is? wtf. Also they haven't shown any proof that Bellri is indeed her brother. No pictures or anything. And why does he accept it as is? Even though Bellri's mother knew that he was adopted in the first place, Bellri should have ask for more details. And yes some of the actions doesn't make any sense. Raraiya laughs then in 1 second she gets teary for some reason. It just doesn't make any sense. And why the hell is Bellri mad about his birthplace being a colony? He enjoyed the scenery there, but for some reason he asks why he lives in such a place? He also can't accept Aida's as his sister, yet he seem to be going well to her in the early scenes. The kiss isn't weird since they have been doing it since the last episode. I guess it was just random, but it's a way to calm that guy down. And why is it that Klim and his crew was captured in the first scene in the last episode, then out of sudden their inside the enemy's ship being all friendly now? They really need to explain these in detail instead of throwing things around like that. The world is interesting, but it's a shame they couldn't develop a coherent story. Oh well can't wait for the next episode. |
| This has that Star Wars siblings thing.... That kinda threw me for a loop. Siblings?? I dunno about you all, but that literally came out of no where for me. |
| Also, if someone could explain what's happening in the past few episodes it'd be pretty awesome. This series really doesn't care to explain, which is fine, but still makes for confusion. |
| Finally some other mystery is revealed, but the narrative remains indecipherable to the lack of basic information that leave the dark about certain dynamics. It does not help even the behavior of the protagonists rather bizarre. Beautiful scenery, sin instead for drawings that do not take a stable level of quality. I love the color design of this TV series! |
 |
| Haha Bell's frustration at the end of the episode. He really wanted to band Aida, now he's going to go through his typical gundam teen pilot angst faze. |
 |
| Now Bellri is nuts. Why is he on Earth? And Aida ended up in Ameria. Really strange that Bellri won't kill and he has such an aggressive fighting style. That's why Dellesen and Cahill ended up the way they did. (sigh) little stuff makes sense, and yet everyone is antagonistic. Tomino's way of direction makes way for hasty exposition. We don't know what is where and why. As a viewer, I feel that the characters are inconsistent in the way they move and speak and there's no consequence. I can't even sense Aida's lost longing of family. Other than this flaw, it's a pretty show to look at, especially during battle scenes. All we know is that Towasanga and Earth have a deep connection, especially when it comes to the engineering of their machines (at this time, what is the darn point of bringing up the stupid taboo? They're breaking it left and right). if this Rayhunton thing is true, what about Raraiya? Did I miss something? Rockpie x Commander Masher has been hinted for some time. Not that random. |
 |
| So Aida and Bellri are supposedly brother and sister... Yeah I won't buy that just yet, although I have nothing against it either. It just seems like an obvious plot twist to reveal otherwise later - not to mention that Bellri was in none of the photos with Aida's mommy and papa. The direction stays at a frustratingly messy level typical to Tomino, but Tomino is always fun, and GReco is no exception. |
 |
| Wow they started calling each other brother and sister without proof or even raising an eyebrow. Don't really like the development, like the execution even less |
| pacing is alot better now that were in space but writing is still all over the place, sometimes its fine others it what the fuck worthy like raraiya breaking into tears out of no where. Also bell has got to be the most spoiled and obnoxious gundam protagonists ive seen yet, hes such a self centered little brat who lacks any proper motivations to his actions nor sudden angst, hes just detestable, Hes essentially amuro without the character development or rationality amuro had. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| The writing feels so random. Its like jumping away to the next and then skipping another. And seems like Bell doesn't accept Aida as his sister. |

| GAH! Waited so long for #Anime-Gundam to complete the sub, oh well HS it is.. I like how Bellri and Aida just accepts that they are siblings without doubt. And then at the end Bellri loses he's shit and not accepting it??! Man Bellri's thought process is so random XD Also doubtful that Bellri is her real sibling, since he doesn't recall anything. Nor are there any pictures of him. |
| Bell and Aida are brothers and ....Princeps!!! kekkeke |
| Was Cyrano-5 built using the remnants of A Baoa Qu? Gundam finally namedropped! Everybody: Gundam is anti-war Gundam protagonist: "Your anti-war movement is never going to work" Huh. "New eras are not created by old people" - please Tomino don't be so harsh on yourself. You *did* create a new era with Gundam. Raraiya thinks G-Self's firepower shouldn't be shown to Towasanga. Why? I like how Annette the seamstress is always there to silently listen to our protagonists' secrets and plans xD In fact Bellri just got angry that his romantic feelings for Aida would never lead to anything. At least Noredo can feel relieved now, haha. even pointed to the carriage about remembering having used it. It was more of a "did I really spend time in this thing?" type of comment. His servant (is that the man's status?) confirmed Bellri being there though. The singer of the new opening doesn't have any other anime roles on her ANN page. Again. There was an extraordinary amount of new terms dropped in the last minute of the episode. Crescent Ship, Venus Globe, Chip Box, XPP Box, and some new irrelevant background names. Rei_III said: @St0rmblade She was more active on TV. I know her as the co-host for J-Melo with another rather good singer (Shanti Snyder) . Basically, NHK hired one of its workers to sing the song for one of its shows. (I think she's still releasing a song from time to time, plus some coverage discs.) "new terms dropped": you know who's telling you the story when this happens. PS: have a good time with those last few episodes (from what I remember, they were incredibly "fast" thanks to Tomino never accepting the fact he was directing a full length show instead of the double length he dreamed of). Curious. I was suspecting Tomino's involvement to a degree due to his comments about how seiyuus in anime sound unnatural and all, that being the reason for hiring people outside of the industry - TV, theater (thanks to his daughter, apparently, at least for Turn A) and all that. So it's my default suspicion when I see a singer or a voice actor without many roles (or any at all). I've seen many people referring to this, but I've never witnessed Tomino say he was still *expecting* to direct 50 episodes before getting cut by producers to 26. Was G-Reco really supposed to have 50 episodes at some planning stage? Still, I'm fine with a "fast" show (after the very "slow" Turn A). I wonder what's gonna be changed in the films. Just some rearranged scenes? New animations? Would be funny if they had the same effect on G-Reco's popularity as the original trilogy did on its respective show. |

St0rmblade said: Curious. I was suspecting Tomino's involvement to a degree Mmh.. I don't remember the time she made the announcement (or was it done through the animation/manga TV show of NHK World?) well but I don't think she talked about that. You might be right, after all Tomino may have met her over the course of the series production since he was making it for the NHK (or met her during the pre-promotion tour). But self-promotion for the channel seemed logical to me, especially when she never seemed to be a hit in Japan (even though they sent her to sing in Paris and some other locations). This all sounds like I'm putting "May-J" down, my bad. XD About the ep count, I thought I had read this in some article, sorry if it is wrong. (And it sounded more like Tomino not getting what he was hoping and being the stubborn creator he is rather than having his show cut down by surprise. About the films, at least the first one: some short new animations (maybe frames redone too) and scenes with more dialogues (informations, maybe an effort to make the whole situation clearer since this was highly criticized? Although I don't see Tomino chew things for the audience). I can't say more because I don't speak japanese and watched a direct copy at the bluray release. ^^" |

| Bellri is all over the place. Can't get a read on the guy. |
| I wouldn't say this reveal is a twist or anything surprising. If anything it has been so obviously and blatantly foreshadowed from the beginning that the real twist would be if it's actually not the case. |
 |
| So Aida and bellri are siblings, i didn't expect that. It's sad because bellri clearly is in love with her, so this will be a difficult pill to swallow. I hope that they aren't really blood related, they were cute together. |
