----------------------------------------
It was an okay episode - good focus on Mask in space. He's actually becoming one of my favorite characters in the show.

A good amount of focus in general with the war actually.. Kinda liked how everyone is working in union alongside Bell as a team too. I'm hoping the remaining two episodes can keep up with this momentum because the last few episodes have been quite intense.

The best thing for me on this episode update was figuring out that it ends with episode 26.

The episode was really ok and yes, Mask is an interesting character but meh, I just want to finish this series, sorry xD

The show has been absolutely fantastic to me since about episode 6 but I seem to be one of the few that is really into it and just has no trouble following any of what's going on. I mean good grief I have a harder time following stuff like Fate UBW which everyone seems to be 100% perfectly in tune with so I think again it just comes down to me wildly different tastes and interests compared to most.

Wow, two deaths a new pack, a new mech, and some serious laser spams. You know we're reaching the end of a Gundam show.

It's taken 24 episodes but Aida has finally done something useful with the G-Arcane. The last few episodes have been quite good, I hope it can keep it up.

Pretty awesome episode!

Seems it's getting darker as we move to the end.

I'm glad Klim and Mick Jack are getting some new mobile suits.

I'm still surprise Aida was still holding some resent to Bellri about Cahill. She seems to have an on and off attitude, but she seems has forgiven Bellri this time around.

Damn Barara went berserk here!!! Unfortunately Mask predicted her jealousy and arrogance got her killed.

Anyone notice how the scene where she died reminded me of Lalah and Amuro last battle! Even had the same reaction "Bellri? Barara?"

I'm surprised she didn't scream Mask when she died. Wonder what Mask thinks of her death?

Damn Aida's father dying like that, don't know why he didn't wear any suits when he was in the middle of battle.

Lots of deaths! I do feel like they really they have nothing to expand other than the last battle with Mask which is a shame since we're still missing a lot of details etc.

I hope for S2, but i have feeling this will be the end for Reconguista(hope i'm wroing)

Last 2 episodes T__T

I surely hope for seasons two.

So far,the best Gundam series that I have watched.

Not that it means much,since I watched only Unicorn and 00.

So, Mask and the G-IT corps are now allies.

Meanwhile apparently everyone has gotten their hands on the G-IT corps units.

Okay ep.
Reconguista combines crazy MA girl pilot AND giant space laser into one. Neat.

ALso RIP Aida's father, poor Aida.

TOMINO's infamous fangs are finally out.

This is so crazy...Mask and Klim are indiscriminate backstabbers. Weren't they working with the Towasanga guys before Venus Globe?! If Army didn't attack, Ameria would've.

Despite the confusion, beautiful effects and the Yggdrasil is amazing despite its many flaws. Balala got the spoiler-flag treatment since last ep.

you messed up for sure Mask. Ready your ass. ~_~ Seriously...don't kill Manny or Bellri mama. I'm begging.

again, more new machines introduced in a flash, no prior setup, pop up out of no where and gets destroyed.
This show at this stage feels like Zeta gundam with multiple sides and chaotic reading of battlefield events.
Therefore, not a show younger black and white audience would understood.
It also doesnt feel like it is going to end in 2 episodes either

IN terms of mech design, this show has the biggest variety of form factors of MS since Z/ZZ era because there was no need for confinement of Gundam vs Gundam. I really enjoy those mechanical designs but I am pretty sure many audience would be scratching their head on what is what

I fucking love this show. And I somewhat agree with the comparison to Zeta (Which is my fav gundam ever) but its also very different and has its own vibe ... and not AS dark altho it has hit that darkness at times and is def starting to get there towards the end.

I LOVED that new mech design barara piloted. Like WTF Tomino?? Laser Beams that branch off like a tree that even has leaves? So trippy...

I was a bit surprised that Bellri just killed her like that but I guess he didnt know it was her and she was killing thousands of people so he just did what he had to do. His sis told him not to worry about killing her boyfriend anymore and he seems to have realized what the G-Self's duty is so he will do what has to be done now. pretty sweet.

only thing I wish was that the newtype stuff was just a bit more prevalent but other people might disagree with that.. Like you can tell Bellri is a newtype but I want some hardcore psychadelic scenes like the one in MSG between amuro and lalah with the waves/ocean in space..

anyway I can't wait to see Bellri vs Mask final battle.

I hope the end of this show leads into more shows set in Regild Century.

I think its about time for Gundam to have one long storyline like in UC era and Regild Century would definitely make for a very different and original experience.

For me, it's been since they started the trip to the moon. I'm wondering if by the end of this, Mask will find some equivalent of a world-ending bomb and just kill everyone...

All this haywire attitude of finding strikingly interesting weapons and then going on joyrides with them until Bellri comes in to remind everyone that this is fucking war and people are actually dying left and right.

I'm really not sure how this is going to end, but mass genocide certainly sounds like it's imminent.

Me either. Tomino doesn't seem like under 40 ep type, and I sense a Season 2 because I feel that there must be more. They should just drop Towasanga on the Capital Tower and Earth.

I LOVED that new mech design barara piloted. Like WTF Tomino?? Laser Beams that branch off like a tree that even has leaves? So trippy...


Not called Yggdrasil for nothing.

Still, such a mythical tree, it's almost always portrayed as something bad/scary in fiction.

Seems on course to finish in 2 episodes to me. Final battle: Bellri and friends + Amerians vs. Capital Army + GIT? More or less how the show started. Dorette is gone, and Mashner is too preoccupied with mourning Rockpie. Perhaps the fleet will still try to invade the tower, but I don't expect it to be effective. One reconguista down, most likely. Gusion is gone, but Klim-Jack can hold their own. Mini-Haman probably survived. Another blanket shutdown via Newtype pewpew would be in line with Bellri's character, and Tomino's commentary.
Sieg Zeon!

Start the massacre? At first sight it seems to you, given the swirl of dead only seen today.
I'm sorry that one of these is Barara, could still give as much character.
Narration always messy, but a small logical thread in the battle has seen, are not satisfied to the fullest, but compared to the past is much more usable.
Plot that still does not show well the true end of all this show.
Drawings with ups and downs, pretty wacky novelties shown today, beautiful new mecha shown in this episode.

It wasn't due to all the deaths this particular episode had that I foresaw massacre.

It was due to the power-hungry children throwing out all this advanced technology like they're toys for often-personal reasons. Bellri is clearly against this trying his best with the G-Self to reteach the horrible consequences of war, but there's too many people for him to counteract. I think eventually someone will discover Venus Globe technology with massacre-potential and stopping that will be the aim of the final episode.

alright fuck it, this is ZZ all over again, bad start, gets better and more interesting midway through, then goes full retard in the finale.

I'm just gonna do what i should of done from the start, im just turning my brain off and enjoying the mecha porn, and as spotty as the writing and character motivation may be compared to the above mentioned ZZ its somehow less nonsensical than that show's finale.

How in the world did Lorucca end up on G-IT's Full Moon with his collaborator, only to then appear on the Crescent Ship? They're different sides...

Yggdrasil was crazy (how do those branches even work?) but cool. Didn't expect Tomino to bring things from Norse cosmology to Gundam (even though it's probably just for the looks). The way Yggdrasil took roots in Barara's brain was a nice metaphor for her mental state. Even though we won't be seeing Barara again, I guess, there's the possibility of her surviving...I mean, there's an escape pod seen after the explosion, though it's engulfed in its flames later.

P.S. This show's main problem is the bad quality of zippers on space suits.
