Poor Matilda-san :(

Whats really annoying is just how much they give away in the episode previews, like the first line of the one before was "matilda-san dies", need to be quicker on the pause button

Haha, yeah, I never watch previews for any anime anyway. With this show, what I dont look at are the episode titles!

Matilda was pretty cool, but her death wasn't really that surprising.

Indeed. I've decided to stop watching them because they spoiled her death... New anime is a lot better at not giving too much away in the previews compared to the old ones I've seen. LoGH has the same problem.

Don't know about that. I'm watching dubbed version and this episode was titled 'Black Tri-Star', (and same in preview) so no spoiler here.

Am I the only one who didn't cry or feel anything? The deaths in this series lack emotion and therefore I can not feel anything especially since I can't get attached to anyone cause of their short screentime

Well continuing on

3/5 for this episode.

It's gotta be something about the way the medium was in 1979. I agree that everything seems a bit off to me, but I've grown into it a bit. I'm nowhere near as immersed as during a lot of modern stuff, though. I re-watched the last bit of the episode after the Medea went down, and it was somewhat powerful. They did a great job with the music.

That sucks. Matilda was cool, so yeah it sucked to see her die. They totally over blew the drama again at the end there. It was going fine until Amuro kept going "Matilda-san".

Amuro was so funny in this episode from his pose in the photo to the ending where he kept screaming out her name in his head.

The action in this was spectacular with Amuro taking on the three tristar guys.

Awww, Matilda died. I liked her. Her hair however looked horrible. Some details would have been great but now it was only red blob. Ah well older's anime problem.

Matilda's out... Too bad, she was such a boss.
Unlike Ryu, I felt genuinely sad when she died. But I couldn't help myself laughing at Amuro's "MATIRUDA-SAAAAAAN"s; so freaking out of place and funny.
And yeah, those damn previews...

At least Char will be back soon ! :D

Wow what a episode!!

So Kycilia is working with Char and they probably want Zeon for themselves.

I wonder if the leaders of Zeon has notice of their actions?

Hope to see Char soon!!

That Tri Blackstar team!! I knew Gundam Seed once again took another design from 079.

Love how Amuro springs to one of the enemies as he evade one of the attacks.

Man just as when Amuro was able to spend some time and even got her attention she suddenly dies :

Though Amuro wouldn't be able to survive that triple attack if she didn't interfered.

I'm seeing some spark in Amuro's head. I guess we're getting closer on what this is?? :D

Though it's pretty gutsy of her to live the ship without any help in the middle of battle.

Sayla was inexperience in this, but i don't blame her since this is a new type of weapon never before used in battle.

Seems Bright is now okay!

The way they say Matilda in Japanese is "Machiruda" so Amuro saying Maaachiruuudaaaaa-san! kinda sounds funny, but you still see the same hearing.

Though why did Mirai gasp when she remembered something? I wonder what that is?

I definitely won't be watching any previews anymore. They're spoiling it too much. Today it's fine, but man back then was definitely spoiler hell.

Can't wait for the next episode though! Char time please!!!!

Oh man :(
I normally don't get too into relationships in anime, but the Amuro x Matilda thing was great. Perhaps it's just because I'm usually into the young kid x older woman relationship, but I was really hoping for it to go somewhere... and then NOPE. :(
This show knows how to hit right where it hurts...

Gotta say, Matilda's respect-paying scene was a lot easier to take seriously than that of Ryu... Well, at least until Amuro had to ruin the moment and start yelling.

Also, yay, another bitchslap! I should have counted these from the beginning of the show - I'm pretty sure there's one every other episode.

Maybe I'm watching this show for the wrong reasons. Haha.

I'll be honest. I started laughing when Amuro kept yelling her name. It completely killed the mood.

She was pretty nice, though I think I miss Ramba Ral more than Ryu or Matilda. The only characters that are "important" to me are Amuro, Bright, Sayla, Char, and (to an extent thanks to recent developments) Mirai.

These Black Tri-Stars have interesting mobile suits, and they seem much better at teamwork than the previous opponents.

Perhaps too hastily, abandons us the character of Matilda, if he had spent a little time in history, his departure would affect more on the viewer, what a pity!
Narratively it is very exciting result once again the battle, characters increasingly growing, another page of history is being written, with it also the infamous scheming against the Federation are discovered.

Don't know what Matilda expected to achieve in her transport ship against some of the newest mobile suits around, but it was sad to see her go. It's nice to see this attack is finally going to happen because they have been talking about it for a long time now.

What an episode! It did have its flaws, but I'll let them pass.

I'm watching the dub, so seeing Matilda pass was shocking. I do concur that it did seem rushed and I thought there would be more build up to her death. Maybe next episode Amuro will commiserate about her passing.

Also the battle scenes rocked! And what a great name "The Black Tri-Stars."

Really not affected by Matilda death, even if it wasn't spoiled by the preview. Not that she was a bad character but we only saw brief scenes with her up till now. I thought we were going to see why that was. But she was here just to be killed off.

Shame, she seemed like a good character. I was thinking she was going to be the one who exposed the spy's or better yet be one. That would have been a decent twist.
