Mecha Talk

What was this? It 404'ed.

it was that picture of Romary in a bikini that Asem and friends had tacked up on the wall.

Ona different subject, why didn't the Vegan just try to blow Tordia to smithereens?

Maybe they'd basically thought that their spy network there has been compromised, and decided to just take over the whole thing.

Of course if they just wanted the Gundam, then Zehart should have just taken it from Asem when he had him at his mercy in the last episode so I don't know. They weren't really Gundam centric in the last episode so perhaps they've changed priorities during the timeskip.

Apologies for being late. I think what sparked the Emily discussion is how the writers seemingly forgot she was present at Asem's graduation. The Emily I liked was the one who just sauntered into restricted military areas, confronted big suspicious bearded men and pushed her way onto a battleship like she was a total badass. The Emily at Asem's graduation seemed content to sit in the shadows and watch her son get manhandled.

I liked the interaction between Asem and Tieri... Zeheart in this episode, but there were a lot of plot elements which were really not very well thought out, even for a kids' show.

Also G-Bouncer's debut... sigh....

Having a woman be "suppourtive" is not a bad thing in and of itself. The problem is when it's portrayed (explicitly or implicitly) as the ONLY appropriate thing for a woman to be.

April 7, 1979: The first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam premieres. Fanboys declare Gundam "Ruined FOREVER".

In regards to having Emily not doing anything, it was probably better that way for the flow of the episode. Imagine her protesting and saying what is generic security man doing treating the son of legendary Flit Asuno like that? Sure, it would probably have been nicer for that, but that's not teaching family values and standing up for your friends moreso than having the series' best mobile suit designer buy your way out of situations :/

I'd also like to point out that, (ugh I can't remember her name) the new captain of the Diva will hopefully be like Murrue in terms of having an impact on how Asem acts.

Has anyone else found the OP and ED songs are much better once you let them grow? I know people griped about them the first time they came out, but I've set them on loop and now they're really fun to listen to, though I feel like the two songs could probably have fared better switching places, with the ED being the OP and vice versa.

Nope. I can honestly after these last few weeks that I still think that the second OP utterly sucks. That's just me though.

It's not just you, I find it as my least favorite gundam opening theme; actually Asemu's entire arc irritates me to no end, haven't found anything likeable about it so far (as a few of you commented about one of my thoughts earlier). As cliched as Flit's arc was it was still enjoyable to watch, this is......... Psh, I'll have a better consensus once AGE-2 arrives (really hoping the series will get good again at that point). I'll give this arc three more episodes counting the day after tomorrow's ep; if my thoughts are still negative by then I'm dropping the series until whatshisname and the third arc take over.

Edit: And I just found out that Romary is voiced by the same person that does Zessica in Aquarion Evol. If one voice actor can work on two such dislike-able humans, I have really bad feeling in my gut about how mini-Dique's going to affect the series enjoyability for me. *straps self in and puts on helmet*

I've been madly in love with the ED for awhile and personally I think its the right place. The OP really had that upbeat opening thing to it though, which is why I feel like it fits there.

While I don''t adore it nearly as much as the ED, I liked the OP from episode 16 and I've been liking it ever since. Way better than Flit's OP in my opinion, which I just skip over almost evertime I watch an episode whereas I've been going through this OP for Asem's episodes so far.

I dislike the opening more everytime I heard it. The ending is ok, although it reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. I don't know why.

Is there still hope that Jam Project would do the last OP? That would be epic. They had never done anything for Gundam.

JAM Project were on the 'Gundam Tribute by Lantis' album. As for them doing an OP...I really don't see the need. When everyone else was cheering that fake rumour, I was dissapointed. They can do some epic songs but they also all sound near identical. The current OP may not be my most favourite ever (though a big part of that is I think the visuals could be tighter) but I'd rather have that then "WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!"

The second OP's grown on me, personally. I like the feel of it.

It does with me as well. I think it might be because FMA Brotherhood had an ED animation that involves going through a long tunnel.

This would be why.

So...

After three episodes of drag the show gets watchable again! Yay! Also Arisa isn't that annoying yet (keywords being "that" and "yet"). Next episode has Desil's grand return for epic payback.

What makes you think she would become annoying?

This episode was good, in my mind.

To answer DG, she's voiced by the same person that voices my second least favorite anime character after that one piece of diabetic inducing pedo-trash who's name I will not mention here.
