Just a thought from looking at that new design; anyone else think the limbs look a little X-Maoh-ish? Looking at the grooves in the backpack as solar panel stickers, here's hoping for pirate skull eyebeams of death whenever it turns up in the anime :yohoho::allears:.

Slightly disappointed the design doesn't seem to match the existing design, I like the single long chest vent that goes under the cockpit.

Fairy Tail Another show will be taking GBF's timeslot on April 30th, so we finally have confirmation that the show will be around 26 episodes. A season two is possible, but considering a new Gundam anime will be announced in March I highly doubt it.

We've known it was 2 cour since uh, well, the beginning.

Also the show taking its timeslot is http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/oreca_dracolle/, not Fairy Tail.

I am interested in your source on a Fairy Tail timeslot though.

So... that was pretty awesome. Bit of a facepalm considering that they didn't turn off the system after the battle like they did every other time, not to mention allowing the begining Gundam to waltz in and get its poo poo wrecked, but in a series with teleporting Ramba Ral my suspension of disbelief is pretty solid.

That ending tho... Its shocking that a show about gunpla is the first one in which I actually give a gently caress that the cyber newtype loses her poo poo, and that the protagonist finds out that it was her all along. I might have actually given a poo poo about Four, Stella, Lalah and all the others if they had the same chemistry that Reiji and Aila Aina have.

And god drat was it hilarious to watch Sei pantomime getting brightslapped.

So I suppose the Dark Matter is going to be the Kampfer Amazing replacement?

I'm assuming that them having to force-boot the system wasn't a thing that had to be done before, given that glasses dude seemed really hesitant about doing it and made a lot of "Well it's not my fault" excuses before he did it. That probably explains why they couldn't really turn it off properly. He reminds me of the doctor on Allenby's team in G Gundam who wasn't really cool with the Berserker system.

My bet with the Dark Matter is that it will be intended for Yuuki but it will be jacked by the chairman somehow.

I meant the actual battle system. Normally its 'Battle ended' and the system turns off immediately. My best guess is that the system deals with someone conceeding slightly differently than someone losing outright.

Yeah, coming off a rewatch of Forever Four this managed to be have more of an impact than Four did for me. Maybe it's just because we've seen Aila more.

I think its partly that, and partly just that the interaction between the two has been really well done. With the exception of the build episode most of their interaction has been 3-5 minute stints of becoming progressively less and less annoying to one another which, in my experience at least, is how a lot of people become friends.

I genuinely believe and empathize with Reiji's hurt about being lied to, whereas I never really got why four or stella or any of the others were that important.

I don't know what it was about that episode, but it felt way shorter/lighter on content than usual. Maybe it was because the fight wasn't really all that much? Weird.

On the other hand, even if it's a bit of a predictable nod, I really appreciate that Fellini's last resort is the ability to self-destruct his Gundam. It's only fitting for a Wing variant.

Darth Walrus

I feel we've kind of been spoilt here. It was still quite a fight, even if it had a different tone from many of the others. Fellini's trick with the cloud of snow was particularly impressive.

I think that is because they nested the serious stuff with a lot of fluff. Aila worried about what winning would lead to, and then Reiji learning who she really is next to Nils hypnotherapy silliness and Sei's dad sitting around eating ramen wondering where his wife is (she has no cell phone?) and while some shows do a good job of it the pace and transitions on this show are so brisk you can't dwell on it long when its not one-note.

Sadly this episode didn't sell me on the papillon. I'll probably pick it up later on but I still think its ugly and not that bad-rear end. Still lovin that Fenice though. I wish he had self destructed it. Then he could have told Kirara that poo poo isn't everything and he'd have more time to spend going after her (until he has to make another fenice for next year's tourney), and at the same time hamstringing team nemesis. That way he could be less of a goon choosing gun-pla over girl-pus.

I think Mihoshi wouldn't be cool with Fellini destroying his baby like that because, if that's how he treats his long-time partner in crime, then what does that say about his longevity with a girl he's only known for a few weeks?

Also, did Reiji have any particularly negative reaction to the Renato brothers' tactics in last week's episode? He said he was fine with Kirara's underhanded tactics earlier in the series.

Just rewatched it again because it was that good of an episode. That poor look from Aila at the end there. Its like she just got caught by her husband mid gangbang with the poolboy, gardener and her husbands boss, not that she just went a bit overboard winning a plastic robot battle.

Nah, he was just surprised Yuuki was losing.

Incidentally, Reiji was the first one to actually notice the 1/144 Zeon soldiers. From like twenty feet away, at the top of the spectator stands. In a dark, rainy area. Dude's ridiculous.
