Why would I fight a brother in spirit? The Leo is the best of grunts. I just love its clean lines and military look. I'm sad that with all the Wing cameos we've been getting there has been no Leo, and that the Tallgeese that showed up was fated to job to a main character.

Just wanna point out that one of the dudes in that big group that attacked Felini was using a Zaku Tank. I don't think you could get more weak rear end then that.

I really wish this soundtrack wasn't so good, I had it in the background while I worked on a law paper, but I kept finding myself getting engrossed in the music.

Oh my god the amount of cameos in this episode.  BF is the one true timeline. Haman is little Mineva's mom and she took her out to play on the gundam rides    e-Jesus christ there hasnt been 2 minutes without a cameo popping up. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Mar 17, 2014 |

My favorite was the inevitable Char Aznable cameo. And better yet he looks like he's on a date with Lalah I really enjoyed this episode and I hope that Sei coming into his own as a pilot means if they do a 2nd season that we can just have Sei/Reiji tag teams! The only part of the episode I was disappointed in was How unceremoniously Sei met up with his dad. It was cute, but I was expecting something a little more grand that that.

I loved this episode pretty much from start to finish. Even though it was filler, it was really GOOD filler. Funny cameos literally everywhere, neat little fights that honestly looked higher effort than the Star Build vs GX Maoh episode, Sei showing off that he's been paying attention the whole time, the return of Gorilla and Gyan...I don't really have a favorite part because I enjoyed it all a lot. I guess Fellini's "win no matter what" policy gets stretched a little bit when it comes to girlfriends, though. :bigtran: The true all-star moment was the post-credits snippet. I seriously lost my poo poo laughing for about a minute straight at EVIL MIND CONTROL MEIJIN GLASSES

So many cameos. So many beautiful, beautiful cameos. I suspected that the Miss Sazabi would be a joint Aila/China build, given its name, but I'm really happy to be proven right. Also, the goddamned Turn X showing up in Harry Ord's colours and jobbing to a fuckin' custom Gyan? Shine on, you glorious show.

By the way, the three suits that successfully blew up Cziommer's suits were winners of some kind of fan-submission contest. I don't remember the details.

This is probably one my favorite episodes so far just because of how many adorable cameos there were. Haman and baby Mineva may have been my favorite cameo, but the Kasshus, Christina, Bernie, and Al are also pretty high up there!

Man it really says something when you have an episode thats literally 80% slide show, 100% fan service filler, designed entirely to sell you new kits, and yet it has more heart in it than just about anything I've seen this season. This show has blown away every expectation I've had

Even discounting the cameo avalanche this was a drat nice breather episode. Most of everyone in the series got a bit of screentime, Sei and Reiji got their little friendship match, man it was just pure . But by god, words can not express how much I want this thing's kit now. Mao you lucky bastard.

I think it's partly because the show's been completely open and honest about it the whole time. They've never tried to push gunpla as something like the be-all end-all Big Thing in-universe like some shows do (hell, they even mention that the Zeon bar is just a place that people hang out in after work for fun), and more importantly the only message they've tried to push is have fun and enjoy yourself. StrifeHira posted:But by god, words can not express how much I want this thing's kit now. Mao you lucky bastard. I think I might get one too, though the skull looks more badass than on the actual kit. My only complaint is the way it's introduced is a little haphazard, because when the Imagine trashed the X-Maoh it wasn't even really all that badly destroyed. They could've dropped that fight and it'd have been stronger for him moping all this time over losing his gundam to Reiji and Sei edit: ZenMasterBullshit posted:gently caress that I need that Fenice Rinascita. It's so good but we heard literally nothing about it until this episode. It'll never get a HG. At least the Crossbones Kai has a confirmed kit. I wouldn't count it out yet. The Crossbone's something they could, theoretically, hide in the lineup without it being immediately obvious as to the owner (along with the Miss Sazabi and Exia DM). The Fenice Rinascita on the other hand would be just way too big a spoiler because it's a rebuild of the same kit. Considering it's "just" another Wing Gundam reskin there'll probably be a kit for it. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Mar 17, 2014 |

Guess that explains why the big bad villain MS is an Exia rather than a big evil 00. Though Yuuki should've gotten a Sazabi variant rather than Aila, just for the progression from Zaku to Kampfer up to the Sazabi (a Zeon grunt Mobile Suit to a middle-tier MS to a top-end one) edit: GundamGuy's added artwork images of the Fenice Rinashita, Crossbone Kai and Gyan Vulcan if you want a better look at any of them Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 17, 2014 |

Also Sei's piloting has stepped up. Not enough to make me want the MkII but it doesn't look as boring to me now. Also Fellini can't take a dive to help out the BS team but Kirara gets a free pass. Trading his burning gunpla spirit for burning morning after piss spirit (he is quite promiscuous after all).
