Tae posted:They just added another faction, and now I caught up and...this is 26 episodes? Because they pretty much have to stop everything to solve whatever is needed for the ending. I don't know what to think because I want more episodes to pad out the, frankly poo poo pacing in terms of information, but at the same time just cut all the filler and make it a movie trilogy. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't have any idea why Raraiya was in the show for the first twelve or so episodes. She's effectively a totally new character once she got her brain fixed, so the only reason I can think of is because the show needed Moe for some godawful reason. Neddy Seagoon posted:The Dorette Fleet wants the Earth Ships to add to their forces for when they launch their Reconguista of Earth. They want the G-Self because they built it. What did the Towasanga group that isn't the Dorette Fleet want again? I'm not being snippy, I'm genuinely asking because I've forgotten. There is a split between them and the main fleet right? Part of me wants the Godwan guys to come out of nowhere with a patched up Gryps II for the ending, but I don't think that is going to happen.

The series will end with no resolution to the politicking but instead any semblance of diplomacy or negotiations will break down and the final shot will be of an announcement of total war on all sides involved. The last line as it all fades to black will be Bellri insisting it wasn't his fault.

There is a split between them and the main fleet right? Dorette Fleet wants a reconguista and a change in the Photon Battery system. Towasanga doesn't because Dorette are assholes. It's worth noting that Reconguista is just a term in the universe, not a specific plan. The G-IT guys also want a Reconguista but their Reconguista involves a lot more violence.

Or at least for everyone else to stop fighting and/or go home so they can be left in peace.

Raraiya is around in the first half of the show for comic relief + to stop the audience getting so distracted with the Ameria/Capital Tower conflict that they forget there's something happening in space. I like how a lot of the Venus Globe G-Lab whatever bad guys have suits with beam sabers as the main weapons because they live in a place where your soul is doomed forever if a stray beam shot hits a giant space battery or their portable ocean. I dunno to what extent that design choice was intentional, because all the venus grunt suits just seem to have beam rifles, as does the giant mobile armour, but the G-Lucifer also just has a bunch of giant beam saber bits so who knows.

I laughed at the bit where she tells the two guys guarding her that it's dumb to stick close together like that. But then I realized it could have been easy to do that joke with Aida instead.

A faction which has been constantly mentioned and alluded to through the Rose of Hermes blueprints and mentions of the Hermes Foundation. Why do people keep complaining about this when we haven't even gotten to see anything from Gondwan(aside from one ship)?

The stream was all hosed up today, so I only caught about a quarter of the episode, but there was definitely at least one thing in that quarter worthy of all those HAHs.

The occupant of the g-lucifer has been revealed, and it's Manny and Noredo jointly piloting the thing. I'm glad tomino is still willing to write curveballs like that, even if it might not last to the end.

http://www.gundam.info/topic/12536 Whole bunch of new suits revealed, including art for the Z'gok analogue that showed up in this episode, which makes me very happy. 5 Episodes left. In other news, from the weird situation with Vol.1, BD 2 went on to hold in the top 15 of the oricon rankings and vol 3 just debuted at number 1. The show is selling.

I think the G-IT people realized the earthlings were way more dangerous than they initially believed and are giving them all these new toys so they'll wipe each other out.
