tsob posted:They annoyed me a little bit, just because Atra stowed them in the helmets. There's really no point in putting on a normal suit in battle if you're not going to have your helmet on, or at least to hand. I imagine at least Atra should have known better since she knew how to put on a normal suit in the first place. No-one else on the bridge was wearing helmets.

The Normal Suit thing in general is weird because it just seems sort of haphazard. It was excuse to have the female cast members in their underclothing, obviously, but still. That said I wanted Kudelia to put on the helmet because I wanted to know how the gently caress her hair would fit.

SyntheticPolygon posted:No-one else on the bridge was wearing helmets. I presumed they all had theirs on hand in case there was a breach. If there was one both Atra and Kudelia were hosed though, since they'd have to run back down the corridor (possibly further) and dump a load of potatoes out of theirs to have any chance. Though I suppose there might have been spare helmets around the bridge too. Still, my pedantry was rustled and that's that

usually the bridge crew would be wearing their normal suits though, so i don't think it's a case of the girls being unique in their unpreparedness. if that stuff really matters

They were in the locker-room. How do we know they didn't just use spare helmets to stow the taters?

Ah, Mika's true waifu at last. Anyway, I'm kind of blown away by this show. It's tense, intriguing, well acted, and even fairly funny. "What a delicious name "

I have a feeling that Kudelia's hair is going to get cut short at some point, and I really hope I'm wrong because that massive ponytail is ridiculous in zero G and I love it.

This was quite possibly the best Gundam episode of anything in ages. I loved the battle choreography, "limited" amount of ship ammunition flying around, making every shot feel important and meaty, both ships facing each other with their most armored parts, etc. The dialogue felt like it could go few ways, like there was an element of choice. Perhaps this sounds extremely goony, but it was like I was watching a good RPG dialogue with several options and character strengths to utilize with different potential outcomes. Biscuit was awesome. And it felt like anyone could die at any point due to lovely choices. Dessel fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Nov 16, 2015 |

This show is really tense, it gets me so hype. I was really expecting Akihiro to bite it when he's going full berserk at the end, and Mika's one-on-one was brutal as well.boom boom boom posted:They didn't have helmets with them when they went to the bridge. This doesn't discount the possibility there were like 4+ helmets in that room and they left two full of potatoes and two they-really-should-be-wearing-these-but-this-is-anime-so-whatever helmets there

AradoBalanga posted:There's probably going to be a future scene where Kudelia's hair being too long for a helmet comes up. And it'll probably be a mix of comedy and serious drama. But mostly comedy. I thought it was coming this episode when Atra was looking at her oddly right as the animators made a point of her absurdly gigantic hair floating in zero-g.

OneDeadman posted:What a delicious name! Biscuit own zone In other news I think my favorite part of this is in any other show and even other gundam shows we would get a flash back of mika telling not guts to take these two suits on but instead he just hearing it echo in his head as he goes full  on them in his piece of crap duct taped together graze. Basically the show seems to flow and have pacing which is blowing me away for a gundam specially after reconguista.

One other  detail this episode was that Maruba had Kudelia listed under the possessions he was handing over to Teiwaz. I mean, yes, Gjallarhorn presumably has a bounty out on her, but if that's what they were going for, then they had... quite a way of putting it.

I'm pretty sure he just means that he personally considers her his "property" since she was part of what Maruba agree to give him, but we'll find out eventually, I guess.

Baal posted:Akihiro just starts punching that Hyakuren's leg in desperation and I fall in love with him and the new girl who's crazy Akihiro is honestly pretty legitimately impressive as a pilot even after getting his rear end kicked. Without the aid of the super system he was at least surviving against two trained combat pilots in what amounts to a slightly modified IBO Zaku. He would have probably died there but he was at least giving it a good fight.

I keep forgetting they haven't rigged his graze with the AV system so he is pretty must rage learning how to pilot that thing without having the advantage of being wired to it with his whiskers.

Keep in mind that the Graze is state of the art in IBO, so it outperforms every non-Gundam mobile suit in the setting, officially.

I had assumed they had given in and added an AV system to his Graze but hadn't specifically mentioned it, since it would be a pretty big and weird leap from "barely able to float in place and fire a gun" to "engage in high speed melee combat against two highly experienced enemy pilots, at least one of them an ace, and not immediately die" in such a short time.

In the previous episode Akihiro mentions how he wants some more simulator time with Mika, so it's not entirely out of nowhere that he can fly the Graze Kai well. He is Tekkadan's second-best pilot after all. Though yeah, I expect another mobile worker to get cannibalized so that he can jack in properly.
