Nope, same here. It's no Thunderbolt, for sure.

I love that the justification they come up for him being able to pilot the thing is "eh, the MMI for a prosthetic can sort of work like an AV system, right?"

Most sensible explanation I've ever found for Katejina is that she gets Cyber-Newtyped after the Keilas Guilie battle. It's never stated in the show (and I suspect, given everything else, that Tomino was simply going for 'women just be crazy like that'), but it makes more sense than pretty much every other theory.

One good thing about BESPA Katejina, though (well, in the early days, before the crazy really takes hold) is that she's the second-smartest, most creative fighter in the show after Uso. Makes her fights pretty fun to watch.

I like Katejina just because she never quits. Just when you think she's reached the apex of crazy--BOOM. She takes it to the next level. It's like that episode of DBZ where they introduce SSJ3 but instead she just keeps making up new forms into infinity.

Also generally, no, the dialogue is just super awkwardly worded.

it is, but it has certain implications :v:

I dunno, it's significantly more optimistic than her simply dying in a mobile suit explosion.

She's physically and mentally scarred from the war, but she gets to effectively start over and try living a new life, despite all of the horrid things she did and was an accessory to.

Slightly better fate considering the many others around her in that series now, still heart breaking though. The survivors of Victory Gundam are the saddest characters.

Sadly, they won't. They confirmed on Twitter that they're using the Animax Asia dub for this. So yeah, brace yourselves for that.

For anyone who hasn't experienced an Animax dub, well...

I dunno, the AGE one isn't TOO bad. I mean I wouldn't call it good, but it's a serious step forward from that ZZ dub.

Good gently caress, the idea that I'd call anything regarding AGE's anime a step forward in relation to any other Gundam series...

I think Thunderbolt might be my favorite gundam series now. After watching episode 4. And it's so conflicting; I liked Turn A because it took place in such a distant faraway future, it left to the imagination to wonder what kind of unspeakable horrors had to have happened for humanity to loop back towards 19th century tech; I still love BF because it got me into building model kits again. But thunderbolt, it does a better job than 08th MS Team at the whole "this is what war does. this is what you can expect" vibe.

Speaking of, Volume 7 recently got translated. I'll post a trip report when I'm done reading it.
