Really surprised all of gallyhorn got in big trouble over the s1 finale. I'd figure they just blame one branch and call it a day, not cause stability issues throughout the entire earth.

Mcgillis also being the second mask guy would be the best on so many levels.

Next level nic cage crazy, current mcgillis is actually gaellios surgery into mcgillis withh false memories while new mask guy is mcgillis.

The only reason why the mask is full covered is to have a voice filter so Mika doesn't instantly find out

then Mika finds out anyway because he questions why anyone would need a voice filter in combat

I didn't realize Aston was in season 1.

I'm glad at the very least, they kept their stance to not spam battles every episode and they seem to make more self-aware jokes about it.

Despite all these new characters, it really does feel like an expansion of the world that doesn't overshadow the new ones. We already seen Mika's journey, so using him as a boogeyman legend to keep in presence while not actually taking all the side development is cool.

I like that for once, a dramatic aerial drop is a bad idea to do because it will gently caress up even a Gundam. Land safely!

It's super common tactic, but as I just finished Mafia 3, I couldn't help but thinking "They just need to do 200k more damage to draw out the boss."

I'm glad that McGillis teaming with Tekkadan isn't really a secret, and laughing that Akihiko is annoyed that people keep surrendering to him.

I think Mika would very much like to farm til the end of his days, it's just that being a pilot is the safest route for Tekkadan and his family in the long run.

To be fair, they don't know that human debris pilots are mostly the enemy ranks.

On the other hand, that wouldn't change a single thing on Mika's part.

In mika's defense, his kills are way too quick to elect a surrender. The dude was punching cockpits to save ammo.

It's that nice balance where ships are fast in space because duh it's space, but not too fast like in Igloo where ships are basically drifting like it's Fast and Furious.

Iirc seed was the first series that was a huge hit outside of model kits because it hit an untapped market of female audience, which led to gundam 00 characters being designed by a popular female-popular artist that did loveless.

I guess I'm the only one that assumes Orga shaked on the deal just to get things moving, but already has some back-up plans in mind when it goes to poo poo? Sorta like the mafia deal before, he didn't just go in guns blazing before calling in a favor to prevent reinforcements.

Also I didn't notice until today that McGilli's rep is a major character. His face screamed generic one-time guy, like that Earth guy from Naruto.

Mika's said multiple times that he trusts any decision Orga makes.

I love little cliches they make fun of during battle. Super accurate sniper in space? Mika avoids his shot by literally just going straight because dodging makes him more likely to get hit.

I think it's a pretty simple thing of Iok dying would make her boss unhappy, and there's literally no need for him to be there.

An interesting theory I read is that Mika shot 4 times because he was using his non-dominant hand and only had 1 eye to aim, not because of his usual "Make sure they're dead" reasoning.

It's pretty obviously gali gali, and he seemed to reminiscence when he was Ein's commander during that conversation more than anything else.

The pride line could either reference himself when he was so proud of being Ein's leader, or McGillis.

We also don't know how much human is left in Gaelio. It could be a great part of his calmness is because he is machine enough to not put out strong emotions to do short-sighted things.

I really hope McGillis doesn't know Gaelio is still alive, and Gaelio actually manages to gently caress up his plans. Things have been all according to keikaku too long for McGillis, I want his downfall to come from something he never saw coming

I think you rather want a Monster ending than Gali Gali taking his revenge, then.

Thats going to be a bit hard for him given that one of his arms and eyes don't work unless he is in a mobile suit. I also have a feeling his body will get worse as the series goes on.

The twins mention that Mika's been trying to plant new stuff in the martian soil. He's not just been fighting the past 6 months.

I kinda doubt Rustal and Galan were related. It's probably just two bearded guys that look alike, and there's really no point in making them brothers when the show's been consistent in milking that relationship as a major sub-plot before.
