Caught the first few episodes of season 1 at the con, so I've picked this up finally.

I am so glad Notkamina isn't dead by episode 10.

Orga is very different from Kamina.

"He's actually the strong one, I just put on this act to keep pushing him in the right direction" is pretty fuckin' Kamina. He's just a bit smarter so far is all.

You're getting their relationship reversed. (Though depending on how far you are that's understandable.)

Yeah, only episode 12 or 13 now, but I do see the hints towards the reverse.

He sure did carry a great big 'Definitely Not Kamina' flag for the first half of S1 though.

Season 1 down.

McGillis did nothing wrong.

Opinion zone:

I liked the ending. I like this concept of changing the world but perhaps being on the wrong side of history in doing so. What it really, absolutely needed though, at the very end, was for Rustal to make some hint that he knew most of Tekkadan escaped. I think that would make him maybe a little too untouchable, but it gives him a slighly different face in the mostly amenable aftermath.

"Constructive losing." I kinda like that.

I want a Julieta spinoff now though. There couldn't have been just one mobile armor left.

Addendum: "Oh gently caress, is that a beam weapon?" was the best part of the show from a Gundam-as-a-whole angle. That it probably still pales in power to other beam weapons (looking at you Wing) is what's really scary about the latter. Collateral damage just never comes up.

For everything it subverted about Gundam, though, Mika sure did Goku it up.

I was thinking more like Cell Saga when those things stopped bailing him out.
