I'm pumped up for the next ep. hopefully decil appears again. on a side note, I just wish riria makes it to the second arc. And you probably know why I want her XD.
as for this ep. still no improvement on fight choreography, but I gotta hand it to Woolf, the G-Exes debut was great. 8/10

Honestly i think this is the most pathetic episode among the 8 episodes. For an episode that's supposed to focus on fights, its fights are really pathetic. For starters , its freaking obvious that the UE ain't putting in any efforts. The writers better have a really good reason when they reveals who the UE really are.
I have got no problem with Titus being wrestler-based and i was pretty curious to see it in action. But the practicability of its weapons are at times questionable. I wonder about the alogrithms of the AGE system , basically how the hell did it come up with an answer like smashing the enemy with its fists when there isn't any beam weaponery on its fist or why didn't it consider beam-blades etc Anyway im glad they expanded upon Largan's fight against Baqto(spelling error?) though it was very obvious the UE wasn't putting in any effort. And what a mystery at the end of the episode with Zedas in that factory. With only a few episodes left for this generation, i'm pretty curious as to how they will handle the characters like Yark, Woolf etc and relate them to the next gen. I get a feeling Woolf will be frozen in some kind of sleep and reawaken when Flit's son gets his gundam. EDIT: The G-Exes was a tad cooler then Titus . Strange as it sounds, the coolest thing in this episode is Baqto's chest beam blades. 5/10

Umm i never state that i had any problems with the beam weapons on the limbs . I assume you replied because i mentioned about the 'practicability'. Allow me to elaborate, honestly i think there would better solutions to the lariat move.Like for example, placing beam blades(or whatever) at its fists . I'm not saying the beam rings are useless, but there are better choices for better locations to put weapons which would allow Titus to eliminate its enemies faster

This episode had such a great action, man the UE stood no chance. 4 Baqtos all destroyed with ease. The G-Exes is one hell of a MS, can't wait to see it do more. Then there is this Yark Dole guy, nicknamed the "Dark Merchant" possessing blue prints thought to be long gone...how peculiar.

Don't understand the logic behind Titus. I take that it's AGE Systems answer to Gundams inability to penetrate and destroy UE with a beamgun... following what was shown in the episodes flashback that is.
The UE enemy that didn't manage to fall under beamguns fire is a heavy armored type. If so, the proper answer to the problem would be not to change the whole unit to a blunt/heavy melee type of a unit but to simply add more agility/mobility and a corresponding weapon that'd be able to slash/pierce the the armor -> G-Exes. It's nice to fight heavy with heavy but the battlefield isn't as ideal as in the AGE Gundam series where protagonists gets all the enemies to fight in a favorable manner. Have one of them take flight, have higher mobility units fight his heavy armored Gundam while flying. Anyways, decent episode.

The logic is to fight fire with fire - the Normal type got damaged pretty easily, so AGE System provided parts with enough armor and durability to match the Baqtos'. Its not like Flit is good enough of a pilot to pull off what Woolf did with the G-EXES, at least not yet.

So I take he is better at fighting in a much more advanced form of combat which is melee style?
True he is poor at shooting but that does not change the fact that the battlefield has high mobility enemies that can fly as well as a heavy armored unit. If there's any logic behind the AGE system reasoning, it'd be better to have Gundam pilot pick enemies off from a distance with a stronger weapon instead of making him a better target for units that have terrain superiority. As I see it, Titus here is eye candy / toy maker dream unit for kids to purchase.

Flit has been a far better melee combatant thus far than a ranged guy. Plus they are fighting in a colony and Flit was even initially hesitant on using the Dots Rifle due to the risk of damaging the colony structure, so a more powerful rifle isn't going to help in this case.

My answer to your statement - he is good enough at shooting to hit the heavy armor type UE with a rifle several times in previous episodes. The logic is still lacking.
Also, using Titus in this fight is impossible unless the plot is fixed at having ALL the enemies fighting the Titus on ground. As I said, incorporate logic and proper fighting without necessary plot settings and Titus is useless in this episode.

Again - Normal got damaged extremely easily, so the smart thing would NOT be for the AGE system to make a new rifle so Flit would be able to shoot at the Baqto at point-blank range again, because the both times that happened, the beam rifle got knocked away pretty easily, and the Gundam could easily get damaged again.

AGE system produced a unit that is good at fighting Baqto and other units on the battlefield, but with obviousl plot fixes.

Let me explain: 1.Gundam Spec A is able to kill UA Spec A 2.Gundam Spec A is unable to beat UA Spec B 3.Gundam Spec B is produced to kill UA Spec B 4.Gundam Spec B is inferior in this configuration to UA Spec A (terrain superiority, mobility/agility) 5.The battlefield features UE enemies of Spec A and Spec B Conclusion - AGE System managed to create a setting to defeat Spec B but made the unit more susceptible to Spec A enemies -> decreased pilots chances of survival. My reasoning still remains, unless the plot is fixed at having all enemies fighting Titus on ground in conditions favorable for Titus, the new configuration is pretty much useless and thus remains an eyecandy.

Also, I think you are forgetting the fact that enemies have this amazing ability to cluster on 1 target to cause severe damage... let's see, for example while flying out of it's reach? Then again, it's Gundam AGE and the cool factor is more important then logic / situational combat on battlefield that some other series spoiled us with. @Realist_Classic That is actualy a very good argument. I respect it's value.
