Yea ok I know the whole kids being involved in war and what not has been a thing for gundam and I was somewhat ok with the kids being stuck(it's what I go with since anything else just makes it all sound fantastically daft) on the Diva but now that they are going into space they are taking the kids with them? Really?
Kids being stuck on board was ok as it's just them taggin along till the reach where and the kids are sent on their merry way but now that they are going into space, whether the Vagan presense is much much more, they are taking them with them? I want to throw my sense of disbelief out the window so I can accept this fact(much with alot of things with gundam) but this is really pushing it to it's limits. And whats this AGE-3 powered by shounen emotion power? ....ok I'll bite, I found that rather funny Anyway, gotta say I find Natora being one the good aspects of this gen(maybe even the entire series for that fact), she's different. It's a change from the usual head strong captains. Rina Satou is rather perfect for the role. Now then onwards to the space pirates!

The majority of the Feds shown in AGE (well any Gundam really) aren't really the most ethical people around (refer to the first episode in the Kio arc where the soldier flat out refused to help the kids until Kio took a shot at him). Diva is also the ship where the Feds dump their unwanted people and problems onto, on top of that it's partially ran by Flit Asuno, where the mid-high levels commands actively want to spite him regardless of the consequences. I could picture the base crew flat out refusing to take in the kids and said "yeah, you guys on Diva just hang on to these pesky kids kthxbai".

Not to mention the Vagans actively murders civilians as part of their invasion tactics anyway, don't think it makes much of a difference if you are on a battleship or a civilian shelter. Given the choice I'll stick with Diva just because Flit Asuno is onboard.

I mean with AGE season 1-2 it was somewhat ok for the kids like Dique and Emily to be on there as Dique would inherit the responsibilities of the AGE system and so forth. Here? Those kids are just decorations. |

Most of the Fed soldiers are cold enough to not bother (as shown by that Fed soldier driving the car), the crew of Diva has no time to do it, so where's that "someone" you are talking about?

Easily the best episode of the 3rd generation yet even though we still kind of seem to be taking a ton of queues from the Soldiers In Sorrow arc of the original. There's a lot going on this time around and lots of solid character development. Kio has to deal with his first major loss in the war with Shanalua getting killed and their being nothing he could do about it. As Flit said that's sometimes the way things go and I think it'll be a good lesson for him going forward, especially since in this show every character has made a major stride after a big loss. For Flit it was Yurin's death that convinced him that his life would be devoted to protecting Earth from the Vagan's, for Asem it was Woolf's death that finally convinced him that he could step out from under his fathers shadow and be his own man, and for Kio it looks like Shanalua's pointless yet inevitable death will convince him that this is where he ought to be, trying to put an end to the war so that situations like hers don't happen.
Algreus is the man and so is Seric Abis. It seems like only Flit manages to get the good comptetent men on his side, but can he really mold Natora into a serviceable captain. It looks like all she needs is some confidence since she does seem to understand the basics of her role, but it's looking to be a slow process. Flit's going to have to be the captain of the Diva for quite some time yet I think. On the Vagan side it looks like Zeheart's postion is starting to slip a bit ala his brothers in the past after failure after failure, though it doesn't seem like Ezelcant is really setting him up in a position to succeed and Zeheart calls him on it. Meanwhile he's got Zanald looking like he's not going to follow him much anymore and we've got Fram who looks to play the Lalah a bit in being the mysterious waif sent from above to assist an increasingly outmatched hero, yet unlike Lalah she doesn't seem like she really thinks much of him now and also seems a lot more sinister. What are the odds she has some sort of Mobile Armor to pilot in the near future. Anyway since Soldiers of Sorrow ended with them going off into space to face an enemy in orbit (albeit a bit in reverse since Vagan is invading, not retreating by this point like Zeon) it looks like that's what we'll do here. They did a semi-reference to the lengdary bird scene so I wonder whether we'll get the reference to the start of Encounters in Space at the start of the next one. I kind of hope not because without White Base Goes To the Moon playing it's kind of pointless since that's what made the scene iconic. |

And besides, if they're going to use that excuse, then they should at least address it the show. Otherwise, it just look like those children are really supposed to be there. |

Btw, if I'm not mistaken that Adelle Zeheart cut in half this episode is his first kill on screen since like episode 18 or 19...
mission success rate = 0% kills = 4 or 5 in 20 years. very unimpressive.

Kind of funny how the kids are taken into space, while their family/parents could have survived the initial assault and are now looking for them. It is already a staple in gundam, where the female love interest takes after kids

The kids thing is pretty odd. If you are going to try and find their parents then keeping them on Earth where they can then be taken home makes a whole lot more sense. I don't buy the reasoning that the federation military is too full of bad people. We've seen a mix as you'd expect from this generation. Don't think it'd be that hard to find someone who can take these kids to a shelter where they can wait out this conflict with other civilians.
I get they need some excuse to keep Wendy on board and busy, but seems like babysitting is a weak excuse. Regardless Zeheart really needs to think about what he's doing out there. Not exactly having the best of results. Bet he's missing the good old days when he could beat Asemu and play the role of a spy.
