I just realized Izuru's call sign Red 5 is the same as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.

LOL I picked up on that the very first time.

MeisterBabylon · 2013-05-06, 09:13

Wasn't it Rogue 5 instead?

Red 5 is something of an inside joke in Star Wars. Not just Luke but Anikan and Chewbacca have been assigned it at various times.

Wow, I never thought that Red 5 hold such deeper (joke) meaning

. Not really Star Wars savvy but at least I like the original trilogy and Vader (anything about the prequels should be drown into the deepest trench).

The overall production values of this show are good and the plot so far of a last defense of Earth seems to be decent, but man the main cast (especially Tamaki) and their interactions are just dragging it down at this point for me. I don't understand why every single interaction between them (save for the one Kei and Toshi had last week that felt like the first real and not awkwardly comedic interaction between any of the core cast to date) seems to need to be the most predictable and typically goofy comedic sketch or some form of abstract moralizing. I'd almost call the cast and their interactions and dialogues too cliche and predictable at this point and kind of hard to get behind. Mundane might be a better way of putting it though.

What sucks too is the cast's IMO mundane interactions so far seem to be taking up a majority of the focus of the show and it's just not interesting enough for me now, especially since I find them kind of continually annoying save maybe for Kei. I'm sort of not surprised given that the series composer Reiko Yoshida is kind of becoming infamous to me for scripts that focus on a lot of IMO very mundane typical (for anime) day to day interactions between a core cast of 4-5 characters that I just rarely find funny or fascinating.

Probably giving this a couple more episodes to pick up character development wise because to borrow a cliche I really want to like it as a fan of mecha, but not if it's just going to revolve mostly around the cast being vaguely retarded for the rest of the series.

Personaly I find VERY funny and fascinating, they are first normal teenagers piloting mecha I know about, who actualy act accordingly. There ia only one thig I dislike here right now :Lacus

~~DuelGundam2099~~ · 2013-05-07, 21:58

I liked the prequels just as much as the original trilogy.

Anyone else think that the porn viewing scene will amount to something later?

They don't seem any different to me.

Renegade334 · 2013-05-08, 10:57

They have upgraded boosters/vernier thrusters (see Blue One's shoulder pauldrons/thruster blocks) and increased weaponry (glaringly obvious on Gold Four). The rest is merely cosmetic and pretty much unnoticeable.

Agreed, it just looks as if they simply added a few bits and pieces to the original designs.

Tenzen12 · 2013-05-08, 18:47

It's not like mechas are upgraded just to look cooler...

Irenesharda · 2013-05-08, 20:30

That's the thing, they don't look cooler, they look the same. This is supposed to be their armored form but where is the armor? Did they just make their outer shells harder and add a few pieces?

Tenzen12 · 2013-05-08, 20:33

Seems exactly like that. Functionality over style, I approve.

RRW · 2013-05-08, 21:43

it just expansion pack guys. just adding more missile and armor

Quite a melancholic episode, full of nostalgia for the Rabbits who are finally leaving the nest for full active service.

Spoiler for ep 6:

~~DuelGundam2099~~ · 2013-05-09, 11:34

That was one boring episode, at least next episode we'll finally meet the Wulgaru which only took the first quarter of the series to do.

And no, Gundamx, we don't know for sure. Plus when are people going to figure out her real name is Theoria? Can we stop calling her Lacus? Please?

Key Board · 2013-05-09, 12:51

so the enemy are RPG characters but in space?

Renegade334 Sleepy Lurker Graphic Designer Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Nun'yabiznehz Age: 38	Ep.06, first half: Spoiler: - Episode starts with meeting between GDF higher-ups and Commander Simon - Izuru meets with Randy, who is looking at up-armored ASHMBs in the hangar and...gives Izuru another data stick before they part ways - Rabbits return to Academy; they immediately get mocked by their classmates (even the underclasswoman delivering them a message gives them a backhanded compliment) - Rabbits start packing their effects in the academy dorm, as they're close to graduating - Flashback to their past in the academy and the formation of Team Rabbits (insert melancholic song here) - Team Rabbits gathers as they spend their last day in the academy, reminiscing and visiting their former haunts Second half: Spoiler: - Suzukaze gives report to Simon about Team Rabbits and Juria System - Next day, the upgraded Rabbits ASHMBs arrive on the campus; looks like Rabbits will perform an aerial demonstration, showing off their machines, above the academy with the student body in attendance - Asagi still has problems with his stomach's acidity, it seems - Tamaki makes a low-altitude pass, blowing up windows as she passes...and inadvertently gives the students slight fanservice as the massive gust of wind causes Suzukaze's skirt to lift a bit (popular, isn't she?) - Student body response to the demonstration is positive despite the last blunder (though...this might actually have more to do with Suzukaze's skirt than the aerobatics...) - Rabbits attend a "private" graduation ceremony (only officials in attendance); they are awarded medals (instead of certificates, I guess). Asagi trips on the stairs. - Rabbits finally leave the campus with their former classmates standing at attention as their bus leaves the grounds - Cut to space; first sighting of the Wulgaru high council, the big boss and his flunkies Next ep: Spoiler: - Back in space - More comedy - Incompetent higher-up seems to be back - More of the Wulgaru inner circle. Quite a melancholic episode, full of nostalgia for the Rabbits who are finally leaving the nest for full active service. __________________ << -- Click to enter my (dead) GFX thread.
