Ironically, this morning I had very high hopes for Gundam`s full action episode and low ones for Schwarzenmarken. I am glad that it was wrong and it was the opposite. Really loved this episode, yet I will appreciate if someone explain to me why the US/West Germany wanted to get the spotlight rather than 666th squad. Or they just wanted to make sure they survive?

This is the first good episode since SM started, I didn't feel the rush at all - thank god they didn'g cut Neptune -.
Well this time the show focused on the lives of the characters, speciall theo and his half-sister - I always find her annoying - which is a good thing considering how rushed were the first 3 episodes. And finally good fights, the animation looks a bit clunky but its ok for me. |

Good episode. Theo is finally reunited with his sister, but she is a spy. He pretty much has to find a way to connect with her and while also uncovering what she knows.
I can't believe the glasses girl thought that getting a political victory was more important than making sure that their entire squad didn't get wiped out,

Of course the sister is not (closely) related by blood -.-
The brits are the one eating BETAs? Aren't the french the ones that eat everything? The numbers for the ground forces seem a bit wierd. Thousands of tanks, but just 30k infantry? Maybe they have proven to be very ineffective and therefore largely reduced in numbers, but 30k are nothing in a modern war. Pretty good episode. In the end I was a bit confused of what all was going on. The east sent in some ship bombardement while their mechas engaged the betas in close quarter. I assumed a lack of communication capabilities, but then they got a warning about incoming bombardement. Didn't get why the political officer insisted on staying, after all now their artillery took over. The west sent in some artillery recons first then they also just send in the mechas, pretty unbothered with the bombardement from the easts ships. Where those rockets they fired the artillery they scouted for? Last edited by mergele; 2016-01-31 at 22:54. |

Excellent epsiode this time around. Good action, especially the A-6 Intruders. Pity there were no Warthogs present; they have a tenancy to resolve problems rather effectively. Plus, they can also fly.
Overall, though, seeing Commisar-chan break down after being exposed to dangerous levels of FREEDOM was the best part of the episode. Quote:
To wit: in IRL WWII, the Soviets were pretty fixated on being the ones to capture Berlin; Patton was reasonably certain he could have beaten them there, but determined that the extra casualties caused by the much more (recklessly) aggressive tactics needed wasn't worth it. The US/EU forces were probably just doing better because they are better; both in MLA and real life, NATO always had better stuff than the Warsaw Pact, both because of tech superiority and vastly better quality control. Quote:
The British eat fairly normal foods, but their preparation is awful, and the end results are usually unique. Haggis, though Scottish, provides and excellent example. Conversely, the French eat weird shit, but usually manage to make it actually taste good, if in a unique way. Sometimes an acquired taste, usually ostentatious naming. Escargot would be a good example. Generally, I'd imagine that eating BETA would be something that everyone accuses everyone else of. Sort of like having romantic feelings for sheep in the British Empire. Everyone else does it. Quote:
The West probably doesn't deploy lots of infantry for the simple reason that they don't have to. Infantry here will almost always run high casualties, and isn't terribly effective at the best of times; the Western armies simply have objectively better options. I would guess that the majority of the TSFs present are US/EU, as are a significant minority of the tanks, with an overwhelming majority of the infantry being Warsaw Pact. Quote:
I would guess that the warships were firing smart shells with their normal naval rifles; those have been around for a while. The Excalibur shell was an early 90s thing, so I don't think it would be unreasonable for them to have something similar ten years early. That would help explain the spotting team; providing precise targeting information through the AL cloud. |

Excellent episode mixing both a reunion between two characters and some good action. Always enjoyed the strategic anti-BETA operations of Muv-Luv.
I honestly expected someone from squad 666 to die right at the end to the artillery fire. Someone like Jeckeln who probably dreams of politics at night and seems angry most of the time. I wouldn't want her as my commander(who would?)... Thank goodness for Irisdina. |

Wait, the one who ordered the artillery strike is the East Germany geezer on the ship wasn't it? How did Tornadoes from the West come there and according to Katie as artillery recon?
And a training exercise turning suddenly into an operation? What the? |

They were sent to the operation but since they have to travel a certain distance, Irisdina used that time to do training for the new member as well. |

Considering the general ineffectiveness of mere infantry against BETA and the scale of the operation, which is more designed as a raid, 30.000 men is quite a number.

I think I've said this already, but the A-6 intruder is awesome. It has a remarkable similarity to an Imperial Battle Titan. Obviously a lot less pimped out, but still awesome.
EDIT: Also, does the novel mention weather the warships we see killed by laser fire were hit by regular Lux units or the Magnus Lux heavy variant? |
