So

Fucking

Pumped

Can't wait to see the way this arc concludes, and the ramifications it will have upon the next arc.

FLCL · 2012-04-22, 00:31

Let's do this!

n0m@n · 2012-04-22, 01:43

So this will be the last episode of this arc?

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Dr. Casey · 2012-04-22, 01:44

Indeed it will, generation 3 starts next week.

GN0010 Nosferatu · 2012-04-22, 02:26

My body is ready.

Dr. Casey · 2012-04-22, 02:27

oh god just 33 minutes oh god oh god I'm so psyched like omg whoa oh god

n0m@n · 2012-04-22, 03:03

It's sad to see this Arc finish. I definitely enjoyed it and liked the characters then the previous arc. Asem and Zehart's rivalry was awesome and good.

n0m@n · 2012-04-22, 03:34

Why Asemu......Why.......
Why did you have to do THAT......

casval cehack · 2012-04-22, 03:47

Wow, a lot was SO sure that Algreus was the spy.

cyberdemon · 2012-04-22, 03:51

Anyone mind explaining exactly what is going on in the episode?

Meltyred · 2012-04-22, 04:01

the prime minister's hairstyle...
Makes him look like a "bug".

RES-01 Perses Gundam · 2012-04-22, 04:14

So, corruption within the EF has reached even the highest level of power. Really, the Federation is just corrupt. Though, what has Flit achieved by purging the government of pro-Vagan and potentially pro-negotiation elements? He just succeeded in ejecting the pro-war faction into dominance and to further intensify the war against the Vagans. I can't help but agree with Olfenoa (even though he was naive) - that the war would never end.

Asemu has finally matured, long overdue.. But him working with his father to execute a rebellion against Olfenoa (which I regard as a coup), I think it's all a matter of coinciding interests. Asemu's really just an Asuno determined to protect his loved ones, but without the thirst for revenge that currently corrupts and dirties Flit. Wonder how Kio would turn out..

Arabesque · 2012-04-22, 04:30

Haha, WOW

Spoiler for early impressions:

maknaedik · 2012-04-22, 04:30

- so Zant is the name of Vegan's new MS? Honestly, I didn't like it based on the preview, but now seeing it in action, made me change my mind. It looks cool specially its emerald like claws and tail.
- I find the wedding of Asemu and Romary funny, I don't know why.
- So Algreus is innocent? So the unexpected happened.
- Good thing that the white Age-2 appeared only once. It's too white for Gundam (except for Unicorn that was really made to be white).
- Giraga will be appearing next ep already? GOOD!
- They have a new Baqto equivalent and we haven't seen a preview of its model yet. I'm talking about the green one in the preview that is.

casval cehack · 2012-04-22, 04:30

So Grodek's war changing intel did come full circle, starting with the unmasking at the highest order and extermination of the vegan spies (not Algreus). Thankfully, Asem had greatly matured in a span of a year and took the central part of his father's operation. That and even securing Romary (with a cool line) for the Asuno's. Well done, Asem.

I didn't catch the name of Metal Zed's high speed unit, but I think the 13+ Adele's deployed for security was lacking in training. The last battle was cool enough to warrant a gunpla though.

Now, the marriage scene montage deserved a full episode, so it does feel a little rushed with seeing the 3rd generation (Defurse?) in the next episode preview.

Is this the Age-2 mass production type?

GN0010 Nosferatu · 2012-04-22, 04:34

I think it might be a new entry into the Adele line. It has the same colors.

Arabesque Licensed Hunter-a-holic Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: United Kingdom Age: 35	Haha, WOW Spoiler for early impressions: -Asem and Romary ... it was cute (and seeing them on their wedding day was really nice), but the lack of time for a proper build up really harmed my caring for the paring. I still think they could have developed it a lot better. -Flit seems to realize that his hatred is causing more harm than good -Imouto shows up with Vargas. Promotion for the BD Limited edition ? -Does Flit even attend his son's wedding? __________________
