So I cracked out my volumes of Endless Waltz to do a little comparing...
It's essentially the same thing that I translated. Heero still has the music box (I'll have to page back to see where it came from). Earlier on, right before the shelter sinks underground, Mariemaia asks Relena how she slept. She has a music box with her that plays "Endless Waltz". Interesting point... when she asks Relena why a place such as that exists in a peaceful world, it's noted prior that the Brussels Presidential residence was a former Romefeller location. And it seems that the music box was... Mariemaia's and nothing more. *shrug*

Well it's actually kind've a relief that it existed before Frozen Teardrop and wasn't just a random edition.
It's something small, but it's the small things that could turn the LN around. Not going to happen sure, but I still want to hope. |

Spoiler for Relena/Heero:
Nothing really that crazy honestly, Heero disappearing like a thief in the night was something that was right out of a fan fic though. Spoiler for Happy:
Lastly however, while non of it's bad it just feels like total filler and shows how badly they really just need to move their asses and get over this glacial like pace they have for the story. |

Wow, so far this is the most sense a FT chapter has made. I'm... intrigued. Let's hope he keeps it this way (I'm still kinda waiting for the "wtf" moment ).
And did I get this right: the music box giveaway to everyone and his grandma happens originally in the EW novel? |

Well to be fair, if it's something that will continue and they plan on adding further then I can kinda understand.
Really it just goes back to the whole pacing thing and the fact that the writer thus far has done a horrible, horrible job balancing, well anything really. |

But who knows, maybe Sumizawa plans to make FT as long as GoL? We'd definitely have a few more years to go then. Another thing are the concealed MS. That's bull right there. I honestly can't see what's taking them so long to reveal them. Seriously. |

Katoki is a pro and does tons of designs and there is zero need to take this long on something that is largely unimportant. The true issue with designs is how long the writer is taking to show them. As it is it's going to do nothing but hurt his story when you give what fans you do have following your story blue balls for over two years only to have your big reveal be largely 13 years old. As it is, there is no fucking excuse to hide Snow White this long, put Wing Gundam and Wing Gundam Zero on the cover of your first two volumes only to Snow White be Wing/Zero with a Funnel/Dragoon System. Oh and yeah, I really do believe that at this point Seven Dwarves will at some point turn out to be some form of Bit/Funnel/Dragoon. There is no way that they used the Princess theme and choose the one that has fully sentient helpers only to have those beings turn out to be simple element guns, beyond that I really doubt they are going to allow Warlock summon 100 Locks/Scythes just to hand the Hero of the whole freaking time line a couple of water pistols and send him on his way. |

And, wow! These people want the equivalent of 3 years worth of government budgeting! They should have gone for more! Really? Heero seemed to have a tendency to just get up and go whenever he felt like it. Also, at lease from Relen'a's point of view, he's there one moment and gone the next! So I can't find this too far-stretched.

Everytime we see this happen we see the Heero who still tries to keep to himself, either at the time he doesn't really know how to handle it or because he is trying to finish a war. To have him do this after "Months of happieness" is more then a little odd and a reversal of character instead of growth. This is one of the reasons it's odd to not go into more detail on this subject. Is it happiness for Relena? Is it actually both of them are happy as the passage implies? Does Heero open up to her at all? If we are to just take him up and bouncing one day and saying jack shit it really begs to question just how realistic is that Heero has had any character growth in that time and just how happy those two actually are. Had Heero jetted right after he woke up and healed, or when Relena was in the shower or some shit then it wouldn't be a problem. It smacks of weird though they decided to pull Kira/Lacus with Heero and Relena only to have Heero pull Midseason Gundam Wing Heero type action. Last edited by FalsePrime; 2012-05-02 at 18:54. |

As it is, so long as they aren't going to end AGE early then there is likely little to worry about Frozen Teardrop or Glory being ended early. Granted neither seem to be doing raving well among fans either so anyone holding out hope for something to be animated when it comes to either is holding out hope for something that will likely never happen. |
