I believe, the MS-04 and EMS-10 are the same, although with an engine like it has, I find it hard to swallow...
The Gundam scene seems like recorded footage from when Amuro disabled the monoeye of that Zaku in like Episode 1 of MSG. The RB-79N will probably make it's appearance in Episode 4 which if I remember correctly the title included sea and Jaburo. The episode's weapon will probably be the QEX-04M Aegir listed at MAHQ. |

Poor Zimmad corporation. The only good general usage MS they ever won a contract on was the Dom. The Gyan and Gogg both got sidelined, and now the Zudah as well.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode. The first is still my favorite because the pre-Gundam battles aren't depicted enough, but anything from a Zeonic viewpoint is always fun. |

However, its just so funny (and strange at the same time) to see a crappy looking suit like the Zaku I beat out the Zudah. Quote:
I don't understand why they didn't just "propogandize" the Dom though, since they just started mass-producing it around the time of Odessa... Heh.

Not to mention, Zeonic was working on the Gelgoog and Action Zaku, both technically superior units, either by cost or armament. The Principalty could have also been looking at the MS-18E Kämpfer in the near future as well... There's just way too many better choices than a deathtrap that can't even use a beam saber. |

I mean, the Gelgoog came out on Dec 8... So it must have been at least a few weeks after the Rick Dom was tested and sent for mass-production, right? Whatever, there are plenty of theories (or facts I don't know about?) around this, so I won't pursue this point any further.

I have seen the first two episodes so far and I must say its quite refreshing to see a Gundam (the term very loosely) series that is almost realistic to actual warfare, right down to battlefield acquisition and sensoring (not like full blown video, but actual radar and IR imaging - I think).
It is also nice to see some good action sequences with the various mecha that everyone considers grunt. The motions of the battle is very believable in comparision to most recent stereotypical Gundam series. (I.E. More mecha action instead of super robotisms) I also like how they have done the episodes so far. It is done with the perspective of an engineering unit and the trials they go through in their live fire testings on operational ground. The characters themselves seem to display a bit of nuiances of their personality here and there. While the animation is not the best 3D there is, ITS A 3D full blown GUNDAM series! Me = happy! I look forward to how this unfolds and the next episodes. |

One nitpick though, third episode shows battles amongst the escape pods, with scenes before showing just a bump causing a pod to explode. Yet the barrage of shells from the balls and mobile suits did not further the chain reaction of exploding pods?

There's a number of somewhat silly things in MS Igloo as far as realism/consistency, although it's still very cool to see. In episode 1, the Salamises (Salamai?) maneuver way too quickly for something of that size and bulk, and it's not in line with every other animation of them. In addition, the Battle of Loum took place amongst the colonies and resulted in the total destruction of Side 5, not in open space.
I'm just being nitpicky though, watching MS Igloo still thrills me |

I can explain Loum. Kinda. And those Salamis Class can be explained as well, especially since they are one of the smallest capital ships in all of Gundam.
For Loum, we saw the battle begin, but did we see it finish? I'd say everything either drifted into Side 5, or the Federation was so routed they fled to Side 5 and into a possible Zeon "trap". The Salamis Class can be explained as either a slingshot maneauver, or that they aren't actually moving as fast as we think they are. Those flying stars that I hate so much can be deceiving. |

As for Loum, what we see in Episode 1 is something along the lines of what you'd expect from people expecting a new age of big guns in space, two lines of warships lining up to duke it out. Sort of a hyper-Napoleonic sea-battle or Jutland writ-large. What we also see is the battle going out of control almost instantly, even before Char's MS squadron enters the fray and redefines space combat forever. Since the idea was to intercept the Federal fleets just outside Loum, it's not hard to imagine that as the battle degraded, it entered into the Side proper, resulting in its destruction. Objects in space are always moving, even if keeping a relative position to one another. If the battle lasted long enough, the fleets might have drifted into Loum without even trying to simply because Loum drifted into them. |

I really liked MS Igloo. The detail, the emotions, Tomino's vision, they all pretty much floored me. The grunt mobile suits actually look rugged and are battle tested, and the episode titles were great homages to the episode itself.
