Yup, indeed. The Throne Gundam Meisers are a bunch of inexperienced idiots, even more emotionally unstable than the original four Gundam Meisters. Both Michael and Nena have no sense of subtlety, and I especially dislike Michael. Ah well, at least they’re good for some development for the main cast. This episode reminded me again of why Tieria turned into my favourite characters for this series. He’s the only one who really tries to use his head. Setsuna is also turning more likable with every episode now that he too became sceptical of his mission.
Also, I don’t understand one thing… how did the Throne Gundam Meisers know that the professor finally found out their plans? Okay, I can understand the superpowerful Gundams. This episode also gave a pretty good reason for why everything took 200 years to finally get started, because the Gundams could only be created on Jupiter. But the l33t hax0rz skills of these people are starting to get a bit ridiculous. There’d better be a very good explanation, because you don’t just “hack” yourself into a random government institution and get away with it. Heck, if things go wrong, you can easily be traced back by the right expert.
And regarding Jupiter, it finally seems that the enemy has obtained some information about the Gundams in an abandoned space-station near Jupiter. Lockon’s flying ball also mistook the Throne Gundam’s flying ball for his brother, while it seems that this brother was actually left behind on the Jupiter Space-station. I do wonder, though, how did these people find out about Jupiter, six years before everyone else?
And on a completely unrelated note: Saji has to say goodbye to Louise, who heads off to Spain. And still there is no new connection whatsoever between the guy and the Gundams…
Saji gonna be the new protagonist in 2nd season. It’s just Sunrise can’t do the same mistake with Shinn in GSD, so they give this one a story for starters… at least to have room for emphaty when he (Saji) becomes a pilot
maybe 2nd season starts like “7 years after… *insert amuro ray voice*”
or not…
hahah and i thought SEIJI MIZUSHIMA is the one on the helm. It’s like code geass script all over again.
is that for real or just an opinion? if it’s real, i think it’ll definitely ruin the show. who wants to watch another ‘that’; pacifist civilian, experienced a traumatize event, turn out to be a hyper-skilled pilot in short period, then have mix emotion about fighting/killing, turn emo, cry, fight, cry while fighting, then ends the war himself with an unbeatable gundam. sigh… so cliche. can’t he be a politician instead of a pilot.
@nahrub
just an opinion of course ^^; why do I find SaiMono more intense than this… that’s weird, or not? lol
Those scriptwriters have to go watch some Puccini’s classics; at least to let them know what a true tragedia is
psgel, if you’re talking about that sequence in the beginning where those two men find evil Haro in the abandoned space station, that was supposed to be eighty years ago. Those guys could be the origin of the Trinity siblings.
Michael is tolerable if compare to Nena.
I don’t need the evil purple Haro.
I’m so glad I didn’t have to see someone go “LAWL!!! NENA KISSED SETSUNA, THEY ARE CANON NOW!!!!!” or “DIE SETSUNA YOU SHOVED AWAY THE HOTTEST/CUTEST GIRL IN 00, ARE YOU GAY? SHE FRIGGIN KISSED YOU!!!”
Ugh…. those comments are so friggin annoying and what I find even more strange is the same people disregarding any connection Setsuna has with Marina are the ones going “Lockon and Felt are going to end up together at the end of the series”. Uh…. if you find it far-fetched that Marina is 24 and Setsuna is 16…. how the hell are you going to support Lockon (24) and Felt (14) as a couple?
Idiots…. oh yes and I don’t like Nena, she seems annoying already and the peace sign has become a death weapon every time she uses it. Hope the Trini-Sibs all die at the end of the series. =)
You guys might wanna see Gundam 00 episode 18. You’ll be VERY VERY VERY shocked at what happens to Louise and…most importantly, what Nena does. Seriously.
