  • The breakneck pace of this season starts to remind me of F91 - everything feels like it could have used some extra time.

    Guel on Earth next to a could-be-mentor character? Ain’t no time for that, he’s just teleported back to space.
    Dawn of Fold on the run, the suffering of earthians? Sorry, can’t show that too much, need to rush back to the plot!
    School blown up? No time to explore the lasting effects, need to be back to action!

    It’s such a shame because there’s so much to this setting, I feel this could have been a truly historic Gundam almost on the level of MSG or Seed. If only they had 50 eps…





  • Not sure how much I like the fact they keep pulling things out of thin air with zero foreshadowing. “Oh, there was a super-dangerous kind of Gundam that has been never mentioned before!” feels like the reveal of the Akatsuki in Seed Destiny, and I definitely do not consider that a good thing.

    The whole thing also feels pretty rushed now. Shaddiq stages what is basically an open revolt and then the whole thing is ended by… him getting beat by Guel and put under locks, along with his harem. There really should have been more time spent on that, along with more focus dedicated to the events on Earth.
