AGE is still pretty good five episodes in and the annoying rear end in a top hat pilot turned out to not be an annoying rear end in a top hat for the most part.

Yes. Even though he's a boastful moron, he's (so far) turned out to be friendly and have good intentions, so he's not too bad.

Welp... Episode 18 cleared. I didn't think they were gonna kill off Shakti, but i guess they did it. Now she, the dog, Suzy and the baby could all still be alive, but being ejected into the cold vacuum of space without anyone knowing about it seems like a death sentence to me. It's like going overboard on a cruise ship, but worse.

Don't worry I'm not, though I really should have done a Shrike Team kill count though, because they're the ones doing most of the cockpit exploding. Usso will engage the mechs, and then boom, Shrike Team potshot kills the sorry bastard. The count is still at 7!

I first heard of Gundam in a used bookstore when I found an English translated copy of the first Gundam novel. When Gundam came to the states I was pretty excited to see Amuro Rei battle Sha Aznable and the Duchy of Jion.

e: Tomino was in Houston nearly a decade ago and I went to go hear him talk about Gundam. It was really cool but I don't recall most of what was said. He autographed a few people's gunpla, and I had brought the book but he left before I could ask him to sign it.

Another episode down, and we finally figured out who Shakti's mom is. The Queen of Zanscare herself. Oh man. Usso was ready to take some heads, but once again reinforcements showed up before he could add some notches to his kill count. I don't know how to feel about Chronicle, he's not competent enough to be threatening, but he's not incompetent enough to be funny either. For the Char Clone of the series, he really only feels like that because he wears a mask on earth. I think that it may be a stretch to call him a Char.

This Gin Gehannam though... who the hell put him in charge of the League Militiare? He's a body double right? He has to be.

Yeah Chronicle's definitely one of the weaker Chars, along with Mr. Bushido and Zeheart.

Oh man, there have been a few skirmishes this episode, and Usso is back on the board after taking a ten episode hiatus. He shot down three mechs this episode, but one of the pilots ejected before the mech was destroyed. I got to say, Usso is a dirty little cheater, suggesting the use of microwaves to induce nausea. I mean it's clever, but wow. Some weird relationship drama this episode, and Junko's death flag could not be raised any higher at this point. She's probably dead next episode. We'll see if the League can actually take out the Kelas Guilie next episode.

I feel for Chronicle. he's just a guy who's sister became Queen of the Space Fanatics and he'S trying his best to help her and make the best of a bad situation, but goddamn is he not up to the task. It's like if some random schlob got stuck in the Char chair.

This episode was a bloodbath, three mech kills for Usso, and he blew up three support ships as well. I don't know how many kills those count for, but we'll just say two each to make it fair. They didn't look like huge battleships, just the small ones that the Zoloats rode in on. Pretty gutsy strategy to ram their battleship, but it worked like a charm. I'm too used to Legend of the Galactic Heroes where they pulled out axes for close combat battles, but I can admire this one nonetheless. I'm honestly more surprised Junko survived this episode considering how hard they were signaling her death.

I mean, regardless of what happens, AGE will still have ridiculously good character and mecha design.

I'm not a fan of AGE's character design, but then again I love the 80s cheese in ZZ's character design and the 90s animeness of X's character design, so maybe I'm just weird. :shobon:

I didn't mind AGE's character designs at first. I was never a huge fan of them, but they were fine. Problem is though later on it feels like there's a shift in character design, so an early character and a later character look like they belong to two different shows.

I've finished episode 22, and Usso's kill count is finally catching up to the episode count. I have to say I really like the Abigor, was the Abigorbine in Build Fighters based off of it? This was a nice little episode, and this might actually be one of my favourite takes on the sympathetic bad guy archetype, even though he's not really that sympathetic in comparison to other people in his archetype, he's a much better dude than the regular Zanscare Rank and File. Two kills today, and he made the Abigor shoot his own team mate, so that's pretty hardcore.

Usso's Confirmed Kill Count: 20

Yeah the Abigorbine is based on the Abigor. I gotta say I prefer it in purple over the bluish green of the Abigor, but purple is my favorite color so :shrug:

I've gotten up to episode 25 now, and it's looking like Shakti is going to be a permanent fixture on the Zanscare side now that the world knows she's their princess. It's also looking like Katejina is never coming back to the LM, though she wasn't really much a member to begin with. The fake Jin finally outed himself, there is no way that blowhard could possibly lead a guerilla movement this large. Anyway, now Victory is just taunting us with Shrike team death flags, we know three of them died like 12 episodes ago, so you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and you're teased into it, and it doesn't happen. On the kill count side, Usso destroyed another Zoloat, and hit one guy in the face with one of those finger wires. Considering they're strong enough to wrap up grunt suits, I imagine getting hit in the face by one is pretty devastating, so I'm gonna count it as a kill. The Victory also got kicked in the crotch by the Sandhoge, which was pretty freaking funny.

Usso's Confirmed Kill Count: 22

Let's see if he captures Shakti's mother or not, but we'll do that tomorrow.
