I mean, I know Kudelia is sheltered, but this seems over the top. How does a girl her age not know anything about dating and boys? She's not even royalty like chocolate man and Golly-golly.

Damn barely any talk tonight. At this point, it's barely going to get to page 186 tonight.
This could easily be the least active I've seen the thread during a marathon.

I like how these two grown men have such a huge grudge on CHILD SOLDIERS FORCED TO BECOME SOLDIERS AGAINST THEIR WILL!

i still can't believe nobody looked at the script & asked "ya know, guys, for a serious space political show, maybe we should change the name of this "dort" place, it feels out of place"
OMG, THEY THOUGHT THIS OTHER WOMAN WAS KUDELIA?!?! SO THEY MADE THE MISTAKE TWICE?!?!

So next were gonna get 5cm Per Second right?
To leave everyone emotionally wrecked!
It's daylight saving, so you should really just ignore the time since that's technically wrong anyway.
It's more accurately "after One Piece."
I think technically, it starts when daylight savings starts, so when "3 a.m." hits, it'll roll back to 2 a.m.
oh god no, once was enough. I don't need to watch it again to remember how cruel love can be.So next were gonna get 5cm Per Second right?To leave everyone emotionally wrecked!
...........also, I'm out. Time to give Drakengard 3 a try.
EA desperate to sacrifice anything else to eat COD's lunch?
Sad part is, that could've happened if EA's hubris wasn't so blatant.

Well, you must be pretty smart too, Biscuit. You're basically running a company.
I think I said this earlier but I'm going to take this opportunity to state some thoughts again.
I was expecting something like IBO episode 19 for a long time. Ein jumps back into the story to get revenge, we see a snippet of Mika/Orga's meeting as children, a conflict between Tekkaden and Gjallerhorn as they get to earth. It took while to happen but I think it was a pretty good episode.
I feel like the sheer length of Gundam (50ish episodes) does the show a disservice. The three "human debris" episodes almost felt like filler as Akihiro's character development kinda came and went in those episodes. I also argued in the podcast that maybe there are too many protagonist characters anyway, and the show might be better if there was a tighter cast rather than the kinda sprawling one we have. Did we really need both Eugune AND Akihiro AND that brown-haired guy who name I never remember? Do we need those three (or more?) Turban girls?
The next 4-5 episodes we obviously meant to build Kudelia as a character, and honestly, completely failed. I don't understand:
The only good thing about these episodes is that Atra improved a bunch, and Biscuit got a tiny bit of spotlight.
During this time, the Ein subplot weirdly disappeared and resurfaced, and the pacing just feels off. I still don't know why Gjallerhorn is supposedly the villain or what they are trying to do. (Yes they sabotaged a rally, so they clearly aren't the bastion of PMCs, but we need more than that).

1.) Why Kudelia feels obligated to be the face of a revolution in the first place.
2.) What people are Mars and DORT want to rebel against in the first place.
3.) Why rebels look up to Kudelia and think 'yeah, this person is qualified to be our leader'.

So I watched the dub of episode two since I missed it last week.
The dub is really committed to being British...

"Yeah! Let's take on an entire army with like 30 guys!" Maybe Dort deserves to be subjugated. Time for more Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
Moments before their demise the car's dashboard broke open with a loaf of sourdough in the shape of a horse's head popping out.
Indeed.
Do you even bark bro?

Don't tell me what to do.
1. Her whole point the entire series is that she wanted to fight for better conditions for people, right? I think it started off as an innocent desire, but from the birth of the series, people wanted to kill her for it... it's escalating around her.
2. Bad working conditions, being mistreated,
3. Didn't we hear early on, after they failed to assassinate Kudelia, that they'd use her in another way? They've been over-inflating her important and clout, using her to ignorantly lead needy people into slaughter. A figurehead that lined their targets up for easy shooting.
The twist for them is that she's not cracking over being in the middle of a murdered rally, she jumps right back and tries to use it to strengthen her resolve.
