Yeah. the song and montage is pretty heavy handed for a mecha anime that's only 19 ep. so far. I am also convinced that Louise will last at least for quite a while yet. I'm betting that the OP is spoiling a lot of things. I may even go so far as to suggest that Louise will get a replacement hand and have a better than 50% chance to live happily ever after with old Saji. I am starting to like the young pair. But I can do without that 2nd rated tear-jerking montage. It's not even fashionable to do those in chick flicks now, it's "Epic Movie" territory. > indicates that the importance of the Trial system is that it can control any > mobile suit connected to Veda. But he got upset when Nadleeh was revealed The Nyrono sub says "When linked with Veda, this suit has an absolute sphere of influence." which seems to emphasis the "sphere of influence" power is available when Nadleeh is linked with Veda, but it doesn't say only suits linked to Veda are affected. > Corner's up to something.

A few minutes before that, it was Corner's "assistant" smile after the line "I'll switch to Phase III" was spoken. Corner's mouth wasn't moving when that line was spoken, so it seems to coming from his assistant. On surface Corners pushes the buttons, but his assistant is the real boss? But that scene was a little odd, so I rewatched it a few times. It seems a bit pointed that we never _see_ his assistant speaks. Audio isn't a strong point of anime, and I don't have sharp ears, but I swear the line "I'll switch to Phase III" was spatially undefined. Is that voice disembodied? Could the assistant be non-human or some kind of puppet? That first person pronoun is the first time ever I hear someone from CB taking personally responsibility for a decision. Anyway I am betting the source of that voice is someone or something important. A very exciting episode, partly because we have finally a fight scene that lasted more than 60 seconds. I really like the fact that the story remains unpredictable. But overall, it's the same feeling, I keep looking forward to see where things are going, but I keep getting disappointed with the episodes that got delivered. This time there isn't too much to complain about, but the Louise farewell scene was so heavy-handed it's turning into a parody. And the drawn-out Lockon vs. Setsuna scene was also over melodramatic... I suppose anime can't get away without some kind of _Titanic_ proclamation. I just wish they can drop the babbling earlier and get into some hot man-on-man action already. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
