Lunamaria Hawke: With Captain Gladys’ permission, Shinn evacuates the pilot of Gaia to Minerva for medical treatment even though Stellar is an enemy combatant. Do not underestimate the power of raging teenage hormones. And now because of what I learnt from following Athrun around, I’m actually avoiding him. Do GUNDAM pilots all have to suffer some kind of emotional trauma? In other news, a shuttle is hijacked by a “Lacus imposter” and escapes into space with the help of Freedom.







Zyl: Whassup with Sunrise and nekkid characters? And what’s with the Shinn-Athrun back-to-back thing? Are they being paired up? Haha! Or is it just a showcase of how their interactions will be important to this arc of the story?

Extrapolating from the Kira-Lacus relationship (and to a more limited extent, for the Athrun-Cagalli relationship), the main male character needs a lead female character to guide and motivate/manipulate him. That was also the crux of the Kira-Fllay relationship. [MASSIVE SPOILER] And if we transplant the parallels from Kira to Shinn who is, afterall, GSD’s main character… and given what we know happens in ep 32-33, then it’s Stellar and then…?[END SPOILER]





Zyl: I am completely hopeless when it comes to telling the various GUNDAM units apart. Unless they have very different colours. There’s plenty of times when I still get Impulse and Freedom confused. And it mainly boils to down to the fact that I am less interested in GUNDAM design than Stripey’s gf. Who turns out to be a pretty good Gundam model builder. This new OP worries me mainly because it hints at a Shinn-Lunamaria pairing which I am completely opposed to. Argh. (>_<)
