[Nova Bovington]

That's was some rough animation right there...

Also waiting on Gaelio to die because he's the only honorable motherfucker in the entire show, well... Besides Crank Zent, but we all know how he ended up.

Spoiler

Don't even get me started on Ein and his continued quest to belittle his master's sacrifice.

 

[duckroll]

WHO IS READY FOR EPISODE 24?!

 

[MechaX]

You think that Mika will just merk Super Ein and it'll be business as usual for Tekkadan, or will Ein actually going through all this shit be worth it?

I do at least hope it's the latter.

 

[jgminto]

That was emotionally exhausting...
Tekkadan is in a brutal state, characters I like were eviscerated and Ein is scary as fuck. I hope

Spoiler

Shino survived since he was still alive when they showed his face but I don't have high hopes...

 

[stryke]

Well that was an awkward start...

Can't wait for Mika to wipe out Ein.

 

[PaulExcellent]

why why why why why why why why why
why do i keep watching this
it hurts

 

[Shun]

Laughter and 4No. RIP

 

[KenjiGlove]

Man, there's so much to say but I'm speechless.

Ein just isn't taking fucking prisoners this time.

GOOD EPISODE AGAIN



---------------

Regardless of everything that happened, we all have to agree that this was pretty "interesting" right?

 

[Chariot]

AH WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Scavenger]

Daaaaamn, that was a great episode.

Spoiler

Lafter and Azee. :-( Looks like Shino got lucky because Robocop Ein's Prime Directive kicked in.

 

[Passive Assassin]

can't be a gundam series without all the killings!

 

[Setsuna]

Too much death for me

 

[duckroll]

Episode 24

Goddamn. That was awesome. Everything good about the series in a single episode. Orga's speech was great. The tactics were great. The fights were great. The animation was mostly great. The only complain I have is who the fuck thought it was a good idea to write it such that Atra has to drive the most important vehicle in the mission. Like seriously. They really don't have anyone else? Nonsense.

Next week is going to be a great finale. I hope Sunrise still has animators left though.

 

[fertygo]

Man, I need that final episode NOW

Go Mika, rekt that goddamn bastard

 

[Lautaro]

NOT THE WAIFUS!!

Ein suddenly becoming interesting by going crazy

Great episode.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I assume Ride survived (since they cut away from him and only showed that one charging random character), why you let him volunteer Takaki, protect him.

Yamagi didnt seem that distressed so maybe Shino survived.

Eugene got a cool entrance though.

Alright episode, Merribitto is swiftly getting to be even more annoying than Kudelia, Kudelua at least found a role, accepted the kids motivations, and at least supports them and helping them find themselves. Merribitto needs to change fast.

 

[Kysen]

Holy shit, main characters going splat left and right. This Gundam series is merciless. Ein is a beast.

 

[Wuiji]

RIP Laffter and Azee :'(

It's ok though, Charcolate Man to the goddamn rescue. He is going to wreck Galli Galli, then head into town and return the Eindroid back down to scrub level.

Charcolate Man has come to laugh at all fools.

 

[Principate]

Yo I totally thought I stopped caring about all these characters and I generally have, but Mikazuki saving the day still got me, that crazy sociopathic and bloodthrusty bastard. Even Choco man came in join in on the action. That combined with Orga's speech got me all hyped.

They're both morally reprehensible, but god damn it is entertaining watching them save the day to continue this wild revenge crazy ride.

 

[duckroll]

This shot really got me good:

 

[Kysen]

What is Orga's brother (cant remember the name) gonna say now that he has lost 2 wives due to carelessness by Orga?

Kira made it through 50 episodes only losing one friend(Flay doesn't count). Maybe Orga should have invested in some plot armor for the Tekkadan crew.

That's because Seed was shiiit, shit!!!

Anyway I'm glad Orphans are finally dying in this series, for a rag tag mercenary group against the most well funded and powerful miltary organisations, they sure were getting off relatively scott free for a long ass time

 

[bloodyroarxx]

That was incredible but I cant handle Azee and Lafter being gone

Is there going to be a second season?

 

[Principate]

Season 2 is almost certainly planned, there's no way they end this, or ever planned on endng this after an election of all things.

 

[Chariot]

Maybe Orga dies and then it ends with Mikazuki nuking the universe.

 

[Principate]

Pretty sure Orga survives this season he's shown smiling (almost villainously) at the end of next episodes preview. I'm guessing he goes full Griffith, which is kind of a meaningless comparison as Mikazuki was the one manipulating him and doing so masterfully, with Choco-man joining in on the fun.

 

[rrvv]

I can see it the ending on next episode thought. After all the original mission of Tekkadan is finished. Obviously there is enough potential for S2 but as far as the current story goes. It pretty much finished

 

[Principate]

Doesn't make any sense storywise though. The goal of Tekkadan, is essentially to live cushy lives. That's not going to happen if one minister manages to win an election in an economic block ultimately controlled by Gjallahorn after they litterally laid siege on a city. It's pretty obvious even after that sucess Gjallahorn will hunt them down and kill them. Unless they fail (unlikely) or the there's a massive timeskip where everything is magically sorted out, it isn't remotely over.

There's a reason why Mikazuki says they must destroy Gjallahorn, because it's not over until that organisation is reformed or destroyed.

 

[Tecl0n]

Yes! Ein bringing justice and calling out Kudelia for her insanity. Poor Gaelio, i don't think he'll stay sane. What if after all this Makanai still doesn't have enough votes to get himself seated?

Episode 24The only complain I have is who the fuck thought it was a good idea to write it such that Atra has to drive the most important vehicle in the mission. Like seriously. They really don't have anyone else? Nonsense.

Her hands were so impossibly tiny in comparison to the steering wheel.

 

[duckroll]

Nah. No one is watching the show to see Tekkadan deliver Kudelia to an election. No one proprosed this show to be about Kudelia being delivered to an election. No one is writing this show to tell a story of Kudelia being delivered to an election. That's just a general objective to frame a part of the story. The series is about Tekkadan and the price that Mika and Orga pay to go to "the place they want to be". This is just the first half of the story.

 

[Principate]

Edit: Bet it's how many die next episode. I'm guessing maybe one slightly major character

 

[Renewed]

cue OPM OK

Spoiler

Didn't expect Eugene and group, I guess the ship is somewhere safe. Sure let's kill em all, not like I was attached to any of them. Don't backpedal, let dead be dead. It just seems like McGillis is gonna use Ein's situation against Gjallahorn so he can reform it. Why did I finally realize that Kimaris has the whole knight thing going on? It must have been the hover mode that looked like horse legs along with the lance and shield.

 

[Luigi87]

Azee and Lafter ;_;

Great episode, but dang people dying left and right.

Next week's ep, I'm way more interested in McGillis vs. Gaelio over Mika vs. Mobile Suit Ein


Also Takaki inheriting Biscuit's hat.

 

[RangerBAD]

Gut wrenching episode at times. I hate Ein about as much as Riddhe or Hathaway at this point. One of the most useless characters that's given too many lives. I suppose he is pretty mentally damaged being a near corpse connected to a mobile suit which is pretty cruel, but supposedly he chose it.

 

[Defuser]

Goddamn, look at the death count for this. I hope Lafter survives because it was off screen according to Gundam logic, Azee looks dead.

 

[Haly]

I can't wait until Mika goes SEEDType and crushes Ein.

 

[RangerBAD]

I can't wait until Mika goes SEEDType and crushes Ein.

He won't go SEED. He'll just use brute force to crush what's left of the guy's body.

 

[Totakeke]

I'm still wondering what is choco's plan here exactly? Have both sides take each other out but not really? Have Gjallahorn lose public support due to use of Alaya-Vijnana and taking an Ahab Reactor into a city center I guess?

 

[duckroll]

Sell model kits.

 

[Principate]

Sell model kits.

This is Chess not checkers.

 

[ActStriker]

lafter no

 

[Baalzebup]

I mean, Ein is kinda cool as a horribly efficient hero-killer, but... Fuck you, Ein. I really hope Lafter didn't die, though I'm pretty sure she did. ;-;

The last two episodes have been something else.

 

[RangerBAD]

lafter no

I feel like she may have lost a limb and isn't dead.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

well, i guess you know the end is near for a gundam series when half the cast bites it one episode

 

[Basileus777]

well, i guess you know the end is near for a gundam series when half the cast bites it one episode

"End?"

 

[RangerBAD]

I'm pretty sure it's getting another season. Unless you really thought the show was about Kudelia getting to Edmonton. Like what is that fat old man up to? What is McGillis' end game play? Lots of questions still.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Half the cast? The death count for named characters was pretty low imo, two and maybe 1 is in ??? territory.

You're not upset about Shino?

 

[Barajas_201]

OMG my heart was pounding when Ein showed up and started to rekt everyone. RIP Lafter and Azee, Shino better make it out alive, he has someone waiting for him and that side plot can't end like this. When Takaki put on Biscuit's hat, perfection, plus the Orga speech, OMG. All the kids dying at the start and Eugene saving the squad, it's amazing the amount of stuff that happened in just one episode. What is McGrillis up to? Mika better make crazy basted Ein pay for what he did to the girls. Best episode yet! If the ending delivers, 10/10 series. Next Sunday is gonna be awesome with both Schwarzesmarken and IBO ending.
