And well, this was way better than this Reco shit. As it seems to be tradition in Gundam I as the viewer am thrown into the cold water and people talk about stuff I don’t understand, but hey… tanks, explosions, excitement.

They didn’t drop me as hard as Reco did, only a few sentences here and there, but I still feel like this show needed 5 minutes of narrated text to begin with. Which would be boring as hell, but at least I wouldn’t feel like I don’t understand stuff. And I’m pretty sure this will never lead to an “Oh, wait that’s what they were talking about in the last episode”-moment because I won’t remember.

The characters are… nice I guess, didn’t had enough time to form an opinion yet. The action was decent, nothing spectacular; I guess that starts when we see the Gundam in action. Which probably won’t happen for another three episodes or so since I’m sure after beating the one bad guy at the end of this episode the other two will retreat within the first minute of the next episode and that’s it.

Guess I continue watching.

:/ tbh, what little was shown of the shirtless thing didn't even look like fan-service to begin with. so imo, anyone thinking it could have been used for that probably was looking too deep into it.

Maybe the Robot Damashii if I like the series enough. I'm not a builder ;)

I dunno, the whole MGSV Quiet controversy came to mind and I was wondering if people were gonna rail IBO for that for "unnecessary sex appeal".

it's not really a spear so much as it is a mace.

and I like it. I want more heavy metal objects crushing mobile suits.

Does raise the question, why would the higher ups just leave the Barbatos behind? Their forces are clearly made mostly of Workers, the Barbatos might be incomplete and given how the pilot looked at the end it might not even be safe, but it must have been expensive as hell.

More than likely the main characters just kept a high maintenance on Barbatos since knowing they might use the MS one day. Which then leads into as why the higher ups didn't give a rats crap about a MS they thought that just acted as a fancy battery, and was highly degraded.

I don't understand a substantial part of the episode, but I gathered that Barbatos was kept as a secret by the Third Group. :lol I am very possibly wrong.
