Yeah but what the fuck was Riddhe trying to do? It seemed like that changed constantly. Pretty much nothing he did made sense. He would blather on about something, then blather on about something else and go in a completely different direction. So since he behaved obnoxiously and nonsensically, and really wasn't likable at all to begin with, not sure why I would care if he got redeemed. Besides, he killed Marida, one of the only likable characters in the show, so screw him. But it still said those people should be given preferential treatment and given prominent positions in the government. It's some kind of divine rule thing, which seems to run counter to what the show had been preaching up to that point. Everyone should be treated equally! Except these guys! They should be the masters of everyone! And why would living in space do that? I mean, I know this is supposed to be sci-fi, but I thought Gundam was usually going for a more hard sci-fi. I seem to recall one of the older series going to the trouble of explaining that mobile suits could be feasible due to some super-light alloy being developed. The space ships, tech, colonies, everything else seems to be fairly realistic and believable. So it seems silly to go to all that trouble to establish and ground the world like that and then PSYCHIC POWERS BECAUSE SPACE! I watched at least parts of the original series and Char's Counterrattack. As I said before, I don't care for Gundam in general because it gets really preachy and the characters tend to be annoying. Banagher is pretty much a crystallization and epitome of these annoying whiny characters that scream shit like WHY CAN'T EVERYONE JUST UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WAAAAAAAHAAHAAAA. So yeah I didn't tend to watch most of the series that would come on. I'd watch for a bit and it'd be annoying and I'd drop them. Only watched a couple episodes of that one on SyFy after I realized it was the same old annoying shit. There was another series that had the cliche annoying plotline of people from opposing sides falling in love. Dropped that one. Only one I watched all the way through back then was G Gundam. For the past several years I've been a completionist so I finished this show even though I didn't like it. Was the same way with IBO but I surprisingly ended up liking that one for the most part. Like I said before, IBO seemed to buck a lot of annoying Gundam tropes. So yeah I haven't watched most of these shows in their entirety to completely see the Newtype thing. Besides, the 100 seconds recap at the beginning said we didn't need to watch the other series to enjoy this one. =3 Fair enough. Would've been better to see it actually happen, though. Again, it would have been nice to actually see it. The show just cuts off right in the middle of things, instead of completing them, much less even giving us a little epilogue "where are they now" sort of thing. Oh well.

Not a Lupin fan?

Wow, way to spoil the whole next episode with that promo, Toonami!

Well, this show was fucking awful. Gundam is notorious for pushing philosophy bullshit on the viewer and preaching but this show just went off the rails and became completely nonsensical. Not to mention most of the characters were annoying. Maybe. I have no idea. Even people I've heard from who liked Gundam, even UC Gundam stuff, can't stand this show. The ratings haven't been stellar, either. For me, all the pretty robot battles won't make up for characters and a story you don't care about. I liked IBO because it seemed to buck the trend of the sissy Gundam main character and shoveling preachy bullshit onto the viewer. It was the only Gundam I liked besides G Gundam. You might like that one. It's over-the-top and fun. For example...

That colony laser should have killed everybody, or at least Riddhe. Banagher and several other "good guys" are annoying as fuck, but we're supposedly supposed to like them. But Riddhe? Are we really supposed to forgive all his bullshit just like that? Please. Nevermind his motivations and most of what he did made no sense, and he wasn't the only one. The box was bullshit. How was anyone supposed to know that Newtypes could come into existence before the fact? And why would anyone get special powers just from living in space? And why should they be given preferential treatment in running the government? That's some kind of divine rule bullshit. What makes you think they were taken into custody? Noa gave them some stern remarks. That's about it. I didn't see anyone get rounded up and hauled off. That was whatever. The Newtype stuff is silly. It was nice to see Marida though again, I guess. Still think her taking forever to die and give a separate parting speech to everyone as a ghost was silly, though. When did that happen? All we saw was him turn back to normal and disable the enemy fleet with some overpowered ability. The show forgot to wrap things up and give some semblance of an epilogue. Either that or the writers just threw their hands up. How much total time have Banagher and Audrey spent together anyway?

And this show was supposed to make us want to watch more?

But this installment didn't even end. We don't know what happened to any of the characters. They found the box and read the contents and the show was just lolthatsit.

Care to summarize? Because people that have seen previous UC stuff have said the same thing. Not sure what you're basing that on. It sounded more to me like he was being insubordinate. And what of Albert? It would have been nice if we saw what happened to the characters after the fact, instead of the show just ending in the middle of it like that. It seriously feels like an episode was dropped or Toonami cut something.

They're pulling the same mistake they did with Attack on Titan and I'm afraid it's going to cost us dearly again. Last week's block bombed badly in the ratings already. It's a real waste. They should've used that slot for a new show instead of just running Jack into the ground.

Oh wow never realized that was him!

Rasengan, really? The move that's supposed to be nearly impossible to learn let alone master, that took Naruto practically a whole arc to learn?

How old is Konohamaru now?

Oh come on you didn't really believe Konohamaru would become Hokage, did you? When was the last time Naruto interacted with Ebisu? Hell when was the last time Ebisu appeared? God damn it gets really obnoxious when everybody starts heaping praise on Naruto.

What a stupid fucking technique. It's not like you can just charge up nature energy on the sidelines and then go into battle. Fight will be over by then. Or you'll be attacked yourself if you're found. The only other option then is to attach a frog to yourself. What the hell kind of nonsensical ability is that Pain?! Yeah go fight Pain, Konohamaru. Ebisu? Man every character you forgot existed is getting a chance to do something by virtue of Pain making an all out assault on the village. Gotta give Kishimoto credit for that, at least.

*sees episode title* FUUUUUUUUUCK. Please let them go out in a blaze of glory! Fucking sexy jutsu. What the hell are you repressing, Kishimoto?

I watched the whole thing... How is that even an ending? It's like the writers said fuck it and got up from their desk in the middle of the episode.

Wait what? That's the ending? HAHAHAHAHAHA

How the hell would they know Newtypes could come into existence? Such a stupid retcon. Obviously artificially written in after the fact. This is besides the fact that people getting psychic powarz because they live in space is inherently dumb. Make a fresh start? Oh fuck you. So they're just going to get away with everything then. What? Angelo is still alive?

Maybe. But Demarco's permanent Gundam slot is no more after how poorly it did in the ratings.

Y'all dun goofed! Oh, this is supposed to be Riddhe's atoning for his sins. Pfffffft. Eh? I thought the beam was coming from Earth. Bullshit those Gundams could stop that. Oh here we go with the Newtype nonsense.

Are we really just welcoming Riddhe back aboard after all his bullshit?

The recaps, the only time the show makes sense. Hey look! We didn't even have to watch the whole show thanks to everything we need to know about Gundam Unicorn in a 100 seconds!

But, there is no other season of THIS Gundam. Probably just mislabeled. I wouldn't read into it.

Don't know but it looked like he was degrading and becoming more skeletal too. Really noticable in the arms and skull.

Maybe. I'm still curious though. But yeah maybe it was just the person that was tending/carrying her?
