have you changed your mind now that you've seen ep 39??!?!?!

good episode, but manipulating the storyline for model kit sales is becoming blatant.

I honestly am feeling this to be true as well. Are we offerred any explanation as to how a seperated rogue force (Lacus Faction, Arch Angel & Eternal) managed to come by 2 new Gundams with Beam deflectors, DRAGOON systems and hyper-fast speed? Or how they repaired the ArchAngel? With supplies from? With money from? With engineering support from? And then they have an additon lying around for the Strike Rouge of all things that can let it get in to space just in time to get blown to bits and still save the day?

Perhaps, indestructible Gundams and invincible characters aside, the biggest flaw with this series is, like people are starting to say, the lack of realism and the ridiculous, unexplained Deus Ex Machina advances and implementations of technology and resources.

Who remembers back in good old classic Mobile Suit Gundam when people would shit their pants over 3 or 4 ZAKUS? Now we get a Gundam scrapping 25 units in 2 minutes and incapacitating 3 battle crusiers without getting so much as scratched.

The central drive of the series seems to becoming intense battle scenes, intermittent song-singing, cool new Gundam designs. I believe this focus is killing the show, slowly watering it down to just another shounen action show intent on selling merchandise as its #1 goal.

i agree 100% with you, and the realism of GWing and GSD has been really blown out of proportion, but i guess it's to deal with the influence of this new digital age and hollywood, to a certain degree. UC was built in a universe a long time ago before the japanese becasme influenced with such. now, that sense of realism has degraded... sad to say.

but i will still watch this series, for i love gundam and i love space operas. nonetheless, i'll be loooking foward to gsd 40.

Funny how everyone seems to forget when Amuro Ray ripped 9 Doms apart in a matter of minutes...

It was probably amazing at that time, so for GSD they thought, 'Why not make that no. higher? 9 is not enough. Lets make Kira destroy....say.....(rolls a random no. btw 10-100).....yes! 25! 25 MS should be destroyed by Kira alone! Plus their motherships!' [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

That is exactly why I didn't mention the first MS Gundam in my post. Amuro Ray and the original storyline had its problems, too. But it never reached a level like this...
And yup, I still remember the rest of the UC, and Zakus were a big thing back then. Not something to shrug off.

The real reason I watch this show now is because of Athrun, Yzak, and Dearka. I also want to know what happened to Neo's Girty Lue and his TS-MA4F Exass.

yzak and dearka have not done anything for 39 episodes.. and we've only seen them once or twice. i really dunno what role they might play in the end of this war. girty lue on the otherhand was basically abandoned. nothing else more to talk about it, although neo/mwu might encounter it again when AA goes back into space.

Hmm, judging from how strong DRAGOONS are, why don't they just make a giant sphere with an unpenetrable beam shield, and attach 10000000 DAGOON systems to it. Hell, Kira, Asuran, and Shinn combined won't hold a candle to its might...
