Anyone else find it annoying that a lot of the battle animations are rehashed? I've seen the same Spaceship blown up in exactly the same way all the way from GS1 to now, at least a dozen times. Not to mention the same underwater gundams blown up by the same shore cannon everytime they go ashore. One smashes a tank, the other gets shot in the chest. lol. There's also the animation of the gouf backing away, firing its finger cannons at its attacker (They used it with isaac this ep =/, that guy deserves better than reused animation.)

One of the main reasons why i was disappointed by the last battle of GS1.

I guess they're just getting lazy now. I can forgive lazy scripting and writing, but not animation, especially when its an anime.

Anyways the episode was......alright, i expected more to happen, although Djibril's death as a throw-away character doesn't surprise me.

More speeches from Cagalli, and i dunno, something about kira this season really bothered me, i was all WHOOOOOT when Kira owned people with freedom when he first came, and i loved him in seed, but now its like he has the personality of an all-knowing, wise piece of wood, where's the emotion? hehe.

Anyways, the destroys are disppointing =/, demoted to cannon fodder troops like the rest of the mobile armour and suits the EA showed off in past eps. They've lost their feeling of dread and awe after Heaven's base. A pity though, Destroy had a great introduction into the series.
