Quite a fine episode in my opinion, even if Bill didn't think much of it. For once I was also happy there was a recap in the beginning. I wouldn't have remembered a bunch of people otherwise.

Since I haven't watched any of the old Gundams (yes, none at all), this is all new stuff for me. To the point I got confused by there being both Casval and Char. I thought they are the same person. Real Gundam fans are free to laugh at me. I expect something will happen to the real Char, and Casval will start to use that name for convenience. Another interesting thing was the very beginning of mobile suits.

Artesia's horse was funny. It was like a creature from some Disney cartoon suddenly inserted into a Gundam movie. Poor Artesia, though. I hope she will soon find something she needs to do.
