Figured I might as well create a thread for the latest episode.

What do you guys think are the odds of season 3 happening? People seem to think it might happen but I just don't see what they would do with all that runtime, it very much feels like we are building up to a conclusive finale.

I was thinking we may get a third season until I watched this episode. It looks like everything will get wrapped up by episode 24. Maybe a movie if they drop some big new reveal in the last episode.

Same, pretty sure everything is getting wrapped up, still I can't help but feel like that's a lot of stuff to wrap up that fast, hope it's a satisfying conclusion.

Maybe a sequel series with ChuChu as the protagonist.

Not much to say about this one since it's mostly dedicated to setting up the finale, but at least Petra's still alive.

Hopefully Lauda doesn't get himself killed in the Schwarzette, though with the show's track record so far no couples are safe.

Definitely more of a downtime episode, was sorely needed for the characters to catch their breath and set up the final act. The Quiet Zero reveal was pretty crazy, Prospera continues to be insane in the most enjoyable way.

@WhiskyTangoFoxtrot I want to see what Lauda's going to do. According to Gundam.Info he and Guel have different mothers. I've been wondering about Guel's mother since parents play a huge role in this series. If we get another season maybe we'll learn about her.

I hope Elan 5 and the Earth House kids live. I assume we'll learn more about actual Elan next season, if there is one.

I don't want the show to drag on, but there's so much more I want to know!

Not sure how much I like the fact they keep pulling things out of thin air with zero foreshadowing. "Oh, there was a super-dangerous kind of Gundam that has been never mentioned before!" feels like the reveal of the Akatsuki in Seed Destiny, and I definitely do not consider that a good thing.

The whole thing also feels pretty rushed now. Shaddiq stages what is basically an open revolt and then the whole thing is ended by... him getting beat by Guel and put under locks, along with his harem. There really should have been more time spent on that, along with more focus dedicated to the events on Earth.

I haven't watched this week's episode yet, but thanks for making the thread! Lemmy is still lacking some automod/scheduled thread features, so things like this will be manual for a while.

No problem. I just figured I'd do my part to help build the federated Gundam community. 'Cause as all Gundam fans know, the Federation is always right.
