Watch Thunderbolt you fucking pleb.
>>152467635
New story or just a recap of the OVAs?
>>152467893
New story.
>>152467762
Cute boy got cute suit
>>152467915
Hoping they can keep the quality close to the OVAs
>>152467893
Why would they make a recap of the OVAs when they already released a movie compilation of them?
>>152467689
But does he actually pilot a gendum?
>>152467943
The same team who worked on the first OVA is back.
>>152467635
Is it any good?
>>152467893
>The story of the fifth episode begins on Earth seven months after the One Year War ended. The remnants of the Principality of Zeon reform as the Republic of Zeon and continue to battle. Daryl had piloted the mobile suit Psycho Zaku in the end of the war at the "Thunderbolt Sector," where the Moore Brotherhood's fleet was annihilated. After losing the Psycho Zaku, Daryl descends to Earth and takes up an intelligence position to gain information about the South Seas Alliance, a military group within the Earth Federation. Io, who faced off against Daryl, is selected to pilot the prototype mobile suit Atlas Gundam and heads toward Earth.

He was in SEED and BFT, actually got to pilot a gundam (Cherudim) in the latter one too.
Also, will this get to the embarassingly retarded parts of the manga?

>They changed some of the joints.
Dammit. I actually liked crazy balljoint gundam.
>>152468160
I dunno, the balljoints didn't seem very practical if you're on Earth. The design looks much more practical and supported now.
>>152467762
It is. The remnants group are using them to attack the monk base to try and capture that scientist guy whose name I forget.
>>152468011
Not as good as the first part. A cult of buddhist extremists acquired basically everything they need to build a new psycho zaku during battlefield cleanup, took over a country, and are succeeding from the EF. Cue Zeon and the EFF both trying to get their hands on the p type data because it could potentially revolutionize ms warfare.
>>152468209
Seems more like they simplified it both for the animators and for the plamo developers.
Here's hoping for a manga accurate ver.ka release next Christmas.
>>152468319
I heard a rumor thatClaudia survived he gunshot wound and that the buddhist cult rescues her after finding her drifting in space, so she joins the cult.
Is this true?
>>152468385
Yes.She's most likely been brainwashed, as the cult leader is a former early newtype experiment and basically has newtype swag turned up to 11 which he uses to keep the cult member loyal. Also besides the Atlas Io kicks ass in a GM Kai.
>>152468456
OK two more questions:
1. Has Karla (Daryl's love interest) gotten over her PTSD yet, or has she pretty much gone completely insane?
2. Is Bianca best girl? >>152467646
>>152468588
1.She has been upgraded from "Catatonic" to "Mind of a 5 year old who thinks Darryl is her dad because of his prosthetic hands".
2. That is entirely subjective, so no. Guntank best girl.
>>152467731
Somehow Atlas's proportion is better in the key visual over there. >>152467635
>>152468883
Gundam lineart almost always looks funky compared to the animation. Usually depends on who's drawing it.
>>152469046
>>152467646
TATS
>>152469770
HOLY SHIT
>>152469770
>>152469770
>>152469862
I haven't even caught up to this point and I already love her. Objectively best girl.
>>152467635
YES
YES
YES
>>152467931
Damn straight!
>>152468081
>He was in SEED and BFT
As bit roles.
Will we have more freeform jazz?
I hope this season will have more episodes, and more frequent releases. S1 was way too slow.
>>152472587
It's still a major point in the manga (Io has a jazz session with Bianca unless they cut that), so probably yes.
>>152470118Her status is further bolstered when Claudia goes full retard
>>152472587
Watch the PV famlam
>>152467635
Did December Sky ever come out? I could have sworn I preordered it
Does Thunderbolt link with any other UC? A brief cameo maybe?
>>152473025
You see the battle of A Boa Qu at the end of S1.
It doesn't feel anymore "unfitting" with UC than 0083 or 08th MS Team, so if you're prepared for silly superweapons you'll probably have a good time.
How does Io escape?
>>152473293
>>152473423
>>152473449
The absolute madman
>>152473483
Am I supposed to feel any sympathy for the Zeon in this?
Because I absolutely can't.
>>152473014
Last summer
Is it UC garbage or one of the seperate universes?
>>152468748
Agreed.
>>152473522
>you will never have a tissue husbando
>>152473903
People who like freedom.
>>152473716
Alternate UC universe due to technological differences.
>>152473903
>implying the Federation aren't also fascists
>>152473937
He gets cucked by guncannon jazz piano waifu
>>152473977
>Alternate UC universe due to technological differences
This is such an autistic meme.
>>152473976
If freedom means "gas attack on fellow spacenoids" then you are correct
>>152473997
Federation is just corrupt, Titans are facist and Zeon is almost a teocracy
>>152467743
>Daryl Lorenz as the cripple
>>152473976
>people who like Freedom
>liking Freedom
Freedom a shit
