So, notes from episode 2 as I sit around waiting for Shinsen to release ep 3:
- Gundam 00 = GN Tallgeese. That thing's performance is insane, and I really have to wonder how they're going to even out its performance against the
enemy suits in its debut ep to make later episodes interesting.
- Poor Sumeragi. As a tactician, she's obviously taken CB's collapse badly, probably blaming herself. I'm curious what her full, actual name is.
- Lockon II is similar to his brother, but different in a way. It's something to do with the slight difference in cocky machismo. Kudos to the staff and VA
for making a character with practically the same voice and looks seem unique.
- "I have the advantage in close combat!" Candidate for Most Ironic Last Words Ever from GN-XIII pilot going up against the new King of Blades, 00
- Detonating GN particles launched by missiles with Tieria's cannons? They've learned from the mistakes of season 1.
- Kathy's in A-LAWS, as is Soma, and Andrei definitely has a grudge against his father. But why does Graham act like his wearing that ridiculous mask hides
who he is from anyone?
- The ED gives us some hints about a potential Soma/Allelujah romance, as well as bits about Tieria's past.
- Wang Liu-Mei is playing everyone against everyone, and has Nena as her newest accomplice/servant. Here's hoping to see the Throne Drei II.
- Aeolia Scheonberg's a canny old bastard. Even Ribbons, who seemingly controls Veda, doesn't know everything about his plan.
- Tieria has to remind himself that Lyle isn't the same as the old Lockon. Wow. Let's ramp up that HoYay. Still, everyone's reaction to him was at
least believable if someone who looked and sounded exactly like your dead comrade came along.
- Saji gets information on the Thrones. Will this change his attitude? Hopefully. He's not a stupid kid, so I'd think he'd figure out uselessly
protesting wasn't going to do anything soon and make himself useful to the plot.
- A-LAWS apparently covers up its atrocities, but has over 40,000 deaths in its purges already. No wonder Celestial Being's changed their goals from
"intervene against conflict" to "take down A-LAWS specifically". I admit, I kinda liked Lasse kicking Saji's reasoning in the
proverbial balls with "if we don't fight, people will continue dying".

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
