Can anyone care explain the purpose of Saji and Louise in the story... Its like the Director doing it to insert some love comedy into the series or something.
Last is Setsuna come all the way just to see Marina just to ask some question.. He should had ask for some "special reward"(Marina in scantly clothes + Bed = uknowwhat) since for rescue her Sifu..
They're there to portray the story from a "normal" person's point of view. A neutral person as well a civilian.
And as for Setsuna...he's become the emo of the series liow...acting out of bounds and stupidly.
A loli and two fags, sad to say. But i'm at a loss as to how to explain that the two men can emit menstrual coloured GN particles from their respective mecha.
Anyway from ep 17 we now know that CB 1 (Exia and gang) are just a cover up for schloenberg's grand plan which does not involve the eradication of war. But perhaps the eradication of earth and to form "Newtypes" with a new government. The Jupiter mission was a failure and they purposely left behind the purple Haro....but the ppl who found it formed CB 2, the Gundam Throne meisters. But these ppl are also pawns in the end.
How will this turn out that encompasses into season 2, one can only imagine. Perhaps Schloenberg/Char and gang have already formed a newtype/coordinator colony on Jupiter ready to bring Earth to its knees.
That's why grunts such as Norris, Lt Burning, Kelly, and even Apolly are much respected. 360 degree panoramic cockpits are pretty much standard equipment after 0083. Even grunts have them in Gundam Z. Of course, this is UC and not AD hehe...
Yet they are not perfect as shown in GZ when Kamille got the newtype hint from Sarah and shot the Gaplant from beneath it. Yeah, you can't see below your chair, right?
The "best" cockpit is still Zero System as it directly feeds information into the pilot's brain and even predicts the moves and outcomes of the enemy. That is, if you don't get corrupted with fear hence acting like a maniac like how Quatre did.
Eh? From what I recall, not even the Zeta Gundam has a 360 degree view cockpit. You can't see behind you or below your feet.
In fact i don't remmeber any of the gundam shows have this.
The Zeta has it, although it doesn't look like a sphere like the MKII or even the Hizacks. The MKII has the panoramic cockpit, the Zeta can't possibly have something more inferior.
http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/z/msz-006.htm The blind spots are the places where the seat is blocking the view, i.e. beneath the pilot and the place where the seat is attached to the spherical cockpit. Apart from those spots mentioned above, virtually all directions are visible.
Paronamic is not 360. You can call it wide-angle though.
You see straight, you see your left and right. But you can't see the top, below your legs and behind you. Even in GUndam ZZ the gundams still have the linear cockpit view mode so yeah i dun think they have the 360 view like Macross.
From teh cockpit lineart you can clearly see that the ceiling and floors as well as the back do not have screens.
Also in Gundam Zeta era mecha i realise there's the two projectors on both side of the pilot's heads. I think those things project the images onto the cockpit screen, the screen itself doesn't emit anything.
flags already have beam sabers.. graham was using 2 in that fight.
Otherwise why dump them to take the GN particle blade? Hmm...anyway he got a red blade with him, guess now Union will be able to make GN beam blades.
Ep 18, more revealed on Team Trinity that they are just Gundam "Bootlegs". The question now is, was the Haro left on the abandoned ship purposely left there by CB and Veda to be part of the grand scheme of things? Is Veda now useless since its data seems to have been compromised by Nina. (I lol-ed that Triela got a shock that he can't access his lover computer) And there seems to be a super computer that rivals Veda, named Ragna/Lagna, probably a reference to Ragnarok? (groan....again?)

From watching Zeta i sometimes thought Hathaway was an african american.
So the boy who used to run around naked now is a gundam pilot. Lulz. I don't really like the Xi and Penelope either. And I agree on the AoZ designs being ridiculous.
