\"Gundam<\/p>\n

This is hands down the most boring episode so far. Maybe next episode will be more exciting when Marina and Setsuna die in a fiery plane crash. I’m so hungry and sleepy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

\"Gundam
\n*insert Power Ranger joke*<\/p>\n

Celestial Being pays a visit to Kataron’s top secret base for no good reason. They could’ve handed Marina over to Shirin in episode 4 when they met on an island for no good reason, but for some reason they really wanted to visit Kataron only to leave without doing anything in particular other than exchange hellos.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nHe forgot to tiptoe<\/p>\n

Oh right. I guess they also wanted to dump Saji on Kataron. I totally forgot about that guy. Saji decides that he doesn’t want to stick around a bunch of underground al-Qaeda losers and escapes from the top secret base by telling the lone guard he has to go pee. Houdini-level brilliance.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nMakes you wonder what’s on the guy’s face<\/p>\n

Of course he gets captured by the Feds and it’s not long before A-LOLS shows up at Kataron’s well-concealed super top secret base. If only they had locked their front door…<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nI wonder what he ate for dinner<\/p>\n

A-LOLS sends in the heavy firepower in the form of killer robot poop. A ton of people die and some things get blown up. I don’t really care. Soma is all emo because people die. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s that time of the month. She’s totally infatuated with Sergei.<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\n“USO DAAAAAAAAA”<\/p>\n

Saji is all emo because he has turned into the very thing he despises (how surprisingly ironic), so he’s well on his way to wearing a mask and becoming the dark sith lord.<\/p>\n

Thoughts<\/h3>\n

I have only one thing I want to talk about. Why is everyone over-reacting to the fact that A-LOLS uses automatons to kill people? Allelujah says it’s because the people who use automatons do not feel the weight of the trigger being pulled and thus do not have to live with the sin of killing with their own hands, but that’s just wtf.<\/p>\n

Someone had to push the button to deploy the killbots, right? Isn’t that pretty much the same as pulling the trigger to fire guided missiles?<\/p>\n

\"Gundam
\nI’m pretty sure they used the same 3D isometric tool Utawarerumono uses<\/p>\n

And would it really have been better if A-LOLS had blown the whole base up with artillery fire or missiles instead of sending lame Tachikoma rip-offs?<\/p>\n

Well I’m going to keep this entry short because my exams just started today so I should really do something about that.<\/p>\n

I wonder if GN particles can induce something similar to the photoelectric effect. Are they massless radiation or particles anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
