Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 04 — Trampling
I almost forgot I was blogging this.
O Captain! My Captain!
I really liked what they did with this guy. Banagher started out hating him, but eventually came to respect him during their trek through the desert.
They had an interesting conversation in the cave during their trip. The gist of it was that the spacenoids and earthlings have different systems born in different places, which will inevitably come into conflict. But this is rather silly.

But with all that said, I still enjoyed this episode. I think it was able to capture much of the basic appeal of the manga: the question of trust. Continue reading Mirai Nikki 08 — Issues of Trust
Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing 07 — It’s a Trap! It’s a Trap!
Fam, Fam, Fam… Seriously? We know that this isn’t going to turn out well. You should listen to Giselle.
That’s right. That’s what tends to happen when you attempt to capture a fleet of eight warships with a single vanship. You get blown to smithereens. Continue reading Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing 07 — It’s a Trap! It’s a Trap!
