Yes, you’re reading right. Right after my blog post from earlier, I watched GSD ep 14. And to this guy in the picture below…

PLACENTA!!

MWAHAHAHA XD Ahhhh I’m soooooooooo relieved. I’m so glad that things turned out like this. So, yeah, this ep was made of win and gold, such that I felt like writing again. A lot of questions have been answered in this episode.

Read the full version of this post, there’s a funny guessing game at the end, maybe you can find out?

So, the first thing I noticed was, the new Opening, Pride by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. Teh roxxorz!! Geez, tell you what, before I started watching Gundam SEED (and GSD), I really disliked those songs by T.M.Revolution and HaMC. Now that I associate them to Gundam, it’s endless win. XD

For the opening animation, it’s quite better than the first one. Like the openings from Gundam SEED, the producers reused some passages from the old openings in the new ones albeit in a slightly different order. Not that I wish to see something fresh every new opening, it would still be cool to have some variation like in the ED for instance, a new song, and a new animation. Great! Reminds me of Code Geass actually, the animation order changed quite a lot in those 24 episodes, but with such limited time I guess there wasn’t an other choice than to reuse old clips.

But there is a fatal flaw, which I already found out in the first opening, there are spoilers all over the place. For instance, I now know that Kira and Stellar will most probably become friends (not to say lovers), Waltfeld will have a shiny golden Gundam, and most annoying (in this ep), that the Archangel is flying. As if it wasn’t enough, with Kira, Waltfeld, Murrue and Lacus on board… and Cagalli?!? Now isn’t that a nice SPOILER huh???? -____-
Damn that, I immediately knew what would happen next. (But okay, I did stop the video and rewatched that part – on TV I wouldn’t be able to do that. Still I’m not happy D: )

DSFARGEG :’(

Despite that, I had my share of awesomeness nevertheless. BWAHAHA I still can’t stop laughing at that face! What happened? Kira took the Freedom and literally rescued (awesomely beautiful) Cagalli from that ominous marriage with that *censored* Yuna bastard bohahaha YES YES YESSSSSSS!! That made my day. Kira is my hero! Thank you soooooo much for saving Cagalli T___T

So, Cagalli will now (as shown in the opening) join the Archangel staff. Now, what next? Saa, don’t ask me. Right now, it could be many things. But I’d rather not speculate too much. No, actually I’d prefer watching the next episode right now- But wait, let’s go back to the opening. The Captain of the Archangel, Murrue Ramius… who is she standing in front of and pointing her gun at? Looking closer, it’s someone with blonde hair… and what’s that in the foreground? A mask………??? OHO. She’s quite surprised seeing him. So I guess she seems to know that guy. I’d even go as far as to guess that… it’s her old love, whose pendant she is always wearing. As far as I remember, she said he was a Mobile Suit pilot… uh huh. There will be some Drama coming up I guess.

Okay, I’m gonna finish with this funny screencap from ep 14.

Huh… I remember seeing him in some old mecha anime…

This guy belongs to the Orb army and is giving orders to intercept the unidentified Mobile Suit (the Freedom) that is heading towards the wedding ceremony. Now… who does remember him? The beard, the glasses, that evil attitude?? I’m sure you know him!! Tell me XD
