Kshatriya FUCK YEAH!
Just look at this beauty!
Here we can see Kshatriya taking her kids for a walk...
Did you know that those are Mega Particle Cannons on her chest? And on the binders? I can't wait to seem them in action - 24 funnels + 12 Mega Particle Cannons? Holy shit...
OK, but seriously, for me, Kshatriya stole the episode. Sure, we had a Unicorn sighting here and there, but most of the episode the RX-0 spent in cage, dreaming of rainbows and what not...
ZzzzzZZZzzrainbowssssZZzzz.. mmmm, it's warm and fuzzy here... zZZzz
But then something horrible happened...
A pony died in a tragic accident...
I shall avenge you, pony!
To be concluded in episode 2!
OK, got a little sidetracked there :D
Back to the episode - I really like the attention to details. Like in one of the screenshots above, you can see a giant explosion that occurred after Kshatriya (FUCK YEAH) shot down a ReZEL with some precise usage of funnels. What I liked here is that shit happens on the battlefield, especially when both sides are fighting in giant robots power by nuclear reactors (or sth similar). So, kids, watch out when fighting in close courters.

Damn, the HG version can't do this ;_; It would be a great addition to the already huge array of poses one can do with the binders. Here's hoping that the MG will be able to do this... (there will be a MG ...right? ;_;)
This post needs more Kshatriya... Really, this episode should be name Day of the UnicornKshatriya...
It's a funny feeling when you are watching the episode, you look at the Kshatriya and think "Oh, right, there's that part there in the model too!" Really cool feeling, as if that was "your" MS :D
I must say that I like Banagher Links (hey, I spelled his name right!), our main protagonist. He's not whiny, not a looser, nor is he the brash type. He can take on Marida, he's no pussy, yet he shows some nice emotion when he begs Audrey to need him. If only he piloted Kshatriya... Marida is also a nice character... because she does pilot Kshatriya! :D Although, Wikipedia spoiled me that she won't be a Kshatriya pilot forever... ;_; Booooo
I'm really looking forward to the next episode coming out in August - we'll get to to see Sinanju! Check out the trailer to see a glimpse of the awesome maneuvers this MS can pull off... The pilot is rightly called the second coming of Char :)
OK, who the hell left the stove on?! You? FUNNELS! Shoot him down!
PS: Kshatriya is slowly coming along. However, yesterday my camera fell on the ground (from a small height, but still) and of course it had to land on the damn lenses... :/ While they miraculously didn't break, one of the inner ones did fall off. So I had to disassemble the whole thing. Then I learned that on of the pegs that kept the lens in place broke of so I had to make a new one from... a gunpla runner :D I'm now in the process of reassembling the whole unit together which is even harder then disassembling. Fortunately, I found a service manual for my camera, so I should have it up and running soon (but not too soon - I have this week packed with work :/). So expect less/no updates this week.
