After a while an episode I was pretty satisfied with, and don't have much to complain about. Graham was indeed kicking ass in a splendid manner, and it was made even more believable and in a certain manner cool by the fact how he exceeded the acceleration safety limits in order to win. And yet kept his head cool enough to immediately switch to the Gundam blade.

The only complaints I could have about this episode are the AEU forces' nonexisting AA skills (like a couple of dozen mobile suits shooting at a practically stationary object and none scoring a hit - wft?) and the passiveness of the governments when their bases and other installations are being wiped out left and right. They should already declare a state of war and mobilize their full wartime armed forces to counter the threat and minimize losses. The longer they wait, the more resources they will lose before anything can happen.
