I really really want Athrun's car. lol Now back to my view on the ep. Currently only have seen raw and only took in alil.

Another character development and plot mover. We get to see some old friends return in this ep. I loved the communication between Ramius and the Minerva Captain. It was funny. Athrun got a sweet ride and its like Orb is the big SEED hangout. I guess its where everyone retires after a major gundam series. Its kinda a nice time for ppl to relax while the mess of the Junius 7 incident is being addressed. Things aren't looking good at all. We get to see Kira and Athrun together. Purple haired guy is abit funny and Athrun's dislike for him is apparent easily. Anyone like the ring scene near the end? And then not to mention the crying scene which I know ppl are gonna say Shinn is a cry baby about. Him and Kira meet for the first time. Its not the first meeting everyone expected where they would be fighting which is a relief. Now when Shinn does find out it will be more of character development for him.

Next episode is gonna be packed with action from the looks as what appears to be the first battles of the new war. And if I'm not mistaken the Alliances new Windam will make its first appearances. Hurray for odd mecha designs.
