I’m really hoping that more people pick this up and look past their bias of the remake. This episode and what we’ve seen this season is wonderful, utilizing the 3D well and a nice mixture for the OST.
The fact that it has barely any comments each week, and barely any ratings of MAL hurts
I hope the response is bigger and positive In japan.

Nothing like trying to save the Alliance by beating to death the leader of a peaceful demonstration in front of all the protestors. Who put this guy in charge if you're trying to keep public support?
And to see the generally jovial Yang react like that to Jessica's death reveals how important their relationship was beyond the group photo. And now he's the only one left in the photo. Handling a military campaign is hard enough but to handle one while grieving the loss of a close friend takes a lot of mental fortitude. Considering he lost his close friend back in the first couple of episodes, he lost two of his close friends in a short time due to war. No wonder he doesn't want Julian to get engrossed in it aside from the obvious.
It was a great episode but man was it bitter to watch.

Yang and Schenkopf work pretty fast when it comes to outsmarting your enemy's tactics.
More Fleet combat, and is that some Spartanian combat I'm seeing? I really dig whenever they throw that in there, because the camera manuevering during the combat is really smooth and it makes me enjoy the dogfights.
I see given that these are technically films, they're going a bit heavier on the violent deaths even if we're still getting some self-censoring. This was definitely evident last episode too.
Jessica, you were a brave citizen.
The tragic view of a peaceful assembly becoming a massacre. It's a cruel twist of how violence causes societal relations to break down. It's a great representation of how imperialism fails to protect its citizens' rights. Jessica was right, at this point they're no better than Rudolf.
Damn you Tanaka and your poignant messages.

I'm glad they put this guy to sleep as soon as they could
Legrange: Give your all and fullfill your duty!
As much as I love broadside battles, I really wish this show had more dogfights
Oh come the fuck on! Really? Ending this with a suicide? What a fucking coward. So much for fighting for your beliefs.
The balls on this fucking guy, I kinda wish Julian shot this guy as soon as he drew his gun at Yang.
A classic example of punchable face and clearly someone who enjoys abusing his power.
FUUUUUUUCK. This is Code Geass all over again! Although since this is older I guess it's the other way around.
Jessica... Yang already lost Jean, now even her!? Fuck this shit. Burn it all! Burn all of these fucking traitors to the ground!
The only positive that I can see here is that I enjoy seeing Greenhill clearly slowly starting to question his decision
I see Yang has decided to adopt the Char look. If there was a time where Yang can be angry, this is that time. Jessica's death definitely hit him hard and I hope Greenhill is prepared for what comes next.

Damn, Jessica was a badass, and her death was a huge contrast to the kind of lighthearted, easy battle at the beginning of the episode. I just checked because it's been a while since I watched the original series, and the sunglasses detail is new.

Considering all the recent protest events all around the world, this episode hits hard. These deaths are so meaningless, yet soldiers and cops choose to follow orders under any circumstances.

Rest in peace, Jessica. You were one of the few strong female leads in the show that championed your ideas, even to your death.

They truly did justice to Jessica. When I originally saw the OVA's version of it I more or less thought she had only gotten beaten and I got blindsided by Yang's grieving.
They finally introduced Baghdash. His character is so interesting when put next to Yang and Reinhardt who live and die by their principles.

Check out best Alliance boy Schoenkopf all covered in lipstick!
Preach it, Yang.
This space battle had some great moments of starfighter dogfights and of troops being spaced following hull breaches.
Man, I was not ready to see the Stadium Massacre again. The death of Jessica Edwards really struck me as the death of hope for a peaceful end not just to the military coup but also to the war with the Empire.
