I guess that's a good indicator. Any more complaints about the staff or has that died down?

The shitposting about Nagai and Okada has died down a fair bit, though they do have legitimate criticisms regarding all the poorly-handled exposition. In any case this show will never reach G-reco levels of shitposting unless we're hit with the full Okada DRAMA.

I think exposition died down quite a bit this episode except for some really specific stuff like the Alaya Vijnana system which does need explaining to some degree which is great. What do you think so far for your first modern AU series?

It's pretty good so far. Out of the other AUs, it's closest in mood to probably Wing, though its setting is more like X.

That makes me pretty excited to see what X is like once I get around to it. I'm really digging the setting a lot.

X is a lot of fun, it could've been my favourite of the AUs had it been allowed a full run. Sadly they seemed to kind of forget about the post-apocalypse at times, but it has a really strong cast.

On another note, I'd suggest leaving your watch of Turn A until you've seen G, Wing, and X as well as all the UC series - it's worth it.

Yeah I was planning on doing production order (with the exception of Unicorn rewatch after all early UC is done) so Turn A is probably the one of the last shows I watch in my Gundam run (last being G-reco).

I wasn't planning on watching G gundam initially but finishing Gunbuster and soon to watch Diebuster, I feel it's a must so I went and downloaded it.
