Little confused why people liked the prologue. They tried to jam so much story in this prologue that it's exhausting trying to understand what is happening. And the motivation for the main evil guy to kill everyone in that base doesn't seem to be explained well at all. It's a real shame that this is some people's first Gundam show because it really doesn't seem on the same level as most other Gundam shows.

Oh wow! What a start! The animations + art is absolutely insane!
Unfortunately, it was pretty obvious that Eri's parents were going to die, and that she would lead the Gundam in the future! Such a great start!

Another mech with tons of techno babble & politics rushed in. It doesn't clearly setup the factions to why they're fighting, why a development collab turned into war, who're the lab sponsors, why spacians vs earthlings etc.
So gundam neurolink but high pilot risk & meant for space disability, interesting concepts here. Wonder how it differs from IBO spine system.
1,2,3 pretty candles why that totally defines a murder loli. 2D space fight was very well animated tho with cool drones use. emp is pretty cheese but ok. That dad u had one job to selfdestruct but failed so bad lol. Mr. eyebrows of Cathedra (lol really?) has no logic at all, there's better ways to just declare war, or he got something personal against drones.

Its a prologue after all. If everything was explained already, whats the show going to explain? Its better to raise a lot of questions rather then spoiling everything already.
In terms of production quality this episode was one of the best episodes of anime ive seen. As a jp streamer (Mafia Kajita) I watched commented: ''is this really show quality? Its practically movie at this point'' so personally not surprised people enjoyed it. It did a pretty great job at hooking people, imo.

We will see how well your "it really doesn't seem on the same level as most other Gundam shows." ages.

I'm surprised people were pretty mixed on this, that was honestly one of the best intro episodes I've seen. The animation and score were perfect and it was pretty emotional.

this was great! To think I nearly missed this.. really feels like classic gundam ala Thunderbolt.

If this was the prologue I wonder when the show will regain this darker atmosphere

Great episode. I was wanting to watch some mecha show, watched the first episode of Darling in the FRANXX, but I liked this so much more. Time for my first Gundam!

Made me emotional, brought back the political drama mixed in with action that i have been craving since that only UC shows can sustain.

Now that the dub has finally come out, I'm finally ready to start watching this.

These suits work a bit different than previous ones, really becoming one with the owner, and they appear dangerous in a way.

I cried when Ericht's father died. That child has been shoved into a lot of things that a child should not have to endure, and she doesn't even know it yet. But, this is Gundam, and that's to be expected.

This is pretty good. Too bad the follow-up is completely different in mood.

This is my first review to mark my journey into the Gundam Universe.

Holy fucking shit this is dark. Child soldier, grim birthday, deadly space life support. Tears welled up in my eyes near the end of this.

I was recently at the Moving Gundam exhibit in Japan, so I thought I should give this series a try, and damn did I miss out starting now.

I am pumped to finally watch The Witch from Mercury! That prologue was insanely strong - love the setup and characters. The way that the Gundams work in this reminds me a bit of the tragic harshness of IBO. It's interesting that they have to do with medical care for space populations. Really loving the colors and mech designs!
