Sanders blushed...

Nothing else too special for me here and I don't particularly care for Michel.

Practically treat for the eyes.

Michel should end up with Sanders considering what happened to his GF. So Kiki will be mine.

Hearing 'Ten Years After' at the end sure brings back memories.

Now only if they also had the OP or some parachuting Gundams, then my day would be complete. ^_^

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Yeah. The show honestly deserves 20-50 episodes so it could flesh out the war, the team and the romance more.

A little bonus after finishing the series, I guess.

For a 7 min OVA this was great - 2013 graphics but same drawing style; new and old soundtrack; interesting battle and the same character personalities. 9/10 from me.

Wished it was at least 15 minutes oh well still enjoyable. I loved that the animation was on par with Gundam Unicorn.

Shame there won't ever be a dub, i kept hearing Steve Staley and Steve Kramer the whole time.

Wow 14 years later since 08th MS ended and they STILL managed to get the same voice actors that did it 14 years ago!!

Shiro is high pitch as ever, Michel sounds pretty much the same wimp, Sanders is old as hell.

One of the many reasons why i always prefer watching it in its original Japanese language :)

Shame Eledore wasn't here, Karen didn't even talk so i'm guessing both seiyuus were busy.

Since i just finished the series a few minutes ago. It was kinda weird seeing the art very different. No longer cell animation(which they stop doing since 90s i remember). and it's now in widescreen 2D animation style.

Shiro's hair color is much more brighter and you can see his green hair more. Battles are much more intense and you might see on the main series. Even the sound effects were replaced from Gundam Wing?! O__o

Anyways it was mainly one of the many missions they encountered since Shiro Amada is supposed to be retired and living with Aina right now.

I'll watch Miller's report when i rewatched the whole UC era series along with the trilogy movies and stardust movie.

I'll give this 8/10 just like the same from the main series.

8th MS Team once again shows why it has the best Gundam battles. This special showed how much of a quality advantage the late stage Federation equipment was compared to what the Zeon could field. It was also cool to see the Zeon pilot recognize Shiro as an ace, because I think he's the first enemy to do so.

Pretty intense action for this quite short special! Really liked it as well, especially loved that they managed to some of the original cast voicing it as well that the art was still spot on as it was originally!

Al in all a good special!

You know what? When Shiro pierced that Zaku with his sword, I just thought, what happens with the pilot? The picture in my mind is pretty terrifying.

As for the special, just some pretty fighting. Though my girl Karen got dropped out of action AGAIN. This OVA seems to be kidding me, why did they leave the best member of the team (after Shiro) the least amount of screen time?

This was everything I loved about 8th ms team. Never felt so satisfied before.

I was immensely devastated.

This was short, but enjoyable.

A great little added bonus after just finishing the OVA.

Further evidence how great the main series could've been with more episodes.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Great work from our heroes in the 08th MS Team, and it was very satisfying to hear returning cast members' voices in 2010s era animation.

didn't realize this was made way after the series until it was widescreen. Really nice animation and the audio too, shook the house when the mobile suits were walking
