Holy shit, that brought me to tears multiple times ;____; I don't know why I wasn't expecting this series to be this dramatic, but god damn if it isn't ripping my heart a new one!

Not only that, but this is seriously the ultimate UC "fanservice," as it were. Not fanservice in the same way that Gundam Unicorn shows amazing battle between classic styled Zeon and Federation suits, but serving us fans material that enhances the classic series that we've always loved while being entertaining in its own right. Seriously hoping the other 4 episodes keep up the trend that the first 2 have had.

Jesus did Sayla get the short end of the stick on this one. I started to feel emotional when she buried Lucifer.. and then friggin Char bounces in a cold manner.

Perfectly put. When this ends, I'm planning on re-watching the original.

Wow that intro at the beginning really helped to clarify some confusion I still had with the story. The political drama of Gundam always kept me from getting too into it, so it's been a pleasant surprise how much I've been enjoying this OVA

Poor Artesia/Sayla, losing so much in such a short time

Great episode this one. Young Casval/Char already showing off some of his preternatural anticipation and fighting skills. But I'm baffled as to how Ramba can work for one of the Zabi's with all that's happened between those 2 families.

This is true. It explains a lot why in Gundam 79' she comes across as someone who's so aloof. She's been through so much in her young life.

It appears that Casval was always a little bit crazy, but I believe that his mother's death made him even worse. He met his identical twin, Char, which must be where he got that name from.

Artesia is suffering more than anyone, which is a lot for a girl her age to go through.

Awesome episode. Casval is a dark one, isn't he? Sayla is a bit dramatic, but rightfully so; she seems to have to adapt to a lot, sadly.

Really enjoying this so far, especially the fact they chose Sayla as the main protagonist who we go on a journey with, rather than Casval. He barely has any dialogue and is in the background for the most part, but is slowly becoming more prominent, kind of like Ripley in the first Alien movie.

I also find it really interesting how he barely had any relationship with his mother, I don't think she said one word to him in the first episode?

I'm not really a fan of cameos though, like Mirai and Amuro, but at least they were mercifully brief. Too many cameos and you end up like Star Wars, the smallest galaxy in fiction.

Baffling creative decision to have a swordsman in armour go after the priority targets when the other hitmen were shown to just use guns. Great episode other than that.
