| This is beyond epic, the graphics, the cinematography, the acting, you can really feel the pain and suffering of war and the gray morality of each side. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.  |
This shit is so ass. Pure fucking Zeon-wank propaganda. Oh those poor oppressed people who the show never acknowledges their warcrimes. Operation British? The Zabi family? Not important cause they just want to go home now! One of the shittiest endings I've ever seen too. My expectations were low but holy fuck. |
| Iria's anti-war message is laughable! Poor series! Bad animation! Worse music! 5/10 kekeke |
| My notes from the episode: Wow, the poor Feddies can't even sweep a forest properly. Imagine the group of Guntanks not being guarded by GMs. Imagine even worst, the back sensors of this Gundam not working, making its backstabbing pretty easy. And of course the NewType precognitive powers never work when the plot demands it. Seriously, what's wrong with Iria? The mental contact with the Gundam pilot made her a traitor or something? And my impression from the season - it could work despite retreading this UC period is kind of boring now. It didn't. - One major problem is the lack of certain degree of military realism. There were some weird and outright stupid moments. They should've have on board a military consultant or two...or maybe they had, but didn't listened to them at all times. - The characters talked too much even in scenes they shouldn't, like in battle or while infiltrating an enemy base. This is a Hollinwood syndrome tho. - One of the goals was to make Zeon's soldier somehow sympathetic, but also to push an anti-war message. This is hard to achieve and they failed. - The Gundam pilot was a total weirdo, They totally failed to present him as a human being. Maybe he was a CyberType? - The captain of the "scrap base" was interesting till certain point - evil, petty, but fulfilling his duties...than he stopped making sense. - One of the gaols was to get interested some noobs into the Gundam lore, that was shoehorned and forced. - I kind of liked the designs, but the character animation was horrible. also some of mobile suits changed characteristics on the fly. - And last but not least the story made no sense to me, like Iria going suddenly anti-war? I wasn't convinced. The rest were some tired war tropes and going from point A (in Romania) to point B (in Ukraine) with side quests. So, it was a trash show, but I enjoyed all those clunky rusty mechs doing improbable parcour around, also a UC reference or two. |

| I feel like I'm missing A LOT OF context about this gundam show lol |
| I didn't hate it, but it was a jumbled mess of gundam tropes, all explored better in other gundam anime. |

| That was decent, it wasn't bad, but it definitely could have been better, MSIGLOO was much better, for example, I wish they made a direct sequel to MSIGLOO covering the retreat of Zeon in space instead of this. |
| I actually thought this was a pretty good series. Like objectively it was well written and the CG was really good as well. I wanted to be like "Teehee, western Gundam anime equals bad." But it I really can't think of any genuine criticism. It was especially neat to see the Gundam as an antagonist. |
| It was an ok mini-series. Story is nothing special, seen many times, but it's not boring either. 3D was good, I see people complaining, but I haven't noticed anything really wrong, only doctor's face looks really weird, even in comparison to other characters. Diversity emphasis though was higher than I would like for a series, and that pink hair in the army is no-go. Music was good though, I liked the OP. |
| The story was cringe-worthy, the characters unrelatable, the human animation meh, but mech fights were good. |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
| She continues fighting to stop more child soldiers??? (better not check what Zeon remnants were up to after the OYW) |

| That was so bad, lol. Iria was a terrible MC. The writing and dialogue was ass. The human animation is so stiff and janky, its so weird. CGI movies from the early 2000's have better animation. Despite all of this the MS' looked great, and the battles were quite enjoyable. Very disappointing. 5/10 |
| Not good, not terrible. 6,5/10 i would say. Plot is quite simple, nothing special. Animations of the character expressions is certain emotional scenes were just bland... Highlight was definitely the mech combat. They actually went with that route in the end, kinda liked that its actually not a fairytale 'good' ending, though it felt kinda cheap in a way too. |
 |
| The OP theme was well done. Seems wasted on this show though. Despite being 100% CG, it was better than expected...mainly because my expectations were rock bottom to begin with for any CG show. The human animations still looked like Final Fantasy: Spirits Within levels of jankiness. I thought the main protagonist Iria Solari, was going to be a woke feminist with that god-awful side-shaven head fashion faux pas hairdo that refuses to leave the early to mid 2010s. But she turned out to be quite likable, character written-wise, with the shaven head able to be explained by the scar there, as it helps to heal without long hair in the way...maybe happened hen her husband died which was apparently recently. Still hate the look though. Pink-haired Lt. Arhun Hailey on the other hand, has that honor of being super ugly AF, as if Stephanie became radicalized after Lazy Town got bombed...Especially with that hideous bull nose ring. Is she a cow? Grass-fed, no doubt. Her looks just scream of modern-day California liberal, rather than a believable sci-fi near future soldier in a quasi-Nazi Germany-inspired army. If she were a freelance contractor (mercenary), I can understand, and even excuse her overly chaotic character design, but as a mid-rank Lt. soldier in the Zeon army that demands uniformity, I'm not buying it. It breaks the lore of not only Gundam, but virtually every standard army in the world. The tattoos were fine (except the face tattoos, that's an out). Even the pink hair was fine (Lacus is my oshi). But it was the combination of all of the above; the excessive face tattoos, pink hair, and nose ring altogether, that pushed it over the edge. FFS, pick only one! And how the hell is her armor supposed to be suitable for space as a spacenoid anyway? Simple...it just doesn't. She should be in a space suit like the Red Wolves or army uniform. Just looking at her breaks my suspension of disbelief, and honestly it makes me want to gag. Her written character isn't a problem though; just her hideous character design. As a stand-alone series, it wasn't super terrible, but wasn't the best either...far from it. Basically "War is bad..everyone sad"...a recipe that anyone could make, so long as they don't screw it up. They didn't exactly break new ground here. I can see why they killed the Gundam kid even though it makes zero sense with his super-human abilities, they needed to close this story and wrap it up. But since they killed off the kid, I don't see it getting any kind of sequel, not that it should get one in the first place, ha...no, absolutely not. Still, the story itself was pretty okay, and better than most other CG-made series. It was an ambitious project, and one that I think the team should be proud of all the work they put into it...although they should be ashamed of whoever designed Lt. Arhun Hailey...If I wanted to see characters like her, I'd scroll through Twitter or Facebook's Threads. No thank you, Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura. Even if I wiped my ass with your character drawing papers, I'd see no difference after the shit smear. That 6.5/10 overall rating here sounds about right, more or less what I'd give this series as well. 6/10. |

| Tough ending, but really good. The Gundam pilot was essentially Amuro, but who ended up meeting his end. |
 |
| This was a lot lamer than I expected. Bad animation goes a long way for ruining a show. The concepts were decent, though nothing new either. Characters were lame. I want to say this needed more episodes but I would not have watched more tbh.. Then again I just have 0 sympathy for Zeons forces invading earth and crying about the consequences. Also the gundam manhandled a dozen Zakus in the beginning but fails to finish one trash zaku, I dont buy it. I wonder if I would have liked this more if it were normal anime, or even 90s cell animation. |
