Callbacks to the original 0079 were great, but Char's new VA reads a bit flat; maybe it's just me.

The second half, or the 0085 segments, have so many ideas and remnants from Evangelion and Utena that are being forced over onto GQuuuuuux. No, we don't need another Nagisa Kaworu(basically what Shuji is) for the Gundam universe, and I'm saying this as a huge Evangelion fan.

The good thing is Amate's character has some shining moments that gives me hope that her character buildup has potential far beyond mediocrity like Suletta was in WFM.

Here's to hoping that the tv series version will be better, but if ... they keep fixating on this clan battle thing that already did not work out in WFM, it will fail exactly like how WFM did.

No spoiler review.

I found myself empathizing with the heroine "Chi" more often thatn I do the actual main male lead, due to some questionable writing decisions by modern standards, as well as the position that Chi was put in for the majority of the time of this show.

However, the empathy and careful buildup of Chi's character is what this show's core is about, and was very well done in my opinion. That being said, the show promptly ruins the purpose of this buildup in the end to introduce a new character who the audience has next to no attachment to in order to serve a ... "greater than normal" finale was not on my bucket list.

In short, it seemed to me a lot of the buildup throughout the show up till its ending was wasted by how they handled the ending. The emphasis was wrong in my opinion and involved quite a bit of questionable relationship complexes despite the core of the show not needing any of this. They could have spent more time humanizing and building up Chi's humanization and personality rather than meddling with whatever concoction they were pulling out from episodes 20 and beyond.

The first 10 episodes had too much sex related teenage angsts that pops up in way too many shows in the same era and in harem animes in general for my liking.

The only reason this show would score above a 5 is how they managed to successfully build up Chi's character from literal 0, despite it not being enough towards the end, I enjoyed the process.
