SD Gundam Gaiden · review

This 4 episode OVA series covers an original chibi, fantasy story of Gundam. For anyone that has seen Universal Century entries up until Char's Counterattack, you will see a lot of familiar faces and mobile suits. The story itself is a very basic fantasy one; group of heroes go on a quest to defeat the big evil. It is also very kid friendly so don't expect any usual darker Gundam themes from this one. As a side note, it's probably the only other Gundam entry besides G Gundam where they actually use what is basically magic powers. Art and animation are actually surprisingly good. Yeah it looksdated but still not awful and the animation itself is very fluid. Although there's a lot of rapid flashing lights in many scenes so those prone to seizures beware. And on the sound department it's nothing crazy but sets the mood fine for the setting. I do like that they have all the original VAs reprising their respective parallel roles.

Honestly if this wasn't a Gundam entry with parallels to the other shows I would never recommend it. It's quite bland with no real substance. But if you are a completionist of the franchise like I am, I would say you could spend 2 hours in much worse ways still.
