Idk why this has such a low score, the idea of this show is so great, follow Zeon soldiers being hunted down by the recently deployed Gundams. The horror at how much stronger this one mobile suit is than whole platoons of Zakus, the helplessness of a war so quickly being turned around, it's a borderline horror anime. The animation is also incredibly amazing, it's CG but the mech and millitary fights are some of the best looking and directed in the entire Gundam franchise. This show deserves more than a 6.5 average. That said it's not perfect, while the mech animation is stunning, the characteranimation is sub par and very janky at times. Also aside from the amazing premise, the actual story line and character writing is nothing special and sadly predictable, that is to say, not very good. This had the potential to be an all timer great Gundam series. So while there's some giant flaws I gave it an 8/10 to boost the overall score a bit and to say its 100% worth watching if you like really good looking mech fights.

Sadly this series is doomed to be a super niche underrated modern Gundam series, but don't sleep on it. And don't just take my word for it, Hideo Kojima gave it high praises on twitter too! lol
