It's really good underbelly stories of the One Year War from Zeons side. Yes, the animation is old "Butt Ugly Martians" style, but this is as good as its gonna get for a tv show in 2004. Each episode focuses on a different experimental Zeon weapon that undergoes live combat testing during the event of the One Year War. The suits and battles still hold up, and has one of the best opening songs in Gundam. Fans of "08th MS", "Stardust Memory", and "War in the Pocket", will certainly find some enjoyment in this short series focused on the gritty side of war and on newmachine development. (The second episode being the best)

That being said, if the art bothers you too much, don't force it. The faces are a bit creepy, and there aren't any particularly memorable characters, it's more about their actions taken when faced with tough situations that shines the most.
