Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is another one of "those" Gundam UC shows that are basically just small stories set during the periods of skipped time between Gundam 0079 and Zeta, and as expected it doesn't introduce anything of real importance The pacing is the usual very slow Gundam progression, which makes such a barebones plot as this one somehow take 13 full episodes. This is twice as 0080: War in the Pocket, and yet there is even less stuff happening every episode. It also spends too much time on flashy fight scenes where I feel like most people are interested in the character conflict in Gundam atthis point.

The characters are alright but not super compelling. I applaud the writers for finally writing a half decent romance in a Gundam plot for once though.

There's really not a lot to say, it's a very 7/10 show, technically good but not much more besides.
