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 ifthey keep fixating on this clan battle thing that already did not work out in WFM, it will fail exactly like how WFM did.
