Not a bad Gundam anime. I definitely like the original Origin series better. The hour long episodes really allow for greater details. It's not my favorite series, but it's very good to build context if you're starting your Gundam journey. The art style and animation is simple, but effective. You're just here for the story, not necessarily the Mobile Suit battles, although, you do see some action here. This show takes place before Mobile Suits were a big thing in the Gundam universe, so it's cool to watch a piece of Gundam history. Char is awesome and one of my favorite characters in the series,but he doesn't feel as cool here as he does in those hour long episodes. This anime isn't bad, but I think you should watch the hour long episodes first, or instead, if you are thinking of only doing one. This show isn't bad, though! I enjoyed it.
