Edit: I've changed to a different way of working out the overall rating I give anime now, as I think it works better than just my hype from the moment of watching an anime. Just gonna say this I have no knowledge of the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt Manga. --------------------- Animation --------------------- The animation for this show was brilliant. ---------------------Sound
---------------------
The sound was brilliant, the voice acting was perfect to me, and the various soundtracks were awesome, especially the Jazz soundtracks.

---------------------
Story
---------------------
The story was well laid out and gave good incite to all the characters backstories and was a primary driving force for the story.

---------------------
Character
---------------------
All the characters were well developed considering this was a 4 episode series.
Additionally we see more information on the soldiers fighting for Zeon than we really see in other series of the franchise.

---------------------
Value/Enjoyment & Conclusion
---------------------
This series was highly enjoyable and I would recommend it for those with no real knowledge of the Gundam franchise, as well as people who already have knowledge on the Gundam franchise.
