Both languages have actors that equally represent their characters. The voice acting in both English and Japanese are excellent and top quality. Due to all of these combined great features I can’t say anything bad on. The 2nd to last battle is most certainly a top 5 in Gundam battles or fights in general of all time. And you have to watch this anime until the end.

So it brings a different sense of intensity, anticipation, and excitement which helps makes this series stand out in comparison to other Gundams because the characters aren’t of course newtypes where they got crazy reflexes. In comparison to your traditional Gundam where it’s all about space battles, we are now reduced to watching guerrilla jungle warfare, so strategy and tactics play a big part into this series like how it did in the final battle of War in the Pocket.
The mobile suits are of course still in complimentary of the original Gundam designs, except the pack more heavy fire power and have more of a bulky look to it which suits the nature of the battles which I will now talk about. I will elaborate on how I feel about the battles later, so time to talk about the mechanical designs. I really like the expressions the faces have in the battles as well as the angles and postures.

The character designs are very diverse and distinctive, and the environments are well detailed thanks to the work of Kawamoto Toshihiro, who has also served as a staff member in other duties such as on Votoms, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam 0083, and Patlabor. I will further elaborate on what I feel on what I think the themes are. It’s used effectively and reasonably, and it also helps the development of Shiro and Aina as well. The Romeo and Juliet thing is a bit cliché’, but not really over the top. So once again, this Gundam series delivers an all around cast with a well paced story that revolves around solving their issues and developing the characters which was how I viewed it. And there’s the bad ass Norris, who is their ace pilot, and is a father figure to Aina.
She is very formal and obedient to her brother, Ginias, who is a straight out psycho-path. Even though he is a rookie, he is still strict and very dedicated to completing his mission and truly values loyalty. However, Shiro is the all around character who has this mysterious and unorthodox kind of charisma, who is trying to not only develop his own leadership skills, but to find his role in this conflict and to find his way to confess his love to Aina despite being an enemy soldier. And there are some characters who have personal issues such as Terry Sanders who is called the reaper because he’s the only surviving member of his previous units, and Karen just doesn’t think Shiro has what it takes to be a commander. SuchĪs Eladore, the sound specialist wants to be a musician, and Michel, who is timid and cowardly, wants to go back home and be with his girlfriend. Every character has their own ambition and dreams out side of the war. Despite being a short oav series, it has a descent amount of character on both the Zeon and Federation’s side where they all stand out and get their chance to shine, and develop as a result of it. Allow me to explain why many including myself feel this way which this review is of course for. Hell, maybe even one of the best animes of all time. Their reunion weakens his resolve to continue fighting, and now the young commander Shiro must prove his loyalty to the Federation-or be branded a traitor.Ī lot of Gundam fans will probably tell you this is definitely either the best Gundam series, or at least a top 5 one. Everything goes according to plan until Shiro runs into Aina Sahalin, an ace Zeon pilot he met in an earlier battle, during a skirmish. In their first guerilla operation, Shiro's team is tasked with distracting the Zeon forces while Federation ground troops locate a mysterious new Zeon weapon. The Earth Federation gains the upper hand in the One Year War and deploys its ground troops around the planet to hunt down the stragglers.Īs part of the deployments, Ensign Shiro Amada is transferred to Southeast Asia to take command of the 08th MS Team-a special squadron of RX-79 Gundam Ground Type pilots. It is a success, and the remaining Zeon forces scatter across the globe. In year 0079 of the Universal Century, the Earth Federation initiates Operation Odessa-a full-scale assault to retake a major Ukrainian city from the Principality of Zeon.
