(Three episodes watched): I saw some episodes when this series was shown on Adult Swim several years ago, and wasn't particularly impressed. Nowadays, however, it's precisely because, as .Hack//Phil put it, "This is the anime which started a phenomenon", that I've started watching it from the start. Hearing countless mentions of this classic series on other shows made it clear that I couldn't pretend to be an anime historian without familiarizing myself with it. It's clear that the animation is painfully obsolete in comparison to what's being produced nowadays, and even somebody like me must grin and bear the repetitive, undetailed, slow moving frames. To be honest, it may be impossible for a person who hadn't even heard of anime until it had already evolved vastly beyond the stage it's at here to appreciate the thrill viewers would have experienced back in 1979. Actually, I read that much like Star Trek, Gundam didn't do well in it's initial run and attained it's holy status later on through syndication. At any rate, I'm hoping the plot shapes up. Char is pretty cool! Last updated Monday, December 24 2007. | ||||||||

Great anime series, starts out kinda stupid with a bunch of kids kicking a highly trained military's ass (of course they do it with the best weapons). But after a couple episodes or so, they start having some trouble. It is much better when they main charactors have real difficulty and start getting beat then having them just wipe everyone out with no effort at all. I am currently in the middle of the 10 volume series, and I love it. This is such a great anime, if you don't have the means of watching, do yourself a favor and find a way to see this anime! This is the anime which started a phenomenon. Really good series, this is one of the best that I have ever seen. DO NOT, I repeat, do not judge this anime off of any other Gundam series, some suck beyond belief. This is a highly respected, and highly recommended anime. Keep in mind it first came out in the late 70's/early 80's, they don't have amazing computer affects, but it shouldn't matter. Note: If "not-so-good" animation is a problem for you, avoid this anime at all costs! But the animation does improve (somewhat) throughout the series.
