So this really is a mixed bag. Overall I'm very happy it was made but disappointed.
There are some very strong points such as the animation the fight sequences the level of detail i like the main character who is a very strong female lead without being a mary sue.
There are some very weak points such as the actual dialogue which fluctuates between well thought out episodes with realistic dialogue and other episodes that sound like they were written by chat gpt .
There is a level of modernism that is thrown into this which is completely unnecessary and attracts from it.
The accents are all over the place which normally compliments Gundam films and TV shows but in this case was poorly chosen and makes no sense.
The middle half of it felt very weak and lackluster where is the beginning and ending was phenomenal. Episodes 1-2 and 6 held up to the original Gundam films. Where is episodes 3 through 5 varied from g gundam level of sillyness to some well done scenes.
As far as the mobile suits various armor and fight scenes very well done. They do overpower the Gundam which I think was silly and change the face. But it's much better than a lot of the UC spin-offs we have.
I do hope they make some video games with this assets.
Strenths
Base story
Set design and details
Battle sequence
Strong female lead
Didn't red con anything
Solid voice acting
Weak points
Silly secondary characters
Overpowered Gundam
Bad dialogue written by chat GPT or poorly translated
Filler episodes
Modern political discourse injected which has nothing to do with Gundam or anti war gundam themes.
On the one hand I'm happy for anything uc thats new. But this very easily could have been much better with a little editing and a little better writing....
I'm convinced if you cut this down from 3 hours to an hour and a half and used ai to change some lines and add some it would actually A+ film . But its not . Worth watching for any Gundam fan not sure for anybody else.
