" IT'S A GUNDAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Had to get it out.
I give it a 7/10, bumped up to 8 cause Endless Waltz.
Second anime I went out of my way to go and buy
First anime I watched with this stoopidly high bodycount (I didn't look at the regular soldiers as just nameless mooks)
Themesong got me into Japanese/foreign music en masse (themes by Two-Mix)
SO fukkING WORDY. This show never fails to use 3 words when it can use one. I loved it.
So many characters.
Loved how almost everyone started out a certain way, but almost everyone was totally different when the show ended
Heero Yuuy: Death Seeking Heroic Sociopath.
Zechs' first time going into space and realizing there was silence after a lifetime of hearing the constant sound of battlefields is one of my favorite moments in all of anime.
BUT
A lot of those character changes just..... happened and weren't needed. Compare Lady Une's nervous breakdown to Quartre's pointless nervous breakdown.
Animation was great, but kinda lacking at the same time?
Wufei is a bytch.
Outside of Heero's war trauma and Trowa being in the circus, they really never delve into the pilots' backstories
SO fukkING WORDY.
