Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team

This particular series is one of the best Gundam anime work created. A deviation from the usual over the top emotional display and excessive fighting dynamics, 08th team MS Gundam tackles with some serious issues.

The portrayal of ensign Shiro Amada as a "newbie" is realistic and the depiction of the turmoil he faces in the face of war is very well shown. The beautiful Aina Sahalin character is a perfect blend of courage, intelligence and she asserts herself when necessary.

The romance between the central protagonists has been dealt adeptly,and all other characters are well rounded, where they display excellent yet accurate picture of human emotional response.

A must watch for anime lovers!

The 08th MS team features two hopeful romantics from different sides of the conflict. Aina, the Zeon officer, and Shiro, the Federal Forces' new pilot, meet in a battle in space, throughout the 12 episode series (and one "movie") the two debate their love for each other while trying to come to grips with the war that surrounds them. It features a Romeo and Juliet romance and unbeatable animation. By far one of the best to hit American Shores. Suit Up!

When I first checked out this chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam on Toonami years ago,I have to say this chapter of this show was even better than the first one.I only got to see some of the episodes,but not all of them. I had to get this series,and that is what I did. But when I bought the series after getting advice from Voice Actor,Michael McConnohie,he was right. It was enjoyable,and I really got into the series. It had a good storyline,and some of the best Gundams since the first. The characters I liked in the show are:Kiki,Shiro,Aina,and Norris.But however,this show is one the best chapters in the Mobile Suit Gundam series. So in closing,if you liked the first chapter of Gundam,then see this one.It's the best.

This show is a great anime to watch whether you like Gundam or not, but is especially fun to watch if you are a Gundam fan watching the series in chronological order. It's animation and voice acting are good and it has a Cowboy Bebop vibe to it. Overall it's a very good show that I highly recommend.

This show has great pacing, characters, and story elements. It has a very nice flow and is easy to digest. The only flaw is the last episode being out of place. Ignore that and this will easily be a perfect Gundam show.
