    Best Gundam and anime for me

    Seriously one of the best anime's I have seen. The emotions, the bond and all of that. The end of S2 was really sad. But man this crap was better then most non anime movies and series.

    More mature Gundam

    I just feel this series had the main characters in a bigger struggle than the other series. As the name suggested they are mostly from orphan backgrounds or situations and found together and be counted. There is certainly more struggle and risk involved.

    This made their achievements even more significant.

    New gundam for modern viewer not that ideal for kids though

    Life is never black and white, there are a lot of grey areas..not being able to adapt , will only limit ones potential to go the unknown, reach the unreachable that others can. That's why i love the ending this is the most realistic and modern way of telling a story of tragic child soldier of wars...... u cant romanticize it like GUNDAM SEED or fantasize it like GUNDAM 00, this is just perfect way of showing how the real world is imperfect and unfair , sometimes brutally injustice but if one were to make a big enough impact through sheer determination and sacrifices sometimes, just sometimes u gain the fruits of life in the end, the goals that most want, a sense of freedom to discover the purpose of life for those unfortunate in life. Like orga said, there is only one way forward, and don't stop believing... this really conclude a strong Japanese spirit and moto of life.

    Stuck in awe

    I can't get over the fact how messed up my emotions are after finishing season 2. Lol. I don't even cry at funerals and this one pushed me close to the edge. I'm telling myself to snap out of it - repeatedly reminding myself none of these people are real. The story was being excellent. If it hadn't received an award it should. Much respect to its creators

    Incredible, suspenseful, heartbreaking

    This is easily in my opinion the best Gundam of all time, and one of the best anime's of all time. Season one is a 10/10 masterpiece and although season 2 is not as good it is still excellent 9/10.
