This is going to be a quick, straight to the point review done by an amateur writer, but an expirienced anime viewer.
First of all, instead of making a new Gundam oriented time-line or using recycled eras such as U.C. (Universal Century, timeline featuring the most famous pilot and new type: Amuro Ray and his gundam(s) RX-78-2 and Gundam Nu)/C.E. (Cosmic Era, different timeline featuring revamped gundams and featuring GAT- Strike Gundam and) a new timeline is built showing off the various gunpla models (or Gundam Model Kits) of all or if not, most of the Mobile Suits from previous gundams. Most are
...
in there, some are just hard to find (refer to Gunpla Battle Tournament gunplas and Iori Modeling Shop's Gundam Display Shelf).
The story had a very good development, but towards the end, the problems are solved too quickly or at least, that is in my oppinion. It seems like the puzzle fitted perfectly one after another too quickly. I still although, want more of the story of Iori Sei and Reiji of Aria.
Art was pheonominal in a 2014 animation perspective. The beams and lights of each gundams were mostly different when firing. (excluding background gundams meant for filling up a fight) Although the anime itself had bright and vivid art, the shadowing and torn-apart looks each of gunpla gave the series a "Gundam" feel to it(Such as the carnage between the Wing Gundam Fenice and the GAT Custom- Star Build Strike).
I also liked the sound track, openings, and endings of the song because it included both Japanese and English lyrics. The fighting music was phenominal because it had the right timing in every battle (such as counter-attacks or an inevitable lose/win).
I fell in love with the characters because each and every one have their own personalities, relationships, and ways of acting upon each other. My gut is telling me to not point out examples because of spoilers.
Overall, i enjoyed the series because it gave fun facts about gundams, it had a less dramatic feel replaced by light hearded comedy, and i will definitely hope and wait for a second season for this great anime series.
