It's bad. It's so bad.
I had high hopes after season 1 (which is an at least 9/10 piece of art), this is just disgusting compared to it's predecessor. I will rate this season comparing to season 1.
Story: 1/10
literally nothing important happens, that's not saying no plot progression was made. Like season 1 they tried to cram as much information as they could in to 4 episodes, except it was way lighter in season one due to the high quality battles. This entire season is purely exposition, with no mech fights that are remotely comparable to season 1. The intense battles between the 2 main

*Spoilers for both seasons of Gundam Thunderbolt*
The phrases "Robots are cool" and "War is hell" are nothing if not ubiquitous with Gundam. Anyone who fancies himself even a remote fan of Gundam can tell you that. Yet, while most war stories opt for the "war is hell" angle, there aren't that many of them that really feel...human. Sure, we can have something like "Apocalypse Now" and "Saving Private Ryan" which accomplishes that, but most of the time, we get "SEED Destiny" and "00 Second Season" which have it's characters come off as more "idiot/asshat tools for a broken narrative" than truly human characters that make ...

Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt 2nd Season Review
Story (7/10) Good More Specifically (7.75/10) Good The story for Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt 2nd Season was good, it definitely explained what was going on in the struggles of war far better than it's manga counterpart during the sections that were covered. Although even with that being said the concept of the struggles of war were indeed present you can tell that it was definitely more laid back (at least until the last episode) than season one. This arc slowly but surely introduced the monks and their realization of newtypes but I did feel it did it take a bit ... Jul 14, 2017
(This review contains minor spoilers for the second season, along with spoilers from the first. Spoilers from the second season are rather minor details, so they will not affect your viewing of the show.)
The first season of “Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt” is, in my opinion, the defining Gundam entry for this generation. Many Gundam series attempt to convey the message of the brutality of war to its viewers. For an entire franchise centred around the idea of gigantic robots fighting one another, the Gundam series has always had some anti-war undertones amongst its exciting stories. That being said, the first season of “Thunderbolt” was no ... Sep 4, 2021
The second season of "Gundam thunderbolt" is an example of an anime with good productive values being thrown away because of having a very bad story
Story (2/10): The first flaw in the plot is the pacing, in the first season everything was very fast, in the second the story develops very slowly, to that is added the fact that the anime is incomplete. Another negative point is how there is no real tension in the battles, in the first season the characters made a good rivalry and that made the battles entertaining, instead in this season the characters fight against enemies that I do not give a ...

Gundam Thunderbolt's second season is nothing more than the burned out husk of a once great show. A bold-faced insult to the glorious first season it succeeded which sucks it dry of the energy it once had in favor of hollow pandering and incomplete, shallow storytelling.
Let's start with the very basic premise of this season, more specifically how it's broken from the very foundation. What defined the first season of Thunderbolt was the intense, morally gray rivalry between its two leads and the squads they represent. The show gave you time to truly get to know both Io and Daryl, grow attached to them and ... Oct 14, 2017
I don't even know where to begin with this. Too preface this, I am writing this almost purely out of contempt for Ren0001's review, as I literally could not disagree more strongly. This is one of my all time favorite anime's, as this isn't some derivative, overdone, generic anime with their "Tsundere, "B-B-aka, look up my skirt you pervert!" bullshit anime's that every main stream anime publisher seems to be pushing out in vast numbers these days. Rather, this anime actually does convey the horrors of war and the underlining tragedy that marks the whole, damn series!
Seriously, in just the first two episodes we have ... May 31, 2019
This review contains terms/words which are minor spoilers to the gundam universe. Read at your own volition.
Story - 5 If you've thoroughly enjoyed the first season and think you can jump straight into the second season without knowing anything about the gundam universe then you're wrong. Unlike the first season which had a strong focus on war and its effects on people, the second season relies heavily on the viewer knowing about the Universal Century and important events in it. The show has many unanswered questions for people unfamiliar with UC such as: How did they rescue Io? What is the Battle of A Baoa Qu? What are Zeon Remnants? What ... Aug 27, 2021
Well, this particular short gundam series, well the second season that I have seen of this, was actually like a gundam anime movie packed into literally four episodes that had both sides literally trying to eliminate each other, but also, it seems like each side or each individual ace pilot was trying to pause or hesitate in between or before each attack, but gathered themselves and do what they were told by the orders give above or at the "top" one should say, even though this was a short and limited anime series I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I just wish there was more of
