Victory Gundam is known to be extremely depressing and for good reason, Tomino, the creator of the Gundam Franchise was depressed at the time because Sunrise was merging with Bandai and this is personally his most hated series and even said 'You are a fool for watching this' But as a Gundam fan I felt it was my duty to watch this and I can see why he hates it so much.
While Victory is a 'kill em all' series, a lot of it was rather unpleasant to watch as there were a lot of deaths that were a little extreme like beheading, vaporized by

I dub thee, Gundam of Thrones. Seriously, this one is brutal, with gore, decapitations, and lots of death. In spite of its otherwise childish tone and visuals, literally no one is safe, so be sure to lock up your waifus and children. This is called "the most depressing Gundam" for a reason.
To qualify this review, going into this I've watched basically all of Universal Century Gundam back to back in more or less chronological order, and this was the last one on my list. And boy was this an interesting one. There is a lot to like (and a lot to dislike) about this show. In ... |
