My bf and I are on episode 4 and we simply just have no idea what is going on, what anybody is fighting for. Barely have any idea who anybody is, other than what they look like. They just keep dropping random technical words for suit parts and names of places and shit and it is so confusing.

I REALLY want to like this show but genuinely, I feel no attachment to anybody or anything in the story because I have no idea what the plot even is. It's like we were dropped in partway into a story. Yeah sure I'm sure that's deep and all and I'm just dumb but what is even happening. What do the bad guys even want?
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

Without spoiling, the bad guys want to force their leader's ideology to the rest of the world and the League Militaire wants those on Earth to remain under the rule of the Earth Federation, a government that isn't the most competent, so it sometimes feels like they don't exist. The kids like Uso who end up joining the League Militaire are there more because the Zanscare empire, especially BESPA (which is one of its forces) hurt them in some way than because of actual ideologies. At the start, those from Kasarelia are just trying to survive the BESPA attack on one of the League Militaire's hidden factory in the city, and they feel like joining the League is their best chance at survival while the League wants to make sure they don't lose their secret weapon, the Victory Gundam while escaping from BESPA.

The first few episodes were swapped for Bandai to promote their Victory Gundam Gunplas.

The second episode should be the first episode.

My advice is to continue watching.
You will eventually get used to Tomino’s directing style.
Victory is not as complicated as Turn A or Reconguista In G.

Victory is when Tomino gave up
