| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That ending is absolutely memorable. A world of possibilities opens up for everyone. I can really recommend the sequel by the way. It's very, very different (it was made 10 years later!) and the first 2 episodes one feels that it has nothing to do with this one, but trust me it does. Check it out. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| This anime is a pretty good representation on why mecha anime is usually a snooze-fest to me. |
| 4/5 Overall: A rather cheerful escape/chase, in an exotic world at war. Good SF concept, appealing variety in cultures/countries/designs, more faithful to Mikimoto's art than MacrossTV. But there are too many scenes recycling and it's a bit too long for what it does and tell. Most characters are simple, some are cool. Score: 6/10 |
| Was a pretty solid sci-fi adventure story, but somehow as it got towards the end (like around when they start negotiating with Chiram) the episodes started feeling more loosely connected and it was getting a little boring. Kei and Mimsy could be pretty insufferable too. It had a lot of personality though, a very unique feeling. |

| Despite some "flaws"(which added some charm in a way), I actually ended up liking the series as a whole. The last couple of episodes kinda salvaged this bumpy adventure, even tho everything was wrapped up a bit too fast imo. |

| So sad for Mome. She is the best character. |
| Wow I'm very, very surprised at how good this ended up being. I feel like not being part of the Robotech group and never having took off like Macross in Japan cursed this series to an obscurity that I truly feel it doesn't deserve. History hasn't been fair to Orguss. The characters were great to me, the mix of so many different cultures and different ways of thinking and understanding was the gem of the series and I really loved the machine designs. It truly is a shame that so many action scenes reuse frames and movements so much throughout the entire series. I felt genuinely bad for Mome and the Lieutenant. They all served their friends to the very end. It's a shame the Chiram scheme doesn't go anywhere. They were really planning on betraying the Emarn and that sadly doesn't go anywhere. From the ending I understand that somehow they end up fixing the world and the surviving characters end up living happy lives... except Manisha whose husband apparently dumps her for Shaia. It was cute seeing Kei and Mimsy with their baby. It's an 8/10 for me despite the flaws. |
| so what the hell ended up happening, they gave us a random montage of the characters living happily but is that it? how did they fix the world if they could only chose between emarn and chiram. decent anime but not the best from its era |

| I can't believe that's how it ended?! I liked it and I mostly understood what happened but damn it was over so quickly. Overall I quite enjoyed this show, it had a strong cast and a very interesting plot. It does have a lull in the middle but then nearly all 80s mecha shows do. Still far superior to Tomino's output from the time so 8/10 from me. |
