| Well, it's about a Zeon Mobile squadron, the Red Wolf Squadron, who are assigned to Earth in the fight for conquest. First mission and first surprise, a Black Gundam with a lightsaber causes them a lot of damage and even deaths. First episode and the animation is terrible. The initial song is horrible female characters are enhanced and horrible male characters are very feminized I don't really like it |
| This is beyond epic, the graphics, the cinematography, the acting, you can really feel the pain and suffering of war and the gray morality of each side. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.  |
| November in Eastern Europe...so this is just before Odessa. One very advanced-looing Gundam is ensuring Zekes know the name is to be feared away from the exploits of White Base's Gundam. Solari, who demonstrates newtype abilities, escapes barely from the menacing monster of a Zeon horror story. |

| As a UC fan, I've decided to watch the first episode with an open mind, can't say I'm too impressed. Seems to be much on the same vein as 08TH MS Team with a gritty realistic story but do we actually need more One Year War side stories? Having survivors from the battle of Lum is the only remotely interesting bit I caught from this first episode, Iria seems to be a Newtype (what a surprise lol) The animation is very clunky, the MS looked pretty good but looked like Gunpla animated in stop motion at times. The japanese voice acting is decent at best and the lipsync is completely off, the English dub also sucks. Haven't tried the Spanish dub but I can't believe this is probably the only UC series dubbed to Spanish, what a shame. |

| Was watching the first episode and thinking to myself "they should have spend more money on graphical quality and less on diversity-equity-inclusion consulting.". |

| This gundam is switching quick between shield+beamrifle and melee only. No idea why it waited without shield+rifle when the zaku's first engaged on it (also why didnt it do anything before as it seems they werent far apart at all lol). Suddenly however it quickswapped to its shield and rifle again without the zaku pilots noticing? What? Punching through the cockpit is pretty savage. Ye all in all the char models are not great, not bad. Coming from MS IGLOO this might be a lil better haha. Mech designs are an interesting take (albeit somewhat bloated). |

@ZingFreelancer are you trolling or being serious? I can't tell with people on this site sometimes.
| @Will444 I mean he's kinda right, just got down watching it and it's typical netflix woke. To be expected at this point. |
| Oh boy, this is rough. Instead of character or story, they jump into action with little explanation. Fine, so it's supposed to be impessive eye candy instead of content, but it's not good at that either. The Bakus and Gundams look passable, but the rest is garbage. Hell, Final Fantasy Spirits from Within, which came out 23 years ago looked better than the characters in this thing. Why does this exist? |
