Okay, when Gundam first came out in the US we were introduced to Gundam Wing and it's pretty boys. Well after that Cartoon Network soon showed the Original Gundam Series, then following up with it's side stories. One of these Side Stories was Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team. Unlike many of the Gundam series, this series showed much praise from it's loyal fans. It's uniqe way at approaching the story line was very good and the relationship between characters was very good. The designs, as well, were amazing. This was something that I had to see.
The Story involves a less known Earth Federation Soldier Named Shiro Amada. He is sent to Earth on a mission to force the Zeon Forces out of earth, but on the way to Earth a battle begins. He soon helps a soldier in need and ends up becoming stranded in space with a female Zeon pilot named Aina Sahalin. They both fall in love but go their seperate ways. They both arrive on Earth and in the same battle grounds. They must now face each other off in a battle to end all battles on Earth. Shiro and his team of Ground Force Gundams against Aina and her brother's ultimate creation the Apsulas.
The story shows alot about what war does to people, in this case a war between Giant Robots. This is a Gundam series that must be seen. It doesn't really matter if you don't like Gundam, it's just an anime that you have to see. It's been awarded one of the bestAnime Of The Year, so that's proof of it's quality. Take it from me, the Otakufreak.
