This show does not have character development,but has a good plot to make it an above average anime.
Banager,the main is like Kira from gundam seed,always wanting to stop fighting and crying even when the situation does not call for it.A chosen one from the onset,he at least does have a useful role as a protector and does not have as much of the gary stu complex as much as Kria.
Ther animation is awesome.the mecha fights are cool and well choreographed,and unlike anime like Madoka aren't pointless trippy rides that add nothing to the story.
The show is about finding the laplace box,a treasure that could change humanity and the unicorn gundam is the key to unlocking it.It could end the war between newtypes and the normal human.I was disappointed by its reveal cause it is comething that any government with common scene could have done easily,but it did its job decently.
It still has the trope of the power of understanding is a superpower that could wipe out the baddie in an instant.but at least that are meaningful protecting scenes and people butting heads unlike 00 where it was just a deus ex machina and merely saying that understanding is a magic power of everybody agreeing with each other.
The dialogue can get too draggy at times,they talk about war in general which sometimes irrelevant to the situation at hand.Makes it "deep" though.
Liked the father figure subplot .
Riddee was a bad villan.he randomly helped a girl and betraying his forces like nothing and came back to the good side like nothing.No proper foreshadowing and buildup
The awkward scene transistions.Zeon princess in a diner.Nuff said.
At least this is one of the few series that actually deserves its "Gundam" title.
