David Hogan Anime UK News It's grim without being so for the sake of it (though I wouldn't watch it if you're looking for an uplifting tale...) and the animation, music and voicework are all top notch. Rated: 9/10 Jan 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Don't let the name fool you, it's an unflinchingly darker and unapologetically gritty depection of the horrors of war and its effects on the human condition. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hadn't watched a Gundam show for a decade so when I saw this movie around decide to give it a shot, it didn't disappoint. While the story is not as good as the original series, the movie's plot really builds up enough tension to warrant a series based on it, got enough heroism & personal tragedy's going for itself. The anime is good, we have great mech battle sequences, excellent music and voice-over, the story arch pretty easy to get into. Still its strictly for the fans of the series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
