Summary: What the heck happened to the credits????????
Review: Having been a fan of Gundam since its original broadcast run in Japan, I've been waiting for this series to arrive on DVD for longer than DVDs have existed. Has that patience been rewarded? Well, yes and no. The series itself is *wonderful*, and it's great not to have to struggle with it across the language barrier, but... Would it have hurt them to provide the option of subtitles with original voices, for those of us who prefer it that way? And, more to the point for this particular DVD: what the HECK happened to the original opening and closing credits? Previous volumes had them intact, with the original music, songs and visuals. This time we get an utterly horrible, low-budget pistache that looks like it was done on a Commodore 64. Having already bought the next three volumes, but not had time yet to watch them, I sure hope this isn't the first sign of a downward trend!

Summary: Great Gundam episodes
Review: Ramba Ral is the third great enemy after Char and Garma and is a tough one. Great MS the Gouf and the plot is not just about mobil suit duels but follows the psychology of the characters. Great Great Great - a joy to see it after all these years. AAA+
