Description:
Eight months after the revolt against the Earth by the orbiting space colonies that form the Duchy of Zeon, the war has reached a stalemate. The narrator alternately describes this war as a battle for independence and an attempt to impose a dictatorship on humanity under the ruling Zabi family. As the story lumbers along, the mecha battle sequences are juxtaposed with odd emotional scenes among the characters. Gundam pilot Amuro visits his mother, who's been working with refugees wounded by Zeon soldiers, only to have her complain that her son has become "violent." The pacing is slow, with many repetitions, and the animation is crude, with the characters changing appearance from scene to scene. This landmark mecha series--the first in the Gundam continuity--is more interesting for its historical significance than as an entertainment. Rated 13 Up, suitable for younger viewers: Violence, mostly machine versus machine. --Charles Solomon
