Summary: Know the plot??? Here is the Tech side of this DVD!!!
Review: Now I Know what all you are thinking. Who cares 'bout the plot? Well I will tell you about the technilogical side of "MobileSuit Gundam:The 08th MS Team Vol.2"(I'll call it"MS08v2".
When you first load the cd on your player it will show some of the companies that made it then go to the main menu. When you'r at the menu it will play the clip from the first episode on the disk showing the Apsulus firing at the 08th Team. It also has four icons on the bottom.
1) a movie camera that plays all three episodes.
2) a magnefied glass that is the scene access. Inside that there are five scenes you can play which says "opening, partA, part B, closing and preview". You can also chose witch episode to do that on.
3) a sound icon witch allows you to chose English Dubbed Version, or the original Japanese audio. (NOTE:the music in the dubbed is the same as in the Japanese) You can also chose to put the subtitles on or off. (Note:subtitles only say the Japanese script)
4) a clipboard that acceses the Bounus Materials menu. A)Trailers of BigO, PioltCanidate, AngelLinks, and MobileSuitGundam 0079. B) BonusClips that talk about Colinization, How the "One Year War" started, and about the Zeon and Earth federation Mobile Suit development Project. C) MS Encyclopedia that decribes the federation's Gundam, GM, GM sniper, Bustertank, and The HoverTruck. D) DVD Credits.Overall This series is the best that Gundam, and Anime, has to offer. If you get this DVD I highly (on a scale of one to ten, 30) recommend you buy Volumes 3 and 4, THEY ARE THE BEST. The animation, music, sound effects, plot are all A+ quality! I ordered them on a thursday night and got them the next thursday! Thank you Amazon!!! Once you get those you should look into Gundam 0083! I'm getting that next from ONLY Amazon.com! Peace... ps. I'm not saying not to get it, but, I heard "Miller's Report" (witch is the movie that summurizes the first half of the MS08 seires) got a very low rating from some reviewers.

Summary: Finally Good Zeon Characters
Review: OK I would like to proclaim myself an antigonist lover, i allways seem to side with the bad guy, but by the end of the series OOPS THEIR DEAD AND EVERYONE IS GLAD. I loved this series because it shows the zeon in a different light, they are not the evil, maniacal, bloodthirsty tyrants they are in The original and its other sequels. They are human, they care about others, and are just seeking independance, at the cost of the feddies lives and their own. I believe this is the best Gundam of all

Summary: Pleasantly Surprised
Review: Shiro Amada, inexperienced in ground combat, is recently transferred from the zero-g's of space to become commander of the 08th MS Team. It's short (only 11 half-hour episodes, plus an epilogue), but things don't need to be long and politically complicated (more like confusing) to seem terribly realistic. A side story during the One Year War (basic setting for most of the orginal Gundam series), 08th MS Team is the story of the not-so-elite. Straying from the main focus of shows like Gundam Wing - giant Mobile Suits destroying each other in the name of honor and peace - 08th MS Team is a quieter version of a large-scale war. Shiro isn't the heroic, I don't care if I kill you, I'll blast you for peace, war is the only way to solve anything, type presented in most previous Gundam stories (the Gundam universe sagas ran for over twenty years in Japan). Instead Shiro is sensitive, and protective of his teamates. But things change when he meets a Zeon pilot named Aina. The 'evil' Zeon, enemy of the Federation, contains decent people. She's no more horrible and evil than Shiro. Things began to twist and turn for this young man, and he's not sure whether this is the right approach to the war at all. But his commanding officers aren't too hot about his connection with the Zeon pilot. Formerlly scorned by his teamates, he had earned their trust. Now...will things change? The first episodes are a great introduction. You meet everybody, get the idea, begin to understand the characters. But it's not all talk. Watch out for some exciting jungle battles, and few plot twists that'll leave you wondering. The first ep is my only peeve about the series so far, being rather mushy and slow - but don't let that turn you off! Technically speaking, the animation is wonderful. Since its an OAV, its a bit above standard when it comes to Gundam. Beautifully detailed jungle battles backed with colorful greens and browns makes this intruiging to look at. The animation can get rather comical at times, but everything is bearable. If your familiar with some anime, you'll reconize the looks of the animation from Outlaw Star, which premiered on Cartoon Network before 08th MS Team. Actually, despite complaints, the dubbed voices aren't bad. Yeah, the dialouge can get cheesy, and the acting isn't perfect. But I've seen worse. In conclusion, fans of spectacular battles and stoic, cute pilots may be a little turned off. But if you're looking for a more realistic side of the war, 08th MS Team is for you. The story of the cast outs and common soldiers, there's something in this for every anime fan. Simple, easy, real, no polotics - really. What more could you want?

Summary: War for Two
Review: Shiro, the leader of the 08th MS Team, meets the girl of his dreams. Unluckly, the babe is a member of the Zenon, and Shiro is a member of the Federation....those two groups are at war. The two meet in space after they have a mobile suit battle, and the two soon become friends.
Shiro leads the 08th MS Team into many battles in the jungle.
You hardly see any of the Zenon's. I first saw this on Cartoon Network, and I like the DVD much better.

Summary: 8th MS team dvd 2
Review: Taking place in the year Universal Century 0079 (Same time as the original "Mobile Suit Gundam") Mobile Suit Gundam: 8th Mobile Suit Team tells the story of Shiro Armada and his team of Mobile Suit Pilots, for those wondering 8th MS is a great thing to watch if you are just now getting into Gundam. Now most Gundam series tell the story of a 15 year old Dragged into the war and how he and his friends win the war, 8th ms team is the opposite, it actually documents what the "regular" people were like in the time, they use regular robots that do not have the power to take down an entire fleet, and they fight against other regular robots like "Zaku II's". With that said you get to watch the team do various operations, like freeing a town from the control of ZEON, or doing stuff in the desert. One scene I really like is a scene where they are actually preforming maintence on a robot, scenes like this actually imerese the viewer in the feeling that this is what being a soilder is like.
The characters also have human sides, Shiro is trying to prove himself and keep his dysfunctional team intact, Micheal (Spelling) is suffering the woes of a long distance relationship, and there are many other characters with "human" problems, the characters also are not imortal, there are times when their MS get destroyed, and they get injured. There is also a love story, which I find rather interesting, because it has that whole "Two soilders on different sides fall in love." feel. Would I suguest it? YES! to everyone. 8th ms team really shows what it would be like to be a grunt in the earth federation army, and also has a nice love story in it.

Summary: Way to go bandai!!!!!!
Review: The 08th MS team is a great series. It has top notch animation, wonderful music, and great charecters and story. Most people might have had there first tast of Gundam threw wing relesed 2 years ago. If you like wing you will love the 08th MS team. P.S we see the return of animze/ZRO limit which is nice for a change see as Bandai loves to get the ocean group.

Summary: Anime at it's BEST!
Review: This is beautiful. The 08th MS Team is in my opinion the 2nd best series in the gundam saga. The animation and dubbing is great, and it has a really military atmosphere. One little problem: this is not for little kids. My friend told me there was a scene involving brief frontal nudity in the credits, and there is profanity. Recommended age: 13-14(my opinion)
