Summary: One of the best gundam series ever
Review: this is the best gundam series ever. It has great animation and did not drag out like gundam wing did. gundam wing went for ever and ever. by the end it was pointless. This is only 15 episodes long which is great. it is short but sweet. i highly reccommed this gundam series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gundam for people who dont like Gundam Wing.
Review: Ive seen the first 10 or so episodes of Gundam Wing and well, thought the story was aimed for the younger audiences. This on the other hand seems aimed a bit up the age ladder and has a good action based plot with some cool characters. Its not 5 star material but I wouldnt give 5 stars out lightly. The animation is great and sound fairly well done. (No 5.1 though, even the intro tune is pretty catchy) I listened to the sub not the dub (eek) and it was well acted. Even with only 3 episodes per disc this small series is a worthy addition to my anime collection. Yours to probably.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A more down to earth realisic Gundam series..
Review: Well, like others, I was first exposed to GUndam by Gundam Wing eventhough I had heard of the series years before. GW looks nice but it wasn't realistic as far as I was concerned with their "disturbed" pilots and muich too strong Gundams. Gundam the 8th MS team evens out the vulnerabilities and strengths between Gundams and Zakus making the battles much more believable. It also allows you to care for the characters more seeing as they are more vulnerable in their Gundams. Animation-wise the transfer is clear and crisp. But like another poster said, the main menu screen is sparse. There's only four icons representing play movie, chapter select, sound, and extras. Kids might get those confused. Despite that, I'd definitely buy this series as its starting out to be a more believable and interesting Gundam story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For a BIG MECHA FAN....
Review: This was a great video. The previews were great, and, the Audio wasn't distorted, like alot of Mecha you'll find nowa-days. EP1-War For Two- In this, Shiro Amada, A Insign in the Federation Fleet of MS fighters, has been shipped to Earth to Battle the forces on land. However, before Entering Earth's Atmosphere, the crew inside the transport spot a battle. Viggorous to fight, Shiro requests to fight, "With a Ball?" After an emmence battle, Shiro is fighting just to stay alive, with the help of "a Girl Zeik Soldier?" EP2- Gundams In The Jungle- Shiro hasn't even got the time to remember his crews names when he is sent out on his first mission. After a poor show of fighting, Shiro's skill as a fighter is under attack. What's this?, A Gurilla gil Skinny-dipping? Shiro is seperated from his Team, and realizes how hard it is to live on Earth, and Command a MSTeam. EP3-Time Limit On Trust-The 08TH Team has to break through the enemy's hilltop forces to complete this mission, and Shiro hot-headly takes the rear appoach to surround it... Man, just what he needs, when his team is counting on him, he's captured by that guerilla-girl again...

Review: So far of all the gundams I've seen this is the best if you like Gundam Wing You'll love this. Same sound like better graffics. I love all the people in this story. The gundams are also awsome, even if there are about two only. Still good show good story.Plus on DVD you get all kinds of extras.

Summary: Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team (Vol. 2)
Review: TOTALLY WONDERFUL - GREAT DUBBING AND FAITHFUL STORYLINE, WHAT A SLICK REPACKAGING BY SOME GREAT DIRECTORS, SOUND ENGINEERS AND ENGLISH VOICE ACTORS (ROCKS!! BUY IT AND THE FIRST VOLUME). I've SEEN BOTH THE ORIGINAL (Japanese) AND THE DUBBED (BOTH INCLUDED ON THE DVD BY THE WAY). I think I have to say the English is better. This is a first for Gundam.

Brilliant work.... buy it buy it buy it!

Summary: Gundam at it's Finest
Review: I remember seeing a clip of Gundam The 08th MS Team at a video store like three years ago and I thought it was Gundam Wing so I borrowed my friend's Gundam Wing and obviously, I was disappointed that it wasn't what I had seen before. I got bored of Gundam Wing and it really wasn't what I was looking for. I forgot about finding the Gundam title that I originally wanted to see until it got released on DVD when I bought it. I just could not stop loving this series. This series has amazing animation, amazing music and opening and ending scenes, amazing story and an amazing cast of characters. If I can say that the small clip that I saw of Gundam 08th MS Team three years ago lured me into this series, you should definitely give it a try.

Gundam The 08th MS Team (made in 1995) is a 13-episode OAV series with three episodes on this DVD. The series starts off fast-paced which is good because the series is so short. It puts a foundation of the story while giving the characters depth and feeling while continuing with the story which is great especially because I get annoyed of stories that have nothing to do with the story just to build up characters. Especially with the hot-headed main character Shiro Amada, it makes you wonder what trouble he's going to get himself into next.

The extras in this DVD include a Textless Opening and a Special Animation Clip. The Textless Opening is a great extra on any DVD especially because the opening song is very nice and the animation in the opening scene is great.

The packaging is really nice too. The cover is of a Gundam on the ground with the enemy mech above it. The insert has the same picture on the cover but on the inside is a real treat. In the series, one of the characters, Michel, writes letters and the insert is in the form of a letter which gives a description of the team that he is in (the 08th MS team). The back is just some other Bandai DVD titles that have already been released. The BEST part about the DVD packaging is that the DVD cover can be reversed! There's different pictures on each side of the DVD cover (even the pictures for the back side). It's a picture of Eledore and Michel running from danger of being fired at. Reversible DVD covers is something I'd like other DVDs to have.

Final Note: A great series finally makes it on DVD. You should definitely pick this series up, it will make a great addition to your ever-growing DVD collection.

Summary: 08th MS Team Rocks!
Review: How could you not like this series? If you were weaned on Cartoon Network's Gundam Wing series as your first Gundam, I'm very sorry. Wing is the black sheep of the series. If you've seen any of the other Gundam series,then you will instantly love this one. Great characters, som very funny moments, awesome storyline, and not to mention the beautiful artwork done on this series. The only bad part is that this series is very short and the extras on the DVD are slim. In the end, it will leave you very satisfied.

Rating: 5 stars
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.
