Summary: The 08th MS Team
Review: I've been lucky to have the opportunity to watch all Gundam series, and this is my personal favorite, very human and without the "newtypes" which kinda makes it more "real". It is useless to make any summary nor outline for this series as everyone else already took their shot at these. If you happen to love the human characters this is the best one to start with, and if I may suggest follow it with "Stardust Memory" and "War In The Pocket".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gundam at it's best!
Review: Why? The animation is superior to anything else I've seen in the Gundam universe, Endless Waltz being the only contender. With the first episode this series gets off to a powerful beginning in a gritty, edgy, and very exciting storyline.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Proof that Gundam makes your grandma scream for mercy.
Review: If you think Gundam Wing is a good series, then prepare to be blown away. Not only does every episode contain some serious action...but it also looks fantastic. This series was originally released in Japan as an OVA (Original Video Animation) which means it was released straight to video -read as: Higher budget/ better animation. This series is actually a side-story to the main Gundam Universal Century series, kind of like the "elsewhere..." of comic books. Unlike Gundam Wing, the 8th MS Team characters work together and help each other out in times of need, which creates some very likeable heroes. The animation itself is superb -done by Sunrise/Bandai (of Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star fame) and receives a fantastic transfer to DVD. The extra's include both English and Japanese language tracks and some extra footage -with an easy to navigate menu system. While this series is coming to Toonami, I highly recommend this DVD regardless. You'll see and hear a lot of stuff on the DVD that didn't make it past the Cartoon Network sensors -that, and the increased picture quality make this disc a must for Gundam fans.

NOTE: Although not stated, this disc is Playstation 2 compatible -Booyah!

Summary: True Spirit of Gundam...
Review: forget Gundam Wing. Those are for kids. the 8th MS team is what Gundam is all about. This is a balanced series that tells both side of the war in a very human way -- love, friendship, trust are all discussed. ALso, it shows that there is no absolute good or absolute evil in war, but all are guilty. It's mecha are not the all might invincible robots of GUndam Wing, and this is a good thing since it enhances the real struggles that pilots go through in war. And last but not least, it is great animation. You can't go wrong with this. As good as the other great series of Gundam -- 0083 Stardust Memories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gundam on the Ground
Review: I saw this subtitled. The first episode is action packed and establishes that there are actually human beings fighting each side of a war. That love, trust, and friendship can cross the lines drawn out by the war. Shiro is established as an ace pilot in space, but can he handle ground combat? You will see the gundams in squads with support vehicles. And what is neat is that the battles are not in space but in a Jungle environment. The sonar is an interesting concept..... It's really cool. For the Gundam Fans awesome... For Anime Mech fans.. excellent.. For those looking for an interesting love story with a war back drop... awesome... .....

Gundam UC forever....

UC stands for Universal Century pre-dating wing and X series..

This happens at the later part of the one year war....presumabley while Amoru Ray is fighting the big fight in space...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite possibly the best Gundam ever
Review: This series is quite possibly the best Gundam ever. It has good music, well-exectuted action sequences, and an instanly likeable story. The seeds of love between Shiro and Aina are planted firmly in episode 1, though you don't get to see them take root and grow on this volume. The only problem I encountered were a few lapses in the dub acting, but that just makes the characters seem more human. This DVD is well worth the money!
