Summary: The one that started it all
Review: Here it is, sports fans, the original "Mobile Suit Gundam"; accept no substitutes. Young Amaro Ray finds himself in the middle of a war, and in the cockpit of the Earth Federation's most advance secret weapon. Naturally, since he's a genius (and his dad designed the Gundam), he quickly figures out how to operate it, saving his colony from destruction by the Principality of Zeon. Naturally, since he's the only one who knows how to work the darn thing, he is quickly drafted into the Earth Federation Army (or Navy, whatever).
Over the course of 42 episodes (the first 5 of which are on this DVD), Amaro and his companions must fight for survival against overwhelming odds, uncertain supply lines, and the constant attacks of the "Red Comet", Char Aznable, the Zeons' ace pilot. Amaro establishes the now-familiar Gundam theme of "young rookie pilot makes good", while Char establishes a similar theme of "blond bad guys (with cool nicknames) wearing masks".
Overall, this is a high-quality series that is more focused on storytelling than merchandising, and all of the discs have great Special Features. My rating: 10/10

Summary: not english mothertongue
Review: it is really nice to see gundam in my dvd player, but since I am not english mothertongue I would have appreciated english subtitles to allow me to understand the dialogues better.
I wish that my suggestion will be considered if there will be other releases.
