Summary: First Review for this product in 4 years!
Review: I think, when this was release almost 5 years ago, people didn't quite understand, you see, during that time, They were in the After Colony frame of mind (and then, that was THE first GUNDAM SERIES in america EVER! I think in todays world , The Gundams of Cosmic Era (Seed) People who haven't read this yet will appreciate it more than people did then. This is a very good Graphic novel, But it does seem to end quite abruptly. I feel that this will appeal to Universal Century fans as well since this is when and where it takes place. I do reccomend this product. VERY MUCH!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting plot for Gundam Fans
Review: I've been a fan of Anime and Manga for a long time. I was attracted by the original story and technology concepts present in the original Gundam UC world (not GWing). I've always wanted to have a Gundam manga, so when I had the chance, I bought this one, and after a quite detailed inspection, I found the following topics very useful for the people interested in it:
As a manga, the artwork is good, but of course is at a lower level compared to, for example, the Clamp / Satoshi Urushihara works. But the consistency of the story is really good and the fact that the story fills only 1 volume makes it a best-buy.

And for the Gundam fans (minor spoilers), there are so many concepts developed here, that surely makes it interesting. For example to see the early experimentation of the Zion army on Newtypes, at a time when they weren't implemented for combat purposes yet. The setting of the story is in the early days of the war with the Zion, which makes everything much more interesting, and it's fun to see how all the combat units were "malfunctioning" GM's (don't expect to see a RX type here, they didn't exist at the time of this story).

So... my advice is... get it now, if you are a Gundam fan, because it provides some background information about the series. If you are a Manga fan, it could be nice for you, but there are more options, even based in the Gundam world.

Summary: GREAT
Review: If you are a huge gundam fan you will love this comic. If you arent a big fan then you might not understand all of the lingo, but it is still a MUST BUY!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The manga was good, but the original Anime was better.
Review: If your a new fan to Gundam, I think you should get this book. It doesn't follow the show on Cartoon Network, but it is still about the mobile suits they call Gundams. Anyway, the drawings are great and its not hard to find yourself wanting to turn the page. I don't like the end because it just kind of stops. Read it for yourself. If you liked Blue Destiny, get Mobile Police Patlabor! Trust me, you'll love it!

Summary: Nice, But Not Great
Review: The art in this book is wonderful, but the storyline is kind of dull and hard to follow. If you're a fan of Mobile Suit Gundam, and willing to read through it a couple of times to fully grasp the plot, then this is probably worth buying. Otherwise, don't bother.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Blue Destiny- Once more into the universe!
Review: The epic GUNDAM universe is expanded once more in thisbrilliantly-illustrated manga collection. Assembling six chapters ofwhat is some of Yoshiyuki's best work ever, MIXX Manga has made a great addition to the Kido Senshi (Mobile Suit) Gundam series. Sadly, the storyline is a bit lacking. It reads like a prototype script for THE MATRIX 2.

My advice to you? Read BLUE DESTINY like you would a playboy- Drool at the art, and ignore the text.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blue Destiny
Review: This book was great!! The plot was good and the book was full of pages and pages of action! This book is good for Gundam fans familiar with the original Gundam series (Mobile Suit Gundam).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good. Could be better.
Review: This is a pretty cool manga. You may need to read it a few times to understand it due to numerous plot twists and flash-back sequences. If you're a fan of the Wing series, this may be a good intro to the Universal Century timeline. As for the plot, it's a bit slow at points, but great battle scenes make up for it. Overall, 4/5 is just about a perfect rating for this manga.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: COOL
Review: Well all that i can say that it is a nice novel if you are a gundam fan u must read it
