Kidô Senshi Gundam GQuuuuuuX

I have now watched the first 5 episodes of this show. It started out fine, but it's been starting to slow down a bit. They don't spend much of any time explaining the Gundam universe or key events. That didn't bother me, since I am no stranger to Gundam. But people that are new to the franchise might want to know a little more. I watched the first episode in both Japanese and English and the rest in English only. While all of the voice actors did a fine job I realized that I didn't really care about any of the characters. The 5th episode was the most difficult for me to watch. It was very slow and too much time was spent on people sitting around and talking. I wouldn't have minded so much if there had been some good banter or memorable dialogue. On the positive side the animation and the combat scenes are both pretty well done. I'll continue watching it for now, but if it doesn't get more interesting in the next few episodes I will likely stop watching.

The Animation and overall look of the first episode was very good. The Fights between the mobile suits are extremly good. The transition between 2D and 3D in the fights is really well made. For a first look the charakters are looking really nice and have nice personaltys but nothing really special in the first episode. For now the biggest problem is the explanaiton of the story you dont really know waht especially the miltarys talking about if you havent watched any other Mobile Suit Gundam series, but I think taht will get cleard up wehn the series goes on and more is getting explained. For now this is a really nice start for a new mecha series. People that like anime or robot fights should really give this series (for now the first episode) a try. For everyone else give it a try or just leave it.

TLDR; The animation is top notch, but the story is garbage.

Half the time i don't know what i'm watching or if i missed an episode. Very incoherent/ inconsistent, confusing.

Battles outside/ inside a colony?, Kira Kira??, teen romance love triangle???, Zechs Merquise wannabe that goes missing for no reason, Plus the depressed/ lifeless look in their faces just makes me not want to watch.

Only reason i do is because of the Gundam brand. I wanna believe the story is good but i cant even find Manga for this, to see if it makes sense.

Animation (10/10) Story is all over the place (1/10) Recommend score (1/10)

Gundam's really gone down the toilet.

From the writers of Evangelion, comes a new, exciting, and an interesting view on the classic Gundam series. Jam packed with nostalgia and modern effects. This robot sci-fi brings back memories while supplying a new perspective to the story, expanding on the U. C. timeline but with a modern twist. From the futuristic soundtrack, to slick designs of mobile suits, even down to the voice acting, the show stands strong. As a fan of the original series, and watching it as a child, seeing such a strong sequel is rare to find in modern day, yet Gquuuuuux delivers beyond expectations. All in all, a must watch for all Gundam fans!
