Kidô senshi Gundam Suisei no majo

Music Amazing, Drama, action, funny all there.

Japanese language version much much better than english version.

The issue which is not relevant at all to the series is the love story between girls, again forcing this to a new generation of teenagers, pfff The 2 seasons, takes u gradually into action, really really good, u will watch it again and again and the music alone gets u addicted.

U might have seen a previous series or the movie of gundam but u will search for more series or movies to watch, each has its own story, not related to each other which is slso really good to see, looking forward to see a real good movie from these series.

It started good and cool then it flatlined boring. That's how I describe the experience watching it.

The series started quite good then the rest of the episoded just warped into the black hole, well not entirely as it some moments it jumps up on the last episode or two moments then dives again. The show is flague with pacing on how to balance action, story and character development. I wanted to like it but it's just to dragged out on kiddy issues. I guess this show is mainly for kids under 10.

If you are planning to watch it do not expect much as ain't gonna be like Gundam Seed. Lower your expection and you might just like it.

There's only been like 4 episodes released so review is based on those.

It's not like typical Gundam series.

The animation is beautiful, the story is okay, but the main character Suletta is extremely silly. Many anime have silly moments and childish characters but Suletta is on another level. She has the mannerisms of a 5 year old child. Hiding behind people because she's too shy, crying like a toddler, which makes it even more weird that they're dueling over marriages.

They've basically made what would normally be the comic relief character the main character of the show. This makes it harder to take her seriously as a pilot when you see how she acts, it's hard to believe that she has the constitution to go into space and pilot a mobile suit. It's similar as to how in season 2 of Gundam00 the guy's ditzy girlfriend had become an elite mobile suit pilot. It just didn't fit.

They've shown little so far as per the normal themes of Gundam, but Im hoping it will get better. Even the Gundam has a more round cutesy face than normal, because the pilot is female, and females cute, shy and innocent, right?

I really hope it get's more serious later on.

This show started ok and it went downhill from there.

Think fanfic level of writing and you are getting there. The plot was more concerned with shipping two characters than being a Gundam series.

The show is usually 80% school drama show, 20 % Gundam, not good at all for a supposed Gundam show.

At the end of season 1, it started to get good, but after that is back to the boring school room com generic anime spiced with robots.

Do you remember all that political drama from other Gundam shows? Here is replaced for not-so-subtle anti-corporation quips, with no thought put into how a world like that would function.

Score more than a 5 are normie scores.

So firstly let me say the good stuffs. The art and music in this anime is done pretty well.

That's it for the good stuffs so let the bad ones roll.

1. Plot. The whole plot is full of plot holes and a lot of the direction of how the story progress is due to chance/fate? Its completely random and I think I would shoot myself in the head if I am the author of the story.

2. Main character. Suletta is not an interesting person at all. They tried to make her likeable, but she is not cute or interesting, or relatable. I understand that there might be due to further character development, but I don't see anything interesting until the last episode where we finally see something going on but its too little and too late.

3. Other characters: The is no one that is particularly charismatic or interesting. Miorine is too much of a princess. Guel is too arrogant, Elan and Shaddiq are both too pretentious.

In my humble opinion, just skip this for now. If season 2 does pick up, then maybe can consider to watch this. I've regretted spending like 6 hours on it...
