This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 - Stardust Memory (Vol. 4) (DVD)

After the release of the amazing OVA (A straight to video anime release) "Mobile Suit Gundam: 0080" Bandai realized that there is room for the Gundam franchise on straight to video format. And thus 0083 came out, now let me just say us Gundam fans have always had the joy of having very good graphics, if you have ever seen "Mobile Suit Gundam F91" it appears as a late 90s film, but actually came out in 91 or so.

Onto 0083, now you don't really need to watch any of the previous Gundam shows to watch it, but it may help to look up the story to MSG to get an idea of the backround. If you like action scenes you are in luck! Gundam 0083 has them in every episode, and may I say they are good action scenes. And I am going to defend the character of Kou Uraki here, people call him whiny, but let me remind you that Kou was forced to try to beat overwhelming circumstances after many of his friends died during an attack, and he was also struggling in his love life, wouldn't you be angsty in that poisiton? I certianly would. With that said characters like Kou, Keith, Nina and Cima are neat, but let critize 0083 for not explaining Cima's backround well enough, I can't remember it to well, so I won't explain it here, you should look it up.

The Mechanical desing is great, notable ones are the GPO 1, 2 and 3, and others, I personally am found of that Guncanon Keith has.

Overall would I suguest the series? Yes. To people allready into mech anime, and people just getting into mech anime. while the characters are no were near as deep as others, the action is good and interesting to watch, the story is good and I love the intro songs :)

5.0 out of 5 stars If the entire show was like this, it would be an EPIC, February 22, 2004

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 - Stardust Memory (Vol. 4) (DVD)

I'll have to admit, DVDs 1-2 of this show....well, they sucked . Poor animation, Shoddy voiceover, one would think this would be a horrid Gundam prequal (I say prequal 'cause it was ment to explain the events leading up to Zeta Gundam) in the history of....well, Gundam, so you can imagine the hesitiation i went through buying this volume (4). Once I started viewing the final episodes, I started thinking, "This is amazing"! The final episodes of Gundam 0083 Stardust memory are some of the BEST episodes I have ever seen (bar none). There are some corny moments (Caused by the music)but besides that, These are the best. I just have one last thing to say. They turned the entire 0083 series into a movie (The Last Blitz of Zeon). That movie should be coming to theaters this fall (Along with Mobile Suit Gundam F91,which is a sequal to Char's Counterattack) I have a bad feeling though, hthat the movie will ruin the siries for all future generations. Oh well, Best get this DVD, cause its the 0083, most of us, never knew

Peace out! Matt B.

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 - Stardust Memory (Vol. 4) (DVD)

this is one of the greatest gundams of all time and just might be my favorite only problem is the fact that it's only 13 episodes long. the animation was superb it had exclent vibrant colors and the gundams looked great th animation never went down even in battles it amazed me with the intense amount of detail they used for the show. the story was also top notch even though it was only 13 episodes they got a lot done, it made sense, and the characters couldn't have been better. this show had action, romance, suspense, and a little bit of comedy all rolled into one show. Also there were a few scenes in the show that were pretty tear jerking like farewell to Lt. Burning man that one chokes me up every time. it's a great show and i'd recomend it to gundam fans, anime fans, and the curious.
