Ensign Kou Uraki takes the prototype Gundam Unit #1 into a space battle before it's fully operational and badly damages it, which further erodes his self-confidence. Kou is haunted by uncertainties about his nature, his abilities, and his commitments. After being beaten by thugs, he finds an unlikely mentor in Kelly Layzner, a former mecha pilot who lost an arm in the One Year War. Under Kelly's brief, gruff tutelage, Kuo begins to forge a more solid identity, which includes recognizing his nascent relationship with engineer Nina Purpleton. While Kuo is learning important life lessons, the sinister Zeon Commander Cima is spinning a web of deceit that will ultimately trap both Federation and Zeon soldiers. Although Stardust Memory focuses more on the characters and their relationships than many Gundam continuities, director Toshihiro Kawamoto provides some well-choreographed battle sequences. Rated 13 Up: Violence, profanity, risqué humor, alcohol use. --Charles Solomon

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 - Stardust Memories (Vol. 2) (DVD)

Finally Bandai releases these classics in the US with proper subtitles and excellent digital post production. 0083 is a fav for most old Gundam fans, like myself, as it captures the essence of the original Gundam series with nicer animation. Of the Gundam works I like Char's Coutnerattack, 0083, Z Gundam and the Original Series the best. This is part 2(obviously) and I'm sure you can read the item desciption for a plot...

As for the subbing...well like all US released anime steer clear of the US voice tracks. They simply don't compare to the Japanese voices. They never do. I have no idea why US anime companies even waste the money :(

These actually look slightly better than the Japanese versions of the discs(which I also have). Bandai USA is still producing the best looking(compression, etc) DVDs of any of the US publishers at present.

They still have cheap looking packaging and even worse menus but I'll deal with those as the content itself is presented very well.
