don't miss this one

good

This is one of the worst anime I've ever had the chance to lay eyes on. The reviews citing otherwise are straight up either lying, propagandized, or have not the slightest clue about proper characterization and growth. The obsession with high school children piloting advanced mobile suits, while it may have had its place in the past, is aging poorly, especially when your protagonist is just straight up annoying. Even worse is when the series had succumbed to western ideology, which is literally destroying our world. An extremely disappointing release that cannot in no shape or form be recommended. Avoid at ll costs.

Sapphic gundam is enough to get me to watch gundam. And it was pretty good. It still has anime things that have been so ingrained in the format you can't help but try to find something eye roll worthy endearing, and sometimes I can do that. Sometimes though, stuff does not make sense because the priority is to surprise the viewer. So, watch this when you're in the mood to allow a lot of hand waves and want The Mood. You won't be sorry. If you've heard that this is written excellence though, unfortunately this is not that. It's really fun and actually has some amount of queer rep though. And war is bad. Capitalism is bad. I can get on board with that.

Every week I force myself to watch this hoping that i'll get in on the joke because i love gundam they were the first anime series that i really watched. I love slow burn political drama and character conflicts but i just can't see what other people see here - its animated beautifully theres some solid moments the op/ed are fantastic for both seasons. I've never tried so hard to like an anime i don't care about lol then every week all of the comments and all of the reviews are like - oh wow greatest anime ever im a train wreck of emotions like i get everyone has different tastes but I dont see how this is being clocked so differently from one side to the other im not sure what i missed.

The prologue really set the stage for this. But wow did this go south really quickly. Some naïve girl gets a gundam. Some "wacky" space school shenanigans. The end. There's some teenage drama nonsense in it, but this is a far cry from Iron Blood Orphans or Endless Waltz. If you're a fan of magic girls (albeit with gundams instead of wands) then you'll love this. This show feel more of a fanfiction that was licenced more than actually being anything to do with Gundam Wing. If the MC & schoolfriends were written out and we actually focussed on the background story of what was going (the actual intrigue and political unrest etc..) then it would be good. If you like your story to make sense or love the old school Gundam, then this is not for you.
