A lot of the characters aboard White Base go through tragedies that bring out great development. They're different than a lot of the stuff you hear in today's anime. The background music actually consists of some pretty interesting and catchy tunes that couldn't fit the show better. As for the opening and ending themes, they're just kinda fun songs that, as you'll see, are for the purpose of Mobile Suit Gundam alone. But again, give it a chance because it's actually pretty cool. The sound is obviously old as well, so the sound effects have that old recording sound that really doesn't stand up to today's sound quality, so again the 8 is by today's standards. I'm sure it was five star art in its time, but I simply rated it a 6 by today's standards.

The series is from 1979, so do not expect top-notch animation by today's standards. Also, just to add, the pacing is exceptionally good. Our story of course focuses primarily on the White Base gang and their adventure, but it does a good job at also centering in on the opposing side at the right times and giving insight to their side of the battle. The tale is filled with elements of stuff like death, killing, family, friendships, etc., all building up to a spectacular finale. Over the course of the series we get to see their development together as well as individuals. Amuro Ray, our main character, gets involved in the conflict by boarding the Federation's great weapon, Gundam (I'm not gonna explain details because then it defeats the purpose of watching for yourself.) Long story short, he becomes the Gundam's pilot and a valuable member of the Federation crew that works aboard White Base (a war spaceship.) Now what makes this great is the fact that everybody aboard White Base, from the Commander of it to Amuro, is a total novice with little to no experience. Suit Gundam is fairly simple, laying out a brutal war between two sides: the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. So now let's see why this is an outstanding series. As you can see by my high rating of 9, I'm one of the fans that adored this series.


It's truly a classic series that has left its impact, or rather, is still making an impact on anime. Regardless, there is no denying it is a revolutionary title that has advanced anime as a whole. Some of us love and praise the franchise spawned by this original series, and for some of us it just didn't quite do the job. Mobile Suit Gundam, a title every anime fan has surely heard.
