Last night I had downloaded the latest in the Gundam series. At first I was a bit shaky about it being put into OVAs and the art style scared me a bit. I'm a fan of the old Gundam art, but after watching 00 and seeing how great that art style was I was a bit upset. I understand that they're pretty much going back in time and they wanted to keep the same art style.
Well I sat down this afternoon between classes to watch it. That was 57 min and 52 sec well worth my time. The art style works really well now that I watched in the hi-def and saw that they used the same style but made it crisper and more enjoyable. And the mechs although slightly different since the original Zeon era are fan-effing-tastic. I was really impressed with the new Zaku type models. And the OVA are surprisingly a good format for this series. I think if they had put it into episodes it wouldn't flow as nicely and it would take to long for the plot to develop.
I will be anxiously awaiting the next one too actually see Unicorn to kick some ass.
UPDATE: I just noticed that the new series of gundam is not being done by Bandai, but by Sunrise instead... Could this be better for Gundam fans alike.. Because I despise Bandai.. Just a personal opinion...
