It builds on and also subverts the original Mobile Suit Gundam([[2024-12-05-Mobilesuitgundam]]). On twitter, the perfect summary of it by @SaltySpacenoid: ____________________________________________ *(https://x.com/SaltySpacenoid)* *Both Kamille and Char start the story with a defined main flaw. Kamille is impulsive, and Char is hiding. Because of this, they fail to meet the expectations of the people around them. It is through their relationship that they will both apply pressure to change the other.* *[* ** *](https://x.com/SaltySpacenoid/status/1756401142802624643/photo/1)* *[* ** *](https://x.com/SaltySpacenoid/status/1756401142802624643/photo/2)* *[* ** *](https://x.com/SaltySpacenoid/status/1756401142802624643/photo/3)* *[11:33 AM · Feb 10, 2024](https://x.com/SaltySpacenoid/status/1756401142802624643)* ___________________________________________ Tomino expertly develops the new characters and also fleshes out many of the original characters from Mobile Suit Gundam. Watching Kamille grow and Char ultimately accept that he can't keep running from his identity is a journey worth watching. All of the characters struggle to cling to their humanity amongst the horrors of war. Don't get too attached. This is the show that gave him the name "Kill them all" Tomino. The last episodes are one gut punch after another. I will never forgive Tomino for killing Emma Sheen. This was a series that further defined and cemented the "real robot" genre. It is also a great way to show how to do a proper sequel. I highly recommend it. A fan did a fake Toonami promo for it that does an excellent job of selling the series: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A_PkauxuNrU?si=OkPU4bNGJfXWJVYz" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
