    When I watched Thunderbolt, I was still rooting for Io even though he was more of a villain than anything else in the ONA. It may have more to do with how I get why he is the way he is since Io is fighting against the Zeon, who were the ones that destroyed his home colony, how self-righteous Zeon as a whole acts, the hypocrisy Zeon displayed during the one year war and after, and the fact he has to fight a Zeon squadron in the remains of his home colony which is nothing more than a mass grave.

      I agree he does give off the antagonist feel but at the end of the day BOTH factions have blood on thier hands, arguably zeon had more because the thunderbolt sector was an area for space colonies but they fragged it into oblivion and all that's left of it is debris and space junk floating around the sector as a reminder of what it once was.we've mostly seen through dayrl's perspective and his suffering but io had seen some shit as well, sure he's war hungry but he's the more open minded of the two, he can tell how daryl gave himself up to the pshyco zaku and he is just as guilty as the rest

      Sonwig zeta is overrated, yeah is good but will never be the best gundam series of all time, mainly because of the annoying characters that have in his cast (examples of this is kamile being a spoiled brat all the time, reccoa who betrayed AEUG and make a genocide just because paptimus is a hottie or katz being an obnoxious boy until he died)
      But dont get me wrong, I dont like this serie but I dont hate her either, but that doesnt change to my eyes that was a great concept being poorly executed

      MrFlunkorg what separates these characters over other series with psychic protagonists and cheery tone (despite the body counts) is how realistic they were portrayed. You have bunch of amateur kids being murdered helplessly by veteran soldiers. And how Zeon fears the Gundam. No asspull like space ghosts helping the protagonist or kids suddenly becoming a genius gundam pilot.

    I have a dulled my senses to almost all the suffering in Gundam years a go after Zeta. Now I just want the thrill, and THUNDERBOLTS Manga gave me that thrill. Playing my own Jazz while reading. It was amazing to see it get animated especially since it's as of right now my second favorite G manga behind "Feddie Hooligans"
    The show itself was amazingly animated, the music though really objective was decent Io's taste was better than Darryl's, and finally the action was some of the funnest to watch.
    I'm glad Sunrise gave us Thunderbolt, and I hope soon they can give us "Feddie Hooligans" later on.

    Why was half of the review just explaining the setting? It felt a bit overdone in the video :p
    _Thunderbolt_ happens to be one of the few _Gundam_ series I've seen this far, and it's a particularly interesting anti-war story. With stellar animation and a favoring use of music, the series is appropriately _disgusting_. I'm very happy that such a strongly unenjoyable story came out: it does have an a lot more gruesome take on the cost of war than the originally series (even though this had always been _Gundam_'s primary theme, one must not forget). I wonder how the show fits in the overall political situation of the country as a whole, though of course anti-war stories are always popular in a way.

    by far the best gundam series, no newtypes, no melodramatic moments, epic jazz music, showing both sides of the story, and not showing young children piloting military mobile suits, which actually makes sense, because what responsible adult would allow that, and also very good action.

    I watched Gundam since Gundam Wing first hit the US. I will day that I still watch it from time to time. That kinda began my love of the franchise in general. I ended up watching everyone one I can up to the original. On thunderbolt, I'll say that this one is complex and pretty dark in terms of showing how desperate both sides became by the end of the one year war.

    Don't agree with the "meaningless" conflict. They did lose sight to their goal, but the goal was still meaningful. When you save someon's life , even by accident, it's still meaningful, especially if that is what you was sent there to do, then managed to do it while doing something else.

      The timeframe of Gundam UC's One-Year War involved multiple fronts, with multiple plot threads on earth and in the colonies. Thunderbolt is about what was, effectively, 'the forgotten front' - the battle over the Side 4 colonies. It occurs alongside the original Gundam series, but in an area we never see during it

    I'm probably never gonna get into the Gundam franchise. Gundam anime come out so often that its like... "well... which one?" and I usually just end fucking off and going to watch some original IP of a series or a new season for an anime I'm already a fan of. Perhaps some day I'll see Iron Blooded Orphans since thats available on Daisuki, but the right mood will have to hit me to do so.

      +Dynasty Star To be totally fair, depending upon the branch of Gundam you're looking at watching you don't actually need to watch a whole lot of others - or any. For example, Iron Blooded Orphans doesn't require previous Gundam experience to enjoy.

      +Red Robin Titan Yeah, I'm aware of that, its just that the Gundam library is so daunting its like "meh, I'll just go watch Serial Experiments Lain instead"(which is an anime I need to see). I could also go and watch the original FMA which I also haven't seen, I could watch Eureka Seven which I haven't seen. Thats just a few and they're less of a headache to approach them when it comes to sheer material that I can watch. Know what I mean? xD Though I'm sure Serial Experiments Lain will be headache-inducing for other reasons(not literally, I don't get headaches THAT frequently).

      Nah. the "rouge one of gundam" would probably be Operation: Stardust memory. An OVA series that shows the reason for the Earth Faction 'Titans' being created and what happened between gundam and gundam zeta.

      It’s more like the 2003 Clone Wars of Gundam.
