A proper fight with real stakes. A veteran in a bulky suit not designed for close combat against a relative rookie in one of the best combat suits of the time. Its simple, relatable and grounded.
@@darkhorse744i think they mean some of the newer gundam series felt like modern YA stuff, older gundam feels more like war stories with just with kid protagonists
@@Ralfydee I really want to know what Gundam shows they're watching that feel like YA stuff. Outside of like WfM and even that had all the usual Gundam Space Opera trappings, but it was similar to Turn A in that no massive war was REALLY occurring during the series. Honestly the feeling I get from these people is that they're mad that we've had three female protagonists in a row but they don't wanna sound sexist, so they make up flimsy excuses.
To be fair, this is one of the best hand drawn series of all time. It's only possible because this is the last in a line of successful OVAs. It probably wouldn't be possible to have a full series of this same quality. But I'm so happy is happened. It's gorgeous and great designs too.
@@xerry7435 Same here. The love triangle messed it up at the end, aside from that everything flows so good, the cast is hilarious and great, battles and visuals are unbelievable with a cool military feel. Music too
It's easy to take for granted how meticulously animated these late 80s-mid 90s Gundam OVAs were. The modern day CG just feels like a cop-out by comparison IMHO
0083 is peak animation for me. To this day I don't think any Gundam series has looked this good, 08th MS Team is close but not quite as good in my opinion.
@@metalman3952 Yeah, 0083 and 08th MS Team are right up there as my favorites. Gundam Wing introduced me to the franchise, but 0083 and 08th stand as some of the best work Bandai ever did with Gundam. From the story, to the art design, modern gundam can't compete. WfM had some godly SfX and music design, but that can't save it from all the other shortcomings, whereas everything here just blends so well together. You can tell people who were masters of their craft and loved what they did worked on this.
@@Berserkk75…*What?* Dude, kids piloting the Gundams have been around since the beginning of the UC. Also homophobic much? Sure WFM wasn't great, but it wasn't the lesbo pairing that made the anime bad
it never fails me how terrible the pilots are at close combat. you are already locked in hand to hand, you are literally looking at the other MS in the face... just turn on your vulcan cannons and blast the opponent to bits already LOL. endless plot armor and fails!
Kou is not an newtype...he was an green soldier fighting an veteran and survived....you guys don't have the basic understanding of conflict....go pick an fight in the street with an trained fighter and lets see how you fare then
You could say this about a lot of other series but especially this fight? No dice. This fight has equal parts of showing the issues with fighting without radar guidance at long ranges and the awkward, somewhat rigid nature of close quarters combat. A few times Kou even tried lighting him up with Vulcans and they were either ineffective or they outright missed because you’re fighting in a 3D environment at high speeds.
2:29 the saber flip is rad as hell man. This is a top 10 gundam battle

More importantly no emo kids screaming
@@awanbiru-ride lol Kou was basically mentally a kid 😂
@@awanbiru-ride Gundam has been about kids being put into bad situations from literally it's beginning what are you on about?

Fan of Physalis... Love the zombie like head ..
Hand drawn animation is vastly superior to CGI. Fight me
I agree, it looks far better and you can feel the complexity to each frame but at the cost of poor living conditions of animators
No need you’re right

@@InvokeZeroeh i mean gundam unicorn was great. great story, great animation, superb music and ost
why can't they make gundam like this anymore...
All new gundam series is kids piloting and gays..
Yeah...."witch from mercury" is a complete embarassment...and its worse that its UC....
What? Hell naw. @@eyn85
@eyn85 Wfm was not great but wasn't it called Ad Stella, not Universal Century?
@@Berserkk75…*What?* Dude, kids piloting the Gundams have been around since the beginning of the UC. Also homophobic much? Sure WFM wasn't great, but it wasn't the lesbo pairing that made the anime bad
If gato wasn't piloting that big chunk gundam he would've destroyed kou easily

Yh kou kinda really sucks
That would only work for a mass produce regular Mobile suits which are not built with Gundanium alloy like these two models in the video.

Vulcans are not effective against luna titanium which is the material used for gundam's armor
