I've never watched a Gandam show before and only decided to try it out because of the intro song by Yoasobi, 祝福 (blessing, wishing someone good luck) which I really love and made me look up the anime in which it gets played (since it sounded like a song that would be perfect for anime intro and yoasobi has multiple songs in anime intro). Because of this I never really skip the intro lol
but on to the show itself... it is not horrible, but it's not great either. I personally don't love talking about politics and the relationships between multiple companies and branches etc...and that is what this anime is about at its core. I usually like to turn off my brain mostly when watching anime and don't like to have to think too much about political drama, even in a fictional show....but hey, it made me want to play mech type game :) (though every mech game I have played so far usually has politics involved so....I may just mute the story lol)
I will say the prologue episode really caught my attention and made me start season 1...especially the way it ended....sadly I can't say the rest of the show holds up in my opinion. I do like the animation though there are definitely better animated shows out there. Overall not my cup of tea, but I think I may stick around to finish season 2 since I don't like leaving shows unfinished unless I truly dislike them.
