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.
Really great movie. I'd watch it again if I didn't have a huge backlog of things to watch :sweat_smile:

To be honest the story didn’t really grab me…it felt generic with plot holes full of cliche moments…but I do like Transformers which is why it didn’t get a lower rating :)
That music at the end....so good and fitting
noooo, it's over (for now) :(
This episode was way too good
So good I can't have enough of it!
Animation 10/10
Story (so far) 10/10
Character development (so far) 10/10
Ever since learning Japanese, anime was starting to get pretty stale for me....this show basically brought my desire to watch anime back. It's that good :)
Rewatching it. It's that good.
Really enjoyable movie from beginning to end though I feel the beginning half had more oomph while they were setting up the story and viewers were seeing fighting scenes for the first time. The second half was OK and still enjoyable, but the first half was just better. Some special effects felt like they needed a bit more work for sure though
Brings back childhood memories :blush: this is an absolute timeless classic anyone of any age will enjoy :)
(I was just watching this show because of the nostalgia…was going to continue with Korra but wasn’t expecting a live action show to even be in the works, let alone released :blush:)
This episode was rough....that moment when all hope was lost
Really fun and entertaining show. The main character is so dumb it's funny.
Definitely recommend if you like Black Clover and are crying in a corner because it's paused (for now)
Graphics - 4/10

Knowledge of the franchise required? Yes
Overall an uninteresting story filled with forgettable characters…but of course, anyone familiar with the games should feel right at home since that’s exact how the games are…it’s all about the thrill of the hunt…works great for the games, but imo not so much for the movie. I expected more tbh…
Easily one of my favorite stories of all time. Read the light novel, listened to the audio book, and now I watched the movie. Now I’m just missing the manga.
This story is just too good…. Now that I finally watched it, I can also say graphically it looks amazing as well. 100% percent recommend; 10/10 :sob:
I came in expecting to laugh at the possible bad acting and possible failed attempt at a zombie horror...after all this is the first Korean zombie show I watch......I gotta say....so far it's not bad at all...but then again I'm a very easy person to please so I will probably watch it completely.
UPDATE: Half way through the season. Everyone in the comments complains this is not so much about survival horror as it is about high school teenage drama. To be honest, this is all because of the English title being misleading. This is obviously about highschoolers and maybe I'm enjoying it more because I knew what I was getting into from the beginning. I don't read synopsis or watch trailers about anything but since I'm watching it in Japanese, the title for this show is 今、私たちの学校は... (Now, our school is...) so I could right away tell it took place in a school and based on the image I could tell it was horror related.
does it have teenage drama? yes, most of the characters are high schoolers and tbh I would not expect them to act any differently
is it about survival horror? absolutely, any character can be well in one episode and die completely unexpectedly in the next. A lot of times it keeps me at the edge of my seat because the show is not afraid to kill anyone.
is there comedy? honestly very little. I can tell they try, but it could be because comedy doesn't really translate all that well between languages. Maybe once my Korean is up to par I 'll rewatch it and maybe then it will be funnier, but until then I have to imagine anyone watching it in English will also think there isn't much comedy.
does the acting suck? well that depends on what you consider good acting. If you're into western movies/shows and think any kind of asian movie or show is cringe, you won't like the acting. I personally feel the actors did an excellent job. At different points so far I even shed a tear or two because I felt their pain.
Bottom line is: this show is about how teenagers would survive a zombie apocalypse....drama and all
I am honestly very happy and even though I haven't finished season 1 yet I can't wait for season 2 to come out already
EDIT AFTER FINISHING SEASON: The more I watched it the more I thought this would make a really fun video game to play...Really enjoyed it and can't wait for next season :)
Rewatching this made me want to replay the original game out of nostalgia:relaxed:
I like how colorful this show is. One of those shows to watch if you're feeling blue :smile:
Watched 7 times...nuff said
Typical male protagonist all girls are crazy about, usually knows better and is 10 steps ahead of everyone else around him. My kind of anime :smile:
Never thought I'd like this show as much as I do
