I’m not a big Gundam guy at all – the only Gundam I’m familiar with is the original series – but I got a bit interested for this new series when I saw mention that it was director by Tomino (creator of the original series), and from the trailer it did have an old-school feel to it. I watched the first episode, and it didn’t really grab me. There is something to the animation style that makes it feel out-of-time – doesn’t have the slickness of modern anime – but I just wasn’t really interested in what was happening, or the characters. Oh well.
