Watching this for the first time. Just recognised something from the first episode in Gurren Lagann, I believe - where he jumps up, slices a mech in half, lands, and it explodes behind him in mid air. I'm 90% sure I've seen that in Gurren Lagann, so it's cool to see what the reference was to! Or I'm making it up and misremembering haha. Good stuff so far.

Seeing this right after Origin was the best idea ever. Despite the datedness, I am so hyped and already have a feeling for the characters, tech, and setting from the get-go.

My very first episode of Gundam, and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. So far this classic is definitely living up to its reputation.

@Spirelord I agree, having watched Origin first I feel more invested in the story knowing how the war started and also a better understanding of Char's character.

What a wonderful first episode, showing the maturity and control of tone anime already possessed this early in its evolution as a medium. Amuro makes a great impression as a Protagonist, the setting seems interesting, the action is serviceable, and we even have impactful depictions of war in the very first episode.
