me and my boyfriend just finished Victory Gundam and wow, it really is just the best UC Gundam series (Spoilers Below!!!)

I liked a lot about victory gundam but I want to start with one aspect: the characterization of the enemy is at its peak here. gundam has always been said to have a sympathetic view of the other side of the conflict, but i don't think it's ever as apparent as it is in this show. the enemies our main characters face are portrayed more human than any prior gundam series, they have goals, dreams, and relationships. they love, hate, and are passionate about each other. it's even one of the points of resolution in the show's story, with the psychickers praying to see their families and friends, who've been caught in the war, again.

another thing i like is the shows commitment to slowing down and showing some quieter moments of the character's lives, whether that is grieving at a funeral, common banter, or playing some game. speaking on the funeral aspect specifically, finally a gundam series that devotes time to grieving. there are many funeral scenes in this show and they are all fantastic. it really drives in the weight and impact of the deaths that previous gundam series simply do not have.

final note: this show is also a lot more symbolic. previous shows were far too straightforward having maybe little bits of symbolism here and there, but this show is great at it. the story in this one isn't as straightforward, it's a lot more abstract, but that lends itself well to the show's themes

i'm sad i slept on this show for so long, it truly is one of, if not the best gundam series
