Sadly Sunrise vomited this out as one of the most shameful and worst series to ever come out. This isnt just for the Gundam franchise but for anime in general. Even if this is just an ad its still a terrible one that deserves to be criticized. Theres no easy pass out of it. This is an Original Net Animation with 6 episodes to it. Each one is 3 minutes long except the last which goes on for 9 minutes. Consequently every episode makes little to no sense. I thought NT was terrible and yet this one comes to make that look decent. This was supposed to be a direct sequel to Gundam Unicorn and yet feels nothing like it. In fact is leeches off of the original Gundam more with random screenshots of Char. There is some sort of story here about Newtypes and Char a dry cleaner a girl her father figure and their love for each other. It comes full circle though nothing really happens to build it up or to make it meaningful. The first episode is the worst offender. From the usual tellings of lazy slideshow and still shot presentations to some of the most awkwardly timed scene transitions I have ever seen. At one point there is dramatic music playing during a mobile suit battle and then it suddenly cuts the music off to the character working at a dry cleaner. It feels terribly executed. Sometimes I just laughed. And yet what puzzles me about this is that there are people out there trying to defend this. Its one thing to be subjective. Its another when something starts failing everywhere on a technical level. Its fine to not like a series one doesnt have to see the best in trash. Outright say it. It isnt being nice but cowardice to not want to point out something is terrible just because one doesnt want to be negative. Criticizing something doesnt make someone negative. The battles are laughable. Instead of properly animating them it looks like the usual poorly made gacha animation. They take a drawing of the Gundam and move its lifeless frame around the screen. To make matters worse theres previews at the end of the episode. Why bother with a preview when the next episode is 3 minutes long? It doesnt feel necessary and takes time away from putting more content in the episode. There are also comical cliffhangers. Viewers had to wait weeks for each episode thats just laughable and irritating. The antagonist whos name I dont care to remember is essentially the atrocity that was Zoltan from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative all over again. Of course at the end its green glitter and rainbows all over again as something happens that leads to the characters opening up a dry cleaner business. What a strange entry.
