Aug 19, 2008 ninjasan8 Recommended Story: Without a doubt, V Gundam is the saddest Gundam story to date. And before anything else is said, I think it's worth a mention to say that a lot of people die, and most of the time for no good reason at all. That aside, I have to say I really loved the storyline. However, some of the story arcs in the middle could have been left out, and the story would still be intact; a lot of the time during said arcs I found myself wondering why the characters were doing what they were doing. There's not a lot of narrative glue to ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 5, 2014 JizzyHitler Recommended Victory gundam is a series that catches quite the bad rep with it often being regarded as one of the worst entries in the franchise, when I was going into the series I was embracing for the worst , but what I ended up seeing wasn’t the travesty some see it as but rather a solid series that was able to convey some truly beautiful moments and messages that can even act as a entry level gundam as its pretty much stand alone from other gundam despite being a universal century entry. Now don’t get me wrong, victory gundam has flaws that has garnered it ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 17, 2010 MS06FZ Recommended Renowned as being the most depressing Gundam show, Victory is an odd sort of a series. At times it evokes the bleakness of Tomino's older works such as The Ideon and Zeta Gundam, while at others it's a humorous space adventure with wacky kids in the vein of Xabungle. The art is similarly variable, with some episodes looking wonderful and others distinctly less so. The music is consistently good, however, with a full set of quality OPs and EDs, plus a brilliant, poignant insert song or two. Essentially, Victory picks up the UC storyline long after even F91 and Unicorn are done and dusted, with the Earth Federation ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 1, 2009 Stormy_77 Recommended Gundam has always been a series I watch. I've always been drawn to the Mecha Genre, the newer series are usually awesome in sound/animation but that doesn't mean we shouldn't give a chance to the older ones. Luckily for me Victory Gundam was actually enjoyable (unlike Z or ZZ) Story and Characters Story wise, Victory Gundam follows the generic gundam story line. Young hero, happens to "fall" into piloting the "latest and greatest" suit. Gets conscripted into fighting for adults whether willingly or unwillingly. Grows up, finds his own reasons to fight/not fight which usually includes a love interest somewhere. Goes to space, comes back to earth, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 30, 2022 Thetrebekoning Not Recommended Funny Man this was a slog. So many problems but I'm too tired to go into it all. Scattered observations to follow: - The Music is legitimately good, and the cast is doing their best with a really bad script. Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 16, 2015 MoonTurkey Mixed Feelings Victory Gundam is known to be extremely depressing and for good reason, Tomino, the creator of the Gundam Franchise was depressed at the time because Sunrise was merging with Bandai and this is personally his most hated series and even said 'You are a fool for watching this' But as a Gundam fan I felt it was my duty to watch this and I can see why he hates it so much. While Victory is a 'kill em all' series, a lot of it was rather unpleasant to watch as there were a lot of deaths that were a little extreme like beheading, vaporized by ...

Jul 12, 2018 TakaCode Mixed Feelings At one point Mobile Suit Victory Gundam was my most hated Gundam Show of all time. I hated the narrative and plot of Victory Gundam. I hated the characters, aboustly despite the pacing, hated the lack of actual substance of the show where characters would die randomly for no reason in the show and I hated the visuals for Victory Gundam as it’s very poorly animated and lack any detail. Even if Victory Gundam had a great soundtrack I still despise it for being a poorly animated and written shit show where I thought Gundam Seed Destiny, ZZ Gundam, and Gundam Build Fighters Try were ...

Aug 29, 2008 konomasa Recommended WOW!!!! victory gundam talk about a tear jerker. well in this gundam series there was a lot of adventures and non-stop action. at first glance you'd think this was a kiddy show but once you watch it'll surprise you. the downside to it is alot of tregedy's. but i think they ended The UC era with a bang i was actually satisfied when it ended.

Aug 16, 2012 ggultra2764 Recommended Victory Gundam is another Universal Century chapter in the Gundam franchise, only this one takes place years after the events of Char's Counterattack. The series effectively blends ideas from older UC titles that aired up to that point featuring a guerrilla faction opposing the powerful dictatorship (Zeta Gundam), a young boy forced to confront the realities of war (Gundam 0080) and the usual conflicts of war that arise between humans living in space and on Earth. The series expands on the "youth forced to confront realities of war" plot element with Uso and other children seen in Victory Gundam joining up in League Militaire's efforts ...

Mar 15, 2016 Quiddity131 Recommended Victory Gundam is just one of the numerous shows in the Gundam franchise, but has the notable distinction of being the last television series to take place in the Universal Century timeline. While this is the same universe that iconic Gundam characters like Amuro and Char lived in, it is so far in the future that there really isn’t a need to be familiar with earlier Gundam shows (although you may get a little more out of it if you have seen previous UC shows). The show stars Uso Ebbing, a 13-year old boy who lives in Europe and is suddenly brought into the conflict between ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 23, 2018 LaLeLuLiLo Mixed Feelings Victory Gundam is really quite something, not as a show but as a testament to everything that Tomino has done for gundam thus far. This would be the last main universal century title to come out, and tomino last gundam show for a while before coming back but on a different project. The reason i’m putting Tomino in such high regard is not because he was the director, but also the writer for all the early main gundams. To the point that his very being is integral for him making these shows. With each passing title it’s easier to see the motifs, tropes, and cliches ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 23, 2009 DjNastyDevice Recommended Mobile Suit Victory Gundam is an anime television program set in the fictional universe of the Gundam franchise's Universal Century timeline. It consists of 51 episodes, and was directed by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki. Victory Gundam is set in UC 0153, and succeeds the Federation and Crossbone Vanguard conflict of Gundam F-91. Therefore, it takes place well after the events of the Earth Federation versus Principality of Zeon conflict (which could be said to have ended with Char's Counterattack). The greatly weakened Earth Federation comes under attack by the BESPA forces of the spaceborn Zanscare Empire; only the AEUG-like League Militaire stands in their way. The mass-produced Victory ...

Mar 8, 2020 digisoulwings Not Recommended Being a Gundam fan for years, the only shows I've watched in entirety were Wing, and Build Fighters, before starting a complete watch with my partner a few years ago. Watching what came before Victory was highly enjoyable, and I love so many of the characters and other series, but Victory wasn't anything like the ones before it. Story -- 3/10 (poor) For being a Gundam series, the story was driven by the MC piloting the Gundam, and stopping the enemy, which is every series' base plot. Why I didn't rank it higher was due to specific characters and influences in the show. The entire plot ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 25, 2022 Spirit_Chaser Recommended After watching the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Ideon, Zeta, ZZ, and Char’s Counterattack, next came Victory Gundam. I wondered how Tomino and the staff would approach this, seeing as though they’d have to bring something new to the table. I was not disappointed, and impressed with the amount of fresh ideas that were poured in. This is the culmination of his work up to this point, as it follows a similar story behind a prodigy pilot, and is a critique of war as in the original, has some comedic moments that reminded me of ZZ, and mystery as in Ideon. Taking place several decades after Char’s ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 20, 2020 BahamutGundam Not Recommended Preliminary (3/51 eps) I've been a huge Gundam fan ever since I watched Gundam Wing, 08th MS Team, and Mobile G-Fighter on Toonami growing up. I've also watched most of the shows in the UC timeline and I have to say that Victory Gundam is the worst one that I've watched. At this point, the plot feels the same as some of the previous UC entries with nothing really to offer with forgettable characters and a forgettable Gundam. I can't really say much about how the series is in the middle or end as I only watched about three or four episodes when I got ... Read more Open Gift Report
Sep 19, 2023 Armio Not Recommended A Gundam for Completionists The show is not very good and barely ties into the grand narrative of UC (unless you end up reading Crossbone). To keep it simple, I would only recommend this to people who are all in on Gundam. The animation is inconsistent, and the plot has no idea where it's going, it just knows that it wants to talk about the weakness of women and their power over men. There are positives though, the show starts off very interesting, and has some unique mobile suit designs. Uso is also a very cool Mc who has to struggle with a lot of things despite ...

Dec 28, 2021 algoPotaku Recommended Another gundam anime, where we see almost the same story. A young protagonist who for one thing or another has to fight in a war. At the beginning of the anime, the protagonist does not want to fight or kill people, this decession makes him one of the protagonists most committed to peace since in the other series everyone is as good as war if not I kill they kill me. There you realize the ability they give to the protagonist of the series, he is also a very sentimental person that I liked because it breaks with the gundam scheme of the flying ace ...

Dec 25, 2020 RauLeCreuset Recommended Preliminary (44/51 eps) This is the last gundam series I have seem that had anything to do with the universal century timeline. I was skeptical at first. Because I purchased tje dvd boxset off eBay, back in 2012. And I literally just finished watching it. So, it took me eight long years to watch this anime and I ended up watching the entire series on my amazon firestick. So, thus begins my review of the series. It's the second gundam series that I have watched that had to do with the whole crew being young children. This gundam series in fact, the entire crew may have been a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 28, 2023 vexium Recommended After having watched many an anime and not bothering to review one, even after several years of not logging into this account, so comes a time when, after viewing Victory Gundam, I felt compelled to deliver this abrupt introduction to the most misunderstood Gundam show to date... Hey there, reader, do you like motorcycle tires? Do you like bike wheels so much you wish they could fly? What about if they could tread the ocean surface and act like whimsically half-rotated UFOs swarming about the seas? And how about if they were the entire bottom hull of a ship, like one massive tank tread - big ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 4, 2022 Babineaux Mixed Feelings I dub thee, Gundam of Thrones. Seriously, this one is brutal, with gore, decapitations, and lots of death. In spite of its otherwise childish tone and visuals, literally no one is safe, so be sure to lock up your waifus and children. This is called "the most depressing Gundam" for a reason. To qualify this review, going into this I've watched basically all of Universal Century Gundam back to back in more or less chronological order, and this was the last one on my list. And boy was this an interesting one. There is a lot to like (and a lot to dislike) about this show. In ... Read more Open Gift Report |
