RE: Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt Season One Review

in #film7 years ago

Thanks for the review! I just finished watching MSG: Iron Blood Orphans, which was also well done, if seriously dark as it deals with child soldiers. I may have to try checking out Thunderbolt soon!

Sort:  

I'll have to check Iron Blood Orphans out. I really like the dark tone of Thunderbolt because of that extra layer of narrative that justifies all the cool action scenes. It shows there really is motive behind character's actions and not just action for the sake of action.

I'm right there with you! There's still lighthearted silliness at times, but the underlying story and character building intertwines interplanetary politics, mercenaries, and the economy and psychology of war that these kids are living and trying to survive in. So not just another mindless action show!

It feels good to finally have all these series within the Gundam universe to check out, after all these years of neglecting it.

If you know of any others I should check out, go crazy, please!
