Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX

The Animation and overall look of the first episode was very good. The Fights between the mobile suits are extremly good. The transition between 2D and 3D in the fights is really well made. For a first look the charakters are looking really nice and have nice personaltys but nothing really special in the first episode. For now the biggest problem is the explanaiton of the story you dont really know waht especially the miltarys talking about if you havent watched any other Mobile Suit Gundam series, but I think taht will get cleard up wehn the series goes on and more is getting explained. For now this is a really nice start for a new mecha series. People that like anime or robot fights should really give this series (for now the first episode) a try. For everyone else give it a try or just leave it.

I have now watched the first 5 episodes of this show. It started out fine, but it's been starting to slow down a bit. They don't spend much of any time explaining the Gundam universe or key events. That didn't bother me, since I am no stranger to Gundam. But people that are new to the franchise might want to know a little more. I watched the first episode in both Japanese and English and the rest in English only. While all of the voice actors did a fine job I realized that I didn't really care about any of the characters. The 5th episode was the most difficult for me to watch. It was very slow and too much time was spent on people sitting around and talking. I wouldn't have minded so much if there had been some good banter or memorable dialogue. On the positive side the animation and the combat scenes are both pretty well done. I'll continue watching it for now, but if it doesn't get more interesting in the next few episodes I will likely stop watching.
