You should try reviewing this one show, though it isn't about mechas. But it is about the beautiful story of a young boy who meets new friends while staying with his grandfather that teach him the meaning of life and help him go on the journey to find himself; truly a heartwarming piece of fiction. I think its called Boku No Pico.

The reason Kou was on trial at the end of the show was for several reasons. He stole the gundam unit three, went awol along with the Albion crew during the final battle. And he fired on the earth orbital federation fleet after the the second solar system attack. The Captain of the Albion was sentenced to death for the defection and Kou got a prison sentence.

0083 is good. Definitely shows what triggered the situations that led up to the ZETA era in the shadows after the one year war. Yes, it's good. Yes, it's worth your time.

Or a giant rock, yeah it does become a recurring thing to a degree. I do have to point out though that post one year war the federation doesn't "become" corrupt cause they were already corrupt during the one year war and despite Zeon leadership making themselves the greater evil (gassing an entire colony then dropping it on earth) the rest of Zeon had legit reasons for rising up to take down the federation. Ironically the Zeon's effort in this series is what gives rise to the Federation baddie in Zeta Gundam since by inflicting the damage they did here it pushes the Federation into granting a power hungry bastard his own special forces army ostensibly to hunt Zeon remnants like the ones here....spoiler they go WAY beyond that mandate.

My first experience with 0083 was so special. In the US it ran on the late night Toonami, which at the time you were lucky if you were allowed up. My friend and I caught the episode where GPO1 and GPO2 fight the final time, just after the nuke. Years later I experienced the story more fully through the Encounters in Space video game. This was how I experienced a lot of Gundam stories as the shows stopped airing. At the time, I thought the love triangle was a little undercooked, and needed to see the full series to expand it. To my shock there wasn't much more context... Still an iconic moment for Gundam and 90s anime as a whole.

The best Gundam series' are the ones that revolve around the grunts and front line guys (0083, 08th MS Team). It's believable and grounded in reality that way, pulling you in and making you want more.

Okay let me rephrase the first few words of the video, Gundam is a huge and scary franchise but not to worry there’s even different timelines (BULLSHIT), Now hear me out, those alternate timelines are actually alternate universes and have no relation to the main actual timeline that is actually important, so instead of listening to the bastards on KZitem who say you should watch the alternate universe gundam shows so you’re not overwhelmed by the content, (and instead you actually watch one show, and never get to watching the important shows and you gradually lose interest until you actually never watch Gundam again) What you should do is watch Gundam The Origin, the shorter than average show makes you appreciate the other important shows in the Universal Century timeline SO MUCH MORE, without spending weeks to finish it, and you get attached to the characters which makes watching the first Gundam anime worth the old animation burning your eyes (which comes chronologically right after Gundam The Origin) and then you get hooked onto Gundam and you keep on being addicted to Gundam and become a full member of the Gundam community!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched Stardust Memory so correct me if I’m wrong but I remember it feeling vastly important to UC as a bridge between 0079 and Zeta. Firstly, because the Earth Federation won the OYW so there shouldn’t be any need to dedicate some mass amount of resources towards weapons and military development. Despite this, the Feddies are not only developing a new set of Gundams but ones like the Unit 2 Zephyranthes that is expressly equipped to initiate nuclear attacks (which is a CLEAR and pretty egregious violation of the Antarctic Treaty). So coming off of 0079 SM really starts to hammer home in the grander scheme of the things the Earth Federation shouldn’t blindly be considered the good guys just because Amuro was the hero. They do some pretty heinous stuff too when they shouldn’t. Secondly, the entire Stardust Memory affair is a result of Anavel Gato’s antics. When everything about SM goes public it gives enough reason, enough of an excuse for the Earth Federation to introduce a new specialized yet independent leg dedicated to eradicating any remnants of Zeon like Gato. This of course is the formation of The Titans from Zeta Gundam, whose inauguration we see with Bask Om at the very end of SM I believe. So like ultimately SM isn’t necessary to get Zeta but it offers a lot of rich context and firsthand explanation for how the Titans came to be in the wake of Operation Stardust Memory and also how the Feddies were caught with their hand in the cookie jar developing basically nuclear weapons/weapons of mass destruction during peace time when it was outlawed period and universally by the Antarctic Treaty prior.
