Oh, the Nightmare's real name is a lot less scary - its Anavel Gato. They're proud warriors led by the Nightmare of Solomon. These are not the cartoon villains from "Zeta" who gas whole Space Colonies for no reason. Zeon lost the war, all that's left is a small fleet of underdogs gambling everything on a final attack. One of the cool things about "Gundam 0083" was that they actually tried to give the villains sympathetic motivations. The second opening theme, "Men of Destiny" is less good, but I'm not complaining. I don't know about that, but they're at least as equally as awesome. Some people compare it to "Top Gun"'s legendary main theme, "Highway to the Danger Zone".
"Gundam 0083" didn't leave me wishing for every character to die, so it gets a pass.įirst of all, I am currently in a wild very hot love affair with the first opening theme of this show, " the Winner". The animation is not only crisper but the battles are better choreographed and give a proper feeling of danger and tension - its amazing how much better Japanese animation got in just ten years between the 80s and the 90s.
But more importantly, the characters here by and large actually are likable. With only thirteen episodes, every moment is essential for the storyline to move forward, meaning we can't waste time with moronic extraneous characters or whiny teenage angst. "Zeta" was just an endless repetition of battles without any kind of resolution. "Gundam 0083" is better than "Zeta" for several reasons - chief amongst them being that the show has a plot. So begins a grand chase as Kou and his Federation allies rush across the stars to stop Operation Stardust - whatever its true target is - and try to save the world. But luckily there's another Gundam, a more traditional model that can be piloted by the hero, Kou, a test pilot with a childlike obsession with giant robots. Piloting that Gundam is a legendary Zeon ace with the fear-inspiring title of "The Nightmare of Solomon"**. A ragtag fleet of Zeon survivors has stolen* a brand new Gundam prototype, a heavily armored monster that comes equipped with a nuclear rocket launcher. I mean, the year is Universal Century 0083 in the wacky Gundam calendar system. "Stardust Memory" is the prequel to "Zeta Gundam" and so is tasked with telling the story as to why the Earth Federation went from being the good guys in the original show, to being a load of jackasses that created the Titans. Partially because at thirteen episodes its only a fraction of the length of "Zeta" but mostly because "Gundam 0083" is infinitely better. In contrast, "Gundam 0083" here took me only a week to see through. I would watch a batch of episodes at a time, then get so sick of the show that I physically could not sit through another moment, ten somehow or another find myself returning to "Zeta" like three months later when I was especially bored.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 0079 0083 FULL
"Zeta Gundam" was so intolerable to watch that it actually took me a full year to finally slog through the entire thing. So last week I reviewed "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam", the supposed classic of the Gundam franchise which actually was pretty awful until the ending.
