FIRST SEASON REVIEW (Episode 1-25) RAISE YOUR FLAGS FOR TEKKADAN !! Honestly, i prefer the classic vibes like in the
Gundam UC-0079 Series, but this is still great.
i really like the mecha design of the
Gundam Barbatos, even though it looked strange at first, but after seeing it in battle, it's really good.
and i am very interested in their references in naming the
72 Gundam Frames from the calamity war. The gundam names are taken from
Ars Goetia, the first part of a grimoire (spellbook)
The Lesser Key of Solomon, which contains a guide to summoning and controlling
72 Demonic Spirits.
Gundam Barbatos, codenamed (
ASW-G-08:BARBATOS), is named after one of the demons in the
Ars Goetia, the 8th demon,
Barbatos.
everything is explained very well, almost all characters have their own motivations for their actions, even the minor characters still have their own perspectives. not every villain in the Gundam series is depicted as evil, but rather they have their own perspective on the conflicts they face, they have real idealism. for example,
McGillis Farred, he saw that the system in
Gjallarhorn was very bad, he did everything to fix that system, he sacrificed his father's reputation, married the 9 year old daughter of the Balduinn family, and even killed the only friend he had. he is not evil, he just did his job in an extreme way. and this is one of the things that makes this series so good
this series also has a very big potential to be made into a larger universe like
Universal Century Timeline. bcs in season 1 everything is still very mysterious, the Calamity War, Gjallarhorn, the Seven Star families, Orga and Mikazuki's past,and the 72 gundam frames from the calamity war have very few that have appeared yet, it would be great if they were discussed
i hope they make a series/movie about the Calamity War, because it seems like it would be very interesting to hear from the narrative within this series.
and for McGillis Fareed, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MARRY A 9 YEAR OLD CHILD??
