  • Tis the season for a classic anime! Is War in the Pocket a classic? Idk it's old so why not. Currently working my way through the entire Gundam franchise in release order. I'm on Wing and before you ask no I haven't actually seen Witch from Mercury yet. I'll get to it... one day.

      I wouldn't say drafted as there wasn't any conflicts large enough post OYW that would justify a Draft. Even Zeta Gundam wasn't a full scale war. Char's Counterattack Londa Bell literally took on Neo Zeon with what half a dozen ships?

      @@HolyknightVader999 Neo Zeon everyone in the Faction was part of the military respectfully so it's a moot point.
      Meanwhile the Titans pulled personnel from the Federation military to fill it's ranks. Mostly volunteers or individuals who showed promise or aligned with Titan ambition. Titans are not as large as you'd think.
      I think between AEUG and Neo Zeon only around 18-25 ships were counted regardless from the film/TV show. The very concept there would be Drafts is very far fetch. So that isn't a lot of personnel.
      People seem to forget how small the battles are in the post OYW era of the UC time line.
      Titan fleet at the end of Zeta numbered roughly 100 ships but it included regilar Federation and Republic of Zeon vessels as well. You never see that many ships on screen though so it's likely BS.

    My favorite Gundam is War in the Pocket because it really delivers a good "war is hell" story in just 6 episodes. No unnecesary filler, no annoying kids whining about adults who don't understand anything, no newtype space magic, just normal people fighting for what they thing is right. Also some absolutely amazing suits - Kampfer, GM Cold District, GM Sniper, Hygogg, Gelgoog Jaeger, Zaku Kai, they're all perfect. (ironic considering the meta commentary of the series, I know)

    I feel War in the pocket did the best at grounding the "war is hell, there is no winner" mind set Yoshiyuki Tomino had when he first wanted to start the series out. Sure the series has always had cool looking mechs and fights, but the show has also always had the ongoing soap opera like story between the character of whatever group we wore mainly watching.
    War in the Pockets being the first to show Zeon's view of things really hits hard.

    Finally some recognition for my favorite anime genre (gundam) yes I called Gundam a genre because gundam specifically focuses on its anti-war themes.. they strictly send a message to their audience that war = bad. Gundam made me feel something that no other anime did. Its empathy to every characterin the story... and when it comes to war there is no good side or bad side. The true villain in these stories is war itself. when it comes to war there is no winner... there are only victims.
    Unlike other animes when there's conflict :YEAH!! beat that guy kill em HOORAY!! The hero saved the day.
    Gundam when there's conflict :Damn it! It doesn't have to be this way.. its not too late to stop this.(main protagonist beats the antagonist. The protag gets sad and angry at the same time cuz he couldn't save everyone)
    In gundam at the start of the show it starts cool...giant robots fighting awesome. But as it progresses it gets sadder and sadder. Each victory feels empty.. like everything they've done so far was meaningless. Then they realize to end a war is not to fight in it. Its to yearn for peace for both sides. Killing each other is not the way. And I quote "We defeat our enemies by making friends with them"

      There are bad guys as mentioned here Zeon really is Nazi in leadership and racial superiority vs total democracy of Federation which is highly corrupted.
      Zeon doing all the huge atrocities.
      Leadership of Zeon must go. And element of this there is a true bad guy with very evil intent on Zeon side.
      But individuals on both sides are not into that big picture stuff and abuse by federation and living in space gives colony dwellers some Zeon leanings.
      Again war is bad effects on individuals and there must be a way to avoid this come thur.
      Later stories flip this.

    Best Christmas anime has to be Tokyo Godfathers, no question. Favourite Gundam is harder because I think every Gundam series does something better than the others (even F91, definitely not the strongest of these stories, has 100% the best opening sequence of any Gundam series, and Stardust Memory, despite being boring as shit, has more insight into Anaheim than we get anywhere else). I might give it to Thunderbolt, because I think it's the best self-contained story that strikes an ideal balance between "Zeon grunts can be nice dudes" and "Zeon is a fucking capital-c Cult, my guy."

      Why Stardust helps but the unclear nature of the end of it still confuses.
      Zeta without it tells why Titans created but does not make you feel the war on terror nature Stardust adds to give you the fear of Zeon leftover that created the Titans. The fact leadership of Titans use this to recruit want power to oppress others types to take power is shown but not explained well.
      Story staying to much at action level does not let you realize why the heroes of the first are allies with Char. Plus it does infers the hero of the first understood the desires of the common man on Zeon side while realizing Zeon leadership and Titan leadership the same power mad evil who believe atrocities and terror way to win.

    I’m a big fan of the mainline Gundam series 79->Z->ZZ->CCA. It’s probably peak anime imo. More “weebs” (who probably haven’t even seen a Kurosawa film) need to see this legendary saga. I got 0080 for Christmas so I’m starting it soon. I’m excited!
    Also love how AOT first half is Zeta Gundam and second half is Char’s Counterattack.

    Since you put Unicorn on that collage near the end, make sure you watch ZZ Gundam beforehand. Let’s say a lot of stuff makes more sense afterward.

    I've seen through most of the backlog of Gundam, excluding Seed Destiny, Age, Build Fighters, The Origin, and the SD stuff, but War in the Pocket is still top tier for me. It does best in telling the anti-war stuff without making it feel like a commercial and is short and succinct in what it wants to say. The tragedy and pointlessness hits particularly hard when it's a small scale conflict with characters that I cared about, more than any death in Zeta and Victory combined could ever dream of doing. Is it particularly original? No, but I don't know what else you can say about war without saying it's bad in this way, and it's the closest to what I envisioned Gundam to be originally, until the Newtype stuff. Also, no Newtype nonsense. I'm also just a sucker for most of the original Gundam offshoots, the Alex is a classic.
