Synopsis

What was the tragedy that decided the fates of Char Aznable, the man later nicknamed the "Red Comet" as an ace pilot of the Zeon forces, and his sister Sayla Mass?

The two siblings' journeys, brought on by the sudden death of their father Zeon Zum Deikun who was a leader of the Spacenoids, are depicted in the four episodes of "Chronicle of Char and Sayla."

The Zabi family who seize control of Side 3 and lead the Principality of Zeon, the early days of many renowned Zeon ace pilots who later fight in the One Year War, the secrets of mobile suit development, conflicts with the Earth Federation Forces, and the road leading to the outbreak of war—all will be revealed.

It’s rare to see a prequel that truly transcends the original, and rarer still to see one that can do so while still managing to stand without having seen the original. This does both. If you haven’t seen the original series (it’s a long run and looks pretty dated today), this will still be an excellent introduction to the series with characters who have a great deal of depth to them. If you have, then you’ll see those characters come into their own and get the opportunity to appreciate watching them do it. Much as this is about the titular Red Comet Char Aznable, I’d ...

Deranged Genocidal Lolicon: The Big Origin Story (also this is the last review where I'm going to suck Universal Century Gundam's dick so enjoy it I guess lol)

Welcome to Mobile Suit Gundam: Advent of the Red Comet, a series that is everything the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy should have been.

Setting up the universe's political climate and eventually the outbreak of the One Year War, as well as giving some amazing backstory to Char Aznable and Sayla Mass, AotRC is beautifully made. The music is fantastic, there are scenes that are animated so wonderfully they made me shit, piss, and ejaculate simultaneously ...

Mixed Feelings

(LAZAROTH REVIEW - LONG - NO SPOILERS)

This anime is both Brilliant and Disappointing.

"Mobile Suit Gundam: Origin - Advent of the Red Comet" is a prequel anime to the first ever Gundam anime from 1979. However, the anime sometimes fails to feel like it is in the same universe.

Story/Action/Characters:

The anime sometimes completely goes against everything its retro sequel stood for. The tone and vibe are sometimes all over the place and feels so starkly different from the original Gundam to the point of absurdity. The contrast is INSANE at times, something that you just CANNOT do when you are a direct prequel. Consistency is ...
