my favorite gundam series will always be Stardust Memory.

...how?

Anavel Motherfucking Gato, that's how.

Yeah Gato doesn't make the show. Aside from the utterly awesome soundtrack and the actual mech designs, Stardust Memory is one of the biggest pieces of shit I have ever seen.

it's Top Gun feel, the designs, and I really like the battles.

I actually like 0083 for the most part as well. I know lots of fans hate it, and I'll agree the pacing is awful, but that's a guilty pleasure.

Now 0080? There's some shit I can't stand.

like, the story of 0083 I have no say about, I don't think it's good or bad, but I'll admit it's something that doesn't make me hate the series.

plus, I just think the idea of a Gundam that straight up uses nukes is kinda awesome.

0080 has Bernie and a Zaku kicking a Gundam's ass.

It has a special place in my heart for that.

That's actually a fan design, according to Gundam Guy.

I hope it's true, it's got a very Brave robot vibe to it and I love it.

On one hand, there appear to be little flecks of white around the armor edges, suggesting some photo wizardry. On the other hand, the text is in front of the sword, an odd touch that would be unlikely in a fan edit.
