8th MS team episodes 1 and 2

And now back to 0079. Episode 1 was pretty basic, introducing the main characters and doing some cool small-scale space stuff. That female pilot is hot though. That episode had the best fight scene between a GM and a Zaku ever.

Episode 2 was showing the main character proving himself and some more character introductions. It looks like they're using Mark-IIs just from the design and color scheme of them but they're actually using RX-79s. I also find it kinda weird that its supposed to be this gritty war scenario deep in a southeast asia jungle but all of the mobile suits make all the same noises from 0079 Gundam. Its unintentionally funny in a way to hear these cartoony sound effects in the middle of an even more grounded situation like this. Also, titties!

The animation is quite literally, amazing. Even on the simpler suits like the GM and Zakus, you can see loads of detail and refined panels. the Gundams looked especially clean and give a shine and panel shape that only later 2000s series could match.

I'm also watching the dubbed version and while the voice acting isn't amazing, I find that the voices all fit.
