[Dr Kain]

We spent the day rewatching the first two discs to Victory Gundam so that we can finally move past the material we saw back in August. The beginning was still slow, but the out of order episodes did not throw me of this time around. There are things I also caught this time around that I didn't notice last time (such as Shahkti's song that Cronicle hears), but I still can not believe they made the episode where we finally meet the top dog of the Zanscare Empire a ****ing clipshow. Not only that, but outside of the first minute and last minute, the episode was an utter waste of time to sit through. I hate it when Gundam series pull this crap. Anyway, the enjoyment level has been raised quite a bit since the initial viewing of these discs.

Another thing I noticed are some parallels it has with F91. The smaller mobile suits, the baby whose mom is killed in the opening city attack, the female lead being the daughter to the villain leader, and Uso's parents being involved in the war so much so that they are pretty much absent from taking care of him. The only thing missing if a cheap imitation of the Imperial March.
