Review: Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin Volume I: Activation

9/9/2015

Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN volume 1: Activation by Yoshiyuki Tomino
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maybe more of a 3.5, I can't seem to decide. I am a sucker for a good Gundam story, but I think the best are based on good characters AND awesome battle scenes. This definitely has the latter but I'm not feeling super connected to any of the characters...and the 'villains' and potential love triangle feel too reminiscent of certain other Gundam series for me to feel confident in the originality of this origin story.

It is definitely cool though. 100% fighting robots in space cool.
