Still the best Gundam launch sequence (0083: Stardust Memory)

[jimmyju]

what i love about 0083 is that it treated the mobile suits like giant tanks instead of ninjas

[dewayneeller]

Gotta love that Top Gun vibe from 0083

[craigarvanites]

One of the best gundam installments too, with a banger soundtrack.

Fun fact: the Perfect Grade of this kit has parts for both ground and space versions of the Gundam. And a hanger set to hold the weapons.

[jframe]

one of the best Gundam show ever. This and 0080: War in the pocket that got me into Gundam.

Miki matsubara is such a legendary singer oh my God how didn't I figure out sooner it was her.

[jonfitzpatrick]

I adore that the algorithm knows I adore this.

Stardust Memories ist best.

[shadowguy]

Thank God someone appreciates Stardust! This was such a moment for me midshow I had to buy the Blu-ray despite its flaws.

I’m glad I’m not alone in watching Gundam, I love 0083 the music is sooo good tooo

[rodneyleong]

Stardust was overlooked in the Gundam ethos for a long time. It's a necessary chapter between TOS and Zeta and it was done well.

I will always love how grounded 0083 and 8th MS Team were. They made the series feel more like an animated war drama opposed to a sci-fi fantasy adventure based around a guy with super powers

Kou is pretty cool, seeing how he actually had to learn to be a decent pilot rather than blessed with Newtype intuition.

Gotta respect the raw skill.

I remember watching this for the first time on Adult Swim. I had chills seeing the GP-01 reborn with it's upgrades and still blown away the Japanese voice actor is Ryō Horikawa. The original and still current voice of Prince Vegeta

[artemi]

The Kshatriya has an incredible scene in the start of Unicorn, where it's just straight up cockpit porn going over all it's monitors and keys and stuff. It's 👌

[tmwk__]

I remember watching this in the early 2000s late at night.

[Beast-rtjc]

The music is what makes Gundam 0083 so legendary

[SaxcatGamingCorner]

I love 0083. Great music and mind blowing
animation!

[linyenchin]

Have to adore how the animation simulates the sound and look of old CRT(cathode ray tube) monitors as his screen comes online. It has a nostalgic Fallout style pip boy vibe to it.
Weird yet warming to see the ancient interface in the "futurism" of Gundam technology.
I like how tgat flows wity the also weird 1980's type flow of mannerism in all the observing characters(that are way too closely clumped together like they are in some shallow stereotype of a military industrial complex).

[KatonMakir]

This rivals the second opening of Wing when everything's beeping and powering on with the music swelling up. Both absolute bangers

This is the Series that got me hooked on Gundam 🙌🏽🔥❤️……….In my eyes, it’s a Masterpiece!!!
