Char’s idea of a diversion is sinking four battleships and winning a quick three vs one dogfight without a scratch. Technical advantage or no, The Red Comet does the Red Baron proud.

I love how at 2:43 it says "Signal Lost" for the anti-ship rifle coz he threw it to Denim

And after this killing spree, Char had to rush back to do a commercial for Toyota.

The little details like the Zaku's RCS thrusters constantly making adjustments when they are moving are very-very awesome

[BadSkeelz]

This is the best version of the Battle of Loum, superior even to Origin's own later, more expanded rendition. It really emphasizes just how revolutionary Mobile Suits were to space warfare by keeping the Zeon fleet in the background as sacrificial bait. It also doesn't make Revill look like a complete idiot for letting that same fleet sneak up on him into spitting distance. Here, the EFSF loses its fleet solely because of Mobile Suits. The EFSF does everything "right" but still loses because Zeon has changed the game.

I absolutely love the animation of the Origin movies. It retains the look of the 0079 series, but the color & shading are way better than the original series.

I really like how the mobile suits have mini thrusters at different points to maneuver in space

I love the sound when the ship implodes, such a visceral noise.

2:01 This guy just scissor kicks a jet.

[wither]

all it takes is a single ace pilot to put an entire fleet to shame. zaku's get made fun of for being grunts, but every damn time an ace pilots one it turns into a monster that even gundams struggle with.

[ghostmw]

I hope one day we can get a gundam game as detail as this

[zerosen]

Seeing Char ace the Battle of Loum almost makes me forget he got collectively wrecked the rest of the OYW.

1:25 PoV you're on the bridge of a PCA warship in Armored Core 6

[jonfitzpatrick]

As a younger man, i thought Char was the coolest here. As an old man, i just want to be Doozle.

[thanghoangsong]

1:08 damn look at all that vernier thrust adjusting to keep balance in zero gravity

[Kriskey_]

Thanks Armored Core 6 for “Breach the Karman Line” :D

[manuelmejia]

I know I’m not the only one that came back to watch this after finding out the voice actor who played as Char passed away. Rip Red Comet!

Battle of Loum in a nutshell:
EFSF: were gonna win this is too easy 😁😁🥳
Zeon: *deploys Zaku's*
EFSF: *oh shit*

[marcosdheleno]

i love how the bullet is breaking the sound barrier... IN SPACE... that's atention to detail right there!

people need to realize that he not even wear seat belt nor standard equipment for space ms ( compared to the elite Black Tri star with full gear on). Just his usual uniform and go high speed flying/ high G maneuver like its nothing.
