Some of them are fine with it, while some wanted it to be traditionally animated instead.
Degwin accuses him of withholding reinforcements from Solomon knowing full well that Dozle would fight to the end rather than retreat while Gihren counters that he sent the Big Zam and that it was Dozle's fault for staying in the fight. Did Gihren deliberately leave Dozle to die at Solomon? Kycilia explicitly does as a means to remove a potential enemy but it's not as clear with Gihren.Gihren and Dozle felt that it could whilst Kai and Kycilia felt that Jaburo's defenses were strong enough to protect it. Even beyond that there's a few debates in universe as to whether Operation British could have destroyed Jaburo had it succeeded. Or it could be the Federation's interference with Tianem shelling the Colony with his fleet as it fell which could have damaged it to the point it broke up in atmosphere.
It could have been doomed to failure from conception, however, with Gihren's team not properly accounting for how much damage atmospheric entry would do to the Colony. It could have been that the rushed execution ended up making the Colony fall at a rate too quick with too short of an orbital decay causing its destruction. Why did Operation British fail? It could have been a failure in execution Dozle rushed the procedure because of Tianem's advance and the drilling and engine set up may have compromised the Colony's integrity and caused it to break up in atmospheric entry, altering its course.
I often ask myself why a good expansive Hollywood adaptation of first Gundam series hasn't still be made.
Sacrifice to protect a friend, not to win a battle Įven being closer to war movie than to Sci-Fi, Gundam is still known as one of the most important and revolutionary examples of Science Fiction. But they always die for what they think is right. In Gundam people, lots of main characters, dies. And, in some of them, Fear will ignite boys' growth to become men Just ordinary people, youths throwed in the middle of a war they didn't want and still can't understand. Al these goods are often unavailable in the middle of the battlefield They need energy, fuel, ammo, maintenance, logistic, recover, repair, spare parts. Robots in "Gundam" are conventional mass produced weapons as good as tanks or choppers, for both sides. Here everyone fights to survive, it doesn't matter if they agree with war reasons or not. Although 25 years old by now, and cheaply produced at the time, this anime is still very enjoyable and deep. After almost ten years of giant toys ruling anime, 1979 was the Year of the Gundam.
