After War Gundam X review

This is a pretty good anime.  I am giving this a 7/10.  It was entertaining and has a lot of positive points but it also has its drawbacks.  Both of which will be touched on in this review.  


I finished this anime in its entirity.  It has a lot of good actions scenes.  I enjoyed the music in it as well.  The opening songs are fantastic and gave me goosebumps every episodes.  But the best feature of this anime is that the characters are all lovable and easy to care for.  This is the first show where I didnt completely hate even a single character.  Not all of them got their backstories fleshed but it doesnt matter to me I still like them.  Garod and Tiffa are fucking great and it is hard not to root for them to be together.  

There are drawbacks to this anime.  The artwork and animation are god awful ( I guess that is what you get for early to mid 90s).  It honestly looks like something from 1978.  The animation and artwork style look exactly like that of the show gatchaman.  The gundams look like poor mans versions of a few of them from gundam wing.

X and double X look like Gundam wing.  Royabea gundam looks like heavy arms. The older frost Brothers gundam looks like epyon.  I think Gundam X was before Gundam wing in terms of release dates.  

The story is a little weird i watched all the way through and still have a hard time describing what a newtype actually is.  

I enjoyed it a lot but I would not re-watch this.  It also takes a while to get hooked on this.  I was considering dropping this until about episode 12. That is when it starts to get interesting.  Only reason I even stuck around that long is cuz I read reviews that said this show as great.  

Overall it loses points for the aformentioned drawbacks and I would not re-watch it for these exact reasons.  But it is decent if you have nothing else to watch.
