areaseven Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) Kido Senshi SD Gundam Mk. I ( ‹@“®?íZmSDƒKƒ“ƒ_ƒ€ Mk. I) Sunrise/Sotsu Agency/Bandai Visual, 1987-1988 Sorry, Bandai's not interested in releasing this series in the US. Not Rated (Suggested 13-Up). Contains comic violence, nudity and mature situations. SD (Super-Deformed) Gundam is a collection of short parodies of the Mobile Suit Gundam saga. Episode 1 makes fun of key events that happened on the first series. In epsode 2, Gundam pilots Amuro, Camille and Judeau fight over whose pension is better, only to have their party trashed by Char. Episode 3 is the all-star Gundam Olympics, featuring no-holds-barred events with characters and mobile suits as the participants. Story: B+ If you haven't seen the first Mobile Suit Gundam TV series/movie trilogy, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam or Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, you won't get most of the jokes. Hardcore Gundam fans will probably die laughing at all the gags and toilet humor used in SD Gundam. The series even treats a colony drop like Monty Python's trademark foot stomp. Animation: B Because it's a parody title, don't expect high-quality animation like the new SD Gundam Force series airing on Cartoon Network. The artwork obviously lacks detail, but is wacky as hell. "Puru-puru-puru-puru!" - Puru-chan Soundtrack: B- Not like there's anything worth talking about.

"NYAA!" - Camille Vidan The Bottom Line While the new SD Gundam Force series is for kids, this OAV collection is for hardcore Gundam fans only. Otherwise, if you want loads of cheap laughs, pick up SD Gundam today. "BOPPIN!" - random phrase by anyone in the series Reference Anime News Network Edited October 2, 2003 by areaseven Quote
