Well, it wasn't easy but I got through all 52 episodes of SD Gundam Force. At least since the show was so bad and the plot was simple, I could just turn off my brain and watch it on the side while multi-tasking something else simultaneously.
The story revolves around a kid named Shute and his adventures with the heroes of the Gundam Force. They go around saving various different worlds and meeting all kinds of different people, albeit mostly Mechas. It's as barebones and bland of a happy kids adventure plot as you might imagine it to be. I can't see anyone older than 12 enjoying the show a lot.
The boring story aside, the visuals are by far the biggest offender of the series. Now I don't know how people felt about the look of the show back in 2004 but man, that early 2000s CGI that was m…

Please note that I am not a critic, I just want to offer another view on this widely-disliked series. However, I will be taking this review from the perspective of a person who got into writing because of this series and has a lot of sentimental value to it, and you are fully allowed to disagree.

The story is basically the "group of heroes saves the world(s)" trope. Is it cliche? Yes, but cliches are not a bad thing. They exist for a reason, and aren't made any worse by the frequency of their appearance in other unrelated works. The story in this anime remains concise and coherent, and by the end of the series, just about all questions have been answered. It's simple, but it's effective in its own right and that shouldn't be ignored.

Is it jaw dropping like the art of M…

To all the critics writing this was arguably the worst anime ever, 1 thing to consider: this got a full length movie and a second season. Total flops don't do that. ;) In fact, most anime never make it past 14 episodes and this has 52, making it one of the longest episodic gundam series to date!
When this show aired in 2004 on Toonami, I was not the target audience, I was just going into high school. My experience in the Gundam franchise of anime was Wing and G Gundam and my indulging in mass media anime was only newly blossoming with the dawn of Naruto to the west. I saw the ads, laughed with my friends over how terrible this kid-version series looked in the ads, and then, in my stupid 14 year old wisdom, I decided to watch it to pick it apart mercilessly.
Then I fell in love.
Yes, that…

Time to review another "blast from the past" or in this case a bomb from the past. I had forgotten all about this series, but I recently saw a clip and the sheer horror my mind had so carefully repressed all came back to me at once! This is SD Gundam!
When someone asks you the question, "What is your favorite Gundam series?" There is a "correct" answer if you want to be viewed as a sophisticated anime critic online and there is your actual opinion, which may not be the same. The correct answer is 8th Mobile Suit Team, because it is SO much more realistic (allegedly). If you want to invite a world of scorn and snarky comments to rain down upon you, join a forum of self-acclaimed elitists on MAL or /a/ and state that you enjoyed Gundam Wing. Now if you REALLY want to piss them off, state yo…
