Development: 5</B></div> <div> Sure we know a lot about the characters, but do they really develop?</div> <bR> <div> <B>Sexuality: 4</B></div> <div> I saw a nudity scene in there.  Two of them.  Of course, there was... uh, that'll come later.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Romance: 8</B></div> <div> A lot in there between the couple that was mentioned before.  Of course, the plausibility and corniness is a different thing.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Drama: 6</B></div> <div> When something is based on war, there has to be a reasonable amount of drama including sacrifice and conflict.  Not too much kickassedness for a Gundam series.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Action: 7</B></div> <div> I didn't see too much violence, though I did see the killing and acts of terrorism, etc.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Comedy: 4</B></div> <div> Just added in there to make it a little more enjoyable.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub</B></div> <div> <B>Dub Voices: 9</B></div> <div> One thing wrong: Shiro sounded a little too corny when it came to his love lines.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub Music: I Don't Know</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub Lines: 8</B></div> <div> Like I said, there was just these two dumb lines.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Censorship: </B></div> <div> Digital Painting and I think some cuts.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Basically, Toonami knows that gundam will bring in the good bucks they need to survive, so they brought along a short yet enjoyable series for the 5:00 slot.  It's a nice story of the 08th team and the characters in that team that have unique situations and stories behind them.  I know you just gotta love 'em or at least love one of 'em.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that the unique characters are the selling point.  Also, the animation looks clean and is pleasing to the eye.  Probably a nice DVD.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>That's my Story and I'm Sticking to it!</I></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
