Reviews
Entry-level enough for young audiences to enjoy, but contextualized enough for Gundam die-hards to embrace
More than just a piece of advertisement, it is a love letter to the Gundam culture as a whole.
It's best as a celebration of what Gundam is and was, as well as being an insanely fun promotion for Gunpla kits.
