Actually overall I enjoyed it fairly well from beginning to end, but there were some ups and downs and flaws of course the same as many shows and I don't think it lives up to the high standards set by Gundam shows of the past or even those of it's predecessor 00. I keep thinking that if this show didn't have Gundam in the title it would have been received as a decent sci-fi/mecha show but putting Gundam in the title now has more negative connotations than positive since it attaches to it the bitchy as hell Gundam fanbase and pretty much impossible expectations to live up to. I recall Tomino saying as much in an interview about his new project G-Reko.
