I think it'd be considered a "movie" and not an OVA, but whatever...
Anyway, basically its a CGI sidestory that takes place in the OYW. Brief summary of the first two eps: Quote:

Why are you guys only looking at the animation? The story was pretty good, for someone like me, who has never seen any of Tomino's Gundams, Igloo was pretty awesome. At least there no repeated cells in any of the 3 episodes, and the 2nd was was just flat out kicks ass.

Geez, stop bringing back dead threads. Make a new one next time. Anyway, yes, Ep 2's Hildolfr battle was definitely my favorite battle in the three episodes so far, mainly because the mobile suits look and move so much better on the ground. Great effects too.

I still have this thing on my hardrive, can't bring myself to watch it yet...For the same reason I haven't watch G-Savior yet (also on my HD)...I just have this wall that I have to jump over and that's 100% CG Gundams...I sneeked a peek at IGLOO and was like, "OK this can go to the back-burner..." I'm so judgemental when it comes to totally CG stuff...I hated Transformers BEAST WARS and from that spawned an unatural blahzzay-blahzzay attitude toward total CG stuff...I do like the Final Fantasy movie from a few years back and the first Animatrix short...I also think FF: Advent Children looks awesome, but IGLOO doesn't have CG characters on this level...I'll force myself to watch it real soon though because that's the only way I can be fair...
So I take it episode 2 is a new OVA?

Dude, if u judge things by how they look, then u're gonna miss out on alot of the classics
EXAMPLE =========> SPACEBALLS the movie, by Mel Brooks But ya, you should be more open about things, watch them for story with the bonus of action. PS MS IGLOO IS KICKASS, even for CG that doesn't match up to Toy Story |

Who cares if the CG doesn't match up with Pixar stuff... It's done on a lower budget in a much shorter time span for a convention, not mass public consumption...
And personally I think the CGI is great... sure the characters are a tad wooden but the mechanics are just amazing... They got the AMBAC effects right in episode 1 and the Hildolfr was just brilliant! |

And really, if UC fans can tolerate animation like those in First Gundam, they should be open-minded enough to watch something like MS Igloo... Especially since it has such an unconventional (though repetitive) story.

^Oh I have no problem with older animation...I can watch stuff like Fist of the North Star all day....I also never use animation as a crutch when examining//comparing Gundam series...I just have a basic disposition against total CG series or series where real humans exist in these obviously digital looking worlds(obviously stuff like the more recent Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate are far better because of budgets and are acceptable to me)...That's why I don't ever watch stuff like Babylon5 or Farscape (there are many more)...it's hard for me to accept the way it looks...I find it tacky alot of times and once I feel that way I can't take it seriously anymore...I mean I know what I am saying is not fair here, but like I said i will watch it at some point to be fair...
