This show is good, up there as one of my favorite Gundam series easily (Unicorn is still the best). It's a new and fresh take on the format existing in its own new Gundam universe timeline with a fresh start. Gundam has always dealt with politics, so it's interesting for its take on corporate power over nation state power as the norm for the series is.
Edit: I do dislike some aspects (for a show about giant robots, you would think it would have more of them) but for this show is really going to bring an entire new audience to the Gundam world. I do miss the more classic elements that are missing (giant robot wars, hard scifi) but it's a great, fresh, addition. Definitely not as good as say, 86—Eighty-Six (a newer anime, and not Gundam), but that's going to be a very hard one to beat. This new addition is sort of a slice-of-life, but not quite, whereas the standard Gundam has politics as the A-plot front-and-center, this one treats the politics as the B-plot (which is surprising considering as its really good, and should be more to the front) and focuses more on the characters.
What appears to be happening is that they are putting out Weekly episodes on their channel that will be gathered in this playlist. We're currently on episode two.
