    I really underappreciated this as a kid but I always remembered "Hey Al, I'm most likely going to die, but whatever happens, don't hate the Gundam pilot, and don't go hating the feddie soldiers. Because they're like us, you and me, they're just people simply doing what they think is right, that's all. I know that it's hard but try not to hate them."

    War In The Pocket is one of the best UC series outside the "Main Cast" story. It's one of my favorite and most suggested to those interested in Gundam, particularly in UC along with 08th MS Team and 0080 Stardust Memory.

    Totally agree, it's the most heartbreaking one and the one solely about the horrors of war and it's told in the 6 episodes it needed. And the dramatic irony is just perfect because now we are just seeing a car crash slowly and steadily coming and we can't do nothing.

    The ending song of the series really hits you in the feel too. Seeing those photographs in the end credits after watching the series really made me feel a bitter happiness as well.
    When I was a kid and watched it, it didn't hit me the same. Now as an adult revisiting it decades later, it truly is one of the best Gundam stories out there.

  • @GiantRobolove

    For me, my favorite Gundam show has to be the MS 8th Team. However, I see where you're coming from. War in the Pocket was the first time for me that I got to see how things are on "the other side", i.e. Zeon. I think this show perfectly depicts that there are always at least two parties to a war and that suffering occurs on both sides. Needless to say that this story was delivered in a very captivating way as we got see how a child expierences the attrocities of war. Also, War in the Pocket had the Kaempfer, the most amazing one-eyed Mobil Suit.
    Keep up the good work. I tend to follow a lot of gunpla youtubers, but less people who talk about the Gundam universe itself. Glad I can add one more to the list now. I'm looking forward to more.

    This series stood out to me as having the perfect opening that gets you hooked , the character development is amazing and hilights how thoughtful character arches can make these shows more believable as a distant future and not rub you as clearly a mecha amine...
    It hooks you with the opening battle, you stay for the diverse characters presented and by the time you get to the last episode you truly see how it's the character development that makes the mech battles that much more impact full as well as not having as many mecha fight scenes in the series

    I remember a video strategy game about Gundams and other robots that we used to play perhaps on Nintedo or Sega that has all the Gundams and many of the Zeon characters. In that game they included both Chris' RX78 NT-1 and Bernard's MS-06 Zaku, in that game they were on the same team controlled by the player.
    Perhaps in some alternate ending Bernard did not die from the fight and survived the ordeal.

    Great video definitely deserve more views!
    There are so many great moments packed within just 6 episodes. But my favourite are the parts about the time spent between Al and Bernie before the final fight, with the opening song playing in the background. The song itself is quite a happy and joyful song with lots of upbeat tunes. On the other hand Bernie knew he will probably never win a battle with a Gundam with his Zaku and newbie pilot skills, but he still never stop smiling to Al. The plot and the music choice seems contradict with each other but it actually highlight the tragedy.
    This writing style can also be found with the dynamic between Al and his classmates friends. In the beginning they are all like 'oh cool I got fancy badges and have family working for the amy!' Then in last few episodes we got scenes show Al now have completely different feelings about war. Al's friends completely misunderstand him when he cried at the front of the destroyed school is really some great usage of this writing style.
    To me 0080 is a living proof that we don't need 50 episodes to make some great character development or grant plot that blows my mind. I'm truly thankful to all who put efforts into making this manga and anime~

    For an entire franchise that's goal is to sell toys of weapons of war, War in the Pocket is the closest Gundam series got to denouncing war itself. Other series try but I think there's a dissonance between making gundams look cool and badass and not glorifying violence and war. It's hard to say somethings bad while also making it epic and awesome...

    I think unicorn is my favorite I love how the char clone thinks that getting rid of everything won’t make it worse but it would still be the same and I love the protagonist who doesn’t want to kill and play it safe but in the end killing has to be done and there’s more things but this is a close second

    My first UC gundam series i watched with my partner. Great introduction to the series proper (my first was G gundam). Al changes a lot, just seeing him joyfully destroy buildings in episode 1 compared to crying and wortying about his school in the last 2 episodes is heartwrenching. Its interesting how Bernie's Zaku gets those emotive scenes in nature yet the Gundam Alex is contrasted more as the threatening weapon it is

      Not really. 0080 is far and above better at story telling than any other entry into the franchise because it's focus isn't selling toys, it doesn't have Tomino's Newtype silliness (don't send me to Ideon for my insolence Tomino-sama), and isn't full of beam spamming and pontificating which happens a lot in Gundam. That doesn't mean other entries aren't great...but 0080 doesn't have the baggage a lot of Gundam shows have.
