I was able to watch the compilation movie of the first four episodes. Holy mother of Zod, are the kills horrifying, the usage of child soldiers in dangerous conditions that make Tekkadan's lifestyle tame...

SACRIFICING LIMBS just to pilot a damn spruced up Zaku and our hero (if you could EVEN call him that) blasting that guy who chose to lose his limbs with a Hannibal speech
There will be a 2nd season this coming March to the end of June, one episode a month. Knowing the Gundam franchise, there might be another compilation movie. I will build that 1/144 High Grade Atlas Gundam.
