i really enjoyed this view from the foot soldier perspective of a zeon squad. i feel the colony dropping incident should have gotten more attention, an entire episode or a half and maybe subsequent invasion to introduce the war. due to the severity. to mitigate anti-zeon sentiments, a montage of horrific and oppressive things done by the earth force could have been helpful in understanding it all. however, the series is very crafty in showing a zeon-sided vantage point from a smaller team not directly affiliated with the start of the war itself. i won't remove any stars for how enjoyable that was.

this game sucks. it rewards you for "playing badly," number one, which i hate in all games, like "hahahaha you... are a piece of trash player congratulations, which i hate in games, and it pushes "you are born into status and have no freedom" stuff ontop of it. like politics. f-you on many levels. i was attracted to the gameplay and even payed for the game after trying a "messed up" blood rage version that mechanic really really sucked, but others assured me just made the game worse, but wasn't in the original (which is wasn't thank goodness), but then i'm still greated with this horrible ideology of "people are born better than others" crap and then the icing on the cake was, "hahaha you suck! because somebody died and that's the only way to get this REWARD." like ffff------uuuuuuudge. you." yeah this game sucks.

this show is so engaging. the writing, the animation style, the music and sound effects... everything about this show is enjoyable. in the entirety of the series, i only felt once that something was off and it has a good number of episodes. that episode was when korra was captured at the end, and at the start of the next episode and entirely different group had korra. the only mention was something quick like "oh the earth nation got korra even though i had her." it's worth mentioning, because it's a bit jarring to follow the plot change. however, it doesn't disrupt the entirety of the show enough to merit a loss of rating. this show is definitely a 5 star show. every character matters. and the world that's presented develops in so many unexpected ways. care is taken. and the show truely represents a work of art. i highly recommend watching this.

best series that i have ever seen. waiting to purchase any available 4K hard copy.
