-Animation-
Some of the absolute best space and all around mecha battles that I have seen, the movement of humans is realistic. Many Gundam fans I have spoken to feel that this is the best animation of any Gundam series to date.
Score: 10 of 10 (A)
-Story line/Plot-
If it didn't have the classic plot points of all gundam series, one could argues that the storyline is fairly clear and simple, however, there are some things that may seem slight, but add a great deal.
Score: 9 of 10 (B)
-Characters-
There are a wide variety of personalities and characteristics throught the series. We have a wise mentor, a proud warrior, a deceptive woman, a drunken fool and some outstanding representations of true human nature. Kou himself shows us how he deals with many things that we all face in life. We watch as the events in the story affect the main character (Kou) and how he reacts and changes with these events.
Score: 10 of 10 (A)
-Music-
I own the soundtrack to this, if that gives you a clue.
Score: 9.5 of 10 (A)
-Content-
Yea, uh, about that language. It's very hard and there are some situations and certain characters that make this series not for everyone, It isn't that bad, but for the younger ones, It has to be docked.
Score 8 of 10 (C)
-Final Score-
Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory: receives a 93% A
