It's okay. The animation is mixed, scenery and mecha are amazing, facial animation is awful. The story has a good premise in making the traditional bad guys the protagonists and the Gundam the antagonist, but the actual story is mid at best.
Pretty much. Writing is mediocre but not awful, mobile suits (and all the machinery, really) are A+, human animations are awful.
We're all just here for the mechs anyway. It's the same thing as a Godzilla flick (barring -1 and Shin). We're not here for the plot - just show us the giant monsters fighting, and we're happy.
Literally this. TOHO, who makes Godzilla, assisted production. From the way fights are portrayed to general feel, RfV is Godzilla Gundam and I am here for it.
I felt like they portrayed the terror of the Gundam so well in the series, showing us a side we haven't really had a chance to see before. They nailed that so well IMO, TOHO really put their magic into it and it shows.
