SD Gundam World Sangoku Soketsuden

 A ten episode long series, part of the 2019 celebrations of 40 years of Gundam, this "chibi" styled series is now viewable on the official Gundam channel over on YouTube.

So I duly did, and with about 16 mins per episode, that was ideal to watch on the bus to and from work.

Now, I must say first, while I think Chibi mobile suit GunPla look cute, the series, well, not so much for me actually.  Every character is a mobile suit, and they all have personalities, many not really hitting marks with the idea you have of said suit.  Freedom as a scientist... naaaah.

The story is that cities have been walled and being defended as a zombie curse sweeps the lands, turning suits into BUG's, mindless automatons.  Young Liu Bei, under the guidance of the old warrior Cao Cao goes out to stop this, aided by a mysterious relic that unlocks his inner dragon powers.

While they manage to overcome the villain, it later turns out Cao Cao has actually defected, in order to impose his vision of how the world can be saved from it all, mainly by turning almost anyone into a BUG instead.  So master and apprentice have to face off, with the fate of the world in balance!

It was as such okay to watch on public transportation, but to be honest, I wasn`t to extremely wild of the series, if not to say severly underimpressed.

If you like these chibi adventures, go ahead, but I can`t see much love for it from my part apart that baby Thorin loved the bright colours during the episodes I watched together with him...
