Why didn't the show start here

In the original OVA that whole scene at the beginning was originally in the middle of the first episode. The space colony exploding was the actual first scene

So uh, according to someone in one of my IRC channels, unless they really monkey with the timing of the TV edit, the titular Gundam does not appear until the third episode, which is the end of the first OVA.

We actually just saw it for a split second

Are there any more cool fights until then? Because I might just tap out.

I will say it's a pretty series. I like the bit of 80s/90s influence in the artstyle.

Yeah, that's the one. I got it when it came out on DVD, though. There's a trade-in program, but I dunno if I wanna bother because the price difference isn't really worth it.

We should've gotten the Origin OVAs.
