It's exactly like Star Wars, if Star Wars was all dogfighting and Death Stars and Imperial Senates and had none of that Force stuff

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.

All this explanation stuff is super loving boring. Really don't give a poo poo about any of the mechanics behind any of this.
It has occurred to me over the course of its Toonami run that Hunter x Hunter is really better if you binge it

Understanding the mechanics improves your enjoyment of several of the later fights, but yeah it is tedious if you spend week after week getting the details doled out to you

I like how they start the episode explaining how there's 4 techniques but then they keep going "oh yeah here's this other bullshit technique but no it's totally still the 4 exercises"

Next is Gundam, who gives a poo poo

After that is Hunter x Hunter, we're actually seeing some fights this week and even more fights in the next two weeks

Next week starts one of the best fights in the entire series, if you're lukewarm on the series please give this show three more weeks
