It was interesting. The suits were just EQUIPMENT, instead of some holistic bullshit like most of these series. Jungle terrain guerilla fighting tactics applied to giant robots.
The show was kind of like Band of Brothers meets Gundam. This 0083 and 0080 were the best IMO because they portrayed the source material in a more thoughtful and realistic manner. This series in particular did a good job touching upon the ambiguity of factions in a war and the tension during the downtime. Also, using the oil/fluids of the Mobiles Suits as blood was inspired.
