Maybe I am not a authentic Gundam fan, but I have to say this is the best Gundam for me! It is definitely the combination of historical review, critical thinking, and poetry artwork, which is really unusual for Gundam series. Looking back into Gundam series, of course there are many good work such as 0079, ZZ, 0080.....However, still, the balance between serious thinking and entertaining fighting is a hard job. But Turn A, I think, made it. I really love Tomino's humor and his efforts to depict daily life and conflicts. This Gundam anime not only rebuts but also surpasses former Gundam series.
Its isolation from traditional or orthodox Gundam's world system maybe turns some fans down. Especially Sead Mead's Mobile Suits design is the most controversial part. But one really needs new eyes to look at it. Just forget all you know about Gundam and sit down, follow the characters' moves, you will enjoy it, I promise.
Another great thing is the music! It can not be Turn A Gundam without the music! It contributes one of the most fascinating composition to Turn A's perfection!
P.S.: I am watching Gundam 00, the latest ongoing one. Gosh, I miss Turn A so much!!!!!!
