Synopsis:

Celebrating three decades of the Gundam franchise, this OVA presents an unusual assembly of iconic mobile suits. The narrative centers on a collaborative operation involving numerous Gundam units and their pilots, presented in a scenario outside the established canon. It explores themes of cooperation and the potential for unity amongst disparate factions within the Gundam universe. Rather than focusing on individual character arcs, the animation emphasizes the mechanical spectacle and tactical challenges inherent in coordinating such a diverse fleet. The visual style maintains a consistent aesthetic with the core series while offering a unique opportunity to witness legendary machines working together in a shared objective. This short film provides a glimpse into a hypothetical future where the Gundam legacy transcends its traditional conflicts.

    This will be very short my friend. 2 mins. only... and it's enough to be spectacular. There's no real reason not to watch it. It will take 2 minutes of your time and your gonna be blown away by the amazing animation and color they put on that 2 min. 30th anniversary product. As you reading this review, go watch it on youtube, there's no real reason not to do it. Even if you don't like gundam, watch it it's spectacular. Overall: 9/10 (no story, no character, one music, total fun).

    Even though this is pretty much just a short animated collage of all the gundams ever it is definitely still worth mentioning. For more information, this clip was for the 30th gundam anniversary, it shows all the gundams from each universe including the ones outside from the Universal Century. It starts off with the RX-78-2's core lander coming from earth all the way to space trying to avoid something from behind, they never really show that this something is because all the gundams are pretty much trying to protect it from that one thing... if it was just a Zaku II I'd shit myself because seriously, you'dneed all the gundams from every universe to protect you from a grunt unit? Nonetheless still a spectacular array of visual goodness, if you are a gundam fan then you should definitely check this out. nnThe art is really new, and considering it's only like two and a half minutes long it's no surprise that they made the animation as crisp and clean as possible. nnthe sound effects are exhilarating, although you can't really hear the music but if you listen carefully it builds this escalating buildup for the final gundam they display which is the original RX-78-2, it does the last stand pose, with all the gundams around it and it ends.nnIt's only two and a half minutes and I guarantee you that you wont regret watching it, pure awesome.nngundamoo!

    As somebody who has never watched any Gundam series at all, this was a pleasant surprise for me. 30th Gundam Perfect Mission is the Gundam 30th year anniversary 2-minute special. For it's short length, it's actually pretty good. Story- No real story, but you can tell that the mecha's are on a mission. Art- Amazing art, truly outstanding, especially for the time it was released.Sound-nOriginal sounds, nothing much to say about them.nnCharacter-nNo real character development in this short.nnEnjoyment-nI love a good story, this short doesn't have that. but that's as expected for a 2-minute short.nnOverall-nOverall, it did nicely for what it is.
