I always hate how people chop up Gundam to being "WAR IS BAD". It's obviously terrible as depicted in the original 79' anime, but it's wayyyyy more than that. It's more of a tale about hardships shaping people, and how those experiences greatly alter a person (sometimes better, sometimes for the worse). Hell the "WAR IS BAD" is hammered into your head so many times that it makes me think this image was made in jest or just a angry fan who subscribed to the "Unlike other mechs, our show focuses on the characters." The flashy animation and fights are a bonus. You can have your cake and eat it too. Infact Gundam is one of the few franchises that actually straddles the line fairly between being a spectacle and delivering a strong message.
