I Really Liked It π
-β β β β β¬- (4.25/5.00)
My Grading Letter Score = 85% (A-)
With this volume named Garma, it takes us through the entirety of his arc in the series, and it's better than I remembered from the TV series. We also dive into further struggles with Amuro, I liked the small arc with him going to meet his mother and her breaking down of how much he had changed for the worse in her opinion. Garma is less unlikable in this version, and I enjoyed his short-lived dynamic with Char.
Verdict
Volume 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is better than the first, not by a lot, but there is no debate that it is not. Garma's betrayal and conclusion felt climatic and very good. There is a lot of great art within this volume as well. So, with all that being said,
