Hell yes. MS 08th team was my entry into the series, and dare I say the best of the series. That was also one of the shows that got me into Toonami. Fond memories of watching that show and listen to Daft Punks Discovery album on repeat during that summer.

I hope that the Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory OVA includes the English dub instead of being subtitle only, which should only apply to the Afterglow of Zeon clusterfuck film.
I might finally breakdown and give money to Righstuf for The 08th MS Team; I had to change pants after seeing how good it looked on BD. |

Wasn't the biggest fan of 8th MS Team at all. The Romeo and Juliet love story was hilarious in how poorly written it was. Besides Shiro,all the support characters were pretty one-note. The main villain was just generic,Captain I'm a Bad Guy. Then the epilogue episode they decided to do,which took a decent ending,and turned into a forced happy ending for the main characters.
I'll most likely pick up that movie trilogy on blu-ray. |

08th MS Team is what drew me into the Universal Century timeline with its moral complexities and modern visuals. I was convinced to follow the original series more attentively as it aired on afternoon Toonami. In some ways, it's how I became as big a Gundam fan as I am now. I already have it on DVD, but I'll probably get it on Blu-Ray at some point.
I hope they include those UC history shorts that were on the DVD release. |

lol they had some funny tech issues during that panel...spent like 70% of the panel trying to get their DVD to work. Never did get it working completely. They also mentioned some kind of DVD-to-bluray upgrade for an older title but I can't remember which title it was.

Some fair criticism, but I'd disagree with the ending. Yeah, it was kind of cheesy, but it kind of felt more bittersweet than anything, especially given how in the large scale of the UC timeline the actions of the main characters aren't too impactful. I'd also disagree with all the side characters being one note. |

Great to hear.
 8th MS Team is a series I've been wanting on blu-ray for a long time.

I know that the 2nd director for 08th ms team is usually cited as a reason for the show's writing woes but to my knoweledge those are just rumors. I've even heard that supposedly the show's writing had already been finalized by the time the 2nd director took over. As for the dropped character threads. Admirial Yuri is a bit of a cocky jerk to Giniahs in the first half, but his kindness towards his troops in the second half isnt necessarily out of character. In real life, people are kind to some and jerks to others. Giniahs may of had more backstory planned, but at the same time its possible the writer just never found a way to fit it in. |

Did they clarify if Miller's Report is going to be it's own release or part of the OVA set?

Looking forward to re watching the Gundam movie trilogy on blu-ray. It's the only time I ever watched compilation films and actually liked them.
