>but I do agree that it's a good introduction to the series for people who generally don't care much about Gundam and its usual tropes.
I agree, I didn't feel alienated watching the anime. I am glad that the animations studio didn't butcher the fighting scenes.
>You can still see some of the political stuff (the good ol' Earth-space divide being the most obvious one)
I didn't get this one at first, then later on I get the context of what is happening. I might be wrong, what I think of Earth vs Space is that the space people and flexing about they are born outside of the Earth or being born on the different planet.
>The fact that it's (mostly) lighthearted and the characters are likeable (at least those that you're meant to like) also helps a lot in that regard.
True, I like the character developments as well. There are small ones and the big one. The big one was Guel's character, he is an asshole for reasons. The second duel made him realize that he's just a tool and unappreciated then Mercury changes that.
