The third set of episodes in this mecha adventure focuses on conflicting loyalties. During a skirmish, Shiro and Aina save each other's lives--and discover their love transcends their commitment to the warring Earth Federation and Zeon Forces. Shiro wrestles with another moral dilemma when he violates orders and aids a friendly guerrilla village. Although he may have lost faith in the war, Shiro has grown more attached to the other members of the 08 Team, in contrast to Aina's zealot brother Ginias, who is willing to sacrifice Zeon soldiers to get his prototype Apsalus military robot into production. The principle characters' battles with their consciences are juxtaposed with some well-staged battles between space ships and Gundam robots. Rated 13 Up for violence, profanity, and brief nudity. --Charles Solomon

08th MS Team is one of my favorite anime series, and this DVD is awesome! These three episodes are some of the best episodes, though I can't wait for Episode 10 to come out. When the Zeon team invades Kiki's village, you would expect them to be villainous, but infact they aren't. They are just looking for some provisions, and are kind as can be to the villagers, showing that there are good people on the so-called "bad" side of the war. And when Shiro and Aina are being questioned after being found in the mountains together, that was one of the best parts of the series that shows the true emotion and realism to 08th MS Team. I really enjoy these episodes and am thrilled they are out on DVD. Don't pass this DVD up, because Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team is one of the best gundam series out there. Sieg Zeon!

The episodes here are good but the reason why it Episode8 isn't 45 minutes is because Cartoon Network broadcast some parts from Miller's Report (The 08th Ms Team Movie recap) which had some more footage

This has some of the best parts to the movie with the crash landing on the mountain and the subsuqent things needed to be done to survive being the best. This is series is a must have for any true anime fan, even if you aren't in to mecha battles. I wish they had done more the 13 episodes for this, and can't wait for the ending. If you have only seen this series on cartoon network, get the dvd, you will be amazed at what was edited.

Taking place in the year Universal Century 0079 (Same time as the original "Mobile Suit Gundam") Mobile Suit Gundam: 8th Mobile Suit Team tells the story of Shiro Armada and his team of Mobile Suit Pilots, for those wondering 8th MS is a great thing to watch if you are just now getting into Gundam. Now most Gundam series tell the story of a 15 year old Dragged into the war and how he and his friends win the war, 8th ms team is the opposite, it actually documents what the "regular" people were like in the time, they use regular robots that do not have the power to take down an entire fleet, and they fight against other regular robots like "Zaku II's". With that said you get to watch the team do various operations, like freeing a town from the control of ZEON, or doing stuff in the desert. One scene I really like is a scene where they are actually preforming maintence on a robot, scenes like this actually imerese the viewer in the feeling that this is what being a soilder is like.
The characters also have human sides, Shiro is trying to prove himself and keep his dysfunctional team intact, Micheal (Spelling) is suffering the woes of a long distance relationship, and there are many other characters with "human" problems, the characters also are not imortal, there are times when their MS get destroyed, and they get injured. There is also a love story, which I find rather interesting, because it has that whole "Two soilders on different sides fall in love." feel.Would I suguest it? YES! to everyone. 8th ms team really shows what it would be like to be a grunt in the earth federation army, and also has a nice love story in it.

One of the best! I've seen a pretty good amount of anime and this is at the top of my list. I recently purchased the complete dvd box set. The subtitles (stink) so I think I'll buy Bandai's dvd set to get the full experience. For those of you that were introduced to Gundam through Gundam Wing will be in for a surprise. Buy this series immediatly it's worth the money!
