We all agree 08th was a serious case of wasted potential, and a lot of that was due to the death of the director midway through.
Could it have been saved though? What, specifically, would have made it good? Was there a way to make the romance work?

We have a 08th thread anon, ask there before wasting thread space.

No we don't. I liked the show just fine.
I don't think it needed the Romance at all. It felt like it was just there to tick the box marked UNDERSTANDING on the gundam checklist
>>14913820
guy should have went for the underage pussy desu
>>14913820
Remove romance, go full commando.

Some of the series' dumbest moments were at the beginning, though.

>Shiro abandoning his team the first chance he gets to chase down a lone Zaku
>Shiro getting captured by guerrillas and almost getting his team killed because he couldn't stop staring at underaged pussy

Also I can't remember when exactly the director change happened so I don't know which one to pin 'I survived a traumatizing gas attack and hate Zeon with a fucking passion that will vanish forever as soon as a pair of tits comes along' on.

I'd pin it on the first one since they met on the first chapter. Seriously, she was not needed at all. The series would've gone better without her.

It's just a tumblr shitposter replicating their own shit posts

Yeah, but we don't find out about the gas attack trauma until after they meet up the second time.
I guess the damage was already done by then, though.

>the InvinciBall
Yeah the ball was a bit farfetched, but it was fun not having something blow up after being shot once. Especially since it couldn't actually defeat the experiment Zaku, only hold it down to buy time.
>Shiro abandoning his team the first chance he gets to chase down a lone Zaku
It was a stupid move since he was trying to prove himself as a badass commander, particularly because his squad had more experience than he does
>Shiro getting captured by guerrillas
Could've happened to anyone in the jungle, since the guerrillas hated both factions of the war
