Looks like it was a compression issue of some kind.

He was supposed to be a main character in the series but following the director's change he was dropped from existence.

But wasn't the change halfway through?

On topic of 8th MS team: Anyone want to seed the episode 12 of [eg] 08th MS Team? As part of Nyaapocalypse, I'm going to upload 08th MS Team to mega upload since it looks like no one else has yet, but I never downloaded episode 12

The story had a radically different change in mood. Near the end, the love story came to dominate everything.

Like, this is a show about a lighter version of the Vietnam War. The finale should have been a big battle and all the survivors complete their tour of duty, not Romeo and Juliet stuff.

Basically, everyone else ended up taking a backseat to the main couple, which is a really poor way of ending a war story.

Character from a 8th Team audio drama, which come with the original OST CD's, if I'm no mistaken. Not sure, but I think is something in those lines.

There is also this reporter girl who interviews Shiro at some point.

No traps

it's okay but could have been great

I tried rewatching it recently, but man even the early episodes haven't aged well. Shiro is too perfect; the objective of the story is pretty hollow (or at least minimally expounded upon), and the way it plays out is like a less fun version of Kelly's Heroes.

It seemed fun to me when I was new to Gundam, but it doesn't really stack up against the other entries of UC. I still like the idea of grunt centric stories, and as much as I dislike IBO its success should hopefully get Sunrise feeling more comfortable about exploring that sort of setting.

bad hair day

That being said, The Shuddering Mountain pt 1 was amazing. The fight between Norris and the 8th team is my favorite fight in the franchise after Char and Amuro in CCA.
