Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080: Pocket no Naka no Sensou
The Side 6 space colony is a neutral oasis in the war between Zeon and the Earth Federation. Alfred Izuruha, a ten-year-old boy, finds relief from the tedium of schoolwork by following the war's progress and collecting military memorabilia. When rumors that the colony is hiding a Federation mobile suit development program bring Zeon special forces to Side 6, Alfred views them as a source of additional excitement. But, as the Zeon mission becomes more urgent and both sides take increasingly desperate measures, he might be in for an unexpectedly close look at the reality of war.

I was way too young to appreciate <i>War in the Pocket</i>. In fact, I was only one year older than the main protagonist of the series when I did. My main reason for disliking this show was because it lacked giant over-the-top fights with pilots screaming at each other. After rewatching this at a mo…
Read full review on AniList →[This text is also in PT-BR after the English version] The events of Gundam War In The Pocket occur one year after the events of the first Gundam anime and follow a major espionage and sabotage mission ordered by Zeon's military, whose goal is to obtain information about the development of Federatio…
Read full review on AniList →War in the Pocket is a concise story that excellently captures the tragedy of war, especially through the eyes of a child. Unlike the more traditional Gundam fare that takes the perspective of soldiers, or at least a protagonist that is thrust into combat, War in the Pocket follows characters with s…

Read full review on AniList →In the hellfires of the battlefield, people are predestined to die. The tragedy of this reality doesn’t impact the dead, or usually even the survivors, but instead, the families of those who lost their lives. Seeing war firsthand can be as traumatizing as losing someone in it. In fiction, we often t…

I believe that given the current context, it's as good of a time as ever. This anime is one of those works that don't leave anyone indifferent, regardless o…

Soon there'll be an even bigger war, with even cooler mobile suits than the last!" 0080 is one of my personal favourites of all the Gundam side stories, and as the first major OVA in the Gundam continuity, it's an experimental, and incredibly enjoyable encapsulation of the One Year…

Read full review on AniList →Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Al principio de la OVA se nos muestra el asedio a una base de la Federación, cosa que terminan mal, porque al final matan a algunos de los soldados de Zeon.

Read full review on AniList →youtube(https://youtu.be/PhulEZUMrUs?si=WcMb0734TKjtGpbk) I have seen some Gundam titles before this one, but none of them is as special as this work. It is altogether different; I can compare it to a diamond among the titles the author has. I believe this is the final masterpiece of his works, and…
Read full review on AniList →What is War from the perspective of a child who has only ever known peace? Nothing more than a game, an exciting interruption to their every day, a new adventure full of wonderful people and cool new things. Or perhaps its the moment that the world ceases to become rosy and exchanges its shimmer for…
Read full review on AniList →I'm not into anime about wars or giant robots. But recently I got into _Gundam X_, and it totally blew my mind, and other people I know absolutely love _Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket_. Good news: you don't need to be a Gundam fan or know much about the Gundam series in order to really enjoy it. But…
Read full review on AniList →In my timeline journey through the Universal Century, I've decided to take a detour after Mobile Suit Gundam through the OVA sequels and sidestories, before jumping into Zeta. First stop is War in the Pocket (though 08th MS Team seems an equally reasonable choice, since it focuses on operation Odess…
Read full review on AniList →War in the Pocket is a first tentative step for the franchise away from Yoshiyuki Tomino and the opportunity to try something different. That's not to say that Tomino's influence doesn't loom large over the series; like Tomino's work, this is an examination of the dehumanising nature of war, and how…

The jolly holidays pull away the wreckage sites orchestrated by the vices of war to give more notice to the child-like air, playful despite the mischief. ___War in the Pocket___ took many steps away from the endless show of carnage of ___0079…
