For non-Gundam fans:
This work follows the style of summer vacation movies. A southern island (no beach), foreign friends, a cute animal, a small adventure and success, and sci-fi robots.
It expects the viewer to know Gundam. However, the story is not flat. If you ended up watching with a child, you will not get bored.
The drawings of the giant mechs are excellent. It is not just detailed but consists of a uniqueness. The Gundam series developed a sense of speed, splendor, and flamboyance. This work, on the contrary, draws a sense of gravity and the horror of Gundam. RX-78-02 in this work is the Gundam that you don't want to turn into an enemy the most in history.
GOAT! You will see the essence of Japanese animation technology in the goat.
The main characters Amuro and Cucuruz Doan are neither completely moral nor unethical. It would be a good topic for discussion with children.

For Gundam fans:
This work is unique for Mobile Suit Gundam.
It is because that almost adults in Gundam series are disqualified. Amuro's parents are nearly divorced and have not given him a proper education. Char in CCA uses Quess as a soldier.
Meanwhile, Cucuruz Doan is raising 20 children in a twisted way. Moreover, he is active and success to save his children.
And what Amuro experiences in this work is like educating him to "become a decent adult." It told him to get in shape, learn to farm, and learn to live without destruction. It is very different from the conventional "strongest new type soldier" Amuro.
