Are you kidding. It looks a hundred times better than Gundam.
The animation in MSG is atrocious, even by the standards of the time.

>>138857969

Saving budget.
Have you seen Saint Seiya? Lots of recap of the last 5 episodes at the begning, and a shit ton flashbacks during the episode.
If you cut all the the repeated scenes you could probably shorten the series to from 114 to 70 episodes or even less.

Designed for TV viewing in the 80s. Not like today where everyone can watch anything whenever they want. If you missed episodes here or there, it's nice to know what happened. Not like you could just go on the internet and check either.

Budget too.

I really liked Hikaru's dream episode.

The dream episode was 10/10 though.

I seem to remember one of those recap episodes was actually important

>>138862796
that's the dream episode.

>>138857969
There's pretty much only one reason for the existence of recap episodes: they didn't manage to finish the actual episode in time. Also, two is nothing; try watching X-Bomber.
