I learned that they basically ported elements of the original Gundam series here. Having an otaku for a director has its perks.

This comparison with 0079 is really cool. https://bsky.app/profile/yuyucow.bsky.social/post/3lmv6zp2gc226
Though I suspect anyone new to Gundam will be feeling rather confused after this episode.
New to Gundam person here and, while I certainly felt that there was big gaps, I was able to follow well enough to catch up. Pasting what I wrote in the [email protected] thread:
I am sure that I am only getting the surface level comprehension of this recap. Even I can tell that it was probably packed full of references to things I have no knowledge of. However, it was good enough. The one big question mark I still have from this sequence of events is what the hell happened to Char that caused him to go rogue? I am sure it is something that will be explored during this show (I am guessing it has something to do with the kira-kira vision that happened in the first episode).
Yeah, a lot of the music, sound effects, and some visuals like the ones you posted were pretty nostalgic. Was weird hearing and seeing them alongside modern high-budget animation.
Done!
Just wanted to shout out that there is also an active discussion going on over here in the [email protected] community in case you find this thread and wonder where all the comments are.
