Mobile Suit Girls Shots: Raid in the Pocket

A Silly Parody take on the opening raid of the OVA Gundam0080 War in the Pocket. The Hygogg girls attempt to steal a top secret Grill at a holiday island... Will they succeed in their mission?
This 3 month long fever dream animation was more or less one of my animation bucket list I want to strike off. Base on an idea I thought up back when I was like 18 or 19 to do a parody animation on the opening siege of war in the pocket but I didn't have the skill or animation talent yet to undertake such a project. 13years later, I finally attempted it with my current animation skills.
doing this animation was an eye-opener as it forced me to figure out location and backdrop settings and consistency. I animated "Everything" except for some key special effects helped out by my assistant animator Nyangtofu. Background is still something I'm not the best at and it really drove me into a road block now and then trying to figure out my location settings, but in the end I did what I can.
In the end, Hope this animation dedicated to the Gundam fandom would enjoy it.

At the end of said parody, after the mobile suit fight between Bernie and the character piloting the NT Alex Gundam, a federation soldier describes what's left of Bernie as "hamburger" while the main character, a little kid that had looked up to Bernie as almost an older brother figure, looks on in horror.
