Nuanced storytelling, strong themes, and captivating protagonist makes this one of the best Gundam entries to date.
For many long-time fans of the _Mobile Suit Gundam_ series, the Universal Century timeline is a mixed bag. While it boasts some of the finest storytelling in science fiction, it also oftentimes overreaches and exemplifies some of the genre’s worst. We see it when it shines in the case of brilliant e…

Incredible movie!
The Gundam series and movies have been hit or miss for me, with new type powers occasionally going overboard as in Gundam Unicorn or NT. However, my favorite Gundam series are Gundam the Origin, Gundam War in the Pocket, and Gundam Zeta. This movie is the first part of a trilogy a…

*THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW*
As this franchise settled itself as a legendary titan of otaku culture, us Gundam fans have had to come to terms with the fact that Universal Century Timeline anime can more often than not be lackluster in audiovisual presentation, which causes them fail to reach the…

_"I boarded the Haunzen with my privileges as Hathaway Noa because I couldn't resist the temptation of seeing the cabinet ministers one last time..._
_...before I killed them."_
There's a joke I've seen a couple of times now that goes something along the lines of "Gundam fans be like 'no char's co…

There's only a handful of non-compilation *Gundam* movies. Of them, 1998's *Char's Counterattack* is the most notable. It serves as a turning point for the *Uni…

Tomino was done with the original Gundam. After turn A Gundam, he turned away. His new goal now is to do something different. That would be his current five part movie series that I plan to get too today. With those, he hopes to be able to deliver a new message to the new and younger generations. Of…
Read full review on AniList →A brilliant start to a trilogy that has potential to become a modern classic and one of the best Gundam entries to date
Mecha anime in 2022 is, for lack of a better term, dying. Shows and films are being twisted into drawn-out toy commercials that try to flash as many products on screen as possible. It’s at the point now where model/toy sales trump that of good storytelling. Gundam has unfortunately fallen victim to…
Read full review on AniList →Just a visual spectacle and an easy entry for modern anime fans to Gundam. This version generates zero interest in me.
I feel very confused by this production and I can't say if I like it or not, just that I'm extremely dissapointed. It's not a bad movie and I'm sure that some Gundam loyal fans can like it, but it's not what lots of us where expecting after the incredible direction the franchise was following after…
Read full review on AniList →A solid start to the Hathaway trilogy.
For a quick summery of my thoughts: This was a solid gundam film, if a little light on mecha action, that is somewhat let down by very obviously being just the first third of a story. If you go into this expecting an action packed film like thunderbolt or even parts of unicorn and origin, you will b…
