    The Gundam equivalent of turning Spock's Brain into a full movie. I'm glad Yasuhiko got to make another Gundam movie, and I'm glad he seemed to have fun with it. Plus, it's nice to see the OG characters goofing around. But, this is still a 1 hour and 40 minute adaptation…

    Episode 15 of the original GUNDAM television show (1979) is infamous for having a bunch of animation errors, which, the story goes, is why the show's creator demanded that the episode not re-air and remain unreleased officially in international markets (If you look at…

    Nice to see Yas in late-style chill mode, throwing on some retro flavored tunes, making space for kid/goat hijinks, and really taking the time to let these gorgeously animated island vistas be explored and soaked in. It’s a pretty enjoyable, if slight experience. The only…

    You can almost hear the creaking of the "We want to remake 0079" dam, desperate to burst, all the way through this. Somehow the dam has held for over 40 years, forcing Sunrise to adapt everything else they can. Even so, who would have predicted this? I would love to see the…

    Shoutout to the couple (and only other people in the theater) who audibly giggled whenever Haro was on screen.

    I remain rather unconvinced of Yaz as any particularly great storyteller and think he’s better strictly as an artist/animator than a writer/director.  I’ve seen Giant Gorg, The Origin OVA series and now this, and all of them I feel the same about, equally mild on. I feel…

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island

    Rating: 8/10 ⭐️ I expected a filler remake, but its emotional, anti-war weight caught me off guard. What Worked: Expanding a 20-minute episode gives the story room to breathe. Blending 2D art with CGI mecha gives the Mobile Suits tactile weight. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing Doan desert…

    Great CGI but not enough Amuro or Gundam. Also the English Dub is cringe.

    Great Gundam movie. It’s too bad Mobile Suit Gundam episode 15 was never released in America.
