Review of Mobile Suit Gundam I
Now, I may be a little biased, but I really really love Gundam. It's one of my favorite things, UC Gundam especially. The Original movie trilogy is my typical go-to if someone wants to experience the original story, as 40+ episodes can be pretty daunting to someone who is interested in Gundam but not yet ride-or-die, y'know? But, I always lay it out like this- The first movie is kind of a tough watch in lots of places. The second movie gets it's shit together in the right places, and is pretty dang enjoyable! I have requested in my will that I am buried with a copy ofthe third movie.
This movie is a tough watch- it's pacing is odd, as it tries to capture as much as it can in a short amount of time. That's just the nature of a compilation, I can't fault it too hard! I doubt I could do it better, in fact! But, in my opinion, this movie is slow going, but with the two that come after it, I'd recommend powering through! Hey, you might even end up liking it a lot more than me! :D
