The third Mobile Suit Gundam movie is just as good as the first one. This one does contain more of that secret sauce that was somewhat lackluster in the first movie. Obviously, the art style is consistent throughout, but in III, how far that art style is taken is pushed even further. In the first movie, it feels like we're just getting a mech anime that's about war and nothing else. II shows us that there's a little more going on than we can see on the surface. By the third movie, the mystery is revealed, except it only raises more questions than we previouslyheld. This is a good thing, as this trilogy concludes quite satisfyingly (although not in the way you might think), but also leaves me intrigued to know where the series goes from here.

Amuro is one of the most interesting main characters I've seen in an anime. He's not necessarily funny or entertaining, but his arc and development are clear to see, and by the third movie, you find yourself impressed with Amuro's skill and demeanor. Amuro has come a long way from not wanting to pilot the EVA... erm, I mean Gundam... to giving Char a run for his money. The scene where Char helps Amuro with his car was a little tense, but not nearly as gripping as the scene in the second movie where Amuro runs into an enemy squadron on lunch in the same restaurant as him.

Yeah, this series is awesome and well worth watching.
