Looks like the movie has been released some months ago. Does someone know if it has a different ending from the anime ?

Thanks, I guess I will just give up on this then.

I haven't watch the 5 movies recap (or not) but just want to confirm that if I have watch 26 episode of the original tv series. do I need to watch this 5 movies at all or no need to. Because it's a recap? I do not know if it is a recap.

No, not a recap.

Starting from 3rd movie there are a lot of original content. I think it will get you a new experience by watching these 5-part movie.

I legitimately have no idea what the resolution of this film is, or why anyone was fighting. The closest we got to motivations was that the Venus and Moon people wanted to emigrate to Earth, but seeing as Earth has half the population it had in the Universal Century I'm not really sure whats stopping them, the only places that seem to have warships are South America, North America and Europe. Just land in Asia.

Mask's motivation seemed to be that he thought Bellri would one day become a dictator, though I'm not entirely sure why. Everyone is full on trying to murder everone else right up till the end (I think at one point Raraiya and Noredo killed everyone aboard a warship just because), but then a few months later they're all going camping and talking about each others babies. Surely someone should have gone to jail? Going from a thousand years of peace to extreme murder lust to a slice of life ending is a wild turnaround without much (any) explanation.

Also having the mastermind behind the entire war decide that the best place to observe a mecha battle is from a completely exposed mesa on the ground sure was something.

There's no discussion thread so I'll post the news here: the film is airing (for a limited time as usual) on Gundam Info, the official YT channel.

It took me around 10 years, but I'm finally finished with my G-Reco journey. I do agree the movies improved on the anime by making the story more linear. But I don't get the point of this anime, either the movies or the anime. Would it really have been so horrible for Tomino's last Gundam to be a regular Gundam story?

With it being 2024, and mecha anime like Roze of the Recapture joining other failures of anime that had too few episodes, I don't know how well this anime would have done with 30+ episodes. I do know the animation wouldn't have been as great. I'm going to take this anime as one last time for Tomino to have a fraught relationship with Sunrise and do his best with what he was given.

If nothing else, an anime this odd will be much more fondly remembered than Kyoukai Senki, or other boilerplate mecha anime. But if you choose to subject yourself to this anime, stick with the movies.

Lastly, a few things I appreciated. An MC that was written to handle killing well. In the movies at least. Very cool and powerful mecha. The Char Clone and his lover surviving and ending the Tomino curse for everyone not named Katejina Loos. The little touches of space life that no longer exist in mecha anime anymore.

A user wrote a review that made me reconsider what I was watching. I guess Tomino really wanted to make it clear war and killing is bad, plus he found a way to make it difficult to put any pilots on a pedestal. So I guess it was successful. I'll go rewatch Victory Gundam if I want Tomino madness combined with a more coherent story.
