morgoth0084 Tomino finally cut the kiddy stuff after the fiasco that was ZZ. Unfortunately for everyone in the united states, when CCA was released on DVD and shown on Cartoon Network, only the most die-hard fans of gundam who had gone out of their way to get their hands on illegal copies of Zeta Gundam (and in some cases the even more illusive Double Zeta Gundam) had any idea what was going on. Seeing as the final episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam were never aired in the US because of 911, and Zeta Gundam was just released as a limited edition box set, and Double Zeta will probably not see the light of day for years to come, it made no sense for them to release the theatrical climax that concludes the saga after 3 series and roughly 145 episodes worth of women dying in outer space. And lets face it. Even gundam fans in Japan hated Double Zeta so it's gonna be a looooong time for we get it in the states just to see what happened and how Haman and Mineva are killed/deposed.

Matt Fokker (drakeluft) This movie is what it is, a film sequel to 1980s Japanese mecha sci-fi shows, and as long as that it what you expect out of it, you will love it! It has everything you'd come to expect from Tomino's work; human drama, mecha action, and breathtaking visuals. I suggest watching at least Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Double Zeta Gundam before viewing this film, because the directors assume that you know the Universal Century plot line. If you are not into Japanese film yet, I suggest a simpler title before diving into gundam, but if you are a veteran otaku, this movie is well worth it, even if the DVD is a little on the expensive side!

wampaems Char's Counterattack is one of the best anime moves out there. Its got animation that looks amazing even today, a pretty good story, and the sounds and music are dead on. I dont have any complaints with the dub. It helps if you have seen everything up at least to zeta gundam, zz isnt that essential. its nice to see not-so-essential characters like astonage, but where the f is sayla? and another thing: quess must die!

mathews-rr This is without a doubt the best Gundam ever.I have seen some of the original series but I did not see Zeta Gundam since it was never released in North America(which makes me wonder how people write reviews about it) I think the story could not have worked without Quess. It could have worked without Rezin Schneider, Kayra and Astonage. This is the best movie I ever saw. See it, if the romance annoys you at least you'll like the animation.
