I have heard a lot about the Gundam franchise but never have I seen a single thing in the series. From what I've seen, it's even more popular than something like "Sailor Moon". You know, I do see a lot of fanfic crossovers with those series. Anyway, this was great because I was so glad to finally be introduced to the characters from a show I heard so much about. This actually takes place after the central conflict in the series, a year later in fact as we get one last battle. It's a film that just gets better as it goes along. One of the best things is how great the moral is. It says that if we want peace, we can't just do nothing but we still don't have to be too aggressive about it.
Somehow these guys manage to win the final battle without killing anyone. Even better, the last scenes feature them destroying the Gundams so they can never be used to hurt anyone ever again. I wasn't expecting the little girl to turn good in the end, but it was still done very well. My favorite character is easily Duo. I just love how he manages to be so optimistic throughout the entire film even though there's so much conflict going on around him. It looks like everyone got what they wanted. I love the scenes at the very end when the conflict's all over and everyone's just living normal lives. The music in this film was absolutely fantastic! It's seriously probably the best I've ever heard in an anime film ever! ***1/2
