On the topic of character design, Zoltan's design just looks ridiculous. My biggest gripe, however, concerns character design and mecha design. The mecha action is well animated and fun to watch.
It lacks any sort of nuance or emotional attachment.Ĭonsidering that this is Sunrise, it is to nobody's surprise that Gundam NT's animation is absolutely spectacular. The beginning of the film, for example, shows the destruction caused by Operation British, in which a colony was dropped on Earth, in the original Gundam, but it is presented like something out of a Hollywood film. The movie shows these events, but fails to show to a significant extent how the effects of such horrors. It attempts to portray violence or traumatic events in such a way that the person watching the movie will feel shock or empathy, but it fails at this task. It doesn't do anything profound to portray these themes, and the characters just talk about these issues in rather bland dialogue.Īnother issue to note with the story is how detached it feels to the viewer. The film just drags on and on with this philosophical nonsense about how humans should not be tampering with the power of gods or the corruption of the Federation in testing on children.
The big issue here, however, is just how uninteresting. are relevant and important to the events of NT, meaning that people who missed out on Unicorn won't be completely lost. The story, at least, does a decent job of explaining the events that happened previously which Here is Gundam NT's biggest flaw: its paper thin and boring story.
Whether the person watching it is a die-hard UC fan or a newcomer to the franchise, the movie is terrible on its own merit. To my surprise, however, the quality of the film is irrelevant to whoever has watched Unicorn Gundam or even has seen a previous Gundam series at all.
As someone who has yet to see Unicorn Gundam, I was worried that my enjoyment of Gundam NT would be hampered.
