Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation II - Lovers

Lovers is the second of 3 digitally remastered movies that encompasses the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam storyline (A New Translation II). The second movie covers the middle of the MS Zeta Gundam series, which is pivotal for Camille's relationship with Four Murasame.

The digital remastering was not done totally. There would be new scenes added in with wonderful new animation. Just as you're happy and marvelling at the animation they cut to the scenes lifted 100% from the series, which while they might have been remastered look very dated. The switch between the "new" and "old" scenes is very jarring and affected my enjoyment of these movies.

That being said, some new scenes added in were very good and helped with character development. They also cut out a lot of fluff which made the movie much more enjoyable than the series, which tended to move along at a snail's pace.

Overall the second movie is almost worse than the series. Not many new scenes were added and the old animation was 100% copy/paste. This was the most interesting arc and they made it seem slow and boring, which was a waste. read more
