Kidou Senshi Gundam NT (Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative)

U.C. 0097, one year after the opening of "Laplace's Box."
Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered.

The conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. In its final battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human understanding. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely forgotten.

However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. A golden phoenix... named Phenex.

On my first viewing of this movie, I thought it was alright. After I fully watched and completed all of the UC timeline, I realized this movie has a lot in such a small package. It's a great culmination of everything that has happened in the UC timeline so far, we get some really nice fanservice, and we also get some great story with it. So I would definitely recommend watching the UC timeline up to Unicorn before watching this, or else you'll just be watching great animation and great music but nothing else. The characters are really awesome, and as always, Sawano kills it ...

Mixed Feelings

Can't escape feeling like a spinoff rather than sequel.

I enjoyed the movie and it's quick pace. The core relationship between the three main characters was interesting enough, and the show had plenty of callbacks to prior events in the Universal Century timeline of Gundam. However, beyond some the delving into the power of Newtypes and the Psycommu system, the show can't shake the "direct-to-dvd unofficial sequel" feel.

As someone who enjoys the supernatural aspect of the Newtype mythos, this movie was very informative for me, confirming longheld theories I had about what a newtype is and how key events in earlier shows manifested themselves. This is ...

To be fair, Newtypes have been strange since the beginning. After Unicorn, NT follows and expands dramatically on the Newtype. On the other hand, there's much too much focus on Newtypes that it drowned all the other parts of the story. This film feels weak, though it starts to develop in an interesting way with the ever evolving Newtypes, and mankind's new mission to become immortal among some of the characters. Hardly any of the new characters are likeable. Jona is the only decent one though an hour and a half movie and the weak story didn't do enough for his character.

He's friends with Rita, ... a Newtype who really wants to be a bird. The more she said that, the funnier it got. They debate whether or not there is a heaven or hell, or reincarnation. Rita, however, is devoid of any real character, or a face for half the film. She spends the movie flying around saying the same things and talking like a child. I don't blame her since she was sliced up and experimented into oblivion. Michele is the third friend of the group, and has a plan the rest don't necessarily agree with. Compared to the other two, her interest lies with immortality and her interest in how Newtypes can still live on and communicate after death. At least, one thing this film does is show what happens to Newtypes and how harsh the experimentation is on them to the point one child busts her head open on thick glass from being so unstable.

Zoltan is by far the worst part of the film. He annoyed me more than Katz. He's a Char reject that failed to become the new Frontal. As a result, he has this extremely annoying over the edge personality and horrible facial expressions. He is a bastardized version of Char without intelligence. Even so, he's so comical I couldn't take him seriously. I can't take several parts of this film seriously, in fact. There's the Dragon Ball tier detections the characters get, and I laughed at "It psycommu-jacked it!" The Newtype powers are even more out of control this time, and along with Rita and Jona's meaningless like bond, it felt like the climax of a kids film. Jona isn't even that good of a pilot, he just happens to have the ridiculous powers of the glittery rainbow. Then there's the poster for this that looks just awful. Mineva doesn't do much besides sitting in the dark which is a waste of her character after her build up in Unicorn.

I can't be too harsh at least. The best parts of this definitely were the original Gundam, Zeta, and ZZ flashbacks. Unicorn characters do return, though the poor production values made many look unrecognizable or bland. Some of the new minor characters are drawn so odd they feel out of place.

With this film I was fighting with the pause button for better things to spend my time on. The production values dropped so much on this film that it feels depressing. It could have tried to be better as a theatrical release, and yet the downgrade is so painfully obvious. Besides the "attempt" at expanding the Newtype lore and making their powers even more ridiculous than they already were, Sawano returns with another decent score to redeem whatever this was supposed to be. A shame that the arrow of the original timeline entries has started to dip with this for me. At the very least, the film felt more enjoyable towards the end.
