Just like the show, there's good kernels of ideas we could wrestle with: is it possible to have peace and completely get rid of weapons, what is the purpose of a solider during peacetime, is all the sacrifice of battle worth it? But just like the show it's ham fisted, stumbles all over itself, and is generally ridiculous. At least with this it's not too front and center most of the time and the fact that they had to write a tight 90 minute story probably helped. But why would anyone follow a 9 year old in a coup d'état? The animation is absolutely beautiful, full of fluid awesome fight scenes with only the occasional blemish. And the updated Gundam designs are super slick. I enjoyed it not for its story but for its visuals, and just like the show I'll always have a fondness for it. Watched the sub since that's all Crunchy had.
