Mobile Suit Gundam: L'éclat de Hathaway

This movie was well worth the wait after numerous delays. This is the first in the trilogy of movies based on the novels written by Yoshiyuki Tomino. I love this movie, but I wouldn't recommend this to people who are new to the Gundam series, or specifically if you're new to the Universal Century timeline (Original Series). If you really want to watch Hathaway I highly recommend you to watch Char's Counterattack movie first before going in. You'd get more context of who the characters are and what lead Hathaway down his path. But overall the animation and cinematography in this movie is phenomenal, and the characters themselves feel really human. The Mobile Suit battles were AMAZING! My only gripe with the film was the last fight scene between the Xi and Penelope was a little too short. But overall I can't wait to see what's next in the other two movies.
