After Unicorn, the bar was set unfathomably high. Their goal? Capture the RX-0-3 Phenex Gundam (aka, Rita) who holds the key to essentially immortality with a fake Char/Full Frontal looking like he just stepped out of a Hot Topic, leading Neo Zeon and chasing after it as well. Fast forward to the present, Jona and Michele are now part of Luio & Co. Jona was unaware of this arrangement at the time but as time goes on he starts to realize what Michele had done. Rita is taken away while Jona and Michele are released from captivity because Michele struck a deal with (them), selling Rita out as the one who predicted the colony drop in the first place. The three of them were labeled "the miracle children" after Rita showed them visions of the colony drop. Jona, Rita, and Michele were special, however. A large sum of children who were all experimented on to bring forth a perfected newtype. The three of them were the subjects of some cyber newtype experimentation. You have Jona the protagonist, Rita the airheaded macguffin plot armor, and Michele. 3 characters who have the complexity of a box of saltines. The plot: Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative follows the story of 3 main characters. Narrative's story is a continuation of Unicorn's.
#Gundam nt 1 movie
I hope you like being let down because if you're coming off of Unicorn expecting a movie with a good story and exemplary visuals, you're gonna be sorely dissatisfied. That is why I only give it a 6/10, because in the end, this movie cannot stand on its own. Overall a superb movie, with a HUGE CAVEAT that you have to know the history of the world the story took place. Other mechas are just previous design with some new add on to sell new toys. The only new mecha design I see is only Gundam Narrative, but even then you can see that it's just a mash up of Unicorn and Nu. Mecha design is also cool, although it only refurbished previous mecha design. But if what you're looking for here is only mecha on Mecha action, then you're in for a treat, because this movie has PLENTY! The animation is fluid and really capture the movement of the battle, while the OST perfectly accompanying the dynamics of the battle, I personally LOVED the first action sequence where Phenex first shown on screen.
#Gundam nt 1 series
My suggestion, watch other Gundam shows from the Universal Century timeline, at the very minimum watch the Unicorn Gundam series BEFORE WATCHING THIS MOVIE. The story is nice, but again, you NEED to know the history of Gundam to appreciate the story. For a long time fan like me, this is perfect because the story just continued from where last we left UC timeline in the Unicorn Gundam series.īut for newcomers, I would understand if you don't like it because there's very little exposition on the state of the world the story takes place, and hence the character motivation becomes "blurry" The main plot in itself, in the most basic form is a triangle love story, boy likes girl, the other girl gets jealous, but in a midst of war, jealousy can lead to some dire consequences. And the movie really just assumes you already know who's who. If you're just a casual audience who didn't know the history of the Gundam Universal Century timeline, this movie will get confusing really fast, as tou won't understand which faction is which and who you want to root for. A really good movie, BUT you have to be a long time fan to appreciate it.
