Char's Counterattack is one of the best anime moves out there. Its got animation that looks amazing even today, a pretty good story, and the sounds and music are dead on. I dont have any complaints with the dub. It helps if you have seen everything up at least to zeta gundam, zz isnt that essential. its nice to see not-so-essential characters like astonage, but where the f is sayla? and another thing: quess must die!
This is without a doubt the best Gundam ever.I have seen some of the original series but I did not see Zeta Gundam since it was never released in North America(which makes me wonder how people write reviews about it) I think the story could not have worked without Quess. It could have worked without Rezin Schneider, Kayra and Astonage. This is the best movie I ever saw. See it, if the romance annoys you at least you'll like the animation.
The Finally showdown between Amuro and Char in the only way it could be. This movie is for the real Gundam fans, although there are those that may be able to appreciate this movie too. And when you put this movie into the Gundam time line those mobile suits are the state of the art of mobile suits. I really don't know why the ones in Gundam Wing aren't using the 360 degree view cockpits seem like a step down to me.The characters and the story was all Gundam. Char and his master plan for human improvement, and Amuro who still believed in the good within man. The story however didn't really need Quess, other than to show of the influence Char could hold on some people I suppose.
Char's Counterattack is a worthy climax for the saga of Mobile Suit Gundam, as started in 1979's television series. A strong story, which logically concludes the storyline started in the original, is paired off with some of the best Mecha designs ever seen on screen and some seriously good performances by the voice actors who have made these characters into careers over the last 20 years.Unfortunately, the film also contains the single most annoying character ever devised for Gundam, or even any anime. Quess Paraya, the girl you just want to reach out and strangle.
