Hideaki Anno: If i were going to put it in admittedly grandiose terms, I consider Char’s Counterattack a cultural heirloom for future generations.

Yoshiyuki Tomino: Wow. Speaking as the creator, on the contrary, I don’t think it’s that big a deal.

Beltorchika s children is better especially the way they handled Hathaway. It feels less rushed comparing to the movie, but the movie just brings out the sensation when Amuro pushes back axis with his own life and showing his faith in the possibility within humanity. It was a good way to end UC I believe.

But then we have the shitshow that is late uc.

It is a fun movie, but I didn't like Char becoming an antagonist again.

Great animation. Only been out done by origin I'd say

He was planned to return in ZZ and usurp Haman. Then Counterattack was greenlit, so Char was saved for the movie.

His return as antagonist was inevitable and unavoidable.

I think it was somewhat inevitable that he become the leader of Neo Zeon, but I did not like how he suddenly turned to war crime tactics that Quattro would not have (I have more thoughts on CCA I'll post eventually once I finally cope with the ending)

Characters were badly introduced and explored. Awkward and out of character statements/conduct from the protagonists, and lackluster ending. Good animation show case so I guess we got what we came here for but I'm not mad I didn't take friends to see this as an intro to gundam lol

Agreed, Quess was more annoyance then she was worth.

I don't really feel this is a 'hot' take. If you're the least bit critical of the media you like, then CCA is a very weak entry indeed.

From what I can tell from this subreddit in general, most peoplethat think about Gundam as art- as well as 'COOL ROBOTS'- seems to agree that CCA is far from the best in the series. Unicorn and IBO are controversial, everyone agrees that 0080 is great, but my impression is that Char's Counterattack is rated about where it should.

I didn't love 0080, but I'm certainly in the minority

You're right, I should have made it say "CCA is garbage, change my new type mind"

Nope. I totally agree. They truncated the story of the original script and kind of messed up Char's character, among other things.

Mechs look fine I guess.
