Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 Special Edition

Anyone whom has watched the original series and is thinking of watching this movie, let me save you the trouble. Skip the first movie, watch the second movie onwards instead. This review is only for the first of the three part movie. The other two movies were ok but this first movie was a total waste of time.Whoever that made this movie just took a bunch of scenes from the original series and combine it into one movie. Everything feels very random and there is no continuity, anyone whom has not seen the original series will not know what is going on. Don’t get me wrong, the original series was one of the best in the Gundam franchise, however this movie seems to be a cash grab to milk the fans. Forget about the new animated sequences because it really is not noticeable among all the quick scene changes. There are other Gundam movies that combine the series into movie format that is done really well (see the original Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy) which first time viewers who have not seen the original series, will still be able to enjoy. Whoever who has not seen the original series will be at a total lost and because of this mistake of a first movie, may not continue in watching the second and third movie which will be a waste as those two are much better.
