Richard: Both Jona and Michele are twisted masses of emotion. He feels a great deal of guilt and betrayal over the past events that split the three friends apart–events that are brought to light over the course of the movie. Richard: Which is to say tortured and brooding?

#GUNDAM NT RELEASE DATE FULL#
Those two each have got a suitcase full of angst apiece–especially Jona, who is very typical as far as Gundam protagonists go. But regardless, she’s definitely an anomaly as far as even Newtypes go–which is the reason for the drama-filled relationship between her and her two childhood friends. The “conversing with the dead” always seemed to be just an extension of that. The psychic connection stuff always seemed like an interaction between Newtypes’ empathic abilities: they can understand each other so much they can literally communicate through it. The precognitive stuff seemed to come from an understanding of how other people think–thus determining how they will act or move. Toshi: Well, the way I’ve always seen it is that a Newtype’s powers are all extensions of their awareness and empathy–heightened to superhuman levels due to life in space.

I mean, Lalah’s been pulling that trick for almost 30 years in UC time. Well, that and visiting other Newtypes after death. Richard: Now, the way I’ve always understood it is that Newtypes have two kinds of powers: mind-to-mind psychic powers and precognition. Even by that standard, however, Rita’s level of precognitive skills are something that has never been seen before. Toshi: That’s a tough one… Canonically, Judo was always supposed to be the “most powerful Newtype” even though both Amuro and Camille outperformed him in overall miracles. Richard: Let’s start things off by looking at Rita.

It’s about three interconnected people and their complicated, tragedy-filled lives. But while all the above is the plot of the story, that’s not what it’s really about–not on a thematic or emotional level anyway. Richard: Ironically though, they‘re all orphans by the time the war ends. As the story shows in its intro, Rita, Jona, and Michele are three “miracle children” who, when the One Year War initially broke out, saved a town by accurately predicting the fall of a space colony onto Sydney before it happened. Toshi: Of course, we can’t add a bunch of new characters to a Gundam story without giving them a bunch of baggage first. But while Jona wants nothing more than to save Rita from the mess she’s in, Michele is out for something far different: the power of the Unicorn Gundam that defeated an entire fleet in a single instant. To do this, they enlist the aid of Rita’s childhood friends, Jona Basta and Michele Luio. Now, a year after the events of Gundam Unicorn, it has reappeared–and Federation forces are frantic to capture it. Two years ago, Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex and it’s pilot Rita Bernal went rogue and disappeared. Toshi: Speaking of which, why don’t we go into what the plot of the new film is? All I’m looking for is a good, mostly contained Gundam story. Richard: I have to say I didn’t share those worries, but I don’t exactly have the attachment to the UC timeline that you do. Now, with this newest addition to the story–i.e., Gundam Narrative–I once again went in with my skeptical grumpy pants on. I was initially skeptical of Unicorn, yet it managed to completely change my mind. It’s also may be the only example I can think of a successfully executed MacGuffin. Toshi: Gundam Unicorn did what I thought was impossible: it revisited the UC timeline in a meaningful and organically canon-altering way. Richard: We’re on a mission from god, Toshi. Toshi: But Richard, do you really think we can destroy more than 103 cop cars? And since I reviewed Gundam Unicorn together with Toshi Nakamura back in the day over at Kotaku, I thought this would be the perfect occasion to get the band back together and take a look at this new film. Released late last month in theaters across Japan, Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative is set a year after Gundam Unicorn. And while two recent OVA series, Gundam Unicorn and Gundam: The Origin premiered first in Japanese theaters, there has not been a completely original UC Gundam film since Gundam F91, 27 years ago.
#GUNDAM NT RELEASE DATE SERIES#
There have been a lot of Gundam series in the past four decades, but not nearly as many feature films. (At the $60 a month tier, you are allowed to pick one 13ish episode series or film to be reviewed–which is released in addition to the one article a week I normally put out here on .) This time around he chose the new anime film Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative. Before we get started, I just wanted to give out a big thanks to Joshua Ott for sponsoring this review with his Patreon donation.
