I finished watching the three Gundam 0079 movies. I think I see why some recommend the series over the movies. There were a lot of parts that felt rushed, and there were instances where it was clear some character development had occurred but was removed. And I guess they cut out that orange juice robot, too.
That said, I don’t know that I ever would have committed to watching the original episodes. So I’m glad I saw the movies rather than nothing at all.
I think I will try War in the Pocket next.
