The Impression of First Gundam

About This Movie

So, 'The Impression of First Gundam' is one of those unique pieces that recontextualizes the original 'Kidou Senshi Gundam' for its 20th anniversary. The director isn't known, which adds a bit of mystery to the experience. It’s fascinating how the selected scenes were re-edited and projected on three giant screens, giving this classic a new widescreen feel – quite a departure from the original 4:3 format. The atmosphere feels nostalgic, tapping into the foundational themes of war and humanity that the series is known for, but with a renewed sweep. Pacing can seem a bit off if you’re used to the traditional narrative structure, but it gives you a different lens to appreciate the animation and the practical effects of the time. The edit feels like a celebration more than a standalone narrative, which is distinctive in its own right.
