Third time is the charm. any edits made since the original version are to avoid frivolous copyright takedowns by BANdai.

~~- THIS VIDEO CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GUNDAM F91-~~

Released in 1991 Mobile Suit Gundam F91 would set out to create a brand new story in the Gundam universe. While it never spawned the sequels that it promised, this truncated movie is crammed full of underdeveloped ideas and weird occurrences. I love it, despite its flaws, and I hope you will too.

The amount of pettiness in this 3.0 release is just immaculate!

Bandai: lets full uploads of the movie exist on YT without lifting a finger

Also Bandai: repeatedly blocks down a review protected by fair use

Who else but Bandai!

Looks like BANdai wants me to watch this video for the third time

For anybody seeing this: F91 is currently uploaded in HD on youtube, so catch it before it's copyright struck!

If Char did that headshot Kycilia style, the iron mask would not have saved him.

The F91 MS designs are dang good, in general, and certainly more streamlined and aerodynamic as far as MS goes. It's just a shame F91 itself, was never made into a full series that covered both it and the Crossbone Gundam manga.

As someone with unmedicated ADHD, I found the pacing of F91 to be a breath of fresh air compared to the original 3 series. But I'm well aware that that's just me. Not everybody's brain is hardwired to enjoy a story on fast forward.

I gotta say Iron Mask used being shot at perfectly, he realized someone had shot his helmet and he's like "YEAH TRY TO KILL ME I DARE YOU" for effect.

I do hope if Bandai continues their "UC NEXT 100" project (hard to say since the pandemic really pushed Hathaway back and its other parts seem to be in production hell) they make a unified reboot of the F91 and Crossbone stories, retold with better pacing and of course, finally animating Crossbone Gundam. I feel like people are getting burnt out on the constant OYW and mid UC rehashes and in betweener entries.

Aesthetics go so far in this entry. There's a reason why every almost every Gundam crossover game has Seabook.

I actually like how the Rafflesia mobile armors design mirrors the actual Rafflesia flower irl, aka the death flower, aka the plant found on venusaurs back in pokemon as well lol

Carozzo looks like a hokey combination of Darth Vader and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Man in the Iron Mask

@thomsfrench36 4 years ago

So Bandai struck this down, but there’s a 1 year old video with the entire film. Good job YouTube!

The red mobile armor is actually a flower after its name, Rafflesia.

Given what a shell casing that size ought to weigh (even assuming advanced tech using lightweight materials) and how far it's falling in what looks like 1 gee, Dead Mom probably ought to have had her head crushed like an eggshell. The anime is actually being restrained about the injuries there.

Because of Cecily's half brother people theorized that Full Frontal's purple haired follower is actually Iron Mask. Cecillly's mom DOES look a bit like a chick version of Full Frontal.

Be careful with Victory Gundam. It will be a rollercoaster of emotions.

F91 ripoff of the Imperial March is so egregious, one of the first things I noticed when I listened to the soundtrack on CD 😂

@Retcon_404 As you know, Carozzo "Iron Mask" Ronah is the Dragon-in-Chief, the actual main villain is his Father-in-law Meitzer Ronah.

here's something interesting to note Letz Kobayashi and Kikka Kitamoto would still be alive during the events of Gundam f91 0123 Letz would be 50 and Kikka would be 48.
