646f9e108c After a generation of peace, the Earth Federation has begun to build new space colonies to house humanity&#39;s growing population. But a new force, the aristocratic Crossbone Vanguard, plans to seize the colonies of the newly-constructed Frontier Side for itself. As their home becomes a battlefield, a handful of young civilians struggle to escape the conflict. Armed with the state-of-the-art Gundam F91, Seabook and his friends put up a desperate struggle against the Crossbone menace… This Gundam almost copies the original Gundam story. The hero Arno Seabrook a civilian becomes the Gundam pilot to stop the enemy, only he didn&#39;t steal the Gundam this time he was drafted to pilot it more or less. This story takes place 30 years after the events in Gundam Char&#39;s Counter Attack, so no Charux Zabine is not Char Aznable&#39;s son even if the resemblance might be there.<br/><br/>The Villain is a Masked(Darth Vader type baddie)mad man with plans of his own empire Cosmo Babylon, Korozo Ronah aka. Iron Mask. He is also the father of the lead female Cecily Fairchild.<br/><br/>It has some impressive battle scenes climaxing with Arno in the Gundam verses Iron Mask in his giant mobile armor (about 4 times the size of the Gundam)the Rafflesia?<br/><br/>This has become my #1 of the Gundam series, even after 15 years the animation of this holds up. Just wish they had made it the series it was mean to be. There&#39;s always the Crossbones Gundam manga that takes place 10 years after Gundam F91. &quot;Gundam F91&quot; was Tomino&#39;s attempt at starting a new Gundam series after the UC Char-Amuro rivalry ended. Originally this was supposed to be a 50+ episode TV series but staff disputes cut it down to 13 episodes and Tomino ended up making a movie instead with what little he had left. The end result is a mess.<br/><br/>The story is very rushed and we don&#39;t get enough time to connect with the characters or understand their motives. Characters are introduced out of nowhere and are never developed. Not to mention the very bad time skips for instance where in one scene the main protagonist is fighting in his Gundam and the very next scene no more than 30 seconds later he&#39;s in a town on the ground his civilian clothes with no explanation what happened or why he&#39;s there.<br/><br/>The animation is good and has great fight scenes with the robots. The music is okay but the CrossBone Vanguard&#39;s theme sounds way too much like the &quot;Imperial March&quot; theme from &quot;The Empire Strikes Back&quot;. How they got away without plagiarism sues I have no idea.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re a Gundam fan watch ita curiosity but watch it with low expectations because in the end the story is pointless. It should have been the 50+ episode series it should have been.
