My favorite part of the movie is when his mom is riding a bike through the deserted colony city and she just randomly runs over a cardboard box and eats shit but you only get to see it for a split second before it cuts to a different scene.
It's a mess... that had a lot of potential. I think of ot had been given a full tv run as originally intended, it could have been wonderful. I still enjoy the movie, with the caveat that it isn't "good" it just has elements that are good. And the mechanical design is outstanding.
I'd love to see it given a redone treatment as a series. The MS are great, and I think it has a lot of potentially interesting characters (even if I do constantly make fun of Iron Mask's motivation)
The Goonies of Gundam. Looks great, but confusing. Like that It's about a ragtag group of kids that get in with losers of the military and save the day.
Nobody talks about it because it's just a movie. It's perpetually treated as some weird prototype that never got off the ground, which is infuriating because it was the future of Gundam at the time. And then V happened, and then Cross Bone happened to tie F91 and V together, and...
It all ends up feeling like a window into another timeline.
You know how the trend in anime nowadays is take what would be several episodes and turn them into a movie? Heck, we even saw that with Gundam with GQuuuuux: The Beginning. I have always considered F91 sort of like a prologue movie to a series that doesn't exist, which it kind of is given the production history. I appreciate that it knows it can't solve the conflict in a satisfactory way so the ending is just Seabook and Cecily getting back together. I think if you understand the context of its production and go in with the mindset that like it's kind of a TV pilot, it's really good. The mecha and character designs are outstanding, and it's the most beautiful Gundam has and ever will look.
Crossbone gives you a bit of exposition of what happened afterwards and how the conflict was resolved, but it doesn't really actually finish F91's story but rather reuses a lot of those characters and gives them something to do and their own full story. If I could wish any Gundam thing into existence, it would be a full F91 anime with whatever Tomino originally envisioned, because I think it would have been great and F91 has a lot of cool concepts. What we have though is the best it could be given the circumstances, and I still have always enjoyed it.
A mess, a cool mess that I wish would get a “remake” as a show like it was planned originally. I mean if Bandai is willing to touch G Reco I can’t see any excuse not to green light a remake show for F91 and hey if there feeling frisky finally give us crossbone but that one is as much of a pipe dream as Half Life 3
The animation is some of the best Gundam has ever done. It certianly feels very cinematic at times. Unfortunately, as a result of it being a TV series cut down to a movie, everything story wise is rushed and pacing is bad.
I don't think it was meant to be a tv series it was just a rushed production when it hit theaters it wasn't even complete. What we have now is the completed edition because the original release was mission frames animation and a whole bunch of audio.
I think it's transformation from a series to a movie really hurt it. I think it had some really good elements and a lot to say about humanity that if given room to breathe could have been an amazing series. Aristocracy that is so far up it's own ass that it has no problem making the lives of everyone else worse because somehow it's good for them because it benefits the aristocrats, a villain that just tanks a head shot and then taints the shooter to work the crowd! Will never see that again.... An invasion that truly shows just how uneven and cruel an invasion would be .that being said I think the characters suffer from the shortened runtime they just jump as characters with no understanding that time has passed.
I was honestly quite impressed with some of the visuals and animation. It's among the prettiest of entries in the franchise imo even if narratively a bit goofy.
In a franchise filled with rushed, awkwardly paced movies, it stands out as the most rushed and awkward of them all. The presentation is striking, and their is a good story behind it all but, it is given zero time to breath.
Of all the Gundam stories that "need" a remake, I think F91, arguably, deserves it the most.
Prolly in my top 3 of Gundam projects if it had been a full series as intended prolly be my fav but can say that the F91 itself is my favorite suite by far
Anyone know where I can stream it in English dub? I know an English sub is up on YT, which normally I prefer for anime, but the dub has a special place in my heart.
I love it. I wish it had gotten a whole series, but F91 is one of my favorites for sure. Love the suits, love the story, love the characters, love the music
It'd be great if they picked it up to redo it as a series and segway it into Crossbone.. as messy as it was, I enjoyed the movie, especially the animation and the F91 Gundam F91 continues to be one of my favorite designs
I think it needed atleast 8 or 12 episodes to properly get anything out of it. Its still fine, no where near as good as other gundam projects from the same time and I really only watched it so I could binge the crossbone manga.
I really like F91 but it's kinda flawed. I'll say the animation is fantastic and the Gundam F91 itself is an absolute beauty, one of my favorite MS. The mobile suit design across the whole movie is fire. The film's very fast and confusing though and leaves a muddled impression.
Wasted potential on a half baked theatrical release. Beautiful animation, mecha and character designs though. I like it, but it’s definitely very incomplete and rushed. It’s the ONLY universal century media I’d like to see a complete remake of, and only if they can keep the animation as close to the original as possible. I really like the Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits. They feel fresh but familiar compared to the earlier UC works.
You can really feel the seams in it. Basically a compilation film for a series that doesn't exist. Looks gorgeous. Some of the best renditions of YAS's characters. Some pretty snazzy mobile suits. There's the peices of something really good but the things that are supposed connect them aren't there.
It was great. It's just unfortunate that it came at a time when everyone was fed up with the UC timeline. If it had been launched later like say the Unicorn it would have been praised way more.
It has probably the best first 20-30 minutes ever in a animated movie with the attack on the colony and how everything goes from a nice afternoon to complete shit in seconds.
The scene where the woman with the baby gets hit by the giant shell from a bullet and just dies is super horrifying.
Well it's a great into to crossbone Gundam but they never made an anime for it. So it's a great stepping off point for something that doesn't exist. It also doesn't have anything that's directly prior either, so it's kinda all on its own as a random movie. It's still good, but the other stories that are in their own pockets of future UC have wholes series to build their stories instead of a single movie (G-Recongista and Victory). It's set 18 years after Hathaway so after that trilogy is done there will probably be another movie/series that leads up to F91. That'll probably be over a decade from now though
Well, if no one knows fun fact, this was supposed to be thirteen Episodes and not a movie and it shows
It's if there's a manga version of it.It's probably better to read it
It's a slow burn, but it's a much needed window into what a lot of the civilians are going through during these conflicts. That being said, it definitely complements the genre as a whole more than some of the conventional action-packed series. There's a lot to be said for that.
Interesting ideas, characters, and designs that all should've been fleshed out a lot more past the 2-3 hours the movie really comprises. If it was at least a multi-episode OVA, that would've mattered quite a bit.
It’s a complicated movie that is held back by the production issues causing the story to be a hot mess. However from a visual standpoint the movie is absolutely beautiful and I can enjoy it well enough on that basis alone.
I use this as one of a few options to invest viewers in Gundam since it is pretty isolated, contains most of the important tropes, and has a lower time investment than even the OG compilation movies.
Its so unfinished down to being outright incoherent at times. I appreciate its first 20 minutes where it holds itself together and then it just becomes a mess. I will never stop clowning on iron mask, sude is truly definition of the wojank holding up a smug mask while crying and malding underneath.
No one talks about it because it just sort of exists. I haven't gotten around to the f90 manga yet but at least in terms of crossbone I appreciate it got to dig out and finish at least a bit of what happened here but yeah its just not interesting to talk about I feel.
Awkward overall as a movie due to production problems that everyone knows about.
Fantastic animation.
Some of the best urban combat in the franchise in terms of how "real" it is / how "alive" the locale is, with the civilians scurrying around and liberal collateral casualties sprinkled in.
Amazing animation and some of my favorite mecha designs but it really should have been a tv show. It just does not have the time to tell the story it wants to.
Movie was atrocious. Sorry guys but man that movie had a million plot points and maybe 80 minutes to work with. I remember there being plot twists every other scene in the middle part. Iirc ( it's been half a decade since I saw it). There was a family reveal, an assassination attempt and some other plot twist all I the span of a minute.
Mecha designs were ok. The enemies look waay to much like Darth Vader.
Liked the f91 though. The 2.0 Mg was a great build.
Way better than I expected, but it's PAINFULLY obvious it was a series cut down into a movie. F91 should get a reboot and the full series it intended to have.
That isn’t entirely true. No scripts were ever created. All that had been written prior to the project shifting to a movie was a 20 page, rough plot outline and a TV proposal. When they were told to make it a movie, the team condensed what would’ve roughly equalled the first cour of a hypothetical TV show from the plot notes and proposal and worked on it from there.
Yeah, that’s not true. Tomino wrote a brief 20 page outline of what would constitute the first thirteen episodes of a series if they were given the go-ahead that direction (they never were). That outline was then repurposed as the framework for the movie when they were past a workable deadline.
Twenty pages doesn’t make a movie script; so it needed to have scenarios fleshed out and added to stitch the framework together. That’s how we got what we got.
“Outline of first thirteen episodes” was mistaken as the “thirteen fully written episodes” factoid that gets batted around today, but it just ain’t true.
It's one of those things that has just been taken for granted and gets repeated so often that most people take it as "confirmed," even though if you trace those references back they all lead to the same source, which actually doesn't say what they say it says. It's the version of the story I'd heard from as far back as the late 90's, so when I learned otherwise, it was a bit of a shocker!
I bet! I was pretty surprised myself, but I suppose I should rephrase my main point knowing this now. As far as how disjointed it feels, like it was pieced together. I'm surprised it never got fully fleshed out in Manga form, as far as I know at least.
It's on of my favorite suits, played the he'll out of it in gundam breaker and dynasty 1,2,3. It's a sports car in a suit. I think of it has the miata of gundams.
No one talks about it much because it's short, largely considered not a great movie, and overshadowed by Crossbone. The suit only appears in the movie and I think part of Crossbone.
As for what I thought of the movie, I didn't hate it, but I'd love to see it in the original full series format it was conceived of as. I love the suit itself, it's one of my favorites.
It’s a very pretty movie with some great scenes scattered throughout - and the opening invasion sequence is pretty iconic - but as others have said it really suffers from being (half of a?) tv show condensed into a film. That and I’ve just never cared for Tomino’s obsession with war orphan antics.
Looks interesting, shame it suffers from crushed and rushed into a movie. Also hot take but I hate the crossbone vanguard mobile suits, not just because I’m salty on the jegans got wrecked by them but because I really don’t like their design. Yes I get the idea, yes tech wise they’re more advanced, but their designs just irk me like they’re incomplete or something.
It's messy it really needed a full series. It also sets up so much of the late universal century but so much is hidden in secondary media. It would be great if they made this into a real series one day.
Pacing is a bit wierd but understandable given it was originally planned to be an seasonal anime rather than a movie. Also my second/third favorite gundam protag couple.
It can be one of the best Gundam piece of media of all time (specially for visual, storytelling and coreography) if it wasn't for the rushed script approximating character motivation and plot in the second half of the movie
all i want is a remake in 50 episode anime
because it's look sooo cool, maybe one of the best gundam anime but bandai is jerk and don't let Tomino doing his masterpiece
I didn't really understand how it fit in - was it UC? If so, who are these rando space pirates with wildly different mobile suits?
I never knew if it was AU or not.
There is a F90 manga that acts as a prequel to the events of the movie, but personally i haven't ever read it. And at the time F91 was made CCA was meant to be the last story of the Fed v Zeon conflict and this was meant to start a new era in Gundam. It and Victory didn't quite work as all involved wanted it to and side stories and then more significantly, Unicorn, brought back Zeon as remnants of remnants of remnants after CCA. But even still at least as of these days the canon is that Zeon as a movement fully dies out by the time of late UC, and their last moments of significance are during the UC 0090s.
Really good. I didn’t really notice much bad pacing, other than Seabook’s friends feeling underdeveloped. Maybe the negative reviews came from the theatrical cut rather than the director’s cut. I do wish there was a series
I basically love the whole mecha design. The loto granddaughter is amazing
Insane animation. Girlfriend, who has no interest in Gundam, or even animation, was like “wait, I want to watch this” when I had it on the TV 😂
My favorite part of the movie is when his mom is riding a bike through the deserted colony city and she just randomly runs over a cardboard box and eats shit but you only get to see it for a split second before it cuts to a different scene.
I honestly thought that was a Tem Ray repeat, until she showed up a few scenes later.
Best shot in the entire movie right there. Glad to see someone else recognizes that
It's a mess... that had a lot of potential. I think of ot had been given a full tv run as originally intended, it could have been wonderful. I still enjoy the movie, with the caveat that it isn't "good" it just has elements that are good. And the mechanical design is outstanding.
You can describe a lot of Gundam this way.
I'd love to see it given a redone treatment as a series. The MS are great, and I think it has a lot of potentially interesting characters (even if I do constantly make fun of Iron Mask's motivation)
Feels like the compilation movie it was, jumbled and imcomplete. Yet compelling and obvious that F91 deserved a full series.
The Goonies of Gundam. Looks great, but confusing. Like that It's about a ragtag group of kids that get in with losers of the military and save the day.
I wish it was a series because that sounds fun.
You just described Gundam Seed to a "T".😂
Nobody talks about it because it's just a movie. It's perpetually treated as some weird prototype that never got off the ground, which is infuriating because it was the future of Gundam at the time. And then V happened, and then Cross Bone happened to tie F91 and V together, and...
It all ends up feeling like a window into another timeline.
Another victim of Bandai cost cutting.
It really should have been a series with Crossbone as a proper follow-up.
So much wasted potential...

Too short.

It was originally intended as a 50 episode series
It’s a mess, but it’s a gorgeous mess.

A lot of the music is Star Wars scores played either backward or in different cords.
Got so cool scenes but overall kinda lame. Story jumpas around and make little sense. I like the F91 though
It was really good! It should have been a mini series though.
I was honestly quite impressed with some of the visuals and animation. It's among the prettiest of entries in the franchise imo even if narratively a bit goofy.

Prolly in my top 3 of Gundam projects if it had been a full series as intended prolly be my fav but can say that the F91 itself is my favorite suite by far
Right at the ‘continuity huh?’ part of the story 😶🌫️
Loved it. Wish it was a full series but I'll take the movie over nothing. Love the designs and animation is great.
It’s the most beautiful presentation/animation of all of Gundam. However, it is severely flawed. It was my introduction to the series, so I am biased.
I very liked it but made me wish we got a full series
Aesthetically and animation quality it’s perfect, it just really need to be expanded upon story wise into the full tv series as intended
I occasionally scream out "Cecily!!" from time to time
Animation quality is great but the movie was cut too much, you can barely recognize the plot, pacing was all over the place.
Has one of the cruelest death scene in Gundam.
This and V for me - I’m just a sucker for those late UC small MS. So I’ll forgive the rushed nature and other suboptimal aspects
Anyone know where I can stream it in English dub? I know an English sub is up on YT, which normally I prefer for anime, but the dub has a special place in my heart.
I love it. I wish it had gotten a whole series, but F91 is one of my favorites for sure. Love the suits, love the story, love the characters, love the music

Amazing I with they finished it
I struggle to form a genuine opinion on something that is closer to a sequence of events happening than an actual plot
I enjoyed it. Really made me enjoy the Vigna Ghina and makes me want a Rafflesia kit
I really love it but you definitely feel how rushed the movie is after the 50 minute mark tbh
Confusing asf, everything happened too quickly
I like it a lot.
I think it needed atleast 8 or 12 episodes to properly get anything out of it. Its still fine, no where near as good as other gundam projects from the same time and I really only watched it so I could binge the crossbone manga.
I really like F91 but it's kinda flawed. I'll say the animation is fantastic and the Gundam F91 itself is an absolute beauty, one of my favorite MS. The mobile suit design across the whole movie is fire. The film's very fast and confusing though and leaves a muddled impression.
Would have loved to see it as a full series.
Old mecha anime look much more like giant robots than the fast paced modern ones.
Wasted potential on a half baked theatrical release. Beautiful animation, mecha and character designs though. I like it, but it’s definitely very incomplete and rushed. It’s the ONLY universal century media I’d like to see a complete remake of, and only if they can keep the animation as close to the original as possible. I really like the Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits. They feel fresh but familiar compared to the earlier UC works.
It's hard to have many opinions on one of the must trunkaded films of all time. Gorgeous visuals though, love the F91 in particular.
You can really feel the seams in it. Basically a compilation film for a series that doesn't exist. Looks gorgeous. Some of the best renditions of YAS's characters. Some pretty snazzy mobile suits. There's the peices of something really good but the things that are supposed connect them aren't there.

Peak animation. The first 2/3rds of it are classic Gundam.
Falls already pretty quickly halfway through though but definitely worth the watch
F91 was the first MG I ever bought. Even to this day is my favorite Gundam design
I genuinely love this film. I just wish it wasn’t such a mess in the back half.
It's a slow burn, but it's a much needed window into what a lot of the civilians are going through during these conflicts. That being said, it definitely complements the genre as a whole more than some of the conventional action-packed series. There's a lot to be said for that.
Umami animation quality, peak mecha and character design, war crimes, and shell casing bonk
My first gundam movie ever....Eternal winds 😘😘
Interesting ideas, characters, and designs that all should've been fleshed out a lot more past the 2-3 hours the movie really comprises. If it was at least a multi-episode OVA, that would've mattered quite a bit.
I loved the movie, I just wish it would have been a series like it was supposed to AND I wish they continued seabooks story into crossguard
It’s a complicated movie that is held back by the production issues causing the story to be a hot mess. However from a visual standpoint the movie is absolutely beautiful and I can enjoy it well enough on that basis alone.
Overall great, but the pacing is at breakneck speed. It would have benefitted from much more screen time.
It certainly was a spectacle, no idea what the fuck was going on but loved it all the same.
Ridiculously intense and horrifying battles, incredible animation, the funky not-star-wars soundtrack.
Just saw it a week or two ago, loved the designs and the first 20 minutes but it's the most blatant "we cut 80% of the plot" thing I've ever seen lmao
I need a 12 episode version
It was ahead of its time when they gave us the most divorced man ever,
Elon MuskIron Mask, who made it everyone's problem.It's a really really bad film. The writing is insane, the pacing all over the place, and the editing gives me whiplash.
That being said, it's my favorite bad movie and I love watching it at least once a year
Its a awful movie but I really like it.
I use this as one of a few options to invest viewers in Gundam since it is pretty isolated, contains most of the important tropes, and has a lower time investment than even the OG compilation movies.
Its so unfinished down to being outright incoherent at times. I appreciate its first 20 minutes where it holds itself together and then it just becomes a mess. I will never stop clowning on iron mask, sude is truly definition of the wojank holding up a smug mask while crying and malding underneath.

Awkward overall as a movie due to production problems that everyone knows about.
Fantastic animation.
Some of the best urban combat in the franchise in terms of how "real" it is / how "alive" the locale is, with the civilians scurrying around and liberal collateral casualties sprinkled in.
Eternal Wind haunts me to this day.
Amazing animation and some of my favorite mecha designs but it really should have been a tv show. It just does not have the time to tell the story it wants to.

Liked the f91 though. The 2.0 Mg was a great build.
From what I remember, the beginning is beautiful and I loved every second of it. After that wore off it was hard to follow.
Way better than I expected, but it's PAINFULLY obvious it was a series cut down into a movie. F91 should get a reboot and the full series it intended to have.
It is completely impossible for what F91 meant then to be dragged into the present day.
It is not a series cut down to a movie.
It is a loose outline for the beginning of a series padded out to movie length.
They weren't produced, but 13 episodes were written. Then they were rewritten and condensed into a movie.

Today I learned something, because yeah, that 13 episode thing comes up everywhere when you look it up. It definitely should be clarified better lol.

It has a great opening scene and is pretty meh after that
It’s pretty bad
The beginning was good. The ending was good. Everything else is wildly incoherent.
The Sonic 06 of Gundam Movies
its good.
i love this movie I know it doesn’t make sense but honestly this shit hits
Loved it
My favorite Gundam but a pretty weak movie
No one talks about it much because it's short, largely considered not a great movie, and overshadowed by Crossbone. The suit only appears in the movie and I think part of Crossbone.
As for what I thought of the movie, I didn't hate it, but I'd love to see it in the original full series format it was conceived of as. I love the suit itself, it's one of my favorites.
I've never seen it but the animation looks decent
It’s probably because it’s not available to watch on any of the major platforms
It's a good movie, I enjoyed it more than CCA. Wish it would've continued
It’s a very pretty movie with some great scenes scattered throughout - and the opening invasion sequence is pretty iconic - but as others have said it really suffers from being (half of a?) tv show condensed into a film. That and I’ve just never cared for Tomino’s obsession with war orphan antics.
It was trash. And it was just a reboot of the Zeon saga with the Ronah family as Zabi fillers.
The movie is dope as hell but it doesn’t have enough story for me to fully understand, I wish it got a full series.
Its a compilation movie for a show that doesnt exist.
I loved it and it also makes me angry that a full series wasn’t made
Oof it had problems but sure was pretty to watch!
Amazing animation and mecha designs
I would love to see it, but it’s not on any streaming service in Canada. Any suggestions?
One of my favorites. I wish it would have gotten a series so bad.
It was the bonus footage on my G Gundam disc I watched as a kid
Looks interesting, shame it suffers from crushed and rushed into a movie. Also hot take but I hate the crossbone vanguard mobile suits, not just because I’m salty on the jegans got wrecked by them but because I really don’t like their design. Yes I get the idea, yes tech wise they’re more advanced, but their designs just irk me like they’re incomplete or something.
It's messy it really needed a full series. It also sets up so much of the late universal century but so much is hidden in secondary media. It would be great if they made this into a real series one day.
A mess of a plot but the action scenes were intense af and the designs were juciy
Pure gibberish and wasted potential. Literally the only thing memorable about the movie is the shell mama.
Should not be existed tbh
Pacing is a bit wierd but understandable given it was originally planned to be an seasonal anime rather than a movie. Also my second/third favorite gundam protag couple.
The movie is terrible.
Robot fights are okay.
I've watched it yet 🤧. Yeah I feel ashamed 😭
dont like it. dont like the ms too. iron mask is pathetic temu darth vader. hat eth unmasked f91 more. i dont like the formula 90s in general.
It's because Seabook sucks, Kincade Nau is the good one
It can be one of the best Gundam piece of media of all time (specially for visual, storytelling and coreography) if it wasn't for the rushed script approximating character motivation and plot in the second half of the movie
Apart from the fact that it's hastily put together and a bit confusing at times, it's one my favourites so far.
Best looking pile of shit I've ever seen
I liked it. I just wish there was more of it.
all i want is a remake in 50 episode anime because it's look sooo cool, maybe one of the best gundam anime but bandai is jerk and don't let Tomino doing his masterpiece
Oh no city is being attacked
yay they escaped
bro where did this gundam come from
...and then I dropped it for reasons I don't remember
maybe I'll rewatch it someday
Watched it earlier this year or was it last year? The F91 is one of my favorite Gundam designs now.
The animation is actually on par with modern anime.
I think it needs an anime that goes all the way to crosbone
I didn't really understand how it fit in - was it UC? If so, who are these rando space pirates with wildly different mobile suits? I never knew if it was AU or not.
It's UC but significantly later than any other UC show, its set in 0123 (as compared to the original series being 0079)
Ohhhhhhhhh ok, thanks for clarifying 😅 Was there any prelude and tho whom the randos were? What happened to any Zeon faction by then?
There is a F90 manga that acts as a prequel to the events of the movie, but personally i haven't ever read it. And at the time F91 was made CCA was meant to be the last story of the Fed v Zeon conflict and this was meant to start a new era in Gundam. It and Victory didn't quite work as all involved wanted it to and side stories and then more significantly, Unicorn, brought back Zeon as remnants of remnants of remnants after CCA. But even still at least as of these days the canon is that Zeon as a movement fully dies out by the time of late UC, and their last moments of significance are during the UC 0090s.
It has the worst dub I’ve ever heard
Really good. I didn’t really notice much bad pacing, other than Seabook’s friends feeling underdeveloped. Maybe the negative reviews came from the theatrical cut rather than the director’s cut. I do wish there was a series
Too old 🥱
