I was hoping this was going to end with a call to help so I could then recommend Bunny Drop. Because the internet has poisoned my brain, so why not share the damage?
It should honestly be fine, it’s a pretty standalone entry in the Gundam UC timeline. Though the idea of seeing Hathaway without having watched Gundam 0079, or Char’s Counterattack is interesting.
Hopefully it will make you want to go back and enjoy the other Universal Century shows. They’re all available on Crunchyroll, and Char’s Counterattack is on Netflix.
The feels were real and the dance scene’s animation was SO incredible. As soon as the montage started my wife took in a breath and said “I’m not ready for this”, it was devastating.
