Suit Gundam Movies
Following the success of Mobile Suit Gundam in syndication, Yoshiyuki Tomino returned to the series and produced three feature films based on the TV series. Each film is mostly compiled from TV animation, with a substantial amount of new footage in the third film. Each movie runs almost 2 1/2 hours and contains about 13 episodes worth of the TV story. Presenting the series in this compacted form allowed many new fans to be attracted to the series without having to watch all 43 episodes. The three movies, released from 1981-1982, proved to be a massive success. However, fans would have to wait until 1985 to view Zeta Gundam, the sequel to the original series.
