Released in Japan in 1988, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack is the first original theatrical Gundam feature film. It serves as a sequel to the TV series Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ that ended the year prior. Franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino serves as director, with returning staff members that include lead mechanical designer Yutaka Izubuchi, character designer Hiroyuki Kitazume and composer Shigeaki Saegusa. Set in UC 0093, the film returns its focus to Amuro Ray, the hero of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. Amuro faces off against his former rival Char Aznable, who has emerged from hiding to lead another Neo Zeon movement with a goal of forcing humanity off Earth and into space. More than 20 years after its original release, Char’s Counterattack received a follow up with Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, an OVA adaptation of the novel series of the same name. The film is available on home video in North America from Right Stuf and has streamed on services like Netflix.

The 1995 Sega Saturn Mobile Suit Gundam game has a mix of stills and fully animated retakes of iconic scenes. Its after 0083 finished but before 08th started so the aesthetic kind of in-between.
