I must say, this movie was a great beginning for Zeta. Heir to the Stars does a decent job of setting up the new conflict with the Titans, who are supposed to be maintaining the Earth Federation, but very quickly show their colors to be just as corrupt and unpleasant as the previous Zeon forces. The AEUG uprising against them brings a darker political flavor to the series than the original had, and I'm thoroughly enjoying that direction greatly. Moreover, the new Gundam designs are wonderful. The Titans' transformable suits that can turn into jets are just cool, plain and simple, and they make the battle scenes feel much more hectic and frenetic than we had previously.
The characters are what really appealed to me, though. Kamille is such a different sort of main character from Amuro. He'…

After seeing this I would have rather they just re-animated the whole damn thing because the scene that were re-animated were amazing if the whole thing was like that would have have enjoyed it so much more. But this isn't terrible BUT it wouldn't recommend this to someone who hasn't seen the OG Zeta, I would still tell them to go and watch the OG 50 episodes. I would how ever recommend this to someone who's seen Zeta back in the day and forgot the story this is a great way to refresh your memory.

That's the nature of creating a film based on a dense and lengthy animated series, however, some of the choices in regards to what was removed are questionable. The changes and additions made to the flow of the plot between the series and the movie, however, smooth the flow of the movie significantly. While many movie adaptations of lengthy series' feel rushed, awkward, confu…

A New Translation is one of 3 digitally remastered movies that encompasses the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam storyline. The first movie covers approximately one third of the MS Zeta Gundam series.
The digital remastering was not done totally. There would be new scenes added in with wonderful new animation. Just as you're happy and marvelling at the animation they cut to the scenes lifted 100% from the series, which while they might have been remastered look very dated. The switch between the "new" and "old" scenes is very jarring and affected my enjoyment of these movies.
That being said, some new scenes added in were very good and helped with character development. They also cut out a lot of fluff which made the movie much more enjoyable than the series, which tended to move along at a snail'…
