646f9e108c After a generation of peace, the Earth Federation has begun to build new space colonies to house humanity's growing population. But a new force, the aristocratic Crossbone Vanguard, plans to seize the colonies of the newly-constructed Frontier Side for itself. As their home becomes a battlefield, a handful of young civilians struggle to escape the conflict. Armed with the state-of-the-art Gundam F91, Seabook and his friends put up a desperate struggle against the Crossbone menace… This Gundam almost copies the original Gundam story. The hero Arno Seabrook a civilian becomes the Gundam pilot to stop the enemy, only he didn't steal the Gundam this time he was drafted to pilot it more or less. This story takes place 30 years after the events in Gundam Char's Counter Attack, so no Charux Zabine is not Char Aznable's son even if the resemblance might be there.<br/><br/>The Villain is a Masked(Darth Vader type baddie)mad man with plans of his own empire Cosmo Babylon, Korozo Ronah aka. Iron Mask. He is also the father of the lead female Cecily Fairchild.<br/><br/>It has some impressive battle scenes climaxing with Arno in the Gundam verses Iron Mask in his giant mobile armor (about 4 times the size of the Gundam)the Rafflesia?<br/><br/>This has become my #1 of the Gundam series, even after 15 years the animation of this holds up. Just wish they had made it the series it was mean to be. There's always the Crossbones Gundam manga that takes place 10 years after Gundam F91. Once upon a time, someone said "Hey, it's time to make another 50something episode UC Gundam epic!" And everyone agreed. Then Japan's economy went bad. "Oh, no! We have to make it a 13 episode OVA!" And everyone still thought it could work. Then Japan's economy crashed. "Oh, no! We've filmed the first 2 episodes, but ran out of money! We have to make it a two hour movie!" And it shows… Even worse, this movie was ironically in theatres at the same time as Last Blitz of Zeon, the Stardust Memory movie, and failed on every level to produce a decent expansion of the gundam universe. One word "Cosmobabylonia!" no… no…
