I thought this 20 years ago but watching it now, it's quite a likeable movie. I love the agony of Char and Amuro's unending befuddlement at his rivals inability to escape gravity. I love the ending of the human spirit coming together to create a miracle.

Tomino speaks about CCA in 2021

The main points:
>Tomino thinks CCA is not good at all with repetitive story and endless battle scenes
>rates it 55 or 60/100
>regrets it couldn't be made with Yasuhiko who would portray Char better in scenes with Quess and Nanai
>calls it an amateurish work and Forrest Gump is better
>explains poor script and pacing caused by coming up with the ending first
>Chan's death forced to reach the conclusion
>wishes he had 30 minutes more
>realized it was a disaster 4/5 through the storyboards
>can't recommend new fans watch it
>>

Tomino is his own harshest critic, he dislikes many of his works, that's how he keep his professional drive alive.

-- It's been about 30 years since Char's Counterattack was released, but what did you yourself feel when you rewatched it?

Tomino: I feel at ease because it was 30 years ago, but if creators become complacent with their own work, it will only deteriorate, so I can't really praise it (laughs).

The fact that Tomino dislikes Zeta and CCA and feels like he did nothing wrong with Turn A and G-Reco should tell you all you need to know.

>>
>>23703704
love the film but I can see why older fans may not like it as his penultimate appearance. I'm sure fans of Seed love it for whatever reason, but I'll be damned if I can't find it. I think CCA kicks ass as a climatic space drama that evokes very basic emotions but in a way that leaves be cathartic.

But I guess what it actually is, is Char has stopped being 'Darth Vader' in perception, instead now being a Joker type.Him going out like a petty little ball of seethe was just as amazing as Ruenthal rebelling for nothing but his own ego/pride. But also I'm just a fan of Tomino in general and I like how sometimes his characters can be so true to their own flaws. It's satisfying to see them be true to who they are. Like the scorpion that stings the frog.

I remember that. This board was so cringey back then, but luckily people have evolved.

lol no, there were some who liked it, either for the mech fights or char-amuro rivalry, but they were there.
besides, a work continues to be evaluated, something that is disliked now, can get fans few years later.
>15 years ago
most of them either were toonamitards who watched UC out of order or forumfags from mahq/ann/gaemfaq/evageeks who circlejerked each other. 00s anime and mecha discourse was dogshit, loud and ill informed, misinformation was rampant and people in general were way more ignorant of the franchise. I won't say things are perfect now but it's way better than back then.

Tomino also publicly stated in his interviews that he hates 0079,Victory, Zeta, Zambot, Ideon, etc...

Half of G-Reco feels like him reintroducing ideas from Turn A and trying to do them again.
Which reinforces the idea that he's never satisfied with his own works, which kind of makes focusing on his opinions of his own work kind of fruitless.

I've seen it in theaters a few times
first was around when The Scorpion King came out, Uni Orlando's AMC would host one of the Orlando anime clubs so they ran it then
caught a Fathom showing... I think once? maybe twice
I def recall the audience popping when Quess dies
did those guys who did the First Trilogy do CCA too? I feel like I caught a good HD edition
>>
>>23706427
Half of the entire human race, plus at least 1/2 the Federation fleet and 2/3 of Zeon's forces dying by the start of Zeta also explains it. It's a fucking miracle that there's people left by the time of Victory. There's a reason why pretty much every skirmish in CCA is like: 2 ships, 3 mobile suits, and 15 dummy balloons per side.
>>
>>23709885
oh yeah the several dozen "half of humanity was wiped out" events from 0079 and 0087 works too, but "AUEG was really a bunch of cats in a trenchcoat as part of a secret jew scheme" is funny

>>23701032
Gonna start reading the Beltorchika's Children manga. Is it a better version of CCA?
>>
>>23710071
it's a direct adaptation of the novel, which ruins Amuro's and Beltorchika's character a bit. There's no Lalah line at the end, so it's automatically inferior version of the story for me.
>>
>>23706427
>>23709885
I liked in 0079 how during the big battles in the latter half of the show it would cut away to random GMs and Zakus getting blown up. Made those battles seem really big.

By comparison, Char's forces in CCA were just 11 Musakas and the Rewloola. The Londo Bell is just 3 Clops and the Ra Cailum.

After a while, you'd assume that Shlomo Conspiracybaum would realize that all that's happening is bumbling Space Nazis are making the entire planet uninhabitable.

Yes, by leaps and bounds. Quess is less annoying (still very annoying but any improvement is something), Gyunei falling for Quess is explained, Chan is gone, and Hathaway is less of a brat.

>>23702174
>wishes he had 30 more minutes
Yeah, me too. I just watched it for the first time last night. The animation was good, but it feels like the big battle episodes of MSG/Z/ZZ, but without the character build ups or ramping up of tension. He just needed more time on characters instead of the (well done) fight scenes. Quess and Hathaway were pointless outside of adding child characters just to have child characters. Chan-Amuro could use a little more development and Chan should replace Kayra in scenes and as the Re-GZ pilot. Other stuff too.

In general, there needs to be more talking and interaction. The movie starts at the peak of an arc, but with out the arc, you're just kind of helicoptered to the top of a mountain with no idea of why everyone else up there on the summit matters. I'm going to check out Beltorchika's Children and see what the hell Tomino was actually trying to execute.
>>
>>23710071
That art definitely is inferior to Kitazume's
>>
>>23713757
>Beltorchika's Children
I'm totally confused on what the difference adn realtionships are between CCA, Hi-streamer, and Beltorchika's Children is. CCA is the main, finished movie, but then HS and BC are two different drafts of it, right? HS came first and was changed during publication to fit closer to the eventual CCA storyline, while BC is the original concept that Tomino went back to and reworked after CCA. Do I have that right?
>>
>>23713797
As Hi-Streamer was serialized in Animage magazine and later presented as Char's Counterattack, I understand some readers may feel confused. I, too, found myself in a predicament, unable to make the final decision on this matter. I'd like you to understand that this situation arose from a misalignment of good intentions among all parties involved. Initially, I had a personal desire to craft Hi-Streamer as a long-running story, separate from the business constraints of television. The Animage editorial team graciously agreed to this vision. We had envisioned a narrative that would incorporate elements of the Char's Counterattack movie while continuing as Hi-Streamer, extending beyond the film's scope. However, when this work was interpreted solely as material for the film,
the possibility of a continuing story vanished, leaving my original intentions hanging in the air. To address this, we reintroduced the Hi-Streamer title
alongside Char's Counterattack from the second volume. Yet, unless there's an outpouring of support from readers, I fear Hi-Streamer may not see a true revival.

- Tomino, in the Afterword of Hi-Streamer

In an interview, Tomino mentioned that Hathaway's Flash was also going to be included into its story. Tomino's desire to craft a long running narrative and escape the trappings of Gundam was unsuccessful, he later tried that again with Gaia Gear.

>while BC is the original concept that Tomino went back to and reworked after CCA.
Since Animage had published HS novel, Kadokawa missed out on opportunity to have a direct tie-in to the film. So the editor requested Tomino to pen something and he submitted BC quite quickly.
BC is a motif novel, it is meant to supplement the film as a sort of mixed media. It is not the original concept, just one of the many versions being thrown around (one version Tomino sent to the film committee straight up did not have Mobile Suits in them).
>>
>>23711070
>The overarching message is that all of that valor, brotherhood, and sacrifice is in service to a handful of people who absolutely could change the world for the better, but don't; rendering the actions of those soldiers utterly pointless
>>
>>23714602
So we basically don't really have a concrete idea of how the story was suppose to go down aside from:

>Char wishes to deal a fatal blow to the EF
>Amuro is trying to live a better life
>Hathaway takes over the reins as protagonist when Char and Amuro's final confrontation ends with nothing really changing
>>
>>23714602
>one version Tomino sent to the film committee straight up did not have Mobile Suits in them
Damn, I would do unspeakable things in order to be a fly on the wall during the meeting where Tomino pitched that to the corporate suits.

Really though, I unironically think that would have been great. It's a real shame how the suits became the point of the shows/movie/franchise instead of just another literary device that enables characterization.

>>23718611

>>
>>23718611
If you hate Newtype stuff, the explanation is that the Psychoframe amplifier overloaded and killed both him and Char. The resulting blast was enough to nudge the rear part of Axis off course and save the Earth.

If you understand that Newtype stuff in important part of the series, the Psychoframe amplifier overloaded from the sheer will of Amuro and everyone else wanting to stop Axis (that's why even Neo Zeon guy's helped; they were moved by the sheer will to help). They manage to push Axis out of the way, but the result is that Char and Amuro end up going Beyond the Time (aka, their bodies and minds ascended to "Newtype Heaven") and quite literally overcame Earth's Gravity (the thing Char kept claiming weighted down people's souls).

The shots of people on the Earth looking up at the Axis Shock during the credits are to remind the audience that Char just would have killed innocent people and not the people in power oppressing the Spacenoids.
>>
>>23718611
Bandai wanted to keep it ambiguous at the time, although Tomino clearly wanted him dead and eventually Bandai followed along.
