User Reviews

HAIL ZEON!

Char's Counterattack is one of the best anime moves out there. Its got animation that looks amazing even today, a pretty good story, and the sounds and music are dead on. I dont have any complaints with the dub. It helps if you have seen everything up at least to zeta gundam, zz isnt that essential. its nice to see not-so-essential characters like astonage, but where the f is sayla? and another thing: quess must die!
