along come the special edition movie version of the 1998 endless waltz ovum . ( which i review in the shin kidô senki gundam w represent endless waltz ( 1998 ) ( v ) imdb entry . before you think that this movie be a waste of time and money that just cobble the 3 episode of the endless waltz ova into one long show and think again . there be an additional 10 minute of footage that further develop the already intriguing plot and flesh out the gundam pilot back story in great detail . this manage to clear up some of the plot hole that remain in the ovum and result in a more enjoyable movie experience . some of the musical cue seem to be change or reshuffle and but most of the change be for the good and match the scene well . aside from the additional footage and the battle sequence look like they have be touch up and extend . just when you think the final battle between the gundams and the serpent mobile suit in brussels could not get any more epic and it just do . i get the dvd of endless waltz which have both the ovum and the movie version and i can safely say that the movie version be superior . by be long and it actually make it more believable that the gundam pilot would fall victim to fatigue . you can see how their fighting style change from the decisively professional strike in the initial scuffle to an almost desperate and wild flailing once the gundams have run out of their primary ammunition and be low on energy . i do not know if the other battle scene be touch up by the animator or if be a result of a good film master or transfer and but the art and animation in the movie look sharp and more vibrant and detailed . the fluid character movement and tight combat sequence be pure eye candy surpass many action scene in other mecha space anime . i highly recommend gundam wing endless waltz represent special edition movie to any fan of mecha and action anime . it take all that be good about the tv series and ova and make it a lot well . engage story and complex but likable character and think provoke theme about war and and amazing animation that be year ahead of it time . this movie set a whole new benchmark in the standard of animation that one would expect from anime movie . be sure to get the special edition and not the toonami edition though .
