Encounters in Space (bad name, but whatever) feels like an actual film much more than the other two entries. Perhaps because it *is* originally designed as an ending; it doesn't feel weirdly truncated like the prequels.
This entry also has by far the best animation of the three. The writing has been epic before, but here the visuals live up what was promised.
The level of brutality on display is also more in line with what's happening in the story, and a few of the deaths were quite impactful.
I'm moving onto Zeta Gundam now (the show, not the films this time) and am very excited to see where the franchise goes. This trilogy was a great foundation for a hopefully expansive universe.
