Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - A New Translation II: Lovers
What they share
Both films are directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Space Runaway Ideon: Contact, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - A New Translation II: Lovers is
You pilot a mech in a civil war, meeting a strange girl on the battlefield. But she's the enemy, enhanced for combat, and your heart aches. Director Tomino finds time for doomed romance amid the laser blasts. It leaves one wondering who can be trusted.
