If you loved Turn A Gundam II: Moonlight Butterfly, try Turn A Gundam I: Earth Light

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

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 Turn A Gundam II: Moonlight Butterfly, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Turn A Gundam I: Earth Light is

Cowboy Bebop meets Pacific Rim without the cynicism. A lunar scout sent to prep Earth for invasion instead falls for the planet and its people, then wakes a colossal ancient war machine when hostilities ignite. Quiet idealism wins the day, carried by a soft-spoken teen and mecha older than memory.
