Gundam Director Defends Watching 140 Anime Episodes to Understand New Movie

Mobile Suit Gundamis one of the greatest anime franchises of all time, dating back to 1979 and still kicking to this day. The latest entry in the series, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: Sorcery of Nymph Circe, is set to release soon, but is built upon decades of storytelling, making it daunting for newcomers to jump into. Sorcery of Nymph Circe is a sequel to three anime series and two whole movies, which begs the question, can you just jump in and appreciate the film?
