The original series can be very long winded and slow paced. This summary movie just wraps everything up. Movie's pace is very smooth. It made me understand what the series is all about. I don't feel lost or missing important plot components. Overall very nicely executed.

i never watched the original series it just felt way too dated these summaries on the other hand with their updated audio tracks i found are much easier to get into and i do recommend them as an alternative to the series so far i don't feel lost in the plot as most summaries often do.

main character
15-16, male, , beltA belt is a flexible band or strap, typically made of leather or heavy cloth, and worn around the waist so as to support trousers or other articles of clothing. It is an accessory that supports trousers or other articles of clothing., bootsBoots are heavy-duty work shoes that are often made of leather and have thick rubber soles. They are usually found stomping on things: floors, people, etc. Generally, typical boots can be as short as angle height (ankle boots), and as long as the mid point of the lower leg (crew length boots). Boots at least longer than crew length would be half boots or higher., CanadianBorn in or has obtained citizenship for the country of Canada, humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., mecha pilotThis character pilots some sort of robot/mecha, be it a mobile suit or whatever else., military uniformA type of outfit worn by military personnel. May also cover armours as long as they are standardised among the troops (e.g. army of ancient Rome).
Military uniforms can be either ceremonial or practical (utilitarian)., mixed heritageThis character has parents of different racial backgrounds or countries. Most frequent is the combination of Japanese and a foreign nationality. In Japan the informal term `half` (ハーフ) is used to describe such people., newtypeA Newtype is theorized to be the next stage of human evolution in the fictional Gundam universe. This minor but groundbreaking metamorphosis is usually expressed as a heightened mental awareness, the result of an evolutionary adaptation to life in space. As such, Newtypes are seen to appear among Spacenoids (space-dwelling human beings), although not exclusively (Amuro Ray, arguably the most famous Newtype, was actually born as an Earthnoid).

Captains of military vessels do not necessarily hold the exact military rank of captain, when such a rank exists.
