Nope. The first movie take the original five episodes, puts them into a 70 minute movie, and adds about 10 minutes worth of footage to them.

Episdes 6-8 are brand new and the movie version won't be released in Japan until Dec.

Just got done watching GM's Counterattack, and already I can say it's a definite marked improvement over Island Wars.

A little too short for my taste.

And I was really hoping Reiji would have reactivated the Star Build Strike Cosmos to save Sei and for them to fight the Psycho GM together in an epic three way showdown instead of him just taking over the Star Burning and curbstomping it.

I also feel they totally blueballed us on the Sei/Reiji fight.

On the other hand the Z'gock Amazing lived up to it's name and now I want a Z'gock, China got to have a badass moment and Mao's fight was not only funny but also managed to homage both V and G Gundam at the same time.

That's the problem I find with these Build Fighters OVAs: they really should be an hour or 45 minutes long. But at least it didn't feel as rushed as Island Wars was.

Also I Know the feeling, Build Fighters really does know how to get you pumped up for building and buying Gunpla...I want the Psycho GM now.

MAn that's awesome! I really need the Star Burning Gundam to add my line of Build Burning's.

I really do enjoy the fact that Star Burning is the prototype before Build Burning, the whole time I was waiting Reiji to go all "JIGEEEN HAAAAOH!!!!!!" :lol

How many Build Burnings do you have?

x2 Build Burning x2 Kamiki Burning x1 Try Burning.

If Star burning comes with options parts of red GN particle parts like in the OVA, I'll want two.

Oh for a second there I thought you were army building the things.:lol

Hey guys did you know Gundam Wing wasn't the first time Bandai tried to bring Gundam to America?

I give you Doozy Bots:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8um1N78AhY

Intended to air in 1990-91 it was never picked up for broadcast.

Some Gundam anime got release in the US before Gundam Wing. War in the Pocket did got a obscure sub title release on VHS in the early 90's (You can still find VHS copies of it on Ebay).

Before Doozy Bots, there was also a American Hollywood Gundam movie in the works back in the early 80's (http://www.zimmerit.moe/when-gundam-came-to-hollywood/).
