Anime Expo Cinema Nights presents the classic anime Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow, the second entry in the Gundam film series.
After managing to survive attacks by Zeon’s Char Aznable and Garma Zabi, the crew of Federation warship White Base and its mobile suits must battle Zeon forces through Asia, Europe, and the Atlantic Ocean if they are to reach Earth Federation’s headquarters alive. During that process many of its crewmembers must overcome their fears, losses, immaturities, and insecurities in order to survive.
Soldiers of Sorrow is praised for its mature themes, character development, and its darker, more introspective tone, solidifying the series’ reputation as a groundbreaking work in the mecha genre.
This film will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
