It is one of my favorite Anime, with great themes, visuals, broad cast of characters and amazing OST. If you never heard of it, it's a Gundam Anime and it was made by a lot of the same people who made Kill La Kill, and it's a great 27 episode series (which is on Netflix, so no excuse if you are subscribed ;p). Please give it a watch.
Paul, you'll come to find that if someone is in this forum for whatever reason, they've heard of TTGL.
On that note, love TTGL. It's up there as one of my favorite movie duologies. They're good movies. Really good sound design on those movies. And they're a model of pacing those movies. Great fights as well those movies.
...*cough*...just, ah...just gonna drop this here.
Spoiler:
While I've only seen the show once (well, once and a half), I've seen the movies several times and love the hell out of them. Apart from being higher quality than the show, they really do well to string together the themes, story, and relationships that when a character dies or a character reaches a realization, it hits hard. They get extra points since the sound design for those movies is absolutely amazing, and there are only two episodes that I say people should watch if they want to forgo watching the show and watch the movies instead (specifically, the hot springs episode since it's absolutely hilarious, and Rossiu's recruitment episode for story reasons). As an editor's note, of sorts, I would still recommend the show as it's just different enough to be a unique experience, and vice versa if you've seen the show but not the movies.
But I don't really see it as lazy. I think TTGL-hen is a good example for what a compilation movie should be- a good amount of new content (in the way of animation, music, and even possibly story or character development), higher quality, and only cutting stuff that, if lost, doesn't take too much away from the overall end product (and I think the second movie in particular handles this rather interestingly, though the first does it in a way that leads to a crowning moment of feels/awesome that, I think, isn't matched by anything else in the series). Not to forget the Parallel Works that were released in preparation for the movies (most of which are great- surprising amount of effort put into promotional material).
