History Anime / MobileSuitGundamF91

* WastedSong - "Kimi wo Mitsumete ~The Time I'm Seeing You~" by Hiroko Mizoguchi; it was intended to be the TV series' theme song, but when those plans were thrown out and the story was turned into a movie the song went completely unused. Nowadays it pops up very rarely, for example in ''[[GundamVsSeries Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost]]''.

* {{Gundamjack}} - Seabook follows the proud tradition of barely trained pilots stealing military property.

Given how none of the characters from the previous UC series show up and the considerably long time jump, it's apparent that (had it been a series) this would have been to be a Gundam equivalent of sorts to ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration,'' perhaps even more so than ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam.''

** There's a good bit of FanWank over Carozzo's remark that the afterimages appear to have mass. The current explanation seems to be the same one that makes dummy balloons work: combat computers assign CGI models to ANYTHING that roughly matches a given mobile suit's shape, assuming that it's the real deal. This is done because MinovskiyPhysics messes with all forms of electronic detection, and is intended to help the pilot, but obviously (as with dummy balloons) led to people figuring out ways to exploit them.

*** the big thing that allows this in-universe is refinements to power-plants and internals allow them to be smaller and for the F-91 in particular the Variable Speed Beam Rifle(VSBR for short) for it's main weapon system which allows it to have the effect of 2 different types of beam weapons in one system long fat beams for dealing with groups of enemies or short thin beams for sniping and piercing all kinds of defenses even beam shields which allows the F-91 to deal with multiple types of targets without needing to change or carry various beam weaponry compared to older suits.

** a [[WhatCouldHadBeen MSV]] released showed some planned upgrades among which was upgrades to the F-91 that gave it 4 VSBR rifles which is pretty overkill considering the effect it had with just 2 and another a take on the long line of "Heavy weapons systems" variants of gundam's which is shorthand for "put as much guns and missile launchers on it has the frame can handle without killing performance too badly".

* AristocratsAreEvil - The Crossbone Vanguard are a bunch of Aristocrats without a kingdom. Later supplements would indicate that they're affiliated with what would later become the Zanscare Empire from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]''.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong - At one point in the movie, a couple chords from 'The Imperial March' can be heard.

* SlipperySlope - ''F91'' and its side materials mark the point where Anaheim Electronics goes from kind of scummy[[hottip:*:As in ''ZetaGundam'', selling MS to both sides, with the vague justification of "The Titans were onto us, we had to!"]] to '''very''' scummy, all because they lost their Federation contracts to SNRI. In the manga ''Silhouette Formula 91'' Anaheim steals the F91's tech for their own Silhouette Gundam[[hottip:*:Whose model number is RX''F-91''. Subtle.]], and the SuperFamicom game ''Gundam F90: Formula Wars 0122'', where they help a group of Mars-based Zeon remnants invade Earth, apparently as a "screw you" to the Feddies. If you believe that Anaheim represents ''Gundam''[='s=] old sponsors (see WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic below), this would qualify as a TakeThat against them.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: ''F91'' marks the first appearance of SNRI[[hottip:*:the Strategic Naval Research Institute]], the Federation's in-house think-tank that supplants Anaheim Electronics as the big mobile suit manufacturer for the rest of the Universal Century stories. BigNameFan Mark Simmons observed that this movie is also the first ''Gundam'' production under their new owners, '''S'''u'''nri'''se...
** This may be critical research failure, as Gundam was always owned by Sunrise, from its inception in 1979.

* TheJimmyHartVersion - At one point in the movie, a couple chords from 'The Imperial March' can be heard.

Mobile Suit Gundam F91 is a 1991 anime film, which was Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's attempt to launch a new Gundam saga, set thirty years after Char's Counterattack. He re-teamed with character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and mecha designer Kunio Okawara for the occasion. The movie was first released in Japan on March 16, 1991.
