"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| This was a fun surprise to watch today, but it's not really a coherent thing, so don't expect too much from it. Probably more than anything this is an ad for the gunpla that will be made based on the new designs here. Whoever was in charge of animating Amuro's expressions NAILED it. Seeing Amuro throughout this was my favorite part, it makes me really wish they would give 0079 the Origin treatment. Sunrise plz That and the part where the G40 grabbed the Zaku's face and yeeted it. That was sick. |
 |
| I really dig the retro aesthetic they were going with. Nailed the character designs for sure. The CG mechs were pretty great too. Gundam does CG mechs well so I am not surprised there, lol. A weird glimpse at an alternate retelling is super neat. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| Yes, I liked the retro design too, they even reused original voice acting. Sunrise is up to something with this, not only gunplas. |
| We can finally add this to our lists. This was a nice little call back to Mobile Suit Gundam. I want a remake of the Mobile Suit Gundam series so bad though. |
 |
| Was nice to watch though reminds me of how little mecha is appearing nowadays. |
| I wouldn't mind a 0079 remake that looks like this. These are the best CG mobile suits to date. Also it's always nice hearing Ikeda and Furuya reprising their roles. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| That was cool. I liked how RX called to Amuro. |
| Can anyone tell me who the woman in the beginning is? Also completely loved the character designs and animation, they really used the 3d models to their advantage, it was amazingly choreographed and I really enjoyed how they updated the art style while still staying true to the original design principles (whether it was the effect art, background or the characters themselves) |
| Nice Amuro design... the RX78 new style? why not... the 3DCGI? Mmh... The Zeon intruder parading, waving, chopping like it's a normal day? XD Enjoyment: 4/5 Score: 5/10 What was the point to create an events altering character just for some advertisement spot remaking scenes? @CodeBlazeFate Seen? Who the hell is this "Camalia/Camelia Ray"?? @Jacksnapp Tem's sister who happens to be into engineering and fancy dresses? His secret space wife, since he left Earth for so long? Maybe another dimension's Amuro 's mother who plays the same role than Tem Ray in the world we know? I'm not sure we really want to know... Switch_Z said: they even reused original voice acting. I don't think they would dare hiring another actor than Furuya to play Amuro, unless they really had to. Even Ikeda was only "replaced" once, I think. AshitaNoJonas said: I don't remember that woman from the anime (or the Origin manga). Since we have her name, you're welcomed to build your own theories about her. ;) (I forgot to say that I like the way they "retained" some resemblance with the original Amuro drawing (although I still love the perfected design by Yasuhiko) |

| This was a pretty cool short movie. I especially liked how oldschool this felt, because of the music and character designs. But I'm not sure really sure what the beginning is supposed to be based on. I don't remember that woman from the anime (or the Origin manga). Also weird how half the video is just the credits... :D @Rei_III Just watched it. ^^ |
| I didn't really like this. It was like an odd version of the original show crunched into 7 minutes. It wasn't even really coherent. Like others said, I assume it's an ad for a new show or Gunpla sets. |
| What kind of colony is that? What is it based on? According to ANN, The space colony in the beginning of the video is designed after an Alfa Romeo wheel, while its interior is heavily inspired by Monaco. O_o Gundam wiki: Instead of Side 7 Noa being an O'Neill Cylinder at L3, it is a Stanford Torus in Low Earth Orbit similar to Laplace. The colonists are also depicted wearing 18th century-style fashion. Voices and soundtracks got reused. Well, I wouldn't try using another voice actor or change the iconic music, so that's fair. But this, and some weird visual effects from the late 70s-early 80s were really strange in the context of a 2020 anime and its overall style. Char's kick got replicated too. Somehow this whole thing looks more like a video fragment from a game than an anime. But what's even the point of wasting resources on this? Ah yes, gunpla ads. The ED with all those sketches was pretty nice though. |

| So what's the deal with Amuro's mom on the bridge standing ominously in front of the Gundam? Is this some Eva stuff where she's part of the Gundam somehow and why the robot was chasing and calling out to Amuro? |
| The blue close-up is as iconic as ever. This just missing Amuro's scream. |
