Hype! A movie based on the horrendous filler episode from the original gundamu series! I'm sure this isn't going to be trash.

To think, they'd make a movie remake of the shitty filler episode that everybody, including the creator of the gundam series himself, thinks is bad. But they won't just make an actual 0079 remake. Who wanted this? Who thought of this even?

For what's worth, I watched the series version of the OG Gundam first, before getting bored of its formula at ep.24 and switching to the movies, so I watched that episode too, and honestly I didn't find it bad at all (I could name other anime episodes I find bad myself (certainly way worse than this) - subjectively of course).
At any rate, I don't think I'm too interested in rewatching it with modern footage myself, but I can think of a reason why this is remade


P.S. Also OP, you didn't like the og episode and yet you'll be watching the remake? How come?

Mostly curious, plus if they're deciding to make a full blown movie out of it, I imagine it's going to be completely different than the original episode, I don't think I'll go into it expecting the same quality as the episode at least. I just find it weird how they decided to make a movie out of a random episode of the original Gundam. Especially the episode that the original creator himself thought was not as good as the rest of the episodes and made it so they never had it released in North America.

Also seeing Gundam in non-70's art/animation is very appealing to me.

I haven't talked to many people about gundam in general, so who knows, maybe there's an entire paradise full of gundam filler episode fans out there waiting to find you. I don't think the episode is the worst thing ever made, so I don't think it's weird to even think it's a good episode.

The episode isn't even that bad, plus it's not really "filler" because it's the only episode in the series to lay out the map.

The thing is Yoshikazu can probably do whatever he wants with this project. If I were him I'd make it totally weird, hilarious and absurd.

There's a manga that this is based on, and it contains various MSV units lik the black Local type Gundam. It's probably made to sell kits, I wouldn't be surprised to see P-Bandai releases of Aqua GM and Zaku Marine coming along with this.

Technically, the movie trilogy is a remake lol

But if you want a remake with modern animation, play the games like the PS2 games or Giren's Greed.

I'd say the movie is considered compilation movies, not remakes. Unless if there's a trilogy I'm unaware of.

Considering the movies (well, most notably the third one) has some major changes, they're good enough as a remake for me. Anyway, the movie trilogy is the official canon so that episode in question isn't either.

The third film might as well be considered a remake considering how much it cuts and changes, along with the fact it redid upwards of 90% of the animation for the big screen.

I don't think I disliked that episode. Anyway, if they make a whole movie based on an unpopular episode, then they probably got something interesting planned.

I just watched gundam for the first time this year so this timing is quite perfect to me. The source episode for this didn't stand out as being really good or bad so...ok...why is this being remade instead of something like, the last of episode of the original gundam. The last episode was already great, but even better visuals would be even better. Giving good visuals to any episode in the first half of this series seems a bit pointless since there weren't really any standout episodes except for that fight against Garma.

I love when we get to see stories from a minor character's POV, so this movie seems just up my alley.
There was enough potential within the episode that I could definitely see this work as an expanded retelling.
Heck, I wouldn't mind if it time skipped into later parts of the Universal Century
Did Doan live the rest of his days on that island or did fate bring him back into the fold, like perhaps during the events of Zeta Gundam? What about Rolland and the kids?
If it wasn't obvious, I definitely don't hate this episode.

Exactly what I was thinking. I just finished the Origin manga and I have absolute faith in any way he interprets the original series. He has true love and understanding of the story and will absolutely make this something beautiful.

Also I think this is almost guaranteed, because how are they gonna make a new entry in a toy commercial franchise without advertising toys?

I'm baffled by the decision to make this, but I absolutely love it. I'm really looking forward to this.

On that note, the version of MSG I watched was one which removed the episode. Do you think I should watch it before this movie?

Yas explains why in his Forbes interview:
When it comes to the episode Cucuruz Doan's Island from Mobile Suit Gundam, this was effectively a side-story. So when plans are made on doing digest-type movies, these kinds of episodes are prime candidates. During the production of the original anime, this episode was outsourced to a completely different team to give the main team more time to focus on the core story. This meant the episode’s animation quality was bad, but it still had a great story. That means when I went to the head of Sunrise and asked if I could re-animate it and he said there were no issues with that.
