should I only watch the first Mobile Suit Gundam in preparation for this to get a better understanding of and appreciate it better? How Zeta and ZZ and Char's Counterattack?
All I know is that they take place in the U.C.

Looks fantastic, fuck if I'll ever commit to watching UC Gundam though. Who's the character designer? Awesome work.

more zeon remnatn mop up operations it seems

It's during the One Year War, so 0079 is all you need.
>>133915478
Hirotoshi Takaya is doing the Character Designs for the animation, but it's all adapted from a Manga

>>133915422
Just watch them all in production order senpai
0079 is a classic, great show
Zeta is pretty awesome as well, more grim atmosphere
ZZ is weaker and is more of a comedy but it improves in the latter half, controversial show
Char's Counterattack is the conclusion to this whole saga so you may as well watch it. I liked it at any rate

>>133915723
To add onto this senpai, watch the one year war ovas as well, 08th ms team and 0080 are great watches desu

This takes place near the end of the One Year War. The Thunderbolt sector protects Zeon's supply line to A Bao A Qu and is guarded by Snipers with anti-ship cannons hiding in the debris of Side 4. The Federation unit coming to clear the sector is comprised of former residents of Side 4.

It's like how I've wanted a Gundam to LOOK since fucking 0083 and 08th MS Team episode 1.

Char's Counterattack is basically required if you want to get any of UC. It's horribly paced and feels like they cut out even more than F-91 (which was supposed to be a full four cours show), but it's got enough other reasons to see it.

The future is here.

Why can't they just do a fucking reboot of the original for gods sake with these graphics

>>133918183
Because this OVA is meant to promote Bandai models for shilling.
And they can easily shill Origin stuff or classic original design models without needing to animate it again.

>>133917856
The anime is going to be in 4K?

If so my boner is going to expand to the heavens.

>>133918286
I wonder if it's animated in 4K or just upscaled

>>133918183

I think the fact that the 2 main MSs are A Full Armor Gundam and a Crimson Zaku with additional thrusters is somewhat of a tribute to Johnny Ridden

I thought the RX-72 was supposed to be special, but apparently there were a ton of "Gundams" at the time of the OYW?

>>133918814
It could be done if it was drawn on tablets I suppose.

You should know that all the extended universe content has already confirmed that there were multiple gundams by the end of the war. Amuro's Gundam was the prototype unit that collected data for the GMs and other derivatives of the V Project and the most successful since it was paired with a Newtype. 08th MS team had massed produced Gundams and 0080 had an all new unit that was intended to replace the RX-78-2 for Amuro. If the RX-78-2 was so successful, it would make sense that the federation would try to replicate it's success since the GMs weren't quite as good.

Nah, Feddies don't take it. His side does.

>>133923229
Oh? Is it perhaps something to do with them needing more to test. Or rather they want to test a new MS on him but requires al 4 limbs gone?

>>133923522
Yup, that's what happened.

He could only smile.

>>133925162
God damn. Hoping this happens in the first 4 volumes that were translated anyway.

>>133919012
Origin might get the entire adaptation, they already have the RX-78-2 model made and ready to animate.

Plus, they never said they wouldn't adapt the rest of it. It'd just have been way too early to announce that when the first part isn't even done yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D32reoeJtos

>>133925317
I can see them doing the rest of Origin only focusing on specific stories, like Dozle's downfall, Hamon & Ramba and Garma's death.

>>133926409
It depends, I mean Origin obviously doesn't have the budget of Unicorn and yet it has sold a good 80k+ per volume if I remember correctly. This might be enough to push them to just do a full adaptation with a 2 OVA per year schedule.

>>133925317
>RX-78-2 model made and ready to animate.

If they really are gonna animate Origin, they're gonna have to need to make 3 more RX-78-02 models.

That was a promo for this baby right here, but it still could be taken as a hint since it wasn't explicitly stated.

Speaking of which, this model is looking to sell by the truckloads from what I have heard. 3 more models is absolutely perfect for them, that alone might urge them to do it. Reminder that they ended up releasing like 20+ Unicorn frame variants, and they all sold like hotcakes.

F91 was 13 episodes of content. CCA felt more like 26 (or could have been a 26 episode series)

>>133919038
>Will Johnny Ridden ever get his chance to be animated?
You could probably adapt most of MSV-R as 4 episodes, who knows. I'd love to see him animated too, he's such a fun character.

>>133928763
>Origin is set for 4 OVAs only, and that's it.
That's such a weird decision if that's how they're going to play it, because the prequel seems so at odds with 0079.

I wish they'd announce something for the core of the story after they get these weak prequel arcs part out of the way, preferably with the team from Studio 1.

Seeing all this UC Gundam with extremely good animation, I can't help but wish they adapted Origin in its entirety. 0079 aged quite badly in some aspects, and giving it a new polish with the focus of the manga would give us an amazing anime.

Downside is, it'd probably take 10+ years to complete, as they'd want the best quality possible.

>>133931441
>they'd want the best quality possible
I'd buy that if Origin looked better than their TV anime, but it doesn't.

>>133931503
It definitely looks better than IBO.

>>133915723
Unicorn is the conclusion, sorry CCA.

>>133931599
F91 shows that the conclusion wasn't conclusive enough, sorry Unicorn.

Origin is a top notch manga. This is already more than enough, they should bother animatung new stuff instead.

The Psycho Zaku is rigged so that the amputees can move it as if it were an extension of their prosthetic limbs

>>133915422
This one is a side-story that takes place in an alternate version of the original series so you can watch it right away but you should at least see the gundam trilogy movies to get some exposition on the situation

>>133931624
Does it all end with G-Reco? Tominio claimed that it takes place AFTER Turn-A, but it's clear that he doesn't give a flying fuck anymore

>>133938748
Of course it ends with G-Reco. Tomino himself is in G-Reco. He's simply the chronicler of everything that happened before.

>>133928763
It'd be such a fucking ridiculous waste to not adapt the rest. A proper origin adaptation is literally the single greatest possibility for gundam to hit it big somewhere other than Japan, and would obviously be a monstrous success in Japan as well. They have the damn blueprint right there and ready to use
