The Gundam.info portal site revealed on Friday that the 13-episode television
series recompilation of the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin anime will premiere on
April 29 on NHK-General. The site also
revealed the series' visual and full title as KidÅ Senshi Gundam: The
Origin Zenya - Akai Suisei (Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin - Eve of the Red Comet).
LUNA SEA is performing all three of the anime's opening songs. The first
opening song is titled "Sora no Uta ~Higher and Higher~." SUGIZO is producing the ending songs.
The
anime project adapts Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga of the same name,
which in turn is inspired by the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime's story. Yasuhiko
designed the characters in the first Gundam anime,
and he serves as the chief director and storyboarder for the Gundam: The Origin anime. Yasuhiko revealed last
year that Gundam: The
Origin is his last anime.
The six-episode
anime debuted in Japanese theaters from 2015 to 2018. The story centers around
the childhood and early adulthood of Char Aznable, the skilled Zeon ace pilot
known as The Red Comet, who serves as antagonist and foil to original series
protagonist Amuro Ray.
