Fans of the old Universal Century timeline will be glad to see this one lining up as Bandai Visual has announced a new Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 – Stardust Memory Blu-ray box set for next yet. Set to debut on January 29th, 2016, it’ll run for 25,000 yen and will contain the full thirteen episode run. According to the updated product page for it, it’ll contain the clean opening and closing, a booklet and a new box to hold the whole release. While it contains the materials we’ve seen previously, including the original CD/picture drama, it also features some significant upgrades. There’s a newly recorded audio commentary for episodes 1 and 10 and there will also be a new picture drama created for it.
Sadly, no English language subtitles are being included nor the previously recorded dub from Bandai Entertainment.
Plot concept: U.C. 0083. Three years after the end of the catastrophic One Year War, peace on Earth and the colonies is shattered by the presence of the Delaz Fleet, a rogue Zeon military group loyal to the ideals of the late dictator Gihren Zabi. Delaz Fleet’s ace pilot Anavel Gato, once hailed as “The Nightmare of Solomon”, infiltrates the Federation’s Torrington base in Australia and steals the nuclear-armed Gundam GP02A “Physalis” prototype. Rookie pilot Kou Uraki—with the aid of Anaheim Electronics engineer Nina Purpleton and the crew of the carrier Albion—pilots the Gundam GP01 “Zephyranthes” prototype in an attempt to recover the stolen Gundam unit and prevent another war from breaking out.
