Anime Limited has been doing their work for the UK with the Gundam franchise by bringing out the first series over the last few months. Now they’re starting to look ahead to the next piece of the puzzle and have revealed the basics for Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. The series will be following a similar track in that it’ll be released in two parts with the first part set for an August 29th, 2016 release. The first 1000 sets of it, which will not be retailer specific, will include a limited edition art box to store both halves of the series.
The release will be a bilingual production that uses the previously created dub for the Bandai Entertainment releases. For the Blu-ray, the audio tracks will use the PCM format and will be using the recently remastered version in Japan as an HD native release. It’ll be spread across three discs in this set. Extras for this set include the first two clean opening sequences.
Check out our reviews of the first and second sets from the North American release.
Plot concept: The Earth Federation Stands victorious, but are they still on the right side?
In Zeta Gundam, we see the future world of the Universal Century through a dark mirror. Having defeated the Zeon menace, the Earth Federation has itself become cruel and oppressive. A new generation of Gundam mobile suits is created not to fight for peace, but to punish the enemies of the state, and yesterday’s villains must become today’s heroes in order to balance the scales of justice. When a young civilian named Kamille Bidan is caught up in the rebellion, he little suspects the price he will pay in the fight for freedom.
