Right Stuf has revealed one of their next projects in working with Sunrise to bring out more Gundam properties with Mobile Suit Gundam: MS Igloo scheduled. The nine-episode series is set for a July 11th, 2017 debut on DVD and Blu-ray. They’ll be priced at $49.99 and $64.98 respectively. It’ll have the original Japanese language track with English subtitles and will be spread over three discs. Extras for it include the clean opening and closing sequences.
The project was directed by Takakshi Imanishi and has not seen high definition release in North America previously.
Plot concept: Universal Century 0079. With the outbreak of the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon seeks new weapons and technology to counter the numerical advantage of the powerful Earth Federation. For this purpose, Zeon assembles some of its finest engineers and officers to form the 603rd Technical Evaluation Unit, stationing them aboard the converted civilian vessel Jotunheim. Their mission is to test new prototype weapons, from long-range artillery, to tanks, to mobile pods. The crew of the Jotunheim evaluate these experimental weapons with care as they are drawn ever closer to the battlefront. But when the Federation begins its counteroffensive, surpassing Zeon’s mobile suits with its development of the Gundam and the mass-produced GM, even more devastating new weapons are needed. Bear witness to a side of the One Year War that until now has been shrouded in secrecy.
