It’s been about seven years since Bandai Visual in Japan brought out the Blu-ray release for the theatrical recompilation cut of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation. They’re now re-releasing what came before but putting it through a price-reduction where it’ll land on December 25th, 2019 priced at 10,000 yen. That’s more than half the 22,050 yen of the original set – and it’ll still contain English subtitles.
Check out our review of the US Blu-ray release.
Plot Concept: The Earth Federation stands victorious, but are they still on the right side?
Universal Century 0087. The Titans, a bellicose faction among the Earth Federation Forces, grows powerful and tyrannical, even using poison gas to suppress a civil unrest. Dissident soldiers from the same military stand against them, forming a resistance group called the A.E.U.G. Kamille Bidan, a civilian student, gets entangled in this conflict when he accidentally steals the Gundam Mk-II and joins the A.E.U.G., running away from his home space colony. Then he begins to fight along with Char Aznable, a former Zeon ace pilot who has infiltrated the Earth Sphere for reasons of his own.
