The end of 2019 saw Bandai Visual bring out the Blu-ray release for the theatrical recompilation cut of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation through newly reduced-priced editions. Now, the company is going back to the core TV series itself for a new release that includes English subtitles (and the original opening and closing sequences.) The 50-episode series is getting released as two box sets that arrive on November 26th, 2020, and now the packaging design has arrived as they’re part of the UC Library grouping. They’re both priced at 20,000 yen and will include the extras from before with the clean opening and closings, digital archive from the 2008 set, and a booklet.
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.
