The folks at Bandai Visual are continuing their work on bringing out their Gundam properties under the current unified library approach and they’re knocking back the sets with solicitations pretty well. The next one lined up won’t be here for a little bit more yet as they previously scheduled the Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ series for 2021. The forty-seven episode series is replicating its two Blu-ray box sets with a January 27th, 2021 release date. Each set will be priced at 20,000 yen when they arrive.
With that just over a month away at this point, we now have a look at the finalized packaging for both sets that fits in with the other recent releases in the box style design.
Each set comes with English subtitles for the show and the extras include a 48-page booklet, a new original video called Gundam Frag, and the clean opening and closing sequences. The Gundam Frag piece is listed as “A short film that gives a glimpse of the everyday and extraordinary aspects of the battlefield of the universe century” and is done in two parts with each set getting one.
Check out our review of the first half and second half of the series.
Plot Concept: It is the year 0088 of the Universal Century in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ. The badly damaged assault cruiser Argama docks at the run-down space colony of Shangri-La for much-needed repairs. While the Argama is in drydock, a young junk dealer named Judau Ashta sneaks aboard in an attempt to steal the Zeta Gundam. He wants to sell it in order to help his sister, but instead he finds himself coerced into joining the Argama’s crew. Unfortunately for Judau, the Argama is being pursued by a dedicated Neo Zeon officer named Mashymre Cello. In order to protect both his sister and himself, Judau must master the Argama’s newest mobile suit, the ZZ Gundam.
