A 13-episode television series recompilation of the anime began airing on the public television station NHK-General in Japan on April 29 under the title KidÅ Senshi Gundam: The Origin Zenya – Akai Suisei (Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin – Eve of the Red Comet).
The official Facebook account for Adult Swim’s Toonami block announced on Friday that the block will start running the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin anime on July 6 in the United States.
Yasuhiko designed the characters in the first Gundam anime, and he served as the chief director and storyboarder for the Gundam: The Origin anime.
The anime project adapts Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s manga of the same name, which in turn is inspired by the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime’s story.
