Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin V: Clash at Loum (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin V: Loum no Kaisen), the anime’s fifth episode, opened in Japan on September 2 in 35 theaters — more than double the previous four episodes’ 15 theaters.
Gundam: The Origin manga creator Yoshikazu Yasuhiko stated in September that “there will be more” of the anime series.
Yasuhiko designed the characters in the first Gundam anime, and he serves as the chief director and storyboarder for the Gundam: The Origin anime.
The anime project adapts Yasuhiko’s manga of the same name, which in turn is inspired by the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime’s story.
