The manga tells the story of Cucuruz Doan, a character who appeared in the similarly-titled 15th episode of Yoshiyuki Tomino’s original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series.
Yasuhiko’s Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is also inspired by and re-imagines the original Mobile Suit Gundam series.
Sunrise revealed at the “Dai 2-kai Gundam Conference” event on Wednesday that it is producing a new anime film titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island (Kidō Senshi Gundam: Cucuruz Doan no Shima).
The announcement describes the film as a retelling of the 15th episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam television anime.
