The new theatrical version of Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam The Island of Kukurusdogan, will be the story of the original theatrical version of Gundam, which has been released in theaters for the first time in theaters 40 years after Mobile Suit Gundam Meets in the Universe. The director of this theatrical version will be the author of the manga series Mobile Suit Gundam Origins, that is, the original Gundam character director Yasuhiko Ryowa. If Yuki Tomino is the "Father of Gundam", I think Yasuhiko Ryowa can also be called "Gundam's Uncle"...
"Mobile Suit Gundam The Island of Kukurus Dogan" is adapted from the plot of the 15th episode of the original Gundam, where Amro drives the Gundam to an uninhabited island where there lives Gian deserter Dogan who drives the unarmed Zaku in self-defense, and the orphans who protect their parents who have been killed by themselves to apologize for their sins... In fact, I am curious, the TV version of this story only has one episode of the plot volume, even if the story itself has depth, but to adapt into a theater version of more than an hour, the amount of plot alone is still a bit far-fetched, and it will definitely add a lot of new content.
Elderly director Yasuhiko Ryowa said that his work is about how the nameless little people help each other and fight against the huge enemy... However, the TV version of that year deleted some content due to many restrictions, so I wanted to reproduce it in the form of a movie...
It seems that the director will answer the author's questions in the work...
The voice actor of "Gundam", Amro, toru Furuya, also sighed, "It is a blessing to be able to voice 15-year-old Amro after 43 years of dubbing for "Gundam"..." Amazingly, if you listen to the games, sound content, and animations related to the "Gundam" launched in recent years, the content of the voice of the young Amro, you will find that Furuya's control of the young Amro voice line is still quite accurate, and it is not easy for the old voice actor who is already old, because The Shaya voiced by Shuichi Ikeda is basically difficult to reproduce the voice line of the young age... You can only control the tone...
Recently, the official confirmation of the release time of this theatrical version is June 3, 2022, and it is currently in production. Of course, now that the publicity has come out, the progress of the production should be almost completed. The official also announced a persona for the main characters, and overall it looks like a poster with a sense of age.
In short, although China may not be able to see this theatrical version for the first time, the content still complements the original "Gundam" world view, or let's wait and see...
