I wish they release all UC on BD. Zeta looks amazing on BD for a show that came out 30 years ago.

The 2011 Bandai DVD release using the lickably grainy 2007 remastered R2J DVDs is excellent enough for me, considering the DNR done to the BD version. I hope TRSI's release uses that for the DVD version instead of a BD downscale.
The others, however, I got my eye on. BDs if possible for the rest, please! |

BDs for those OVAs and films anyway, 0080 and 0083 still need them.

That sort of reminds me of Bandai's 0083 release, which just looked gorgeous, even though it's DVD. I don't know if it was a remaster or not, but I wish 08th had that kind of quality, as it paled in comparison—by a few miles. Hopefully, all of these releases get good quality prints to work with, because I'm sure many fans know how these things can turn out, by now… |

I hope they make them region-free and I hope all remaining sub-only series finally get English dubs. Especially X.
Edit- I hope they bring all the Gundam series on blu-ray, I don't see Wing, SEED, 00, AGE or any of the Universal Century side stories listed. |

Looks like I'm going to be buying a lot of Gundam, especially X. Guess I'll hold off on Turn A seeing as how it'll likely get a BD release down the road.
It's interesting that only the previously unreleased series were announced. I wonder if Wing, G, 0080, 0083 etc are still tied up? Speaking of Sunrise and BDs, still waiting on Outlaw Star and Escaflowne from Funi... |

Well damn. I might as well fork over all my money to Right Stuf, they have pretty much every Gundam title I want. GG.
Just extra deets on Reconguista's release and maybe 0083 later down the line and I'll be set! I nabbed a new copy of the complete 0080 set at for $30 in May and I was all giddy about it. Last edited by Angel'sArcanum on Sat Jul 04, 2015 12:28 am; edited 1 time in total |

Yeah, I already bought the Turn A dvds but I'm interested in knowing if this means they'll start releasing the series on BD following their Japanese releases since stuff like 00, Seed, Wing, 08th MS, etc have already gotten them in Japan. I'd double-dip on most of them.
Same here, I really want this one to get one since I loved X. I've wanted to own Gundam X for a long time so I'll have to buy it either way like I bought Turn A, but I hope they start dubbing these as they get to the newer ones and at the very least as they get to the really newer ones (even if AGE and G-Reco have their problems) and so that any Gundam series in the future will get a dub. I think X being made just after Wing would be a decent time to start being able to dub, but since they didn't do one of Turn A I guess it's sadly probably still too old. I'll also be interested in getting ZZ, V that we've never gotten releases of before.
This. I'd buy them/double-dip. Hopefully by the time they reach stuff as new as AGE and Reconguista they'd atleast start dubbing too. I totally need the two seasons of 00 on blu-ray, that show was gorgeous. |

Right Stuf I love you.
Will be buying and pre-ordering all these releases. I already got the Turn A DVDs in. Part 1 and Part 2 shipped very early. Both of them are excellent, well packaged, and nice quality. Must be selling pretty good too for the movies to get picked up. Amazing day to be a Gundam fan. 
I also will be double dipping on the original First Gundam series. I have the original Bandai single DVD releases with only the English dub. Never got around to buying the re-release Bandai did with the included sub track, and I was never going to pay those scalped prices on the bay. Glad I get to upgrade to Blu Ray and get the sub track as well. |

And I haven't even finished rewatching Zeta Gundam on the Bandai DVD sets. I know it'll never happen for a non-Asian release, but I do so wish the original theme songs could be used on the re-release.

Well, maybe I'll finally be able to bring myself to watch the original Gundam now, but I suspect that I'll end up buying it and then never actually watch much of it. I'd really like to - I've like many of the non-UC series released in the US - but the original Gundam just looks so bad. It's perfectly understandable that it does, given when it came out, but that doesn't make it look good. Regardless though, it's good to see that these series are getting a release in the US (be it a first release or a re-release) - and on Blu-ray no less.

Wow this Sunrise/RightStuf partnership is turning out quite swimmingly for us North Americans. First they blow us away by offering the Bandai Visual collector sets for ORIGIN and now First Gundam BD boxes. I really hope they put together some packages as nice looking as the Japanese box. Excited to preorder First Gundam and ORIGIN II.

That's a big thing. If one doesn't know how to read Japanese, even at the basic level, just having a line - like "exit way" - on the top of the screen with no indication to which of the on-screen texts it translates can confuse those viewers. |

Gundam.
Yes, more please. This anime is larger than life, and has a massive fanbase ranging from UC diehards to AU casuals, BF for the shonens, and remasters for anything in between. There's always room for more gundam. This definitely looks like AU, but at least it's not a "new mecha anime" from Sunrise that's a blatant rip-off of Gundam but just called something else (I'm talking about you, Valvrave and Buddy Complex.) |
