Yeah I can also agree with both groups on this as this has a lot of potential, if done well this could be really cool having a slightly improved/fleshed out version of the original storyline animated in modern style, tech and production values like their latest Gundam TV and OVA series 00 and Unicorn depending on length and not just a mini-re-animate here and there just to match the 80s animation. Still I can also understand being mixed in opinion in that I would have been equally or more happy seeing something new or another new AU with a more age-appropriate artistic style since it's Age's art style and not it's story that's messing with my interest in it. Most importantly as said in the previous post I'm most curious what this is going to be or what kind of scale of project this actually is, is it going to be a short anime project or full one that gets to tell the whole story. It'd be quite interesting to see Unicorn's excellent merging of the old style character designs with modern adjustments even on an obviously somewhat smaller budget if this were a longer project, given that that really did make the old classic style work in a very modern way that did a great job I think pleasing both fans of the original designs and those that started out with non-80's Gundam. |

err....I don't really think that there is, strictly speaking, an offical gundam canon. For instance I remember that some people wondered whether or not the Zeta Gundam movies made ZZ gundam non canon since the end of the Zeta gundam trilogy was significantly different from the Zeta TV series. However i think the offical response to the question was somewhere along the lines of "The canon is whatever you want it to be." However, with regards to the original MSG TV series and trilogy, while there were some differences between the two, there were never any major differences (IMO) because the end result was still pretty much the same. My point is that if you end up liking MSG Origin then it's canon and if you don't then you can consider it an alternate universe or non canon. Anyway, with regards to the announcement, this has me very excited, and I cannot wait to see how this turns out. However, I will admit that my first choice for a remake would be the Char's Counterattrack movie, or to be more precise an adaptation of its novelization (Beltorchika's Children) with some slight changes to bring it into continuity with the MSG and Zeta TV series. |

Are there any real differences between the the original MSG TV series and the Origin manga? Also, who wants to bet Sayla doesn't have a roll in this because her original voice actress is still dead?

Gundam canon is basically whatever Sunrise says it is. Technically both the movie and TV version of First Gundam are canon, (generally on the more technical side of things, things like MSV are considered canon enough. The storylines of each are treated almost interchangeably.)
Origin, at least what little I was able to read didn't seem too radically different from the TV series, we got to see Test Type Gundam, and more of Char's backstory, but that was about it. I do hear good things though, so consider me interested. |

Awesome, I just hope it's all new animation and don't cut in 1979 animation (why did they do that in the Z movies?).
All I ask is. - No bouncy chests...this is war - Down play the kids - Be awesome[/list] |

I hope that these and the ones who retired will be changed. But for the love of god i hope that they don't pull a Saint Seiya stunt and re-cast the main characters like Amuro Rei (Tohru Furaya) and Char Aznable (Shuuchi Ikeda). I personally don't think that will happen because if i borrow my Japanese friend's statement: Tohru Furaya, and Shuuchi Ikeda are Amuro and Char. Some might prefer to re-cast all characters but i would see it plain stupid and one way for the series to fail regardless of the amount of work put in it. |

Well, to be honest, I don't mind some cast replacements. The original cast isn't getting any younger. Tohru Furuya might have an ageless voice, but I can't imagine Toshio Furukawa's Kai Shiden being quite as sharp as originally. Banjo Ginga (Giren Zabi) is 62.

I agree with some cast changes. Actually i don't mind if they change all of them except for Ikeda and Furuya. But i think that a good part of the original cast can still reprise their roles the same way they have been doing over the years in Gundam and Super Robot Taisen games. |
