This is excellent news for two reasons. Not only does it permit younger fans to become acquainted with perhaps the most poignant scene from any UC Gundam title, but it also awards the accompanying jokes about spoiler[raw hamburgers] all of their former currency.

If we're talking about Gundam 0080 poignant scenes, my vote is for the last scene. Heartbreaking and chilling.

This one happens to be one of my favorite Gundam series ever. I remember staying up late to watch this on Adult Swim back in intermediate school.

No Blu-ray in Japan yet, just like Gundam X. Thankfully G is coming out now (and the first set looks awesome) so hopefully one of those two is next.

Best UC Gundam. It actually has realism, it's well scripted and it looks amazing. The dub is also very, very good, both vocally and script wise. I prefer Daisuke Namikawa's take on Al, but Brianne Siddall's take is solid as well, not to mention David Hayter as Bernie and Wendee Lee as Chris.

As far as just pure writing, just pure plotting, character development, and emotional depth, it's hard (if not impossible) to beat Gundam 0080 in the Gundam franchise, or just mecha anime in general. I already own the DVDs from Bandai Entertainment, though, so I'm going to wait for a Blu-Ray release.

I really hope Right Stuf fixes the missing audio issues in episode 3 of the dub.

This is excellent news. We definitely need this. A friend considered this his favorite Gundam. As I've heard it being one of the best chapters in the franchise.

Cool. This is my favourite Gundam OVA. Short but, so good.

I own the Bandai dvds. I guess there is no reason to double-dip unless there is a audio/visual improvement over the previous release. Can't wait for right stuff to release G Gundam and 0083 on bluray. I shelled out a bit of money for the Gundam thunderbolt bluray and it's one of the best looking transfers I've seen. I'll be interested to see how the older remastered shows hold up.

I don't often cry over anime, but I'll admit to shedding more than a few tears at this series ending. That entire last episode is probably one of the best episodes of Gundam ever made.

I have them too. But for older anime (pre-2000), if I already have the DVD I generally don't bother getting the Blu-Ray; I usually don't see much difference in picture quality, and frankly I'd rather spend my money on something I don't already have. (Like Gundam ZZ, V-Gundam, or G-Gundam).

Wish it was bluray but I'll still all about this! Never seen this series and hear that it's one of the brightest moments in all of Gundam.
