Right Stuf announced on Wednesday that it will release the Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket OVA series on DVD on January 3. The release will include the original Japanese audio as well as the English dub in both 5.1 and stereo audio. The release will also contain textless opening and ending sequences, a collection of the Japanese trailers, music videos, and the "All That Gundam" video.
Right Stuf announced in this year's Anime Expo in July that it will release the anime in late 2016, although the company later delayed the release to early 2017.
Right Stuf describes the anime:
Universal Century 0079. When the Principality of Zeon learns of a new Gundam being built, the veteran spec-ops Cyclops Team is dispatched to the civilian colony of Libot to investigate. Their newest member, Bernard “Bernie” Wiseman, gets shot down in action and meets young Alfred “Al” Izuruha, who dreams of mobile suits and space battles. Al thinks of Bernie as a friend, and even goes to great lengths to track him down while on his mission. He doesn't realize the potential danger he's in. And Al's nextdoor neighbor Christina “Chris” Mackenzie returns home with a new “government job.” She's really the test pilot of the top-secret Gundam Alex – the objective of Bernie's mission! As the story unfolds, three lives will be changed forever by this one small part of the war.
The OVA debuted in Japan in 1989 to commemorate the franchise's 10th anniversary. Bandai Entertainment previously released the six-episode OVA in North America.
