Anime Limited Releasing First Four Gundam Origin Films on Blu-ray
posted on by Andrew Osmond
Anime Limited has announced that it will release a Blu-ray box-set on May 28 containing the first four Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin films. A prequel to the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series, the series tells the story of the young Char Aznable and his sister Sayla.
The set will contain the four films across two Blu-ray discs. The individual films are Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin III: Blue-Eyed Casval; Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin II: Artesia's Sorrow; Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin III: Dawn of Rebellion; and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin IV: Fateful Eve.
The set is limited to a thousand copies and will have a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of £49.99. It will come with four art cards and a limited edition art box.
Anime Limited cannot confirm if it will release later Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin films in the same way, but it says it has further Gundam releases in the works.
The set is not exclusive to any one retailer, but pre-orders at the AllTheAnime.com site will launch in early May. Anime Limited comments, "There might even be a special offer to coincide with this too."
