@RippleLover So modern editions of 0079 don't include it either? Tomino didn't like it that much?
Nov 25, 8:16 AM by RobertBobert
@RobertBobert They've only put up the remake movie, not the episode, the episode has never been officially released outside Japan because Sunrise tries to bury it (probably because, again, Tomino doesn't like how it turned out)

@RippleLover But the Gundam YouTube channel broadcast it a year or two ago as part of the free broadcast of old Gundam shows. Or was this already a remake version?
Nov 24, 10:14 AM by RobertBobert
@RobertBobert Yes, the manga is a full on remake, but the anime adapted only the parts from flashbacks because, again, Sunrise doesn't see a point in remaking the actual story of 0079, hence why the only part of it that got remake is Cucuruz Doan's Island (the episode Tomino hated and has never been released outside of Japan, so this was mostly to replace it).

Yeah, it's fun to write. Just in general or specifically to vent, theorize, etc. I write mainly for my own pleasure and to work out my own thoughts on a given subject, and if others read and engage, then great, that's fine and welcome. And if not, that's fine too.

@RippleLover That is, this is a remake at the manga level, but only a flashback prequel at the anime level?
Nov 23, 5:40 PM by RobertBobert
@RobertBobert The Origin, the manga, is a remake of the entire 0079 storyline with a bunch of added material, including a flashback arc. The Origin, the anime, only adapts the flashback chapters from the manga, so they marketed it as a prequel

@Elior21 You cling to words. The fact that the original anime is based on a book does not change the fact that the reboot of the anime is connected with it, and not with the book directly.
@RippleLover But wasn't Origin a prequel and not a remake?

@RobertBobert but the old anime is based on the first book of anne of green gables so wont the first book is the primary source?
Nov 23, 1:21 AM by Elior21
@RobertBobert Considering that The Origin, the manga remake of 0079, didn't do any significant changes to the mecha, no I think it wouldn't. They clearly would rather appeal to nostalgia by using the same classic designs than try experimenting again, Turn A underperformed in part because of its weird designs, so again they'd just sell the kits forever.
Nov 22, 8:41 PM by RippleLover
@RippleLover Do you think that creating a remake of 0079 will require a significant redrawing of mechas and, accordingly, kits?

Then what about an anniversary remake of Gundam 0079 or a new reboot of something from Go Nagai?
Sunrise has said for decades they won't remake 0079 because they ''see no need'' (by which they actually mean they can still sell the model kits like hot cakes despite the show having no new material), and we literally got a Go Nagai remake earlier this year with Grendizer U.

@Elior21 In this case, a specific old anime that is considered a cult show in Japan. How is it possible? Well, if you look at Anne's design in the illustration, you'll see that it's a more modern version of the character design from that old show.
Nov 22, 3:41 AM by RobertBobert
@RobertBobert what the primary source of this? is it the manga or the books that came long ago? also anouther question how is it possible to know if anime is a reboot or if it remake of the old version?
Nov 22, 1:21 AM by Elior21
I'm genuinely surprised; I know the 70s anime is considered to be a masterpiece. Hopefully the new one can live up to it.
Nov 21, 9:08 PM by malvarez1
@Elior21 In this case, the primary source. This is not a reboot, this is a remake of an old anime.
Nov 21, 2:41 PM by RobertBobert
@RobertBobert what exactly the diffrence between remake and new adaption? after all the news saying new adaption
Nov 21, 2:38 PM by Elior21
@Elior21 Well, this is still a remake of the original anime, and not a completely new adaptation. Although anything is better than the latest Western adaptation. Also, you don’t need to write me a PM, I receive a notification about all replies to my posts.
Nov 21, 12:08 PM by RobertBobert
This isn't an anime that I'd like to see getting remade, I'm quite satisfied with the 79 adaptation and watched it many times before. The visuals, pacing, integrity, choices of seiyuu etc. all of them were perfect for me and I doubt that there's any aspects that needs to be improved upon.
