Gundam: The Origin the Anime

The August issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Gundam Ace magazine is announcing on Saturday that an anime project of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is launching. The manga is itself a re-imagining of Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise's first Mobile Suit Gundam anime project by the anime's character designer. Yasuhiko is ending the manga in the same August issue of Gundam Ace. Finally, Noboru Sogetsu will be the voice of Amuro Ray(Sorry, Noboru Sougetsu is Tohru Furuya's pseudonym).

「新しいスタンダード」になることでしょう。

この巨きな仕事を担ってくださる方々に感謝し
期待を込めてエールを送ります。
Yasuhiko -
By way of adapting it into anime, I hope the "very first Gundam" I proposed will become "the new standard".
This should be something that henceforth be long loved by many people including the coming generations.
I would like to express my thanks to everybody who is shouldering this huge task.
I send out my support call filled with anticipations.

○内田社長
漫画という第一走者からアニメという第二走者が預かるバトンの大切さを
自覚し、その重責を担う覚悟を持って始動します。
We are aware of the importance of the passing of the baton from manga, the first runner, to anime, the second runner. It is with this big responsibility in mind that we are starting this project.
