Iconic debut of first Gundam mobile suit recreated by Origin animators

The Gundam.info website began streaming the Gundam Rising ~Gundam the Origin Target U.C.0079 promotional video on Friday. The "short directional movie" first ran after the second volume of the Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin anime in theaters last month.

The video recreates the first Mobile Suit Gundam story's iconic scene of the RX-78-2 Gundam mobile suit rising for the first time. The animation team from Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin created this video as test footage of The Origin's version of the RX-78-2 Gundam. It is the first anime depiction of The Origin's version.
