Where it came from
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is a manga series that reimagines the narrative of the original 1979 anime. Written and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, who served as the character designer and animation director for the original series, the manga was serialized in Gundam Ace starting in 2001. Its creation was intended to provide a more detailed and refined perspective on the One Year War, drawing on Yasuhiko’s deep familiarity with the franchise’s visual language.
The series is celebrated for its intricate character development and expanded political subplots, which fill in gaps left by the original production. Yasuhiko’s artwork remains faithful to the iconic aesthetic of the 1970s anime while incorporating sophisticated panel layouts and a cinematic sense of movement. Upon release, it was met with high critical acclaim, eventually leading to a complete re-telling of the foundational Gundam lore that has become a definitive version for modern readers.
