MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE ORIGIN MSD Cucuruz Doan's Island 1

I think this is such a WEIRD choice of manga to exist and also be translated/officially released in English. People have been clamoring for other Gundam manga like Crossbone and Moon to be officially released in English for so many years and . . . this is one of the ones that was picked?! A manga adaptation of a “lost” episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam that was recently animated as a full length movie in the style of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's: MSG: The Origin?! Truly a wild choice.

Anyway . . . it assumes that you have seen the OG MSG and/or the Cucuruz Doan's Island movie to understand WTF is going on. They pretty much jump you into the One Year War with very little explanation of what is happening. The best part is the Yoshikazu Yasuhiko inspired art and most much needed respect for Zeon's Gogg.

[I'm realizing that anyone who reads my regular reviews is going to be like, “WTF are you talking about Anna?!” and you know what? Get on that Mobile Suit Gundam bandwagon, my friends....]
