Guessing they're wanting to get every other project finished before moving onto adapting the Origin into a anime. Eh, at least Unicorn will be wrapping up next year.

Well I can at least read Vertical's beautiful release of the origin manga while I wait for the anime.

Hopefully Origin's anime makes it here like Unicorn did.

The Zaku-brand jeans I bought at Fuji-Q Highland in 2008 still won't fit...
On-topic:
How much of a departure is Origin from First Gundam?
From what I've been told it's grittier, but other than that?
Anyway, something to look forward to next year +.

I'm spoiler tagging just for those people who don't want to know.
Oh, and I confess that this is taken straight from Wikipedia, since I'm lazy and don't want to type out a summary myself. Any inaccuracies in this are not my fault.
Although for the most part faithful to the original series' plot (all of the major events unfold in mostly the same manner as the TV series, though often in different locales), Yasuhiko has taken the liberty of changing certain elements in the series universe, giving a different character to the series and the struggle that unfolds. Primary among these is the presence of mobile suits in both militaries well before the conflict begins—in fact, in the flashback sequences, both the Federation and Zeon militaries use Guntanks in 0068, and they and the Guncannon mobile suit are described as "obsolete" and fit for target practice in the first volume (in the TV series proper, both units were as new as the Gundam itself, designed to serve as long and mid-range fire support units).
Other differences concern the breadth of the Gundam's journey to Jaburo. Where it's implied that the White Base's journey to Jaburo in the series was pretty much a circumnavigation of the globe unconnected to many real-world locations, Yasuhiko's journey places the White Base's landfall near Los Angeles, the headquarters of Garma Zabi (in the series, Garma was based out of a generic "New Yark"—Origin in fact states the Zeon occupation HQ as Los Angeles City Hall, with Garma residing in Hollywood/Beverly Hills) and moves the craft steadily to the southeast, and down the South American coast—past Caracas, Venezuela and through Macchu Picchu and into Brazil, where Jaburo is located. This retelling cuts out some of the more trivial encounters seen in the original series, while keeping and expanding on important characters like Garma, Ramba Ral, and the Black Tri-Stars. As a direct result the events of Operation Odessa which takes place around the Ukrainian city of the same name, occur after the events of Jaburo, as opposed to the anime where they occur before.
Yasuhiko further finally tells the entire back story of the Gundam universe in the manga. After the successful defense of Jaburo, the story diverts into a very in-depth flashback, told primarily from the viewpoints of Sayla and Char (with a secondary thread being told from Amuro's POV) recounting the downfall of Zeon Zum Deikun, the rise of the Zabi family, the construction of Side 7 and the research into Mobile Suits, and leading up through a decade until the launching of the One Year War. It also goes into detail answering many previously unanswered questions such the appearance of heretofore unseen Zeon mobile suits prior to the MS-05 Zaku I, how Dozle Zabi received his trademark scars and even the origin of Casval Deikun/Edward Mass' "Char Aznable" identity. The canon status of these revelations is still a matter of debate. Volume fourteen, deals with the Battle of Loum at the beginning of the One Year War, and is the last piece of the in-depth flashback.
The story has since shifted back on track to the original anime's storyline, featuring the White Base's involvement in the Federation's Operation Odessa. As well as including Kai Shiden's encounter with Miharu. The most recent tankoubon serialization deals with the end of the Odessa campaign and (in another departure from the series) takes Ma Quve and his Gyan out of the picture before he has a chance to confront the Gundam.

Totally stoked for Gundam: The Origin anime! The manga Vertical is publishing is fantastic. Really looking forward to seeing what they do with an anime adaptation.

I'm more interested in what Crazy Uncle Tomino is up to now than a 0079 retread (though I'd still watch The Origin).

I guess some people will now give UC a try since its being reanimated entirely. I'm more interested in Tominos new work though because in a way I've already seen Origin.
AGE was actually quite good by the way.

Other than having a date for UC 7, the announcement that there will an announcement in The Origin within the next 30 months is bullshit. If Bandai/Sunrise does not have a clear idea of when and how they plan to adapt The Origin iinto anime, why open their mouths now?
These announcements for future announcements piss me off.

Yeah, it is a bit of a let down knowing that yeah, we are working on it but it is down the line and other the sketches and half promises we don't have anything other then building hype.

I feel like I just read about a press conference appearance by Square.
"Please be excited."
