That settles it. It’s going to be some sort of adaptation of The Origin.

That concept art looks pretty cool to be honest, it looks exactly as the RX-2 79 from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, which makes me wonder if this is going to be a direct adaptation of the first Gundam. I was expecting an original story, perhaps an amalgamation of previous shows like Wing, SEED and 0079.

Why is the hangar on fire?! Why is it launching from a sinking ship?! Fire is not the answer to making things look cool! Stop it!

My guess it's rising up from the base on side 7 from the first episode of the original series

From a past interview with the director the story will be a amalgamation of all the Gundam properties.

Concept art doesn't always represent what the final product will look like they usually just represent the tone they're going for.

This is definitely gonna suck,, but I'm optimistic that we'll at least get some good big stumpy robot fights out of it. F91, for example, was a pretty bad movie story-wise, but it had (and has) some of the best-directed action sequences in the franchise.

It looks more like the final battle at A Baoa Qu, in the concept art the Gundam looks very damaged, especially its arm, kinda like the RX-78 in the last episode were it lost its arm and head

I was wondering if the Gundam would be based around or outright be the RX-78. Really curious to see what they do here.

it actually looks like a blatant homage to the ending of the Gundam SEED first episode.

Well,this looks interesting. I might want to see this version of "Gundam" one of these days. This looks like it might be good.

I just finished the original Gundam last summer, and watched a few others as well, and I gotta say, this isn't what I think about when I think about Gundam. If you want to show Gundam, have NO fire, have a beam sword(with the gundam obviously), show the main character, and either the main villain themself or their Gundam.
I really hope this won't take place on Earth. I'm getting the vibe that these guys might come up with some crazy idea that fighting in space or on a Side would be too extreme for the wider audience...

I love how people are already labeling this project as "sucking" when they clearly do not understand what concept art is.
