The “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN: Rise of the Red Comet” Advanced Screening!

An advance screening for authorized officials of Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN: Rise of the Red Comet, which will begin screening at 35 theaters nationwide from May 5^th (Sat), was held at a certain place in the metropolitan area.

“Rise of the Red Comet” is the 6^th and final episode of the Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN anime series. Following episode 5, “Clash at Loum”, this episode depicts the Battle of Loum that marks the start of the One Year War, a war of independence declared by the Principality of Zeon against the Earth Federation.

The attention on the episode was extremely high, causing the event to become a huge success as it was crowded by many authorized officials and groups of reporters from all sides of the venue. Similar to previous events, our editorial department accessed the screening to cover the event. Let’s go into a report on the excitement-filled advance screening that had high expectations for the last episode with photos.

We also received comments from a portion of the officials in the venue lobby as it lingered with excitement following the screening. We will also include all their comments here. We hope that this raises your expectations even further for the screening come May 5^th (Sat).

It’s profound to think that from here on out is the start of the One Year War.
