The Gundam YouTube channel has released a new animated short for Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which was made to commemorate the anime’s 30th anniversary. The short is described as a “fighting movie.”
The short initially released two years ago, thirty years after the original anime premiered in 1994. The staff behind the short created it using experimental digital animation techniques, including 3D CG during the previsualization stage to plan out motion sequences.
