So, I was listening to the latest episode of Gundamn@mahq recently and came across some interesting, if depressing news.
Apparently preorder numbers for the new English version of Gundam the Origin have barely passed 4000 units.
In other words, without support, the future of this new, re-translated, deluxe edition is in jeopardy before volume 1 has even been released.
It's one of only a handful of mecha manga that actually does mecha right imo (Macross the First being another one), so if you have even a passing interest in Gundam or mecha, volumes 1 and 2 are only $18 each for preorder over at Amazon. Even though I have the Japanese versions, I know Ill be picking these up if only to support it.
Volume 1 preorder.
Volume 2 preorder.
