The broadcast keeps the 2005 New Translation trilogy circulating on Japanese television two decades after its theatrical run, putting Yoshiyuki Tomino's reworked Zeta Gundam in front of a general audience rather than the disc market alone.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
BS12 TwellV airs "Mobile Suit Z Gundam: A New Translation II Lovers" on its Sunday Anime Theater slot on September 13 from 7 PM. The 2005 theatrical film is the second entry in the New Translation "Z" trilogy. It follows Kamille Bidan's encounter on Earth with Four Murasame, an enhanced human of the Titans, before he returns to space and the Z Gundam.
The film is the middle chapter of the trilogy that reworked the 1985 television series "Mobile Suit Z Gundam" for theaters, with Yoshiyuki Tomino credited as original creator, screenwriter, storyboard artist and general director. The story sits in Universal Century 0087, during the civil war between the Titans and the AEUG. Kamille Bidan stays on Earth after joining the AEUG and meets Four Murasame; she is an enhanced human on the Titans side. The film moves from that meeting to his return to space and the debut of the Z Gundam, alongside the AEUG's loss of leader Blex and the rise of Paptimus Scirocco.
