The Gundam Saga Continues: Soldiers of Sorrow

A New Chapter in the Epic Struggle

The war between the Federation and Zeon rages on, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. In this second installment of the Mobile Suit Gundam trilogy, Soldiers of Sorrow, the stakes are higher than ever.

A Hero’s Journey

Gundam pilot Amuro Ray is forced to confront the harsh realities of war when he clashes with Zeon ace pilot Ramba Ral and his formidable mobile suit, Gouf. As friends and comrades fall around him, Amuro must find the strength to overcome his grief and continue the fight.

A Soundtrack of Heroism

The film’s score features iconic tracks like “Kaze ni Hitori de” and “Ai Senshi”, which have become synonymous with the Gundam franchise. The music perfectly captures the emotional highs and lows of the story, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

Behind the Scenes

Director Yoshiyuki Tomino and animation studio Sunrise worked tirelessly to bring this epic story to life. While the film is largely composed of footage from the original TV series, Tomino made significant changes to ensure that the movie stayed true to his vision of a more realistic, “real robot” series. The result is a gripping and intense film that explores the human cost of war.

A New Era of Animation

The special edition release of Soldiers of Sorrow features digitally remastered video and audio, with many of the original voice cast members re-recording their lines. The soundtrack has also been rearranged, with some scenes featuring new music. These changes were supervised by Tomino himself, ensuring that the film remains faithful to his original vision.
