Released in Japan back in June, Mobile Suit Gundam Cucuruz Doan’s Island is a film adaptation of the 15th episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. A trailer can be seen below.
A synopsis for the movie reads:
After a covert mission goes wrong, Mobile Suit pilot Amuro Ray and his comrades are stranded on a remote island. The battalion was sent to a land called the Island of No Return to clear off any enemy forces, only to find a group of children and an enemy mecha attack. Now Amuro must find a way for them all to escape this mysterious land, but not before meeting a strange man—Cucuruz Doan.
