I showed my sister, a yaoi fanatic, Gundam: The Origin, and she dropped it once she realized Char was just going to “kick and kill” instead of “fucking and sucking” his way to the top. “If he’s not called the Red Comet because he runs around buck-naked after taking it raw in the ass, I’m not interested.”
this video is the only worthwhile thing to come from the origin
when they get to it you should watch episode 3, which is char doing toxic schoolboy yaoi with garma for an hour (in addition to revealing that yas thinks the way he killed garma was char’s super move). it’s very fun, the rest of it is pretty whatever
say what you will about yas, but the man can draw a comic!

This was the fun part of the prequel and sequel stuff in the comic, too. The rest of the stuff Yas added was forgettable or him demonstrating that he has no idea who Kai actually is.

Yeah, the watercolor art in the comic is gorgeous. Plus, he did the “make the robot look like it’s crying” thing that I’m always a sucker for.
yeah why did he make kai a greaser punk? kai is just kind of a loser who isn’t immediately willing to throw himself into battle but grows up when he has no other choice. he wasn’t leading a gang and forcing amuro to help him break into military bases
I’m pretty sure when he designed the character he had the punk Kai in mind (talks like a delinquent, longish hair for a schoolboy), but didn’t absorb the more interesting one we got on the screen (slacker-type, really a coward that only talks tough but grows beyond that). He was doing the comic in the 2000s, though!! How could he not see the character we got in the show after 20+ years?

I watched like 5 minutes of the first ep of the OVA and was like “nah, I’ll just wait until I can listen to Em and Jackson rant about these.”
The comic is decent, but mostly because 75% of it is just Mobile Suit Gundam.
