Gundam: 1979, Amuro and the vision of Yoshiyuki Tomino
Machine translation; original text in Italian.
Work created by Yoshiyuki Tomino e Hajime Yatate (soggetto originale)
The origins
Mobile Suit Gundam debuts on television on April 7, 1979. Amuro Ray finds himself in the war and driving the Gundam, as refugees flee to White Base. Gundam was therefore born as an anime: the manga and other adaptations require separate credits.
Before choosing a model, a story
Gundam is a good example of how useful it is to distinguish the narrative world from the single object. Looking at the mechanical vehicle also means asking yourself who drives it and in what context. The car may seem to be the center of the image, but the choices of the characters change its meaning.
Find your way around the catalogue
Start with the full series and model name. Don't assume that two kits with a similar name have the same assembly or contents: check the manufacturer's declared part number, scale and components. The pleasure of choice can begin precisely from this research, connecting the story to the space and time you want to dedicate to the object.
