Batman Ninja director Junpei Mizusaki helms video by Bandai Namco Filmworks, Kamikaze Douga




On Wednesday, Bandai Namco Filmworks (previously known as Sunrise) started broadcasting "BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE L," an experimental video by Sunrise Robot Laboratory on their platform. This video is based on Yoshiyuki Tomino's 1982 anime series Blue Gale . It features both old footage and new footage that recreates but doesn't exactly match the anime's opening title sequence and various episodes, specifically from episodes 12 and 43.

Bandai Namco Filmworks and Kamikaze Douga worked together on creating the video. Junpei Mizusaki directed, served as technical director, and was also the creative producer for this project. Banjō Ginga, who previously narrated Blue Gale anime, returned to provide new narration for this collaboration.

The Sunrise YouTube channel is now streaming episodes 12, 26, and 41 of Blue Gale .

The initial experimental video created by Sunrise Robot Laboratory was titled "AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE L." It was launched in May 2024 on streaming platforms. This video featured new footage that aimed to capture the essence of Aura Battler Dunbine's opening and closing scenes without being an exact replica.

The website's second video " AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE R" started streaming in November 2024.

HIDIVE started streaming Xabungle anime in 2017 and describes the story:

On the planet Zora, there are two societies: the Innocent and the Civilians. Jiron Amos seeks revenge against the outlaw who killed his parents, but in a world where CIVILIAN crimes are forgiven if they're not brought to justice within three days, there's little he can do. Taking his revenge into his own hands, Jiron steals the mecha Xabungle and teams up with a group of bandits, the Sandrats. As his quest continues, Jiron's actions sow the seeds of rebellion against the Innocent.

As head of the show, Tomino directed Xabungle Graffiti, which was released in Japan from 1982-1983. Additionally, this anime inspired an animated film called Xabungle Graffiti in 1983.
