With Gundam Musou 3 near release in Japan, 4Gamer has some cool new screenshots of the game’s Partner Strike system as well mobile suit customisation. Though we’re mostly nerding out on the shots for the RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam Full Vernian “Zephyranthes” from Gundam 0083 (pictured above). Despite being one of our favourite Shoji Kawamori designs it’s also been somewhat in the news as of late, mostly due to Linkin Park’s fascination with the mobile suit. Unsurprisingly, the game’s site has also reciprocated this current interest with showing a new special video of the mobile suit. Naturally, as this is Gundam 0083 we’ve included the series’ two very lovely opening animations (in HD no less) below. That said, we still think that Back to Paradise would have been a better intro song.

But Back to Paradise IS the intro song :P. Its just the Japanese version.
It was used in the anime, for the Powered GM introduction, but the Japanese intros were the Winner and Men of Destiny respectively. ANN and the Japanese Wikipedia page seem to corroborate this further.
It’s been a while since I’ve watched my Japanese DVD’s of the show though – so I’ll check at home tonight. There’s a decent chance I’m going senile!
…turns out I’m not going senile just yet!
The Japanese DVD doesn’t actually have an opening animation on the first episode – instead it sets up the narrative for Gato and Delaz at the end of the One Year War.
Back to Paradise is subsequently played as an accompaniment to the Feddie pilots in Zaku II’s getting owned by a Powered GM in a training exercise.
