American Zeta Gundam Release Missing Original Theme Songs

Now that the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam DVD boxed set is reaching the hands of consumers it’s come to light that the American release of the series has replaced the show’s original vocal opening and ending theme songs with instrumental pieces taken from within the show. According to Bandai Entertainment, “The opening was not changed intentionally, but instead because there were licensing issues when being brought over from Japan. It was a compromise that had to be made in order to release the series here in the states.” Numerous fans have been outraged primarily by the fact that Bandai Entertainment did not reveal the significant change to the series until after it was already reaching customers.
