“Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow” (機動戦士ガンダム II／哀・戦士), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1981, Landscape, B3 Size (36 × 51 cm) O674
This is an original Japanese landscape B3 poster issued in Japan for the first theatrical release of Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow (機動戦士ガンダム II／哀・戦士, 1981), the second compilation film drawn from the original Mobile Suit Gundam TV series—one of the foundational works of real-robot anime and modern Japanese pop culture. A landmark title for collectors, Gundam II escalates the One Year War’s tragedy and scale, with the “Ai Senshi” theme itself becoming one of the most iconic songs in the franchise’s history.
Poster design
A spectacular, classic early-1980s Gundam theatrical illustration with enormous display impact in horizontal format. The composition features a dramatic line-up of mobile suits emerging from the sea under a star-filled sky, with the towering RX-78 Gundam looming as a ghostly blue presence in the background. The foreground is dominated by red Zeon machines rising from the water—an unforgettable image of war-machines as mythic sea monsters—balanced by cooler-toned units at the edges. The bold title block 「機動戦士ガンダム II 哀・戦士」 anchors the left, while the upper right includes suit call-outs (including RX-78 Gundam and multiple Zeon types), making this a true “collector’s art” campaign piece rather than a generic promotional print. Extremely frame-friendly and one of the most powerful designs of the early Gundam movie era.
