Film background

Created under Yoshiyuki Tomino, Mobile Suit Gundam follows young pilot Amuro Ray as he becomes caught in the war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. His encounters with rival pilot Char Aznable anchor a story of divided loyalties, loss and the human consequences of warfare. Following the original television series, the story was adapted into a theatrical trilogy released in 1981–1982, the period represented by this calendar.

Poster design

Against a star-filled background, Char stands at the upper left while Amuro’s profile and Sayla Mass occupy the centre. The Gundam dominates the right side, surrounded by spacecraft and mobile suits, with breaking waves sweeping across the foreground. Additional character illustrations frame the calendar beneath.

The printed credits name Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (安彦良和) for animation direction and character design, and Kunio Okawara (大河原邦男) for mechanical design—two creators fundamental to Gundam’s distinctive visual identity.

The publicity line beneath the title announces the characters’ return.

「アムロが…シャアが…いま帰って来た！あの感動と衝撃が再びキミの前で甦える」
“Amuro… Char… have returned! That emotion and impact come alive before you once again.”
