Last year, Sunrise combined classic giant robots with modern animation techniques in the Sunrise Robot Laboratory . In addition to offering a wealth of information about their mecha anime library, the initiative also brings new life to these classic units via "experimental videos." In May, Combat Mecha Xabungle will be the second series to get a visual upgrade. Combat Mecha Xabungle , which premiered in 1982, was directed by Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. The series followed the young civilian Jiron Amos and his friends as they seek revenge on his parents' murderers. Stealing the show's title robot is just one part of their plan and the beginning of their troubles. The series was released in Japan as Blue Gale Xabungle . Check out a sample of BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE L , showcasing both classic animation from the series and the new animation in progress: BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE L Trailer RELATED: Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Shares New Key Visual This new release will follow two similar videos from last year featuring another of Tomino's classic works, 1983's Aura Battler Dunbine .
