GUNBOY PLANNING MEMO
\n<\/strong>Behind the Scenes of Gundam<\/em><\/p>\n

This page contains the planning and setting notes written by Director Tomino himself and was written between the summer and fall of 1978. It appears to have been developed into a formal proposal with the help of various other parties involved in the project. During the proverbial heyday of robot anime, most projects by Nippon Sunrise (now Sunrise) were created through the process of first deciding a gimmick (transforming or combining, etc.) and design of the main robot between toy manufacturer, the main sponsor, as well as the planning office of the company, then building the world and story based on that.<\/p>\n

In the case of Gundam, the project is said to have started with the idea of a scifi version of “Two Years’ Vacation” centering on a spaceship. However, it was determined that a spaceship alone would not be appealing enough, so the decision to introduce robots that could combine was made. Therefore, the planning and setting memo titled “Gunboy Approach” included here was compiled by Director Tomino based around the premise of a spaceship and robot with a combining gimmick, which had already been agreed upon by the sponsors and the planning office. However, it seems evident that with regard to the Gundam project, there was more freedom in constructing the worldview than would typically be the case due to the strong toy sales of the previous program.<\/p>\n

The planning and setting memo was not agreed upon, but are sketches for creating from, so to speak. Therefore, both the setting and the story are quite different from the main production. This is precisely because there are varying differences in the level of expression that can be read from the “aspirations” Director Tomino clearly laid out from this point on about what Gundam is, in essence.<\/p>\n

      Notation: <\/strong>The settings and drafts included in the Record Collection 1 (published by Nippon Sunrise) include the statement “November 14, 1978” as New Project Gunboy and December 1, 1978 as New Project Gunboy Revised Draft. This memo is assumed to have been written by Director Tomino in the preliminary stages of the project. A brief note on story composition: the plan was to compose 52 episodes around 7 stories, running about two hours each. The names of Char, Ramba Ral, and Cucuruz Doan are seen. Is Lala the prototype for Lalah? It’s also noteworthy that the name Haro is indicated on its own.<\/p>\n

      \n

      BASIC STANCE OF DEALING WITH STORIES
      \n<\/strong>1978.10.29<\/em><\/p>\n

      \u3000From a young age, children look up to adolescence.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Youth also have a sense of embarrassment brought about by their immaturity.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Characters’ reactions will be depicted from what we as adults remember as embarrassing memories of the past.<\/p>\n

      \u3000This is a battlefield: an extreme situation. Reactions should be rational and organic, but they’ll culminate as faults, as they’re adolescents.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Children break through this with instinct and intuition.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The irony is that we must not forget that there is part of human decadence born from the apex of civilization, which flows in the undercurrents of society.<\/p>\n

      ARGUMENTS ABOUT PROTECTION OF FREEDOM & SERVITUDE\/FREEDOM & DUTY<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u3000The beginning of the drama, save for the art of war, will likely begin with the recognition that the boys are destroying actions and situations that are accepted and taken for granted in everyday life (eating, bathing, fashion, entertainment, romantic relationships, varying activities to fill the desire to improve, and vice versa, being lazy, etc.). The thought of it, and a longing for a normal life, will continually haunt them.<\/p>\n

      \u3000This turmoil\u2014psychological anxiety\u2014becomes the motif of the drama.<\/p>\n

      \u3000To put it simply, the underlying motif is that if raising children is a cross-sectional view of life, it should be denied during fighting situations.<\/p>\n

      \u3000To put it more explicitly, the underlying motif is that if raising children is to be a cross-section of life, it must be denied during times of war.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Therefore, the desire for peace, is a desire to restore the everyday.<\/p>\n

      \u3000However, in actual wars, the species has persevered even in the most extreme circumstances. Humans have somehow managed to survive, so it could be logical to say that it is acceptable to either simply annihilate the enemy or surrender.<\/p>\n

      \u3000If anything, war should be rejected. There is always the option to surrender.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Here, it is necessary to have the ability to see the nature of the problem of servitude. There are two parts to this. One that is supported by intellect and the part that is instinctively rejected.<\/p>\n

      \u3000But, to put this simply, to be in servitude – to be enslaved, is to be kept by a master, be fed, have sexual intercourse, raise children, offer them up for the master, and die to be under total control.<\/p>\n

      \u3000When something that compels this forced servitude appears, if humans are to advocate for their sovereignty as humans and want to claim a place to be free,<\/p>\n

      \u3000We need to either protect that freedom or acquire it.<\/p>\n

      \u3000It is a total, all-encompassing ethic with no room for ambiguity.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Going to the battlefield, the sense of purpose of battle is probably something like the above.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The acquisition of freedom and the assertion of sovereignty in everyday life can be somewhat clouded and cannot be clearly claimed. Sovereignty is often dismissed as egoism, with the notion that sovereignty is a demand for freedom.<\/p>\n

      \u3000At the same time, this can also be said of the public, social, and political side.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Therefore,<\/p>\n

      \u3000There will be differences in the awareness of the issues during peacetime and the perception during wartime.<\/p>\n

      \u3000No such differences should exist; however, we would like to explore these sensitive issues one by one later on.<\/p>\n

      THE EXISTENCE OF MAN CALLED THE “WARRIOR”<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u3000In civilizations that have acquired freedom, warriors are not needed.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The more warrior-like a person is, the more he or she is situated outside of civilization.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Because they are people of character, with no choice but to use force to enforce their authority, they are unable to achieve balance.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Therefore, they could easily become disqualified from being part of the human race without an enemy, natural or otherwise, against whom they can show strength and fight.<\/p>\n

      \u3000That said, unlike the warriors from ages ago, operating a mecha requires a certain amount of “reason.” Although they have learned the organizational theory of teamwork, it is thought that people who are essentially warriors are the type who put all of their intelligence into exerting their strength.<\/p>\n

      \u3000In them, we have a truly sad type of human being.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Women are fundamentally unable to be warriors because their sexual function is entirely defensive.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The decisive function of a woman is that she can survive even if she yields, and there is a part of her that is willing to die as long as she can leave her own seed behind. This seed, the male seed, and even her will survives and lives on in the woman’s womb.<\/p>\n

      \u3000If this is a function of women, then discrimination between men and women is not derogatory discrimination; rather, it is a necessity for the species.<\/p>\n

      \u3000As such, women can also fight partially supported by training and intelligence, but they are not inherently warriors.<\/p>\n

      \u3000This discrimination must be made clear.<\/p>\n

      \u3000And it is women, not men, who can truly convey the warrior spirit.<\/p>\n

      \u3000At first glance, this would seem to be a form in which women are subordinate to men, but this is not the case. It is the woman who supports (connects) society. She is the pillar of society. Unfortunately, this spiritual understanding of men and women is lacking in the Japanese people of today. It is lacking in young people as well.<\/p>\n

      \u3000If we could understand this, men would be more confident and determined to direct their energy toward the future. Women would not need to put aside their husbands and become “mamagons” (My Note: the dreaded mama-saurus) striving for social and financial wealth.<\/p>\n

      \u3000From all this, the drama concludes with one woman saying: “I wanted to bear your children… Even now, I still feel the same…”<\/p>\n

      \u3000(October 28, 1978)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

      Notation: <\/strong>The above portion was written to explain the fundamentals of the Gundam drama, with \u201cFrom a young age, children look up to adolescence\u201d as well as the portions on \u201cfreedom and duty\u201d being the themes of the Gundam production. Reading through select portions of it again now, you\u2019d be surprised to find that they contain an awareness of issues that would later be commonplace in other Gundam series. The motif of a dying man and woman conveying the spirit of a warrior is carried over directly to the theme song of the movie version \u201cSoldiers of Sorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \n

      CONSIDERATION ON THE INTRODUCTION OF ESPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u3000For a drama leading up to the last message, an esper could be introduced among the regulars.<\/p>\n

      (November 3, 1978)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      LAST MESSAGE (FROM A CONVERSATION WITH CHALLIA BULL)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u3000Humanity is still undeveloped. We cannot live without doing anything. We are not spiritually rich enough to be able to look at and observe the universe and world with an empty mind.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The human race, even now, still requires the game of war.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Knowledge and reason are both born from that chaos. Humanity is currently in a period of training to obtain both knowledge and reason.<\/p>\n

      \u3000We can be said to be precursor humans. However, right now, our spirits are spread thin. Mankind cannot be taught as it has been in the past.<\/p>\n

      \u3000The age of transmission of knowledge by training is over.<\/p>\n

      \u3000Now, mankind must rely on its own strength to elevate itself.<\/p>\n

      \u3000We must grow until the sun’s brilliance engulfs the galaxy. The universe has a new spiritual motif.<\/p>\n

      \u3000There is no more time left. We only have less than 30 billion years to us.<\/p>\n

      \u3000(October 30, 1978)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

      Notation: <\/strong>The notation that suggests the possibility of introducing espers was written five days after the earlier material. As Matilda says to Amuro in episode nine, \u201cYou may be an esper,\u201d the term esper is maintained until a little later, when the concept is eventually elevated to a \u201cNewtype.\u201d The final conversation was written before the notation about espers, but still with an eye towards the further evolution of humanity, or in Gundam-speak, the renaissance of humanity. The last line of \u201cThere is no more time left\u2026\u201d is somewhat reminiscent of Lalah\u2019s \u201cI can see time\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

      \n

      Notation: <\/strong>Below is the detailed historical setting leading up to the outbreak of war. In an interview during the broadcast of the show, Director Tomino said that terms like the “Battle of Loum” were strictly literary and that when the story is over, people would be able to forget that they needn’t know such things. But, the chronology of the Universal Century was later compiled as the official setting to the story, and what was strictly literary ceased to be so. It’s important to note that these document notes use the Western calendar instead of the Universal Century. Although it’s not possible to determine at what stage the concept of “Universal Century” was introduced from this memo alone, it’s clear that it was introduced around the end of 1978, as seen in the setting material and draft used in Record Collection 1.<\/p>\n

      \n

      THE PATH TO WAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

      YEAR 2045<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      When immigrants to the colonies (Sides) accounted for 40% of the total population, the emergence of a new “ism” was recognized. (in other words, when emigration began to take place in the 2030s, there was an outbreak of that “ism.”) The Earth is sacred, the source of life-ism, a holy land-ism. Nations must be run by their Side, Sideism.<\/p>\n

      The embodiment of that “ism” will be:<\/p>\n
