Xabungle Anime Launches Fall Video with IDOLM@STER Track

BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE R: A New Chapter in Anime History
Bandai Namco Filmworks has announced an exciting development for anime enthusiasts: "BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE R," an innovative "experimental video" by Sunrise Robot Laboratory. This fresh take on the beloved 1982 anime, Blue Gale Xabungle, promises to breathe new life into Yoshiyuki Tomino's original work. The project, set for a fall release, also features a special contribution from the idol unit Hōkago Climax Girls from The IDOLM@STER Shiny Colors game, introducing a new song that will reinterpret the anime in an intriguing way.

The Legacy Continues with "BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE L"
The project builds upon the momentum of "BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE L," which debuted on May 14. It skillfully blended old and new footage to evoke the nostalgia of the original anime, especially from its 12th and 43rd episodes. This blend offers fans a taste of both the traditional and the innovative, with sequences reminiscent of the anime's classic opening title.
The Team Behind the Magic
Bandai Namco Filmworks partnered with Kamikaze Douga to bring this project to life. Renowned creative mastermind Junpei Mizusaki, known for works like Batman Ninja, served as the director, technical director, and creative producer. Banjō Ginga, the iconic narrator of the original Blue Gale Xabungle anime, reprises his role, adding continuity and authenticity to the project.
Exploring New Horizons with Experimental Videos
In recent endeavors, Sunrise Robot Laboratory has embraced the format of "experimental videos." Before delving into the world of Xabungle, they released "AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE L" in May 2024. This video, rich in both new and nostalgic content, aimed to stir memories without recreating the Aura Battler Dunbine's opening and ending sequences. Its sequel, "AURA BATTLER DUNBINE SIDE R," launched in November 2024, further developed this concept.
Dive into the World of Xabungle on HIDIVE
For fans eager to relive the adventures of Xabungle, HIDIVE began streaming the anime in 2017. The story unfolds on the planet Zora, governed by two societies: the Innocent and the Civilians. The protagonist, Jiron Amos, embarked on a mission of revenge against the outlaw responsible for his parents' deaths. In a world where civilian crimes go unpunished if unresolved within three days, Jiron's quest for justice drives him to commandeer the formidable mecha, Xabungle, aligning himself with the Sandrats, a group of resourceful bandits. His journey sows seeds of rebellion against the pervasive Innocent.
A Historical Snapshot of Xabungle
Directed by the legendary Yoshiyuki Tomino, the original Blue Gale Xabungle series aired from 1982 to 1983 and quickly became a fan favorite. Its resounding success led to the creation of an anime film, Xabungle Graffiti, in 1983, allowing the series' captivating world to reach even more audiences.
Final Thoughts
"BLUE GALE XABUNGLE SIDE R" is more than a revival; it's a reinterpretation that blends nostalgia and innovation. By partnering with esteemed creators and contributors like Hōkago Climax Girls, Bandai Namco Filmworks ensures that this project will resonate with both long-time fans and newcomers. The exploration of experimental videos signifies an exciting era for anime, bringing classic stories to new generations through modern lenses. As this project unfolds, it highlights the timeless and evolving nature of storytelling in anime.
