Line #17 Trivia/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin


1	* ActorAllusion:
2	** Veronica Taylor [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} has played a mother before in another show.]]
3	** In the first episode, we see Artesia escaping from Munzo dressed like a witch. Her [[Creator/MegumiHan Japanese VA]] already [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia voiced one]].
4	* CastingGag:
5	** Creator/MegumiHan became the new voice of Sayla Mass, Char's sister, and is also the daughter of Creator/KeikoHan, who voiced Lalah Sune, Char's love interest (which is especially amusing in light of Char's fucked up Oedipus complex).
6	** Creator/SaoriHayami previously voiced an {{Expy}} of [[PhlebotinumGirl Lalah Sune]]--Yurin L'Ciel--in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE''. Here, she voices the actual Lalah Sune (see TheOtherDarrin below).
7	** Creator/KeithSilverstein voices Full Frontal's clone father.
8	** Creator/ToshihikoSeki voiced [[CharClone Char Clones]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Rau Le Creuset]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Rey Za Burrel]] (who already had a sinister friendship involving much karma with a role played by Creator/ShuichiIkeda), and now voices the actual Char Aznable (the guy whose identity is [[DeadPersonImpersonation stolen]] by Casval).
9	** Creator/DougStone has previously played [[Literature/{{Durarara}} someone who's very paranoid 24/7]]. Unlike that time, Jimba is paranoid for serious reasons.
10	* PlayingAgainstType: Karen Strassman as Casval Rem Deikun.
11	** Wendee Lee as Kycilia Zabi.
12	* RealitySubtext: Zeon Deikun's more violent, insane and generally unflattering portrayal compared to the sagely figure described in the original series was motivated by the Aum Shinrikyo cult's infamous terrorist attacks. Yasuhiko [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone felt partially responsible]] for the attacks for having worked on ''Gundam'' as the series, particularly the idea of Newtypes, helped popularize New Age mysticism in Japan, ultimately leading people to become interested in "[[{{Cult}} New Religious Movements]]" like Aum Shinrikyo and their twisted visions of bringing about a new era.
13	* RecursiveAdaptation: The anime, which is an anime adaptation of a manga adaptation of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', though the ''Origin'' anime seems to be steering clear of ground that's already been covered by the original series.
14	* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: In contrast to the unique redesigns most of the mobile suits got, ''Origin'''s Zeong is simply a rehash of the original (albeit with sleeker proportions than the anime version) due to Yasuhiko using one of the more recent model kits as a reference (although in this version its cockpit is located in its collar rather than its head).
15	* StarMakingRole: Amanda Schuckman as Crowley Hamon.
16	* TheOtherDarrin: Given the decades-long gap, everyone except for Amuro, Char, Kai, and Gihren.
17	** Creator/MegumiHan replaces Creator/YouInoue in the role of Artesia/Sayla, due to Inoue's death. Also, Creator/MamiKoyama has been replaced by Creator/AkenoWatanabe in the role of Kycilia.
18	** For the English dub, all of the characters from the UC timeline were recast. Whereas the original series was dubbed by Vancouver-based Creator/TheOceanGroup[[note]]And by extension, the [[CompilationMovie compilation films]] were dubbed by Los Angeles-based Animaze[[/note]], Origin was dubbed by New York-based Creator/NYAVPost.
19	** Creator/SaoriHayami took over Creator/KeikoHan's role as Lalah Sune.
