Line 9:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Both the manga and OVAs contain several to the Universal Century. The soundtrack for the OVAs in particular not only include elements of the 1979 anime but also remastered versions of those original tracks.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Decidedly so compared to the original 1979 series.
* [[Flash Back]]: An entire arc of the manga is focused largely on Char and Sayla's backstory, set to the backdrop of the turmoil leading up to the One Year War. Said arc also serves as the basis for the first set of OVA adaptations.
* [[How We Got Here]]: ''The Origin'' puts greater emphasis on events leading up to and during the One Year War.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Zeon Deikun himself is portrayed as this, being more unhinged and fanatical rather than the saintly image he's previously seen as. Though it's left open as to whether he's always been like this or as a result of poisoning.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The epilogue "sequels" penned by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, ''Artesia 0083'' and ''Amuro 0082'' are decidedly more light-hearted.
* [[Retraux]]: While the animation is up to 21st Century standards and incorporates CGI, the art style of the OVAs (and manga) harken back to the 1979 original, with a dash of [[The Eighties]] for good measure.
* [[Riddle for the Ages]]: For all the manga's exposition and expansion on the backstory, it never outright reveals ''who or what'' killed Zeon Deikun, as there's much in the way of evidence for any theory.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Garma Zabi is given his share of [[Kick the Dog]] moments, which is meant to highlight the darker side of his desperate desire to be deserving of the Zabi name. Even ''then'', he's one of the more sympathetic characters compared to Gihren or Kycilia.
