So yea, new gundam tv series which hopefully will make up for seed and all that cosmic era crap. Here's what Gunota said:
A very short promo appeared after today's episode of TBS/MBS' "Toward The Terra" announcing a new Gundam series. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Double Oh) is set to air at 6pm on Oct 2007. The official site is up providing a streaming promo. Known details are: Setting - 2307 AD ("seireki", Japanese for "anno domini") Characters - 4 Gundam Meisters, who pilot the mobile weapons. Factions - Solestal Beings (not real sure on the English name right now), a private militia group whose purpose is to eradicate wars. Tagline at the end of the commercial - "Rebirth begins through destruction" Rumors about the series have been going around Japanese message boards for some time, especially after Sunrise registered several Gundam00 domains. The proclamation that the setting would neither be in the Universal Century of the original nor the Cosmic Era of Gundam SEED, as stated by Sunrise's Yasuo Miyakawa, seems to have been followed through with. Staff members are yet to be confirmed although the most persistent rumor is that the series will be directed by Fullmetal Alchemist's Seiji Mizushima. Edit: The clearest look at the head of the main Gundam can be seen on the top page at Gundam Perfect Web. Squee? |

Eh, I don't like the fact that they got a Yaoi artist to do the character designs.
It pretty much means we're gonna have a ton of retarded fangirls in the fanbase. But from what I've been hearing, it seems like it could be sorta decent. I mean, its not CE so its a start.  |

Well it seems like it's in our universe this time.(AD) But I also wonder what implications that will have on the show or if they'll consider that much. (Maybe tie in specific present events to life 300 years from now?) Mobile suits go green? And I could honestly go a series or two WITHOUT something being dropped on earth. Or colonies having their populations massacred in some other gruesome way.. |

Posted by Jinsei, benevolent star They could always do more stuff re: Mars, or something to do with the deepspace aspects of future life. Something like that may be cool. Although TURN-A was probably my favourite series. <3 |

What I fear most is that I've lost my craving for Gundam. After watching Armored Trooper Votoms, I know that mecha anime does not have to follow the same archetypes or any at all. But Gundam 00 will probably do something familiar. Maybe they can capture that modern wartime feeling that Macross did. Civilians always as targets, always under fire. I mean while Gundam had a lot of civilian casualties, (largely from colony drops) you didn't always fear for the characters' lives EXCEPT when they went into battle. That's one really awesome point about the better gundam series.(especially Zeta) When pilots sortie, you don't know who would come back alive. Hopefully somehow they can mix the two and I wouldn't mind if they cut out the tragic romantic relationships that is also iconic of gundam.
UPDATE: Director - Seiji Mizushima Series Composition - Yousuke Kuroda Character design - Yun Kouga Animation character design - Michinori Chiba Mechanic design - Kunio Okawara, Kanetake Ebikawa, Takayuki Yanase Mechanic concept design - Hitoshi Fukuchi, Kenji Teraoka Animation mechanic design - Seiichi Nakatani From Sotsu Agency's official website, the press release for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the 12th Gundam TV series and the first to be broadcast in Hi-Def. The premise is given as follows: "The setting is Earth 300 years from the present day, in 2307 AD. The series depicts the protagonist, Setsuna F. Seiei, who pilots a mobile suit (Gundam Excia) for a mysterious private militia (Celestial Being), going against a whole world where conflicts never cease and the struggle to eradicate war." Bandai Namco's press release says the first Gundam 00 plamodel, the 1/144 Gundam Excia, comes in September. Outside of Gunpla, expect a slew of merchandising including figures, candy toys, vending machine stuff, apparel, video games, mobile content, and DVD & video. -Gunota Headlines |
