Prepare yourselves for a new Gundam adventure !

Yes, you are reading the title of this thread correctly. By the end of the year (october), we should be treated by Bandai and Sunrise (let's hope it will be a treat) with a new Gundam series, called Gundam 00. This one will NOT be related to the Universal Century or Cosmic Era, so we're in for something different.

If the rumors are right, the design for this new series will be done by Yun Kouga (Loveless). And if you take a look at the pictures I am linking here, you can see that the boy with the red scarf looks indeed a lot like Ritsuka from Loveless.

I have my doubts about the looks of the Gundams, but the character design sure seems nice to me. The guy on the right of the second last row looks cool.

Well, I am curious to see the result of this new Gundam series. I am surely going to watch, and if it turns out to be great, it'll be a nice birthday present ( yes my b-day is in october ).

^^ the gundam designs are surely different, its more sleek and thin but somehow im not used to them yet.

either way im so pumped for this new series, GSD was such a disappointment lol.

The main characters will be four Gundam Meister mobile weapon pilots in Solestal Being, "a private military organization bent on eradicating war." The Solestal Being intend to use Gundams to enforce its goal. The teaser trailer ends with the phrase, "Rebirth begins through destruction."

Japanese fans have noted the similarity of the character designs with the work of Yun Kouga (Loveless), although Sunrise has not confirmed her involvement. Sunrise has also not confirmed the involvement of Fullmetal Alchemist director Seiji Mizushima, Hellsing video series script supervisor Yōsuke Kuroda, Eureka Seven character designer Kenichi Yoshida, or the first Gundam story's lead voice actor Tohru Furuya as the narrator.

Congrats, vorahk ! Up to the 200 I would say

Thanx so much for the additional info, HiddenRose. I had already read about the second part of your post, but the first part was completely new to me. Thanx ^.^

Ow and thanx, sis. *hugs with a kiss* I'm glad you like my topic. I felt I had to share this great news with you guys.

Ok, and now, back to work T-T *sighs*

^_^

Hmm, a new series eh...100 percent sure that it's a new series going to run in October? I keep hearing about GSE, which is definetly not happening. But hopefully there'll be someone like Cagalli in it ^_^

hehe thanks guys

hmm yeah damn those GSE rumours, they made it sound so real too ><. i got so pumped for that, gave them a chance to redeem themselves from the disappointment in GSD.

but hey there might be one chara like Cagalli coz there's one person that resembles Shinn with raven hair and red eyes .

Didn't they confirm it already? According to a theOtaku.com update found here, they did.

Yeah, it's official. Today I had another proof. In the summer issue of Animeland which I got two hours ago, they also announce the arrival of the new series. I'll quote the small announcement: ( I'll translate, since it's a French magazine )

"This autumn, a new Gundam series will start airing in Japan: Kidô senshi Gundam 00. The series will be realized by Seiji Mizushima ( FullMetal Alchemist ), as for the chara-design will be entrusted to mangaka Yun Kôga ( Loveless, Earthian ), specialized in bishônen stories !"

So, voilà

What! You mean GSE just a bluff! After make us riled up in excitement! I was hoping they would make Asucaga intact again there! What a disappointment, MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT indeed!

lol, the GSE rumour was cleaned up a long time agp .

sigh they made it sound real too >< but the plot was same old (rebels attack, good guys defend n win) for it anyway with a heap of new charas.

meh im disappointed on how they left AxC hanging like that but im glad that GSE is not happening due to the fact they're running out of ideas for SEED.

I thought it was generally known GSE was just a rumour. In a way, I was sad when I found out. I had love to see a 3d series with my beloved Kira. But as Destiny was a rather disappointment, it's best there won't be a 3d series. That way SEED won't be damaged any further.

If they do decide to make one, which I doubt very very very very much (now that Sunrise and Bandai work on the Gundam 00 project), I think they should focus on the Astray stories. The two 5 minute OVA's were really too short to please. Maybe they could work out the hatred of Canard towards Kira. That'd be cool: the clash of the who 'Ultimate Coordinators' (although Canard is a failed prototype). Hmm, or I could fanfic it, after I finish my demons anime series. *sigh* So many ideas, and so little time.

yeah don't a lot of people hate or wants to fight Kira coz he's hella strong and has access to the best gundams ever?

meh, Athrun is still my fav

I think it's like with every anime character. Some hate him, others love him.

And yeah, Kira is my fav That was probably a hard one to guess XD

EDIT: Ok, back on track now with this thread: Gundam 00
(as a moderator, it would be shamefull to get my own threads off track)

:O

oh yeah hehehe sorrry

im glad a funky new series is being produced ^^ even tho the gundams dont look the way i wanted.

Hmm, yeah. So far, I'm not too fond yet of the Gundam's design. But I guess in a certain way, it'll be refreshing, since lately all MS were in a way a copy of older machines. Besides, I think after a while, we'll get used to the new design.

As for the chara design, my hopes are high.
