The Gundam Announcement!

So, sorry that the previous post was a bit late but the announcement has already been made and I figured why not just put up both posts so this one is of the actual announcement that was made.

The live announcement was recorded for those that missed it, but it is in Japanese with no subtitles unfortunately for those of you who don't understand the language.

You can watch the announcement video if you visit: www.gundam35th.net

The anniversary project has launched some big plans for upcoming year. It was previously announced that, Gundam Unicorn will wraping up this spring with the 90 minute seventh and final episode screening in Japanese theaters for a limited time May 17th before the June 6th home video release. With the end of Unicorn comes the beginnning of many long awaited projects for us Gundam fans.

One such project is from Gundam series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's space elevator project G-Reko debuts this falls as Gundam Reconguista in G.

Gundam Reconguista in G is set in the next century of the Universal calendar, the anime will feature Kenichi Yoshida on character design. Yoshida is also joined by a team that includes Akira Yasuda, Ippei Gyoubu, and Kimitoshi Yamane who will work on mecha with Yuugo Kanno.

Also, the four part anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is scheduled to begin the spring of next year with a "Blue Eyed Casval".

In other news, Yasutaka Nakata, an artist who has performed with Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (Pon Pon Pon), is linked to a theme song for the anniversary.

The new Gundam for the new main character of Gundam Reconguista in G (Above) is similar in design to the Strike Freedom (Gundam Seed Destiny) with its gold accents, and also had similarities to many other C.E. mobile suits.

The Original Gundam (Right) is shown looking very nice and remastered compared to the original animation from early 90's, so I am hoping that they can keep the same designs just touch them up so they have a nice balance of modern animation and the original animation.
