The pic says it's a serialized novel by Katsuyuki Sumisawa, Gundam Wing's head writer.

Funny there's more anime coming the year after the 30th anniversary than there was during it.

I guess Sangokuden has really proven itself as a merchandising entity. I imagine the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms-motif has opened it to a larger Asian audience than the older Musha stuff.

Newtype posted a retraction on their website regarding that Gundam UC Perfect Guide blurb: it should say "an anime is confirmed" and not "a TV anime is confirmed".

It's getting pretty funny at this point...

Any more updates beside the fact that it is actually a series? Nothing much on Gundam Ace this month... At least according to info released so far. Just that the cast for the anime will be unveiled next month in the Gundam Expo. In addition, Char Custom News says the first promo video for Unicorn w...

I'm guessing the Eye-Zack was only released because it makes an appearance in Unicorn, too.

I don't know that the Banshee is stronger than the original Unicorn. The Japanese Wiki entry states that the Banshee's atmospheric maneuverability far exceeds that of the Unicorn's thanks to improvements based on data provided from the first unit and it can create a 'psycofield' phenomenon through p...

In addition to the more extensive pseudoscience, the mechanical details of the UC, and more overt militarism (less present in the Tomino series though not completely absent), another thing I've tended to like about the UC's faux-realism is the sparing use of the "badass action hero" trope....

After he shoots Kycilia in the head, all he needs to do is fly out the open hanger door and get to a ship, right?

According to the Unicorn Gundam's Japanese Wiki profile, it can.

Illia Pazom shows up in the Double Fake: Under The Gundam manga so I guess the writers of that assumed she lived through ZZ, too.

I'm rather unfamiliar with Unicorn but how tied to the other UC series is it? Is it like the UC OVAs which could easily stand alone or is it a quasi sequel of CCA? Seems closer to the latter. Back when it was first announced, it was said the codename for the story was ZZZ (Triple Zeta) Gundam. A co...

All aside, it's good to get unreputable* confirmation on Unicorn getting animated, even though the Italian translator may have gotten the details wrong. Perhaps he did accurately interpret what Sunrise's CEO told him to translate, who in turn though got the details (intentionally?) wrong. ;) I'm th...

Thanks to ZGMF-X42S DESTINY@CBF, now we know . I know zilch Japanese, but here's what I can tell for certain : 1. The two lines of large-print yellow text at the bottom of the page mention Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Presumably this has to do with next year's movie. Just says they have an article on Gund...

Personal opinion: There was a copy of the solicit for the next volume of Gundam UC posted on 2ch last week that specifically stated some kind of important Unicorn announcement was "finally" going to be made. Not that it conclusively shows anything, but I generally subscribe to the "wh...

I don't think Sunrise generally clarifies the format of a new Gundam project until it's formally announced. And this was like an announcement that there's going to be an announcement. 8) A TV series or movie are possibilities but I'm assuming they won't have another OVA while MS IGLOO 2 is still run...

Hey, folks. Thanks for the many kind words. I am very sad to see it go, and I do very much hope that RGZ and Neo Era will at least leave it as is so it can still be a news archive at the very least. That's the plan. Blogger accounts and Blogspot addresses don't expire. I hope someone else steps in a...

I'll play devil's advocate for the Thrones: I have a hard time counting them out since they gave the 1/100 nods to three side story Gundams (all Exia variants, granted, but still without the exposure of being on TV) and two grunts, which tend to be much less popular than anything with the word "...

But is there a sense (I don't know who might be able to answer this, but someone may) that the investment in another UC series would be financially viable? I know that OYW merchandise continues to be THE biggest seller for Bandai as far as Gundam goes, but I have less of a handle on how the rest of...

Gundam Expo Tokyo trailer for this is on Youtube.

An anon on 2 Channel posted the following description of the Gundam Expo 00 promo vid, split up into two posts. Some shorthand nicknames were used but I think I got most of them. My quick interpretation: Title Earth appears Setsuna attacks using a cloaked (caped, not invisible) Exia, shot of Setsuna...
