35th? Anniversary?

[Darkerangel]

Is my math right? Next year (2014) will be the 35th anniversary of gundam?

You are correct. During the Gundam BF announcement Sunrise and Bandai stated that they will (of corse) be doing special things for the announcement, which spans from 2014-2015 (because Gundam was released in 1979, while Gunpla was released in 1980). So far we know that more about Gundam: The Origin will be announced (with a possible release during the anniversary timeline) and a new project by Tomino (currently named G’s Reconquista). Also, the seventh and final episode of Gundam Unicorn will be released and Gundam BF will be on the air during part of the time. It also seems that the "HG All Gundam Project" is part of the anniversary, which is a line of reboxing of old HG main Gundam suits along with new Gundams that have never been given the HG treatment. I'm sure that there will be much more also.

Oh wow, thanks for the info.

I just hope that when we role around to Macross's 35th Anniversary in 2017, we get something more compelling than Macross FB7

Generally Macross does something big for anniversaries, so it was disappointing to see the 30th go to waste essentially.

5th Anniversary: Flash Back 2012
10th Anniversary: Macross II
20th Anniversary: Macross Zero
25th Anniversary: Macross Frontier

The Macross 30th PS3 game was supposed to be very good, but I still don't think that's quite on par with the other anniversaries listed above. Would be great to see something more significant for the 30th.

You forgot Macross Dynamite 7 for the 15th Anniversary.

And yeah, Macross 30: Voices Across The Galaxy was pretty good but still... something more than, well, FB7 would have been nice.

Anyway, back to Gundam.
