So this is happening:

I hope we'll get to see Commander Zaku in all his glory!

[Raikoh]

I'm really looking forward to hearing Ikeda act goofy and silly. The Char/Lalah segments are my favorite.

My dream come true...

Now I hope they can slip in Gundam Sousei...

Narration: Toru Furuya

Fit in weird way...

[Destiny_Gundam]

Well he was already Gundam 00's narrator.

Bit of a shame the original cast isn't returning to their roles, but I guess they're going with the idea that these characters are not really the ones from the original show.

[Kuruni]

Official Site, for your convenient....

Damn...Kycilia look kinda cute...and my "inner bear" really like Kikka .

[HellCat]

Crazy theory- what if this is partly a back door to try out replacement VAs? It's gonna need to happen one day and doing it slowly via a gag project like this is far less sudden than say suddenly having a different Char VA introduced in The Origin. Ease them in, build acceptance and in time make them the official replacements?

[Kyuzo Aoi]

I looked up at cast, and LOL-ed at who was casted as Lalah-san. Turns out to be the real life daughter of Lalah's original MSG voice actress.

BTW, I agree with some of you thinking this is a test run for replacement VA's, but I think this will only apply to those who, for some reason, really needs to be replaced.

[Raikoh]

So we don't get the pleasure of hearing the original cast acting silly again (like SD Gundam). Ah, well, can't win 'em all. This cast seems to be fairly solid, though.

I just hope that Konishi doesn't default to his typical "silly voice" and tries to fit Ikeda's original aloof performance.

A weird thing that amuses me: the actor for Amuro here also voiced Haru in Gunpla Builders.

[Heaven Piercing Man]

Kamina is Char?

Oh this is just golden

[Destiny_Gundam]

Crazy theory- what if this is partly a back door to try out replacement VAs?

If that were the case, why did they re-cast Bright? They already picked Ken Narita as Bright's replacement VA.

[Kuruni]

BTW, they definitely MUST animate Zogojuash.

[Raikoh]

And perhaps give it a Gunpla. In fact, if we want to talk merchandising for Gundam-san, that femmy Gyan might get a Gunpla.

...Just in time for Build Fighters 2...

Sazaki's sister?

Also holding onto the hope that maybe it might diverge a bit from the manga and we'll finally get that

[Destiny_Gundam]

Episode one is out. If your life long dream was to see Char do a naked dance, consider it fulfilled.

[HellCat]

So I assume this is not a title Gundam.info feels the need to legally upload and subtitle?

[Deacon Blues]

Only 2 and a half minutes? Huh... :/

[Strike Zero]

Snarky Lalah is a freaking miracle of the universe.

[excalibur2008]

Snarky Lalah is a freaking miracle of the universe.

And managed to get a Zeta Gundam joke in there.

[Destiny_Gundam]

"No gold either."

Love it.

[PowerdGNFlag]

ON one hand I'm wondering on how they will make the longer stories from the comic work (e.g. Garma on Space Island, Comet Chick, etc.); whether they will present them in continuous episodes or do them intermittently.
