Here's a new info of the upcoming Gundam Series for October this year. The Title is Gundam OO (termed Double OH) here are some info from Gunota Headlines: Setting - 2307 AD ("seireki", Japanese for "anno domini") Characters - 4 Gundam Meisters, who pilot the mobile weapons. Factions - Solestal Beings (not real sure on the English name right now), a private militia group whose purpose is to eradicate wars. Tagline at the end of the commercial - "Rebirth begins through destruction"
Rumors about the series have been going around Japanese message boards for some time, especially after Sunrise registered several Gundam00 domains. The proclamation that the setting would neither be in the Universal Century of the original nor the Cosmic Era of Gundam SEED, as stated by Sunrise's Yasuo Miyakawa, seems to have been followed through with. Staff members are yet to be confirmed although the most persistent rumor is that the series will be directed by Fullmetal Alchemist's Seiji Mizushima.Here's the Website link: www.gundam00.net/Thanks also to Snacks of Greattoys.net for the news.

If I have not mistaken, this could be the one to target the junior fans as Bandai earlier announced.

The trailer looks nice. If I have not mistaken, this could be the one to target the junior fans as Bandai earlier announced. Let's hope it's not for the kiddies!

Thanks for the links. The art looks good so far. Sad to hear though that it's not U.C. timeline--my favorite. I just hope it has a great storyline.

Hmmm. I thought Bandai / Sunrise is going to finish the third part of the CE series before moving to a new timeline. Weren't there plans to make Seed to be a trilogy?
Nevertheless, if the story is good, then why not. The main Gundam seems to be sleeker than the usual Gundams we are familiar with.

I hope this series wont have so much gundam in it like Gundam SEED/Destiny(MSV). it made me lost the feeling of Strong/rare image in Gundam. In SEED/Destiny, Gundams become so common. I prefer it to be like Wing Gundam Series , strong MS with skilled pilot

I think the show has a lot of potential... The director is the guy who previously did Full Metal Alchemist, he was recuited for his strong character relationship skills

more infos about this new Gundam series from Gunota: STORYLINE"2307 AD.
As fossil fuels became exhausted, humanity found a new energy source to change their situation: A large-scale solar power system with three enormous orbiting elevators. However, only a few large countries and their allies reaped the benefits.
Three superpowers had ownership of the three orbiting elevators: The Union, based in the United States Of America, The People's Reform League, made up of China, Russia, and India, and Europe's AEU. The superpowers continue playing a large zero-sum game for their own dignity and respective prosperity. Even though it is the 24th century, humanity has yet to become one.
In this world where war has no end, a private militia appears advocating the eradication of war through force. Each possessing a mobile suit Gundam, they are Celestial Being. The armed intervention by the Gundams against all acts of war begins."GUNDAM and its PILOTSGN-001 Gundam ExiaHead height: 18.3m Base weight: 57.2 tons Screen details: "Because of the GN particles eminating from the GN Drive within the unit, it has astounding mobility and near infinite energy. Compared to currently-in-use MS, it introduces a great deal of high technology." Addition info from Dengeki's write-up: "A close-combat, high-mobility MS equipped with 7 blades." "The GN particles eminated into the air cause radio wave interference and disrupt ordinary radar and communications." Setsuna F. Seiei16-years-old Screen details: "Fated boy soldier born & raised in the war-torn Middle East's Kurdis Republic. A cool kid who hates getting close to others and keeps his feelings inside." GN-002 Gundam DynamesHead height: 18.2m Base weight: 59.1 tons Screen details: "Same as the other Gundams, equipped with a GN Drive. It's emphasis is gun warfare. Has many guns suitable for missions and a GN Sniper Rifle as standard equipment." Addition info from Dengeki's write-up: "When it carries out precision shooting, the head transforms into Sniper Mode with a concealed camera eye appearing. During that time, a rifle-style controller is used." Lockon Stratos24-years-old Screen details: "Decided to join Celestial Being after losing his parents because of terrorism. The eldest pilot and team leader." GN-003 Gundam KyriosHead height: 18.9m Base weight: 54.8 tons Screen details: "Variable unit that can transform into a flight form. In its flight form, it has a rear arms container and can deal with every mission with versatility." Addition info from Dengeki's write-up: "While it excels at hit-and-run attacks in its flight form, even in its MS form it has offensive capabilities to match other Gundams." Allelujah Haptism19-years-old Screen details: "Spent his childhood as an orphan in the People's Reform League. Usually gentle and quiet." GN-005 Gundam VirtueHead height: 18.4m Base weight: 66.7 tons Screen details: "Heavily armed type and has powerful weapons such as the GN Bazooka and GN Cannon. It expands the GN Field, covering itself with a barrier and has considerably high defense." Tieria Erde?-years-old Screen details: "A boy with a rare kind of beauty, his history, nationality, and origins all a mystery. Within his gentle tone, he can give a sense of cold intentions." OFFICIAL WEBSITEwww.gundam00.net/www.gundam00.net/ms/index.htmlwww.gundam00.net/character/index.htmlMIZUSHIMA / ANIMAGE INTERVIEWThis month's anime magazines had interviews with Seiji Mizushima, the director of the Gundam 00 series. Below is a translation of an interview from Animage magazine. A Newtype magazine interview will be up tomorrow. Q: Tell us how the title "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" came about? A: It started as a temporary title, but it ended up being the official title. Originally I wanted to have a cool name, but we all forgot about it. Besides the obvious reason of starting from zero, there are other reasons. Right now it is a secret, but it will become a keyword as the story progresses.Q: Reason behind why this series is set in the future of our world? A: I personally have no deep knowledge about UC or CE so jumping into their worlds would be inappropriate and offensive to the staff who worked on those series. To me, it made perfect sense to make this series connected to our world. By doing this, it is easier to reflect our history and blend it with the series. At this moment, I am not focusing too much about making this ultra real or serious. This is entertainment after all so I'll mirror some of the real world issues in this series like I have with the anime I worked on in the past.Q: What kind of Gundam story are you aiming for? A: Don't know if this is a good or bad thing. I haven't watched a lot of the previous Gundam series. When I was first offered this job, I thought to myself, "Aren't there more Gundam-minded people than me?" Sunrise told me "We want to create a new Gundam so the director doesn't have to know a lot about Gundam." I have staff like Yousuke Kuroda and mecha designers, who are Gundam fans, so they will make sure it is Gundam while I will try to create without thinking too much that this is a Gundam series. Perhaps, this might be the theme, but I will bring my own Gundam-ness to the series.Q: What is your Gundam-ness? A: One is writing about war. Gundam is a weapon after all. This doesn't mean I'm going to be devoted to battles scenes. Instead I believe it is important to approach the war theme straightforward. (Gunota note: from here he tries to be funny) Other than that, a mobile weapon walking on 2 legs using beam sabers and a beam rifle. Then the basic stuff like Gundam is red, blue, yellow, and white. *laughs* This time, we are being more adventurous with the designs. If you have these 4 colors, they look like Gundam. *laughs*Q: The pilots of the Gundams belong to a group who are trying to end war. What are you trying to say with this? A: Let's take this one phrase, "Using force to end wars" and see what happens when someone carries out this contradicting act. "What do you start to see?" is one of things I want to write. Since this is a drama involving these characters, you will see "What happens to the world when they pilot the Gundam? What will these pilots do and how will they change?" This will be the gut of the series for sure.Q: How will the MS designs and battle action turn out? A: We hope to bring 2 styles: one is the super action style from SEED, second are actions that take advantage of the MS. When the plot of Gundams entering the conflict was being setup, we had a conversation saying "It might be all right for the Gundams to be super mecha." Therefore, the antagonist's MS was designed reflecting today's weapons and the Gundams were designed to confront them. It will feel like super mecha vs real mecha. The concept of the Gundam being far superior is one concept I had from the beginning. I don't know how much of that you will see, but the staff will follow along and hopefully you might see some odd looking scenes.Q: Lastly, a message for the fans of the upcoming series. A: While this will be a drama connecting people with people or people with the world, I will not be forcing answers on them. I'm hoping this series will motivate viewers into thinking. A Gundam novice like me is working real hard creating a new Gundam so I hope the previous fans and new fans will support us.YOUTUBE TEASERS CLIPS

Hey guys,
Revisiting this link, what do you guys think of the series so far (up to episode 15)? I think the character development came along slowly but is good, the battles are good and I love the music, when the characters scream in pain I actually feel it, I like seed but this is better than the kira yamato's or heero Yu's of the world...
