Feelings mix on the battlefield as the young Zeon officers advance their secret strategy for the revival of Zeon…

Going back to the Universal Century, eh? Awesome!
Oh, and I fully await the Viewtiful one's "Told Ya So!" 8D

I myself am not sure what to think about this. People on 4chan are already pondering if this setting even has enough space inside UC to become a fullfletched Gundam series of 50 episodes. An OVA series seems more likely. Personally, I would have prefered Gundam Unicorn.
And I think it was quite obvious that the 30th Anniversary Project would be something UC related.

Good RX78, you look rather Katoki.

Because Katoki is the mechanical designer for this series. But Jesus Yamato, why does it have to be ANOTHER freakin' RX-78? Can't they make a new model? To tell the truth, I've had quite enough of that design after watching 0083. Could they not at least have made it an Alex variation?
-
because the MkII doesn't get finalized for another 5 years.

They really should've put better security on it too! 8)

I wasn't really talking about the Mark II, but surely there were other Gundam type mobile suits developed within the Federation during that time? Wasn't the Gundam Development Project already in progress at that time? Didn't they make the Alex as well?
-
Besides the Alex, I'd say the RX-79.
Other than that, I'd say the GP's from 0083.
-
Takes place befor 0083. And the Gundam Development project wasn't that large. Aside from the units alreardy in 0083, the only 2 units not in the show were RX-78GP00 Gundam "Blossom" and the RX-78GP04G Gundam "Gerbera"

Heh heh, you beat me to it.
Any way, the thing that excites me, more than anything at the moment?
NO MORE CHILDREN.
Thus far, the youngest person of this cast is 20 years old. We may finally have another Gundam series, free of pilots who have yet to grow a single pubic hair! HALLELUJAH. 0v0
The only other thing I could ask for would be to minimize, or even skip over the whole thing about Newtypes for another UC series. The closer we get to some thing like 08th MS Team, the better, in my opinion.

Sai Saichi was cool, thanks. D:

Eh. While SS was cool, I just always preferred Gundam series that older guys as pilots, instead of fresh-faces.

Well, a good portion of Gundams were just lying there waiting to be stolen! 8)

Characters that are already emotionally and physically mature aren't that interesting for POV characters. Not to say it can't be done... but seriously now, I prefer to watch a character grow through a series than to watch some hardass plow through everything. <_<
That can wait until after their balls drop. Then they have a right to plow through everything. XD
Needless to say, this one'll probably fly over my head. Bai :3
-
oh cool, I shall check this out :3.
whilst in my head, a Front Mission anime, would not be too far off from 8th MS Team, aside from well, not being in space and stuff...but that's just me. XD

No new Gundam series this year. Bandai announced during a press conference regarding the Gundam 30th Anniversary that they have no plans for another television series of the franchise airing on Japanese TV this year.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-11/bandai-head/no-plans-for-2009-gundam-tv-series
Meanwhile, they've announced that they will build a 1/1 Scale RX-78-2 Gundam statue in Tokyo which will be on display for free for two months. The statue is supposed to be erected in July.

Man, I wish I could see that, as well as attend the "Feel G" and "Soul G" events as well.
-
Wait...
Is that the same 1/1 scale Gundam reported last year?
-
No. That was an 8 foot tall statue at a train station. This will is going to be full scale, including working steam vents. 78 doesn't have those flight lights on the shoulders, but that's more a legal issue.
-
Well then, today's April 7th. Today, 30 years ago, the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam aired on Japanese TV. Happy Birthday Gundam!

The Only gundam with adults I had watched was Char's Counterattack and even then I didn't remember what it was even about, I read various wikis and participated (rarely) in a Gundam forum to get the whole deal. I don't why but Gundam (or any Japanese real robot show) use to turn me off because it involved some war or something but I learned that series was actually antiwar. Even though I don't know anything about Gundam models or had watched the series to get a "feel" for the show, I still Kudos and it is great the franchise has reached its 30th birthday.

Heck, I don't know how the characters are even going to develop or how they intend to develop them. I need to watch that Zeta Gundam or any other UC Gundam to fet an idea of this. How do develop already mature characters? Or is there more to maturity that meets the eye?
