New Gundam series this October confirmed!
Gundam 00 was announced with a short promo that aired at the end of a recent episode of Towards the Terra. Set in 2307 AD, the story revolves around four Gundam pilots who look damn gay and some silly organization that wants to end all wars for good, possibly by fighting one. How many times have we heard that one before?
The promo on the official site is distributed via Bandai Channel, which means those of us who are not in Japan cannot access it. Therefore I have embedded the YouTube version above.
Where are the pretty girls? :(

i actually got tempted… gives me the gundam wing feel… but i dun think there’d be another pink haired princess this time =/
June 3rd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
It looks good, and has similar features to Gundam Wing!
There better not be another pink princess running around trying to be a peacekeeper!
Yay! Second Post!
Where is DarkDestiny?
I’ve been waiting for a trailer!
Those who uploaded it I say Thanks!
June 3rd, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Actually, it does look pretty good. I like the chara designs. Thankfully there’s no Lacus. Lacus is one ugly pig.
June 3rd, 2007 at 3:01 pm
It’s looking good. I like the character designs especially.
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:05 pm
who knows, another surprise: character design: CLAMP….
>.>
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:58 pm
Actually the character designs are by Yun Kouga, the mangaka of Loveless… While I think she draws really well, I can’t help but wonder if this says anything about the kind of…relationships we will see in the series.
June 3rd, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Lol, same old rehash of the same old idea. Well, i like battleship with lots of missile, so its balance out, i guess.
June 3rd, 2007 at 9:35 pm
Well, here I am. Looks like my intuition is right.
And in any case, whoever posted this was a bit wrong. There’s a site where everyone can get to download the trailer, and that is the Gunota Headlines.
And who says Lacus is a pig? More like the princess of the SEED series. Can’t help to have pink hair, can she?
June 3rd, 2007 at 10:47 pm
For some reason, the last guy(?) just reminded me of Shinn…Right now the only thing I’m curious about is whether the first episode is gonna be another rehashed sequence–or will we see something different?
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:17 pm
If anything, I’m hoping that Sunrise cuts its 50 episode gig and settle for a 26 episode format so that each episode’s production costs would rise and maybe all the battles won’t look all the freakin same because the keep reusing the same freakin screens designed to be reused. It’s like watching an traditional RPG “battle”.
Another thing that I’m hoping for is that the Gundams won’t be completely one-sided and maybe cut down on the cannon-fodder.
As for the Gundam designs, I was actually hoping for those Unicorn Gundam things that have been floating around on the internet.
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:21 pm
Thinking about it, there’ll probably be extreme yaoi undertones, a la Heero x Duo x Troa threesome, trying somewhat to appeal to yaoi fan girls, but nothing outright since the majority of Gundam fans are guys after all…
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:27 pm
Poor Bandai.
June 3rd, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Unicorn Gundam was for a novel series. That was designed by Katoki, though.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:42 am
This is at least the second series that emphasize on “eradicating wars”, the other being Gundam SEED. Not sure about others though.
Just found a translation of the last phrase shown in the teaser:
[i]Rebirth begins through destruction[/i]
What does that mean?
June 4th, 2007 at 9:30 am
>>>What does that mean?
It means Sunrise likes to take ideas from itself. See Lulu, Code Geass.
June 4th, 2007 at 9:44 am
So, this goes out about the same time as Geass season 2? This means noodle people piloting mecha against gay people piloting mecha?
Gundam design look sorta like Turn A, should we feel happy already?
June 4th, 2007 at 9:45 am
At least the Gundams don’t have giant mustaches.
June 4th, 2007 at 9:47 am
破壊によるガンダム？・・・・・・good！面白そう！
I think that characters of man are good.
Buｔ・・・・・・・・girl is not so pretty.＾＾；
Where are the pretty girls?・・・・・期待！

How many mre GUNDAM shows does Bandai indent to make? Yeah Where are the preety girls? LOLs
June 4th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Why can’t they ever make a good gundam series with less gay and maybe a (moe) girl pilot here and there or something.
Oh wait, it’s called Code Geass.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Looks promising. Gotta check it out.
Does this also mean that SEED is dead? LOL~ I remembered some announcement of a SEED movie…i guess it’s canned now.
June 4th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
They make animations, and sell the toys. Who cares about production costs and storyline if you can introduce lots of types of pwning gundams, and sell them for $40 each to the fans.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Now we can have actual yaoi Gundam scenes and not lousy doujins!
June 4th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
Yeah, and when the bishounen pilots get emo-ed up, they break into “00″ mode when the eyes are like 0_0 & they become powerful killing machines.
Hmmm the blue gundam look likes a full metal panic robot with pointy antennae.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
I don’t know about it either, but I got it somewhere I think.
But who says the other Gundam series are dead? Aren’t there a couple of games involving old series coming up one at a time? And Gundam SEED, as well as another movie, will probably arrive soon.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:21 am
The animation is less “CG”ed and more “drawn”ed, which probably hints that this is going to be more like gundam wing rather than seed.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:33 am
I’m no homophobe , but it does look really really gay. So I’ve decided to rename Gundam 00 …. Gundam Ooooh!
June 5th, 2007 at 1:50 am
Hmm. Yeah I could tell the designs were done by Yun Kouga in just those few seconds. I love her art, but lol, another gay Gundam for sure. Hopefully it’s good… haven’t watched any Gundam since before SEED began. I hope those aren’t the only main characters though, cause I didn’t find them appealing.
There better be some cute girls too! Cute boys too… none of those anywhere anymore.
June 5th, 2007 at 10:43 am
The main character (I assume the person who talks is the main character) sounds like Suzaku from Code Geass. I also feel like half these gundams are hybrids of old generation gundams like what SEED and SEED Destiny did, but more awesome. I need a hook up on a new Gundam type series. Code Geass failed me until summer and this won’t be out till October…this sucks. Oh well…
June 6th, 2007 at 2:38 am
OMG! What the hell?
Why are people complaining that their aren’t cute looking people in the series. Its a Gundam show, It isn’t supposed to be about cute people in mobile suits. Gundam is about the guys in Mobile Suits doing some rear kicking action.
Gundam is supposed to be all about action and plots. Who really gives a damn whether there are cute girls in the series or not.
Go Watch Gundam SEED for all that crap.
JEEZ PPL!
June 6th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
I’m very sure that this series had some better plots than the previous one, Gundam SEED. Although both focused on Gundam in war, Gundam SEED, in overall, emphasizes quite a bit about politics, and the manipulation of the people under the different nations/alliances. We do see it in the several leaders in nations/alliances in the series, for instance Raww le Crueset and Lord Dijibril.
Hope to see OO focus on another area about war.
June 6th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
In response to reply 30:
Yes, such anime series is usually about plots, and that’s what interests people. If you keep wondering about where’s the cute characters, look elsewhere.
June 7th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
This is BL Gundam.

I’m not going to start another argument here but go to
this link
/websites/www.darkmirage.com-pre/2006/08/11/new-gundam-series-next-october-apparently/
I make most of my argument about how CRAPPY gundam seed REALLY is over there.
A brief synopsis would be “cus whorez that don’t add up to the plot eventually caused the fanz to be so fed up with it that toonami had to cancel it.
HAHA”
So feel free to email me at heeroyuy041@aol.com or hotmail, or yahoo (yeah they r all the same)
It’s hard to find ppl like u Hasina that actually have similar viewz like me!
BYE!
:)
July 6th, 2007 at 4:11 am
OMG not another Gundam…. the mechs are cool… but please… isn’t it bout time they retired… =_=
Seed was ok (it was my first gundam series.. maybe thats why…)… destiny pissed me off… wing made me sleep…
Think i’ll give this one a pass… unless there are really awsome gundams…
Theres gonna be a code geass season 2?? 0_0
July 11th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Well, I don’t really mind watching Gundam OO, given if it comes to local TV in my region. Like shows with pretty rich plots.
Anyway, in case no one ever noticed, one of last year’s events have confirmed the production of the Gundam SEED movie. Check out the Wikipedia page involving the movie.
Won’t be around for a while, so see ya!
August 9th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
Well well, looks like this place is pretty much abandoned.
Anyway, talking about pink-haired characters, we’ll have one in this new series of Gundam. CHECK GUNOTA HEADLINES NOW FOR THE CHARACTER UPDATES!
July 6th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
