As the dust settles for Sei and Reji in Gundam Build Fighters two new Gundam projects emerge on the horizon. The 35th Anniversary for the legendary franchise is upon us and comes charging beam sabers drawn and we got the news for you! So strap in and hit that link because we’re launching!
The first of the two projects is a new anime series called Gundam Reconguista In G written and directed by Gundam Franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino who hasn’t worked on a Gundam TV series since Turn A Gundam in 1999. The series is set in the RC or Reguild Century which follows the Universal Century of the Mobile Suit Franchise, and potentially predates the Correct Century era of Turn A Series. It will follow the adventures of a pilot trainee named Beruri Zenamu in Capital Guard, an organization protecting a space elevator.
Director and Writer: Yoshiyuki Tomino (Mobile Suit Gundam)
Character Designer: Kenchi Yoshida (Various Episodes of Turn A Gundam)
Mech Designer: Kimitoshi Yamane ( Bubble Gum Crisis, A.D Police, and various Gundam Projects) & Akira Yasuda (Turn A Gundam and Overman King Gainer)
Music: Yugo Kanno ( Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures: Stardust Crusaders & Psycho Pass)
On top of that we will also be seeing the manga series Gundam: Origins be given a 4 part movie series in 2015. Gundam: Origins is a currently running manga series produced but franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino and Gundam’s original character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. The manga series is faithful to the source material of the TV series, but Yasuhiko has taken the liberty of changing certain elements in the series universe, giving a different character to the series and the struggle that unfolds. The first movie itself will start off in 0068 11 years prior to the start of the show dealing with the assassination of Zeon Zum Deikun and Char and Sayla’s childhood. The movie has been titled “Blue-Eyed Casval” and is once again set to debut some time in 2015
Gundam and it’s property is owned by Sunrise
