oh right, impulse. Hey wait a second...

Actually, now that I think about it... Chaos, Abyss and Gaia were there from the beginning... and they were never replaced (though techincally, Gaia was rebuilt... but no real modifications to count it as a different MS). That makes 8.

That's what we're debating about... more speficially, whether or not said tradition has gone on unbroken up until now (Eight Gundams Tsu! EIGHT!). By proving that said tradition can be broken, it opens the possiblility for more mecha possibilities (at the very least, more than just the usual prime numbers).

More news people. And the rumor is true. FMA's director is the director of this new series.
MS Gundam 00 official press releases From Sotsu Agency's official website, the press release for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, the 12th Gundam TV series and the first to be broadcast in Hi-Def. The premise is given as follows: "The setting is Earth 300 years from the present day, in 2307 AD. The series depicts the protagonist, Setsuna F. Seiei, who pilots a mobile suit (Gundam Excia) for a mysterious private militia (Celestial Being), going against a whole world where conflicts never cease and the struggle to eradicate war." Bandai Namco's press release says the first Gundam 00 plamodel, the 1/144 Gundam Excia, comes in September. Outside of Gunpla, expect a slew of merchandising including figures, candy toys, vending machine stuff, apparel, video games, mobile content, and DVD & video. ¶ 11:26 PM Newtype Gundam 00 news The staff: Director - Seiji Mizushima Series Composition - Yousuke Kuroda Character design - Yun Kouga Animation character design - Michinori Chiba Mechanic design - Kunio Okawara, Kanetake Ebikawa, Takayuki Yanase Mechanic concept design - Hitoshi Fukuchi, Kenji Teraoka Animation mechanic design - Seiichi Nakatani The main Gundam seems to be the Gundam Excia.

Oh gods damn it, they're using the name "Setsuna"... Oh well... Somebody run a check on those names, find out what else they've done... Oh, and with a bit of help from Duo, here's what we believe to be "Excia": ![]() Two words... ARM BLADES

Update
Gundam 00 site update The official site updated with an outline & staff section. Nobuto Sue's name is added alongside Kenji Teraoka and Hitoshi Fukuchi to the list of concept designers. Also worth noting is Kunio Okawara is credited third as a mechanic designer, behind Kanetake Ebikawa & Takayuki Yanase. In Sotsu Agency's press release, Okawara wasn't mentioned at all, potentially indicating a reduced role for him compared to his level of participation in other Gundam series. The official site will formally open on July 10. The story outline: "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."

With this group on it, we have very little to worry about. October will be a fun month for me.

It will be Oct. when it comes out. So the school year will be still in its early stages. Truth be told, we dont know how many episodes this will go for either (Hopefully the regular 50). And you can bet plenty of torrents out for each episode at least a day after each one airs. (maybe even in less time)
