Mobile Suit Gundam

The new PV is here. This is part of the World Expo happening in Osaka this year. Check out the ANN article for additional information. From that article:

The video will be part of a story that users will be immersed into when visiting the Gundam Next Future Pavilion area. The story puts visitors in Maishima in the year 2150. Guided by Haro units, the visitors board a space elevator and begin a 36,000 kilometer journey into the giant space station Star Jaburo, which maintains a geostationary orbit above Earth. There, they observe mobile suits at work to prepare for even deeper expeditions into space, as well as conduct cleanup of space debris.

Today in history: February 22nd, C.E.70

With the destruction of Junius Seven, the First Alliance-PLANT War officially started as the skirmishes in Lagrange Point 5 turned into full-scale war across Earth Sphere. ZAFT demonstrated remarkable force projection capability as they began to undertake offensive actions against the Earth Alliance far away from the PLANT homeland. The first target of ZAFT’s new strategy was the space station Yggdrasil, located in Lagrange Point 1 near Luna, and served as the bridgehead for Luna’s Alliance forces.

On the 22nd, the advancing ZAFT expeditionary force finally engaged Alliance’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Fleets that were defending the station, and ZAFT deploy the N-Jammers for the first time in combat. The resulting battle between the two sides was fierce, and after intense fighting, the station was destroyed in the crossfire. Eventually, its ruins become part of the debris belt.

With the destruction of the space station, The Earth Alliance lost a vital bridgehead in space and suffered heavy casualties as the 1st and 2nd fleet were annihilated, with only the 3rd showed up later in Luna engagements. However, it was a pyrrhic victory for ZAFT, as they also suffered heavy losses.

During the battle, Rau Le Creuset managed to destroy 37 Moebius mobile armors and 6 warships.

February 14th, CE70. Three days after Earth Alliance declared war on PLANT, an Alliance fleet entered Lagrange point 5 space to confront PLANT in February 14th with the aim to subdue the upstart coordinators.

However, the battle did not went in the favour of the Alliance as the attacking fleet suffered heavy losses. Facing with defeat and failing their strategic goal, Admiral William Sutherland onboard Alliance carrier Roosevelt ordered the Peacemaker Nuclear Task Force to launch, targeting the illegal agricultural colonies of PLANT. Intending to complete their mission of sabotaging PLANTs food production capability no matter what. A nuclear missile struck the illegal agricultural colony Junius Seven, shattering the colony to million pieces ina blinding flash, and took the lives of 243 721 people. This act turned the on-and-off skirmishes between ZAFT and Alliance into an all-out war.

Hey everyone!

Just finished 08th MS Team… holy shit I loved it! Especially the last 3 episodes, I was weeping at the end.

I spotted these GM’s and loved the colors, I assumed they were 03rd MS team based on the decals, but my searching is coming up with Red Giant 03rd MS Team and obviously there are so many GM’s out there!

Is there a specific name for this GM or other examples of the same colors? I want to customize a HG GM to look similar, but the show cuts to them pretty quickly and wonder if any other images exist.

Thanks as always!

I'm trying to find a version of this show on the internet that has the opening and ending in tact, but why does there seem to be a lot of versions of this show online that are completely missing the opening that's featured on the bluray.

For the first few episodes, I was thinking this was a stylistic decision of the original show, but by episode 5 I became very confused by why it's like this and who would think to do this.

What gives here? Did a fan manually remove the opening when they did the subtitles? Are these tips from the GundamInfo free offers? It's a complete mystery to me.

Hhhhmmmmmmm, I don’t know how I feel about this. The writer director hasn’t done much and I feel like Legendary has had some hits and misses. You’ve got Dune and then you’ve got Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire 😬 do we really need US made live action Gundam?

I’m 8 episodes away from finishing MSG79, it’s taken me far too long (probably a few years of intermittent watching).

What would you recommend I check out next?

I know 08th MS team is highly recommended. I loved Witch from Mercury, admittedly I watched most of it on my honeymoon traveling Japan, so I might be biased. Also open to non-Gundam Mecha suggestions, I started The 86 and enjoyed the premise.

From the article:

Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash Part 2 (tentative title) movie is officially in production, as confirmed during Shochiku’s 130th Anniversary Lineup Announcement Event held on January 23, 2025, in Tokyo...no specific release date has been announced

Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash is planned to be a movie trilogy based on the novel series by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of the Gundam franchise. The novels were originally published between 1989 and 1990, and are set in the Universal Century timeline, serving as a sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack.

Synopsis of the first movie from AniList:

The year is U.C. 0105. Twelve years have passed since the end of the second Neo Zeon War (Char’s Rebellion). Even after “the Axis Shock,” which seemed to indicate the future of humanity and the Universal Century, the world is still in a chaotic situation where intermittent military conflicts continue to break out. The Earth Federation government is more corrupt than ever, and its leadership has not only accelerated Earth's pollution, but also implemented an inhuman "Man Hunting" policy in which civilians are forcibly exiled to outer space.

The anti-Federation government organization “Mafty,” led by someone called “Mafty Navue Erin," has taken a stand against the corruption of the Earth Sphere. Mafty carries out fierce acts of terrorism, assassinating high officials of the Federation government one after another, but it gains a certain level of support from the populace who are growing more opposed to the Federation government.

The person who calls himself “Mafty” and leads this organization is Hathaway Noa, the son of Bright Noa, an officer of the Earth Federation Forces who once participated in the One Year War. Hathaway himself joined the forces trying to stop Char’s Rebellion. With firsthand knowledge of the ideals and ideologies of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, he has become a warrior following in their footsteps, and plans to clear a path forward through armed resistance. His destiny, however, is drastically altered as he encounters the Federation Forces officer Kenneth Sleg and a mysterious young beauty named Gigi Andalucia.

The song is performed by Kenshi Yonezu, who is probably best known in recent times for doing "Kick Back" from Chainsaw Man and "Spinning Globe" from The Boy and the Heron.

I checked my music streaming service of choice and it is showing up now. So, have at it.
