Good to know that it's going to be a full series! :D Though it's a bummer that some of the original cast wont be able to reprise their roles.

After 34 years, the original voices would be hard to work with, don't you think? :p

^Most of them reprised their rolls on "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation". But for instance, the voice for Sayla Mass passed away. Bright's original voice actor Hirotaka Suzuoki performed his last voicing role on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: III Love is the Pulse of the Stars.

Also, some development:

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Set for 2014!?

According to Anime News Network: ANN confirmed that the March issue of Gundam Ace magazine does not state that the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin anime will air in 2014. The magazine's August 2011 issue did state that an anime project of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga would be launching.

Earlier this week, an image began circulating online that claimed that the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin TV anime is scheduled to air in 2014. The image is the poster illustration that Yasuhiko created for the 1981 film Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow, except with text added.

Another image began circulating online this week, but its text simply says: "Mobile Suit Gundam, the first TV anime in the Gundam franchise which debuted in 1979 ? Now we will go back to the origin in 2014 when it will be the 35-year anniversary!"

On Friday, producer Masakazu Ogawa announced on the official Twitter account for Mobile Suit Gundam AGE that production on a new project featuring the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Galette has "finally" been green-lit. Ogawa did not specify what kind of project it is, or even if it is anime.

In light of the announcement, designer Michinori Chiba drew a new sketch on a sheet with Japanese animation registration holes.

Ogawa had mused in September about a possible story focusing on the characters' days as students. In November 2012, Ogawa and Chiba released a rough sketch to the official Twitter account that was used to introduce the characters for a possible new project.

In the AGE anime, Asemu was the main character of the second generation with Zeheart as his antagonist. The television series premiered in October of 2011, and it ended on September 23, 2012, shortly before Ogawa mentioned the tentative plans.

^That's pretty stupid to be honest :/ The main story has already ended and now they're going to flesh out part of that story, which isn't even an interesting part? I was hoping that they where going to create some original work again. But this is honestly a stupid idea.

I'm hoping that "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin" will have the same quality as Gundam Unicorn. Music wise, animation wise, voice actor wise, story telling wise, etc.

The first show to ever truly "almost" make me cry was 00. Some of others too (some with mad reasonable opinions). Then there was Unicorn, this show alone is a on another level of holy bad ass.

I made this a personal quote.

"Humanity alone possesses a God. The power to transcend the now, the inner God called "Possibility."

- Gundam Unicorn (Vol. 2)

^What do you mean?

@Mr.XXIV: I believe I've only had that with Zeta Gundam :p

I did have a bit of it in Zeta. :p If one were to not even watch the U.C timeline as a whole, you'd probably get bright slapped for not understanding any puns, haha.

Imagine every single Gundam show was reanimated to HD, I mean Unicorn HD! :D

To be honest, I like Zeta Gundam the way it is, haha. Though it's remastered/new parts of "A New Translation" look damn awesome as well. Different than Unicorn though which is a good thing. The remastered/new parts for "A New Translation" look original and like the the style that was used in Zeta Gundam, though more modern of course. It looked original as well.

A New Translation's animation is just sexy. I'm just a pixel addict! Don't get me wrong, the same voice acting everything should stay. I just think that true color and hires imaging should be made from time to time in at least every decade! :)

Well, I said it was a stupid idea and I still stand by it:

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE - Memory of Eden - Compilation Outlined

Project to compile TV anime with focus on 2nd generation's Asemu & Zeheart

The official website for the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE anime confirmed on Wednesday that production on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Memory of Eden has been green-lit. This project will recompile the television series (from the Asemu arc onward) to focus on the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Galette.

In the AGE anime, Asemu was the main character of the second generation with Zeheart as his antagonist. The television series premiered in October of 2011, and it ended on September 23, 2012. Shortly thereafter, producer Masakazu Ogawa mentioned the tentative plans for a new project featuring these two characters, and he revealed earlier this month that the project had "finally" been green-lit.

Gundam AGE episode director Shinya Watada is helming Memory of Eden at Sunrise with episode writer Noboru Kimura in charge of scripts. Other returning staff members include story supervisor Akihiro Hino, original character designer Takuz? Nagano, character designer Michinori Chiba, and musical composer Kei Yoshikawa. The project will reunite several of the cast members, including Takuya Eguchi as Asemu and Hiroshi Kamiya as Zeheart.

Previous Gundam and Sunrise series have spawned similar "Special Editions" compilations.

I know, I read it before I posted it. My opinion about it though is that it's stupid that they're doing it. It would've been nicer if they green-lit an anime about Frozen Teardrop.

Asemu's Arc was the nicest of the 3, I give you that. But re-compiling out something that has already aired is boring imo and to me has no point.

Though, this kinda makes up for it:

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
