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:

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
