From Gunota Headlines:
Known details are:
Setting - 2307 AD (”seireki”, Japanese for “anno domini”)
Characters - 4 Gundam Meisters, who pilot the mobile weapons.
Factions - Solestal Beings (not real sure on the English name right now), a private militia group whose purpose is to eradicate wars.
Tagline at the end of the commercial - “Rebirth begins through destruction”
Rumors about the series have been going around Japanese message boards for some time, especially after Sunrise registered several Gundam00 domains. The proclamation that the setting would neither be in the Universal Century of the original nor the Cosmic Era of Gundam SEED, as stated by Sunrise’s Yasuo Miyakawa, seems to have been followed through with. Staff members are yet to be confirmed although the most persistent rumor is that the series will be directed by Fullmetal Alchemist’s Seiji Mizushima.
I’m intrigued by this but I remain skeptical, until I see more. I like the compact designs, and the head design is very cool. I wonder how big these MS are? I like the character designs over any other AU series I’ve seen, but I’ve been disappointed by all the non-UC anime so far. As more media and info comes in I’ll be posting it here.
EDIT:
watch the teaser here:
