J-Stop Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-...m-ace-manga-mag New Series Said to Be Revealed in Gundam Ace Manga Mag posted on 2009-02-23 16:40 EST Unnamed series with Hajime Katoki mecha, Tatsuya Suzuki characters A new, as yet unnamed series to mark the 30th anniversary of the Gundam robot franchise will be reportedly announced in the April issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Gundam Ace manga magazine on February 26. The series will feature the RX-78-7 mobile suit — one of the last mecha in the RX-78 line, and a mecha that has appeared in Gundam reference material in the past but not as a main mecha in a series. (The model number of the main mecha of the first Gundam series is RX-78-2.) Veteran designer Hajime Katoki (Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War) designed the new mecha. Tatsuya Suzuki (Gaogaigar, The Legend of Reyon, Aniyome wa Ijippari) designed the new characters. The story will star Hugues Couraud, a 32-year-old officer in command of the Earth Federation's Phantom Sweep Team. The special operations unit is ordered to hunt down the remnants of the losing Zeon forces after the end of the One Year War of the first Gundam series. When he was young, he once had his entire unit wiped out. The other main character from the Phantom Sweep Team is a 24-year-old woman named Sherry Allison. She was a test pilot for prototype units, but she has been assigned to the special operations team to fill its ranks. On the opposing Zeon side is Eric Blanke, a 20-year-old male officer born to a prominent family in the Principality of Zeon. He is leading the counteroffensive unit named Invincible Knights to avenge the Zeons' loss to the Earth Federation. The story is set in 0081 of the Universal Calendar, one year after end of the One Year War. While peace and order are being restored to the world, small-scale battles still crop up here and there due to Zeon remnants continuing to offer resistance. A veteran Earth Federation officer assigned to mopping up the remaining Zeon forces, and a young officer executing a top secret operation to revive the Zeons, cross paths on this new battlefield.

Scarface Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Wing was my first gundam series. With that I can enjoy it, but it really is horrible in comparison to some of the others I've watched. Link to comment

ROCKSTEADY Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I've pretty much seen them all and ('cept for turn a and seed.), Wing and G were the worst in my opinion, G being worse then Wing obviously. Link to comment
Siendra Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh. I forgot to mention like three weeks ago that this is a PS2 game. Yeah. Also, G was only bad if you tried to take it seriously. It was meant to be ridiculous. Link to comment

Crube Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 It's nice to see the main character not be a teenager for once. Link to comment
Siendra Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 It's nice to see the main character not be a teenager for once. Adults: MS iGloo 0083 Stardust Memory G Gundam Young Children: Victory 0080 War in the Pocket. Link to comment
Crube Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Adults: MS iGloo 0083 Stardust Memory G Gundam Young Children: Victory 0080 War in the Pocket. I meant recently. Look at SEED and 00. Link to comment
Siendra Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I meant recently. Look at SEED and 00. Setsuna was an adult in the second season. Both Lockons were 24/28, Alleluha was 21/25, and Tierra should have been something like 80 or 90 years old. Link to comment
Crube Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Setsuna was an adult in the second season. Both Lockons were 24/28, Alleluha was 21/25, and Tierra should have been something like 80 or 90 years old. Ah, I just counted Setsuna as the main character overall... or something. But I get your point. Link to comment
