New Gundam series next October!… Apparently.
Fresh from the rumour mill. According to Moon Phase Zakki sources, a new Gundam series will start airing October next year. Many valorous spies paid the ultimate sacrifice to bring us this information.
Quote:
ガンダム新シリーズ、来年10月放送にむけて始動！…らしい。
「天保異聞 妖奇士」の後番、来年の土6は新ガンダム。監督は水島精二氏とのこと。一応、内部リークですが、実際この通り順調に企画が進むかどうかは不明。
Translation:
New Gundam series, starts airing October next year!… Apparently.
Taking over the time slot of Ayakashi Ayashi, a new Gundam series will air during the Saturday 6pm slot next year. The director will be Seiji Mizushima. Although this is, technically, an internal leak, it is not confirmed whether the project is really proceeding as stated.
You can just feel the journalistic confidence oozing out of this little article… On another note, Seiji Mizushima is most well-known as the director of Full Metal Alchemist.
Unlike most people, I still have hopes for the SEED franchise, especially if a new director is being brought in to continue the series. While it is not certain if the new Gundam series will continue the C.E. timeline, or indeed whether it even exists at this moment, I have this to say: BRING STELLAR BACK!!!
P.S. Moon Phase has also confirmed, with information from Comiket 70, that the third Nanoha series will be a full-fledged TV series and not OVAs. I don’t care for Nanoha, but it’s on the same page as this news so might as well….

Ya I found Gundam SEED and Gundam WING to be very simillar. Personally I like Gundam SEED better, mostly because the characters are a little more realistic and there’s no Relena. Relena and Heero were kinda… odd together ad the ending sucked in Gundam Wing. The movie, Endless Waltz wasn’t overly exciting ether. Gundam SEED however, the ending was… better… I mean heck, if you think about it, why do people like Gundam SEED and not WING, or the other way around. They’re clones of eachother.
GSD was an annoyance too. It was ALOT like the prequel, Gundam SEED, new gundams, they get stolen, I mean come on, it wasn’t that great. Although, the whole quote from Dearka in ep 36 or somthing was great. “One of these days your head will explode, Ya know.” That was great….
I’m not old enough to have watched any other Gundam serises… so I’m sure you guys know more that I do about this kinda stuff. XD
What’s the new serises called anyways? Is it a clone of GS or GW?! o.o That would suck… -_-”

Yo, you guys talking about the bad sides of WING and SEED, let me get into this.
1st off : Gundam Wing seems unrealistic, true, but at least it’s got a good politics-story. I personaly love the way this series is, as a whole. I hate Trowa, Wu-Fei, Quatre, and almost hate Duo. But I like to see Heero on the action, he’s really cold-hearted. Somebody said he thinks he’s the best, I doubt that can be said.
Also I like the way this series views the usage of A.I. with the Dolls, Epyon and Zero system. Even though it’s kinda weird.
2nd off : Gundam SEED seems good, it’s a BIT more realistic, but sometimes a little boring. Got a “good” politics-story too, but not as close as the Wing one. I also like the way it’s not MAIN CENTRED on Kira, Athrun plays this part too. The graphics are really good too.
3rd off : Gundam SEED Destiny. The little baby around. For the first 20 episodes I was almost sleeping, they WERE BORING. But things started to heat up and I ended up liking the serie. Kinda weird to change main character, but this may lead us to a new style of stories. I think it was a good one, at least experimental.
What I didn’t like was the way Athrun was such a noob for the whole series, he wasn’t playing the GUNDAM pilot after all, just some peacemaker with a machine.
Graphics were even better than SEED’s, dno why, I liked’em better. Maybe codec quality but w.e.
For me:
Wing > SEED > SEED Destiny
I wish there was a MEGAMAN X anime series :(

There’s a Megaman anime series somewhere. But in another name.

After reading every post on this site I have come to the conclusion that the majority of gundam fans were disapointed with the SEED DESTINY series. I can agree only in respect to the terrible ending the GUNDAM SEED DESTINY series was left with. For the most part I enjoyed this series much more than GUNDAM SEED, mostly because I enjoy the relations contained within the series. My favorite relationship is the Cagali-Athrun duo and I believe a new series must be made to repair their relationship because they left it completely unfinished betwen the two.Also the fact that at the end Cagali removed Athrun’s engagment ring and asked Meyrin to look after him, WTF. Anyway as I mentioned before I agree that the creators of the DESTINY series “should be forbidden” to ever work in the Gundam francize again because of the ending they left it with, and if a new series is coming out there are a few rules that the creators should follow:
1- No main characters must die (this includes KIRA, LACUS, ATHRUN, CAGALI, Meyrin, Shinn, Lunamaria, MWU, CAPTAIN RAMIUS, Yzak, Dearaka,and Mirilella-the girl who was kind of involved with Dearaka and also the girl friend of toille before he was killed by Athrun in GUNDAM SEED.)
2- Cagali and Arthrun must live happily ever after, TOGETHER.( a sugestion would be to have Athrun make the FIRST move and ask Cagali to put the engagment ring back on then have Meyrin meet Yzak to clear up that little love triangle)
3- New villians must be introduced, no more recycling old ones.(Ex. BLUE COSMOS MUST REMAIN DEAD and I think that the new enemy should be one where ZAFT and the Earth alliance must team up to defeat.)
4- More equalization in the battle scenes to the relationship scenes. There must be more LOVE.( overall DESTINY was better in this aspect, but it failed miserably in the significance of these scenes.)
5- No more crazy characters, Ex. in GUNDAM SEED there was Fllay(who I was HAPPY to see die) and Stellar in DESTINY( but honestly I really did cry when she died because I could not believe the pain Shinn went through in the scene where he put Stellar in the lake after she died. I AM SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I CRIED, AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ADMIT THAT IT IS QUITE PATHETIC FOR A 6 FOOT 4, 220 POUND 18 YEAR OLD MAN TO CRY WATCHING A CARTOON. And last but not least Meer from DESTINY( personally I glad she was shot)
6- More interesting twists in the very predicable plot. Just for the record I very accuratly perdicted what happened in each episode before it happen. The only mistake was in the last episode, but I don’t think any one was expecting then to leave it that wide open. The fact that they had to make a 51st episode is quite pathetic and on top of that it did not improve anything for the series. They created another 48-minute episode and only added maybe 10-minutes of most of the main charaters meeting at a battle memorial, HELLO WHERE IS CAGALI.
If the creators wouold just follow these rules a new Gundam Seed series would be a huge sucess, and they could even make up for that ending in DESTINY. But I must again say that I cannot understand why you people would not want another series, IT IS MANDATORY.

hmm.. rulez no 3 ……there…
In THis comming episode… Lacus will lead the zaft… how come they can be villiant…?
so If you watch… GUDAM seed Stargazer… you know who the villiant later…
The one who drop Junius 7 on seed destiny…. the Zala faction
And The survivor of the Earth alliance … so… The villiant most imposible Zaft

I was not dissapointed with the story lines in Gundam Seed and Destiny… I thought it showed great meaning in the story. I really loved how in Seed they had Kira fight his old friend… and in Destiny how everyone was put back into war. That quote that Shinn states really gets to me… “No matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, people will blow them away once again…” and then in episode 51 Kira answers saying, “No matter how many times they are blown away, we will replant them once again.” Although some episodes in destiny were quite boring. I am also not satisfied with those crazy characters… they cause way too much commotion… their role is good but their personalities suck. As for the people who think that it is unrealistic… i must say that a lot of it is in fact realistic… First of all, it takes place in the future… so scientist have A LOT of time to come up with new ways to destroy society with war… Also, the reason Gundams can destroy many units easily is because they are Coordinators… they genetically engineered to enhance human potential… and with the discover of transgenetics or what ever its called… i think that this is very possible in the future… we will eventually find a way to have a baby with specific features and genes. I personally wouldn’t mind another Seed episode… though they should really fix up the relationships… Athrun and Cagalli, Kira and Lacus, and Shinn and Luna… they kind of just left it unfinished… and if not for episode 51, i wouldve been very disappointed with the ending because they completely left it blank… at least in episode 51 they all finally found the reason that they all fight… leaving that question answered.

as to reply to what the guy with the longa$$ name said i didnt feel sorry when stellar died she was a really messed up character even when u compare them to the druggies from Seed and destiny and what i found very funny and unbelievable was that her body was in one piece after that big MS or MA was destroyed
anyways i found the Destiny battle scenes lacking many recycles way too much
and of course the ending was lacking however it gave me the sense that “theres no way this is the end of seed for better or for worse there will be another one”
and i also dont get y kira was wearing a zaft commanders uniform can someone explain?
i also feel sorry Andrew in the end he the only one alone
another thing u can see kiras mom in the beginning at least i think that was her where his dad i think they showed both in Seed if hes out of the pic then maybe she and andrew hook up? just a stupid though but who knows :)
April 24th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
kira wearing zaft uniform because… lacus….
Lacus is the chairman for zaft now…
and Kira love lacus +lacus love kira…
thats why… hahahaha
April 27th, 2007 at 11:32 pm
They should bring back the original Gundam series
April 29th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
About Kira wearing a ZAFT uniform at the Special Edition, I believe he just wanted to join Lacus as she returned to PLANTs.
But I feel, a movie will come up soon on Gundam SEED to end it all. Some queries, I hope, will be answered then:
- Is Lacus the Chairman of ZAFT? (unknown, though many said she is)
- Who will Athrun end up with? Cagalli or Meyrin (latter unknown if she’ll return in the movie)
- Is Stellar coming back in person? (rumoured that she’ll be in flashback events instead)
- Where is the deceased Talia Gladys’ son? (certainly NOT Rey at all)
It would be excellent if Gundam SEED Movie turns 3D. Or perhaps the new Gundam series in October.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
does anyone know with this gundam seed movie is coming out? They definately have to have some sort of continuation cause there are many questions to be answered… theyre just basically saying there’s going to be some sort of continuation…
May 1st, 2007 at 8:14 am
To answer your question, djdjdjd, there is a rumoured short trailer stated in Wikipedia.org that exist to tell about this continuation. But no one I’ve inquired knows of its existence online.
May 1st, 2007 at 10:25 am
hmmmm….. october hu? many fanatic will crave 2 c a sneek pick of this new series of the gundam saga……. hehehehehehehe gundam rock!!!!!
May 1st, 2007 at 11:16 am
true nd if thee is a movie i could care less if any one doesnot like what i am going to say. There need o be a gundam sriers that pushes the boundries of eisodes….
If this movie come out there is a chance it will be re-cap material. and if its nt i am happy.
enen afte the movie i am expectig there to be a new seriesafter it want to know why?
A movie is 2.5 hrs long. right?
Well after that a 3rd series be released. Whether it is the end or the end be all of the CE Era for now. I do not care as long as it’s made. Then One final movie to end it all.
Now why would i want a new season, it is freaking impossible not to make it. so much not answered.
Then do not forget. ff series never name series sequals but after ff the way it ended in ffX i knew there was going to be a new one and there was.
Now that all there is to it.
A movie for seed universe is not eough for me. I need a series that will last longer than 2.5 hrs. the series of course which can be new will last for a year and a half depending on the size of it and since its te thid id maake it longer than 50 episodes. it can span 1-3 years for all i care and at the same time a new gundam series or the others can still be in the works period. then the new gundam seed movie after the series and more to come if warranted.
the point is i see 1 more season of GS and 2+ movies. do not like it, my opinon.
May 8th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Still up to this point in time, I still haven’t found any solid facts about the new series or the movie. If they’re gonna be showing a movie to end all of CE up, then I hope it wouldn’t be like CCA where in the end Amuro died in saving the planent. I’m expecting a happy ending similar to Gundam X where they all lived peacefully after the war.
FACTS:
- Lacus is now the new chairwoman of ZAFT.
- Kira did join ZAFT and is now a white coat, similar to Yzak. His rank is higher than Shin, Luna, and Dearka.
- most elements of SEED are far closer to reality than any other gundam series out there (some examples: Coordinators and PS Armor[try Wiki for this one])
- G’s MF control system (the motion control system to operate the MS) is closer to reality compared to any other MS control system in other gundam series
- V2 doesn’t have the power to accelerate it near to the speed of light, in fact it’s slower than an F-14 (Don’t believe me? Use physics and calculate the amount of force required to accelerate an object as heavy as V2 to light speed and compare it to it’s given specifications)
- There are no gundam series to date that confirms extraterrestrial life exist except for SEED.
- No gundam series has ever have encounters with extraterrestrial beings invading the planet.
