New Gundam series this October confirmed!
Gundam 00 was announced with a short promo that aired at the end of a recent episode of Towards the Terra. Set in 2307 AD, the story revolves around four Gundam pilots who look damn gay and some silly organization that wants to end all wars for good, possibly by fighting one. How many times have we heard that one before?
The promo on the official site is distributed via Bandai Channel, which means those of us who are not in Japan cannot access it. Therefore I have embedded the YouTube version above.
Where are the pretty girls? :(

i actually got tempted… gives me the gundam wing feel… but i dun think there’d be another pink haired princess this time =/

It looks good, and has similar features to Gundam Wing!
There better not be another pink princess running around trying to be a peacekeeper!
Yay! Second Post!
Where is DarkDestiny?
I’ve been waiting for a trailer!
Those who uploaded it I say Thanks!

Actually, it does look pretty good. I like the chara designs. Thankfully there’s no Lacus. Lacus is one ugly pig.

It’s looking good. I like the character designs especially.

who knows, another surprise: character design: CLAMP….
>.>

Actually the character designs are by Yun Kouga, the mangaka of Loveless… While I think she draws really well, I can’t help but wonder if this says anything about the kind of…relationships we will see in the series.

Lol, same old rehash of the same old idea. Well, i like battleship with lots of missile, so its balance out, i guess.

Well, here I am. Looks like my intuition is right.
And in any case, whoever posted this was a bit wrong. There’s a site where everyone can get to download the trailer, and that is the Gunota Headlines.
And who says Lacus is a pig? More like the princess of the SEED series. Can’t help to have pink hair, can she?

For some reason, the last guy(?) just reminded me of Shinn…Right now the only thing I’m curious about is whether the first episode is gonna be another rehashed sequence–or will we see something different?

If anything, I’m hoping that Sunrise cuts its 50 episode gig and settle for a 26 episode format so that each episode’s production costs would rise and maybe all the battles won’t look all the freakin same because the keep reusing the same freakin screens designed to be reused. It’s like watching an traditional RPG “battle”.
Another thing that I’m hoping for is that the Gundams won’t be completely one-sided and maybe cut down on the cannon-fodder.
As for the Gundam designs, I was actually hoping for those Unicorn Gundam things that have been floating around on the internet.

Thinking about it, there’ll probably be extreme yaoi undertones, a la Heero x Duo x Troa threesome, trying somewhat to appeal to yaoi fan girls, but nothing outright since the majority of Gundam fans are guys after all…

Poor Bandai.

Unicorn Gundam was for a novel series. That was designed by Katoki, though.

This is at least the second series that emphasize on “eradicating wars”, the other being Gundam SEED. Not sure about others though.
Just found a translation of the last phrase shown in the teaser:
[i]Rebirth begins through destruction[/i]
What does that mean?

>>>What does that mean?
It means Sunrise likes to take ideas from itself. See Lulu, Code Geass.
