A website called Gundam Intellegence Agency (GIA) reported that the anime adaptation for GUNDAM THE ORIGIN manga is set to air in 2014.
The project was first announced not long after Gundam AGE's annoucement back in June 2011, but very little info is available since then.
Hayamimi Gunpla Jouhoukyoku also reported about this rumour, and found one additional image from imageboards that has a caption describing that the Gundam series is going back the origin after 35 years since the first series first aired in 1979.
While it's exciting to know that there may be more Gundam anime available after Unicorn OVA, whose 7th and final episode will air sometime in 2014, there are fairly few Japanese sites actually talking about it at the moment. Maybe we should be more cautious about it until we get more info? We shall see. :o
Wow, that's very exciting news.. but 2014 is a long wait (^^;)a
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there is still no official words from Sunrise at the moment... Well, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope it's real!
DeleteLets hope it happens as it is a long way off. I would be excited to see more of the Gundam origins.
ReplyDeleteIt has been more than 2 and a half years since the initial announcement, and there are very little news regarding on this project. It would be nice to have new animation in the near future after the end of Unicorn OVA.
DeleteI hope an anime announcement comes soon, it's about time they released another Gundam TV series (AGE doesn't count).
ReplyDeleteLet's do hope so. AGE is (to put it mildly) a bit far from being the Gundam series that many people had looked forward to. Besides, waiting for a new episode for Unicorn can be quite a painful wait for some ^^;
DeleteThis would be an amazing new anime. Though, I guess I worry a little about it clashing with the classic anime. Maybe a new, proper series would be better suited at the moment? I'm still waiting after 00 (Like someone said, AGE doesnt count)
ReplyDeleteThere are several animes that took place in the same timeframe as that of Mobile Suit Gundam, and had already caused a bit of a clash in terms of settings etc. But something like GUNDAM THE ORIGIN may cause quite a stir and a debate on canonicity, validating some and possibly invalidating others.
DeleteSomething fresh and new would be nice. I did hear someone said that Universal Century past UC0100 is little explored, so it may be a good idea to go back to that.
We want any story of Gundam "Live in Action"..
