Mobile Suit Gundam 00

The new Gundam anime series has been confirmed, and its called Mobile Suit Gundam 00. What does the "00" means is still a mistery, maybe its the name of the main Gundam, imagine, "...Gundam 00 taking off..." What has been confirmed is that the first episode will be airing in October of this year which is a relief since we needed a new series badly. Another thing that has been confirmed is that this series will not be in neither the Universal Century or Cosmic Era (SEED) universes.

The teaser trailer has shown that the animation looks pretty nice and the character designs don't have the look of the SEED characters. Another thing that I noticed is that Gundams that you barely get to see in the trailer don't have any wings, if its set in space who needs any wings. The one thing that excites me the most is that its rumored that its being directed by Seiji Mizushima who was the director of Fullmetal Alchemist. With this director in hand hopefully Gundam 00 can dethrone Mobile Suit Gundam and Zeta Gundam from their positions as the best Gundam series. Check out the teaser trailer below.
