On Friday, producer Masakazu Ogawa announced on the official
Twitter account for Mobile Suit Gundam AGE that production on a new project
featuring the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Galette has
"finally" been green-lit. Ogawa did not specify what kind of project
it is, or even if it is anime.
In light of the announcement, designer Michinori Chiba drew
a new sketch on a sheet with Japanese animation registration holes.
Ogawa had mused in September about a possible story focusing
on the characters' days as students. In November 2012, Ogawa and Chiba released
a rough sketch to the official Twitter account that was used to introduce the
characters for a possible new project.
In the AGE anime, Asemu was the main character of the second
generation with Zeheart as his antagonist. The television series premiered in
October of 2011, and it ended on September 23, 2012, shortly before Ogawa
mentioned the tentative plans.
