GUNDAM 35TH ANNIVERSARY 2014 - 2015 [Info Updated 7/3/13]
Bandai President and "Chief Gundam Officer"
Kazunori Ueno confirmed on Monday that his company will celebrate the 35th
anniversary of the Gundam anime and plastic model franchise with two more
projects, in addition to the Gundam Build Fighters television series and the
final volume of the Mobile Suit Gundam UC anime.
The "anticipated" latest work from Gundam creator
Yoshiyuki Tomino and the anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit
Gundam: The Origin manga will both be unveiled "sometime between 2014 and
2015."
Ueno presented an image for Tomino's latest work similar to
those for "G-Reko," the codename for the previously announced robot
project from Tomino. Kadokawa Shoten's Gundam Ace reported last August that
this project would be "entering full-fledged production."
Gundam Ace's August 2011 issue had announced that an anime
project of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga would be
launching.
The other two major projects marking Gundam's 35th
anniversary, Gundam Build Fighters and Mobile Suit Gundam UC's final volume,
are slated for this October and next spring, respectively.
Gundam Build Fighters (Oct. 2013)
Gundam UC Episode 7 'Over the Rainbow' (Spring 2014)
Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN Anime Release (Likely to be released sometime in 2014 - 2015)
Yoshiyuki Tomino's Anime Release 'G Reko' (Likely to be released sometime in 2014 - 2015)
