 The wraparound jacket of the sixth volume of the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt manga, which will go on sale on October 30, has announced that the series will receive an anime adaptation. Animation studio Sunrise will adapt the work as with previous Gundam titles.The series is drawn by Yasuo Ohtagaki and has been serialized in Big Comic Superior since March 2012. Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt is a side story set in UC 0079 during the war between the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation. In an interview with Comic Soon in 2014, Ohtagaki pointed out that Big Comic Superior is targeted at 30- to 40-year-old salarymen, so he has drawn Thunderbolt with these readers in mind, not specifically Gundam fans. He wanted to use the techniques and style of manga to convey the story, rather than simply adapting the Gundam anime, so as to not drive new readers away. Synopsis Federation troops and Zeon forces carry out a fierce battle in the Thunderbolt Sector in what was once Side 4 "Mua." The Thunderbolt Sector is a shoal zone composed of the debris of destroyed space colonies, named for the electrical discharges from the metal debris. MS pilot Io Flemming is among the Federation soldiers who are dispatched to the area, where Zeon sniper Daryl Lorenz awaits them on the battlefield.

| Totally thought it's Crossbone for a moment there. Still nice though as more Gundam is always good. :) |
| Good for fans I guess |
 |

is targeted at 30- to 40-year-old salarymen lol okay. He probably meant to say "aimed at the ones that grew up with Gundam" I'll check it out since it's a side story and I've been digging those so far. 8th MS and war in the pocket were pretty neat. |
 |
| Good news for mecha fans ) |
| I like the manga so im pretty hyped with this one |
 |
| GUNDAM WILL NEVER DIE |
 |
| Do I need to watch previous Gundam before this ? I wish if sunrise makes spin-off of Code Geass and even Cross Ange instead of these gundam crap that we get every year. |
| I hope this will be a TV adaptation, definitely quite interested in this though. |
|
| Looking forward to it. Hopefully we'll get a "proper" adaptation of F91 and Crossbone in the near future. Keep it coming Sunrise. |
 |
Good news  Another gundam manga get adaptation  Now chance for Hathaway Flash & Frozen Tear Drop to get full anime adaptation become higher  |

| Looks pretty promising. More U.C. Gundam is always welcome. |
 |
| Not the manga adaptation everyone wanted, but maybe it will turn out good. Hopefully it's an OVA. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Can't say I'm too keen on the countless UC sidestories, but Moonlight Mile wasn't too shabby. Should be an entertaining macho drama at the least. |
| Monlight Mile was not bad. Hope, MSGT will also be good. |
| This is saving anime right? No Pluto adaptation by Mappa :( |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| will watch |
 |
| From the few chapters i read i remember not liking it oh well better than nothing and gundam is always something for me i look forward to |

| cuuul cuuul |
| I always loved UC side stories so I'll probably like this one too. It's good to be Gundam fan these days. |
 |
| We haven't seen a UC Gundam with a proper budget since 90s. Just kill yourself, Bandai. |
| we will see atlas gundam here.. so bring it on.... |
----- Lock and Load ----- |
| And the crossbone fans are crying yet again XD Thunderbolt sounds so cool :) |

| Those are some souped up MS there, a watch is in order. |
 |
| My body is ready |
 |
| ok |
| Unexpected but cool, I wonde rif this will be an ova or a TV series But it does seem like since the split between namco bandai pictures and sunrise that they are way more active in making gundam shows. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Anime with a proper budget have enough money to make 2D mechs, not a student level rendering. |

| I haven't said that I didn't watch it. Also there is 3D in these youtubes. |
09122013 said: There is only CGI in the last video for the ship at the very beggining, everything else was entirely 2D, the fact that you think its 3D only proves how good the 2D looks if its accurately simulating 3D to the point where you think its the otherI haven't said that I didn't watch it. Also there is 3D in these youtubes. There is CG in unicorn, but its barely there and probably makes up 5% of the fights tops with only one notable scene where its the forefront of the scene (in episode 5 when bhannager was flying in circles around a ship). Unicorn has probably the 2nd best use of 2D animation in the franchise so calling it lacking in a proper budget is simply laughable. The only show in the series that looked better was stardust memory but that series budget begins to die out as it goes on much like its quality of writing. |

| Motherfucking shield overload. Thunderbolt is Gundam on steroids. Another serious entry. Must be recovering from the silliness of previous shows. More Gundam is always good. Gotta milk that OYW. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
