UC NexT 0100, a new project set after Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack and Gundam Unicorn has announced the first of three series in the line-up during the new Gundam series announcement press conference held on Friday. Titled Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative (NT), the movie will screen in Japanese theaters this November. The ticket will be pre-sold during the premiere of final episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin on May 5.
Synopsis
It's the 0097 year of the Universal Century and one year after the opening of the Federation's known threat: Laplace's Box. Despite the revelation of a charter acknowledging Newtype's rights and existence, there were no significant changes that have occurred. The "Laplace Conflict" has appeared to have ended along with the collapse of "The Sleeves," the remnants of a Neo Zeon faction. In the final battle, two full-Psycoframe mobile suits will be showing the power that exceeds human knowledge. Known to be the white unicorn and the black lion, these two suits were sealed away from human consciousness and should have been forgotten. However, RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, a mobile suit that went missing two years ago has made its appearance on Earth once again: the Golden Phenex.

Ehh, a new brand of mecha anime. Gundam Narrative, sounds like they're gonna include a long narrative to help audience understand better. Ah, region locked PV :/

Nor is there overrating, only people who do not know how to qualify fairly, like me.
Yay more late UC, im so sick of the constant one year war wanking, that setting has been explored to death and really limits the creativity possible to add onto this timeline.
I'm pretty hopeful for this one, wish it were more than just a movie so hopefully it wont get f91 syndrome.
RobertBobert said: So, is this a new TV series in the Gundam franchise? Or did I misunderstand something? Just, only recently was announced the second season of 00.
this is a movie and theres rumors that there are actually going to be 3 gundam movies one of which will be an adaption of hathaway's flash, 00's new project is still unknown whether it will be a tv show or a movie though i think people are assuming TV series. But the sequel is confirmed, im not sure why mal never went around to posting an article about it.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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
@JizzyHitler I see.... I watched only three series under the Gundam brand (except for the original, which I watched in my childhood and almost do not remember), so this franchise is like quicksand for me.

The only "official" news about it is the director's tweets about there will be new project (still not clear even if it will be anime yet) and that the announcement will be further ahead (which is just the director hinting there is more, not officially announced). There's not much news and I don't think now is the time to announce it. We will announce when it is officially announced.

Well, while a certain other mecha anime is focusing on waifus than actual mecha, I cannot but feel optimistic about something that will most definitely have a more mature tone to it with all the political stuff which makes a mecha anime... Gundam.
Also, the Gundam designs are SEX for me. The only anime related merchandise I ever collected in my life are Gundams so I am stoked for this.

On a second thought, the gundam is lit. I probably gonna have to finish rewatching seed soon to continue on this one.

I'm more interested in the Hathaway's Flash trilogy. The Gundam Narrative looks meh, but it may end up being like the F90 (speaking of F90, why hasn't that been adapted into anime? I've played the game adaptation Formula Wars 0122 before, but I'm surprised F90 never got at least an animated movie).
Not sure how I feel about this honestly. If they can maintain a similar feel as Gundam Thunderbolt, then I'll be quite pleased. Otherwise, it could be a hit or a miss.
hopefully this means more later UC anime is a possibility, that would be interesting. I'm new to Gundam but I like the variety the franchise has between this, the new 00 anime, and Gundam Build Divers.
Another "parallel" timeline story for the UC adapted ? Interesting.
@QuattroVaginas Thanks, I didn't see it.
So, they will try to force "Hathaway's Flash" into the anime story? ... Thre ought to have some contradictions then, no?
(if at least, it was made by Tomino and "drawn" by Yasuhiko or the original novel illustrator, Mikimoto)

Lmaooooo
I hope this is the definitive end of the Early UC timeline. The mainline portion of it just kept trying and failing to and and unend; it needs to be put to rest and be given a definitive link to F91 already.
Wow I wish I can see the English version for this.

We will see. It's all a matter of execution. Gundam always has this "mature" concept, but the execution is not always up there. Most Gundam series that I have watched end up feel like power fantasy anime more than anything.
As for the mechs design, I agree. I like their designs, most of the time, especially the unique ones(like Gundam Barbatos).
Brobot said: Looks good, great staff too, especially the character designer.
Really? Even the director & screenwriter? I thought they're quite green. I guess I was wrong.

It's his debut as series director, but Yoshizawa has been around for more than 10 years doing episode direction. His most notable work from recent time was the super catchy G-Reco Ending, he directed. The screenwriter is also the author of the Unicorn and Turn A Novel, so it perfectly makes sense to let him write this anime. So yeah, really promising

Hm . . . The staff seems even more worrying now that you have explained their track records. I guess I have to set my expectation even lower. Thank you.
Hi there! Sorry for posting this here but there was no other way of contacting you so apologies for that. I did have a question but I scrapped it because this isn't the proper forum nor was it important. I noticed we have the same favorites in common, thats cool! Also It'd be cool if I woke up in the morning and I recieved a friend request from you. No pressure, I just noticed you like NANA and NANA is my favorite Anime ever! Again, apologies!
