 The Dai 2-kai Gundam Conference livestream event revealed two new anime and a compilation series in the Gundam franchise this Wednesday. Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury), the first new Gundam television anime in seven years, will begin airing in 2022. This marks the first television anime in the franchise since Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, which aired in two 25-episode seasons in Fall 2015 and Fall 2016. Animation director and character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin) is helming the Kidou Senshi Gundam: Cucuruz Doan no Shima (Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island) anime film. Based on the 15th episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, the film is set to premiere in theatres in 2022. A nine-part compilation television special of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans will air in Spring 2022. The compilation will include a preview of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Urðr Hunt spin-off anime, coinciding with the release of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans G smartphone game. The Urðr Hunt spin-off anime was originally announced in 2019. Director Tatsuyuki Nagai (Sora no Aosa wo Shiru Hito yo) is returning to helm the spin-off, alongside character designer Michinori Chiba (SK∞). Hajime Kamoshida (Just Because!) is handling series composition, and Masaru Yokoyama (Horimiya) is composing the music.

| Yay! A new AU gundam! I hope it's unique with attractive designs and an engaging plot. |

| More anime comes out, the less I’m interested in starting it… |

| The Witch from Mercury might be good, but I need to see the MS design, I don't want to see G-Reco kiddy designs. I'm curious about the protagonist though, it could either be the main protagonist is a girl (most likely, since The Witch from Mercury sounds like an ace pilot nickname/title) or be a main character the anime revolves around, but not the main protagonist. |
 |
| Good to hear that! |
My Candies:    |
| "The Witch from Mercury" Well, that's a badass non UC sounding title. Weird concept for a film tbqh but I trust YAS, he has always delivered as a director. So, that Old Norse thing wasn't vaporware after all. I'm not the biggest fan of IBO but I don't hate it either. Might be cool. I wish I could say more but there's not much info unfortunately. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| that episode with cucuruz doan was decent but why make a movie out of it? there were many other cool stuff in the 0079 gundam that would have looked great as a movie |
    |
| ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME TOMINO/SUNRISE...Holy fuck I'm a huge fan of GBF and GBFT but after those two they've been milking these Gunpla anime for too damn long and as a diehard Gundam fan, lord knows I've been starving for new AU timeline series that aren't just set in the UC timeline But be that as it may, I will definitely be checking out the new movie and even though I wasn't a fan of how things ended in IBO, I'm still pretty excited to see what they do for the sequel But in all Gundam fans are eating pretty good....Apart from the Seed continuation, the only thing I was hoping to hear more about from was the state of the Gundam 00 sequel thing (Which I'm also starving for lol) |

There's no need to watch any sequels, as most of them follow different characters.

| その目だれの目？ |
| I cannot believe that shitty island episode is getting an entire movie around it, even in a better version of it there really isnt much to get out of it. At least we finally have a new AU, and god I hope the next one after it wont take as long as this did, IBO feels like a lifetime ago now. |

| Gundam properties tend to be a hit or miss for me but a good original mecha is always welcome. Although I really hope they do something other than the classic "Small group of special fighters fight against an evil government/corporation". They've done it to death and there's nothing more that Gundam can try to say about it that it hasn't already said. |
| This is what i fear code geass gonna be sound like 10 years down the line with the plans they reveal ugh why |
| Has it already been 7 years since the premiere of Gundam TV last? Whoa. Also, the title implies that the new MC might be a girl. How big are the chances of this? |
 |
| More Gundam? Nice ig. |
 |
| Gundam? Witch? Haman? Hmmmm... really though, exciting news. Not sure about that Cucuruz Doan movie, however. Can't wait for that non-UC tv series and IBO spin off. |
on 
| Yo the Doan movie is gonna be sick |
| guess there are quite a few large whales in the game to enable a new gundam series. if it's hyped then I might watch this. I love communication song in gundam wing even though I skipped the anime. |

Plus, there are only 2 Gundam series that I remember that has it's main Gundam named G-something. G-Reco and god forbid, G-Savior. |
