It has been confirmed before, that there will be a new Gundam anime project that will be revealed this June 13th at a live event. Prior to the announcement, new information had been leaked revealing the new series will be called GUNDAM AGE and will air in the Fall. The leaked information indicate there will be video games, trading cards, figures and model kits, and manga for the new project.
The primary Gundam for the series is called Gundam AGE-1 which has three “forms”. The Gundam AGE-1 mobile suit equipped with the AGE System, or a self-adapting computer, will be the main unit this season developed by Furitto Asuno. Other main characters include Asemu Asuno, Furitto’s child and Kio Asuno, Furitto’s descendant who inherits the Gundam. The Gundam AGE-1 can be augmented as the Gundam AGE-1 Titus for more power, or as the Gundam AGE-1 Sparrow for more speed.
The new series will have three generations of “father, child, and descendant” as the lead characters. The main characters pilot the Gundam unit to fight against an unknown attacking enemy (UE) and save Earth in a “One Hundred Year War” — an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series.
The announcement would be made through the July issue of Shogakukan’s Corocoro Comic magazine. Akihiro Hino of game developer Level-5, creators of the Inzuma Eleven and Professor Layton series, is in charge of the story.
