It’s Like A Gundam, But Also Like A Unicorn

So it's official: The Mobile Suit Gundam novel series Gundam Unicorn is getting an anime treatment. Initially thought to be a feature film, it now seems that it will be a tv series.

From Wikipedia:

In the June 2009 issue of the Japanese monthly manga magazine, Gundam Ace, it was announced that an anime adaptation for Gundam Unicorn has been green-lit for late 2009. It will be directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi and written by Yasuyuki Muto. Nobuhiko Genba will help design the mecha along with other animators who have worked on previous Gundam series, while Kumiko Takahashi will be doing the character designs.

This is exciting, to me especially, since we are going back to the Universal Century timeline. Yes, it's a bit of a chore because it boils down to "Some faction of Zeon is at it again! It's up to the Earth Federation to stop them! ", but that is what all the great Gundam series have been.

I for one, look forward to this, especially since the previously announced Gundam 0081 series is actually going to be a PS3 game.

Next time, I promise not to report on Gundam!
