mmmmh , delicious Copy-pasta ~

“Title: Unknown
Mechanic Design: Katoki Hajime
Character Design: Suzuki Tatsuya

Mobile Suit: Phantom Gundam Unit No.7”

The Story :

“The time is Universal Century 0081. One year has passed since the war. Although the world was regaining order, small-scale battles continued in various places by the Zeon remnants who still continued to resist. During the situation, a veteran soldier of the Earth Federation Forces is appointed to a cleanup operation of the Zeon remnant forces. Feelings mix on the battlefield as the young Zeon officers advance their secret strategy for the revival of Zeon…”

It appears to be Gundam is RX-78-7 which design seems to be a Ver.Ka of the original RX-78-7

about the characters :

“

EARTH FEDERATION PHANTOM SWEEP TEAM :
Hughes Curro: Male. Age 32. A veteran officer who leads the Phantom Sweep special forces unit charged with hunting for Zeon remnants. He has a bitter experience in which his unit was annihilated in the past.
Sherry Allison: Female. Age 24. She was serving as a test pilot but was assigned to the special forces unit as a replacement.

ZEON FORCES INVINCIBLE KNIGHTS :
Erik Blanque (Blank): Male. Age 20. A young officer whose family is a distinguished family in the Principality of Zeon. He takes command of the “Invincible Knights” in order to execute a counterattack operation against the Earth Federation Forces.   ”

and this is pretty much all the info so far , we don’t know whether it’s going to be a movie , ova or full series. Some speculate it might be a OVA which would probably make more sense . In any case , my Universal Century fanboy mode is already on ~ ! Minovsky particles F*ck yeah !

EDIT : And thus , This is not a series nor a OVA but a Playstation 3 game.

Scans from MAL

Original Sources : Myanimelist | Gundam news | /m/ |

The TMS Entertainment website ( image from there ) has indicated that the new series of Saint Seiya OVA will have 13 episodes of 30min.

It seems this might get more development then I originally thought when I saw the scan of Tenma in his god cloth.

anyway , here is the summary they provide :

When the painting overtakes the sky, the world will come to an end.
A Holy War, from ancient mythology, where the Goddess Athena and Hades have fought against each other while defending the earth repeatedly over the span of 200 years. The story takes place in 18th century Europe, 243 years prior to the original “Saint Seiya.” Three small children, Tenma, Alone, and Sasha have all shared a very happy childhood together. Tenma who is quite aggressive but upstanding has moved to Sanctuary to become a saint. It is there that he is reunited with Sasha who is the sister of Alone and leans that she is the reincarnation of Goddess Athena. Alone who is kind, gentle and loves painting was chosen for the body of enemy King Hades. Tenma eventually becomes a saint of Pegasus and engages in a fierce battle with his best friend Alone, the King of Hades. Pegasus Tenma, King Hades, and the Goddess Athena and through the twist of their 3 fates merge together which unfolds a prologue to the original “Saint Seiya.

I have to say that I’m slightly bothered by the “prologue to the original “Saint Seiya”” part  , but as I mentioned elsewhere , It hasn’t really been précised witch of Lost Canvas and Next Dimension is canon. But then again both could be linked together , somehow , making both canon. We can only speculate at that point , and see how it turns out.

props to -Kh- for mentioning that bit of news.

This may or may not be a good news . I  can’t say I liked the first series at all , but if this one is going to (maybe?) follow the manga  this time , then I shall love it .  Good news is the animation studio is the same , despite not having liked the first series , I have to say it had a pretty neat animation.

We shall wait and see ( for more info on the subject) ~

Posters on 2ch point out that Houko Kuwashima’s diary on SEED Club’s cellphone site says Stellar appears in the SEED movie. It’s not clarified in what capacity the character appears though at this early stage, speculation favors a memory scene.

So i guess that , either means we go back to Shin’s angtsy mode , either when they mass produced the destroy , so they did with Stellar

- A bleach movie is comming this winter to nipponeese big screen .
So i guess we’ll have to wait till march 2007 for DVD realese and eventually a fansub .

- Blood + episode list has been updated . watch out , spoilers ahead :

# 35) Tomorrow without Hope (希望のない明日) – The Sifs are forced into a hard fight with Chevalier James and a masked man. Loulou seeks help from Saya.
# 36) Mismatched Feelings (すれちがう想い) – Diva is preparing for her performance at the Royal Opera House. There, the Chevaliers are setting up a trap for Saya and Hagi. David infiltrates Cinq Flèches research facilities and finds Julia there.
# 37) Until Going Crazy (狂おしいまでに) – Kai invites Saya to a party at Gray’s House. At the same time, Carl leads the Corpse Corp without Anshel’s permission for a showdown with Saya.

- Naruto’s upcomming episode list is :

188. 不可解 狙われた行商人
Fukakai, Nerawareta Gyoushoujin
189. 地下水 無尽蔵の忍具
Chikasui, Mujinzou no Ningu

Byakugan wa Mita! Jiki Dukai no Shikaku

191. 死の宣告 “くもり時々晴れ”
Shino Yokoku “Kumori Tokidoki Hare”

Some said..that the fillers would end at episode 198 but..when you look at episode 191 , you can see ”Shino” and i don’t need to speak or read japaneese to know who Shino is , and that an episode with his name for titles means : FILLERS

- the bleach upcomming episodes titles are :

83. Grey Shadow, the Secret of the Doll
Haiiro no kage, DOORU no himitsu 「灰色の影、ドールの秘密」

84. Breaking Up of the Substitute Team? The Betrayal of Rukia
Daikou CHIIMU bunretsu? Uragitta Rukia 「代行チーム分裂？裏切ったルキア」

i just can’t wait to see ”rukia’s betrayal ”

that’s all for now folks .

but do not worry you die hard gundam fans , there is a ligh of hope for a new gundam serie to celebrate the 30 years of gundam .

- well concerning bleach , there are to be new opening and ending starting episode at episode 77

4th OP: 「Tonight, Tonight, Tonight」 by Beat Crusaders
7th ED: 「Hanabi」 by Ikimono-gakari

77.Vanishing Grudge! The Shinigami whom Kenpachi Killed (2006-04-11)

now..what does this mean …hon’touni wakaranai !
with a new opening and ending , it can suppose 2 thing :
1) the fillers end and the Hueco mundo arc start .
2) it does just like Naruto and we get a year of fillers .

the thing is that the hueco mundo arc really ins’t far and by ep 77 name , i really start to doubt that the filler are gonna end

- concerning Naruto , there are to be new opening and engding starting at episode 179

8th OP: 「GO!! AHEAD!!」 by Triple Pop Bubble Gum

as for the upcoming episode list :

180. Secret Technique, Compensation of Kujaku Myouhou (2006-04-12 )
181. Hoshikage, The Buried Truth (2006-04-19m )

As well..what does this mean ? i do not know more then for bleach . I heard alot of rumor that the kakashi Gaiden was to start pretty soon , but..the opening chage at ep 179 , and the titles doesnt seem to be related in any way to Kakashi’s gaiden . So i am not going to expet the end of the filler year ..until…we actually see more then Sasuke’s shadow in the manga

- as for Blood+ , it’s no secret for anyone now that there is going to be new opening and ending
