    Has it been getting better? I stopped keeping up after, like, episode 4. I just wasn't really feeling it. Gonna watch it regardless, but just isn't a priority at the moment.

    It's slowly progressing to getting interesting. 2nd arc seems like it's going to get the ball rolling with the story.

    Being serious by the way, since I know there's a lot of hate for it.
    HD Remaster is still airing in Japan, and will be for a good while. The street date for the three Blu-Ray sets in Japan is March 23, June 22, and September 21. However, that's with the Japanese pricing model. So, what I mean to say is: retardedly expensive and probably impractical to import (unless you really need the minor revisions). It's sub-only, unless the old audio can be meshed with the new release (and if it is even financially worth doing, etc.). The question becomes how exactly the HD remastered version is treated in terms of licensing; if it falls within the old one held by BEI, it might be substantially more likely to happen. Of course, this is assuming they still even have the license.

    That said, I suppose SEED might be on the menu of Gundam series any one of BEI's North American license suitors might consider as a "safe" first release run with Gundam since it has its fairly sizable fanbase.

    Spoiler: show
    Count me out though. Still, if it does well enough to make Turn-A and ZZ happen.. I guess SEED might be finally worth a fuck to me personally. Given how poorly AGE is fairing in ratings, this entire SEED HD remaster thing (including the SEED MG kit spam beginning in January and running through June) smells of cash grab to offset that hit (assuming the AGE models/toys don't make up for it).

    So, I'm gonna start buying all of the UC series. Does anyone know if any of them are getting blu-ray releases? I would hate to buy the DVD version just to have an HD version come out soon after.

    Also, thanks for the info above.

    Unicorn and 00 are the only series released in North America on Blu-Ray in any capacity. Unicorn being consistantly with each installment, but as well on DVD (dual-episode disc for each second release (1-2, 3-4, etc.), Japanese audio with subs only). 00 still hasn't recieved any sort of box set, and the movie is the only 00 release on Blu-Ray.

    Excluding 00, all series released in North America have a box set (under the Anime Legends title) for a rather reasonable price. This includes 08th MS Team, 0080: War in the Pocket, 0083: Stardust Memory, Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack, F91, and all the alternative universe series (excluding X, and Turn-A, etc.).

    Both Igloo (0079-related, sub-only) series, unfortunately, were licensed to Bandai Visual USA (NBH decided it was a good idea to establish a competitor for BEI..) and as a result, are massively overpriced and rare as BV USA is long dead.

    Gundam 0079, as mentioned previously, will have its (likely final, for a good long while) release on Feb. 7th with the release of the 2nd half of the collection. Code Geass R2's box set drops that day too, for anyone interested.

    As for if any of them will get a Blu-Ray treatment? Doubtful; I don't see any of the remaining North American suitors for BEI to license to, wanting to make that investment until they are sure Gundam will still sell enough. I suppose it can still happen, but that relationship kind of needs to exist first (and it will likely only be newer series, in all likelihood). Short of DVD dying completely, I don't think a 32-year old series like 0079 will ever see a Blu-Ray release; its ancient animation is probably a much harder sell to any non-Gundam fan (and even to some Gundam fans).

    Edit: So, based off a 2ch thread, the staff of Gundam U.C. have expressed interest in the post-U.C. 100 era in a recent Great Mechanics magazine interview. In other words, more speculative fuel as to how Unicorn may end; and if that ending will create an opportunity to finally animate the storylines of the second century (Mars Zeon stuff from F90, possibly making F91 not a shitty compressed movie, and the entirety of the Crossbone saga, including Ghost).

    Spoiler: show
    Granted, any such thing would likely be afew years out yet (assuming AGE will be done with the standard 50~ episodes and recieve no televised sequels), but seeing interest is always a positive. There is certainly enough material to allow as many as 60-65 TV length episodes with little filler.

    However, Gundam: The Origin, the 0079 retelling penned by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko is in production or limbo; so it will most surely come before any further developments in the 2nd Universal Century. Speaking of which, there's been basicly no further news on The Origin; definitely looking like an AGE-related damage control move, announcing it before there's any animation to show.

    Back on any post-Unicorn stuff. Just as long as they don't pull an Episode 4 and compress or skip things so thouroughly to alter something so seriously as they did Loni Garvey. She went from being part of the Federation oppressed Muslim minority (being only the second time Gundam has actually addressed Islam, the other being ZZ's Africa-arc) and having a motherly side in the novels, to being an unsympathetic monster in the OVA.

    Following the Dakar declaration, there was a sudden change in the Federation on it’s standpoint towards the AEUG and the Titans. At the lunar surface industrial city of Epsilon, A radical group within the AEUG calling themselves the Real AEUG launch an attack on a mobile suit factory and a battle breaks out between mobile suit forces. The Real AEUG is a group that has alienated itself from the main forces, thus rejecting the speech Char Aznable made as leader of the AEUG… and they demand Anaheim hand over the Full Armor Hyaku Shiki Kai!

    Following up on IC's manga bump..

    Chapter 2 of Crossbone: Ghost has been out for afew days.

    Spoiler: show


    Font, Curtis and Belle take shelter in an underground room of the former Zabi residence. Here, Curtis bargins with Font. We learn that a member of Serpiente Tacon managed to obtain information on Zanscare’s invasion plan and it’s part of the same information that Font came across on the net. In exchange for joining them and helping their cause, Font and his family is afforded protection. However, as the two make their preparations for escape, Zanscare forces appear in the colony! When the smoke clears and the suits dealt with, a mysterious mobile suit belonging to the “Circus” special forces appears…
    Dat Colnigs-type (variant.. I guess?). Also, page 11 marks the first appearance of the MSM-06 Jurick in any medium outside of its MSV-R spot (if anyone was wondering what the fuck that was in the background).

    Dezil was such an incredible brat. From his annoying voice to his childish actions. The episode was great though, but it sucks his MS didn't blow up >_>. I guess he'll be coming back as a baddie for the second "age"

    Thank gawd it's out. I still have the RAWs for 10-14, and my Kanji/Hiragana reading skills are terrible.

    Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 'The Black Unicorn' Blu-Ray & DVD [Episode Synopsis Added]
    Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 'The Black Unicorn' Blu-Ray & DVD (Theatrical Release Date: May 19th 2012, Blu-Ray & DVD Release Date: Jun 8th 2012)
    Episode Synopsis [Spoilers Below]:
    Banagher is attacked by the black mobile suit Banshee, and taken into custody. Backed into a corner, he still continues to conceal the new coordinates leading to Laplace's Box which were revealed by the Unicorn Gundam. Bright, the commander of the Londo Bell, sees in Banagher the dignity and possibility shown by generations of Gundam pilots, and he finds help from old firends he once fought beside.
    Meanwhile, Mineva has been handed over from Ronan to Martha, and she is transferred to the giant transport plane Garuda as a pawn to make Banagher talk. The conflict surrounding the Box soars to a high altitude and, finally, back into space...

    Kai Shiden sighting (although pretty much all the surviving White Base crew/groupies will likely make an appearence, they're even getting a theme apparently) confirmed.

    Also, over/under on Sayla (probably Judau's little sister as well; unless something happened between ZZ and UC) inexplicably appearing? She didn't in the novel. If Full Frontal IS Char in the OVA.. the possible conflict between them over their own relationship (and lingering feelings for Amuro she may still harbor) would be pretty great to finally resolve.

    Good chance we see the original Argama in this episode or the next too; the staff hinted at it in a magazine short interview recently (in line with the amusing uncertainty of the Grey Phantom's fate for almost 20 years.. 1992-2011). It'll probably have been undergoing refits like the Nahel Argama was during CCA.. so, that's cool. It would kind of make sense for it to finally materialize this long-unseen 3rd Londo Bell fleet (Ra Cailum and its companion Clop-classes comprise the first, the second is a small assortment of Clops and maybe the Irish from the 2nd episode, and the fourth is the Nahel Argama).

    Spoiler: show
    Too bad it's probably gonna be fodder for a certain weapon in the finale.


    Also, this should mark the introduction of the 3rd OST.. so like, roughly 12-15 variations on prior songs/some new ones (including the Banshee theme and this supposed "White Base" theme).

    New official MG Banshee images..
    Spoiler: show




    Also, the March-issue of Gundam ACE MSIDTC featurette talks about the Dooben-Wolf (modernized Katoki version) in the Bande Dessinee manga. There is also some suggestion that the Sleeves will be re-introducing MS like the Dooben-Wolf, Zssa, and even Bawoo (a welcome addition) in Ep. 5. Remains to be seen what others we'll see, the Dooben-Wolf was the 3rd place winner out of that poll awhile ago. I'd definitely count on the Barzam (bonus if we get the original AND Refined variant) and Zeta Plus (atleast one variant, probably the space-capable ones) making appearances too.
    Spoiler: show


    Also; to pad this post abit more: Zeonic's release of Iron Mustang Chapter 2.
