With the story produce by Level 5′s Honcho, Akira Hino, famous for Izuma 11.
The story is going to be about a family and how they will fight to repel an alien type named UE, in the story, there are quite a few references from the original Gundam, like the 100 year war.
Why AGE? Cause the Gundam, this time comes with a AGE System, capable of adapting itself, auto pilot? or 8?
Either way, let see how it will turn out, the anime is expected to be out in Fall 2011.

Many of us have already seen Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer. For those that missed it, don’t worry. You didn’t miss much. Only this in-show trailer that seems 10x better than the actual show itself.
The year is not yet up, but the first few months of 2011 promises to be very exciting with various events & releases set to roll out.
First up, I shall start with the 2 new PSP titles set for release in January and February respectively.
Personally for me, PSP releases for the year of 2010 has been nothing short of atrocious and yes, that includes MHP3. Let’s not get started on that, and instead, let’s look at something more interesting.
Fans of fast paced mecha action will be very happy, as the re-owned Another Century Episode series will be hitting the PSP consoles on the 13th January.
It will also features game system whereby the player can gain attribute points for the pilot used and for the mecha deployed in missions, and a cross over attack which 2 units will perform a high critical if not, fatal damage to an enemy unit.
Just to get some of you readers more interested, here is the list of mechas set to appear in the game.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeta Gundam
MSZ-006 Z Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counter Attack
RX-93 Nu Gundam
MSN-04 Sazabi
Previously, we have reported that in a certain china amusement park appeared a orange colour Gundam statue. This news was also told to the public in Japan via cable and national TV.
And a big uproar ensues, so much so that there is a heated debate in among the Japanese forums. Some chosed to christen the China Gundam as “Gansaku” or counterfeit in Japanese.
Fuji TV even went down to the amusement park in question to check on the “Gansaku”. When they were there, the picture of the Gansaku was in the middle of a remodeling after complains of it being too similar to the Gundam in Japan. Even thou on the shoulder pieces still printed the wordings EFSF and WB.
It was told to the FUJI TV crew that the Gansaku is a completely original design and in no way related to the Gundam in Japan.
However Sotsu. inc, the company incharge of the Gundam copyight, trademark and merchandising is not talking any chances and are now thinking of flexing it’s legal arm.
Best of all, the amusement park later denied the existences of the statue and it was no where to be found. But eye witness accounts mentioned that the statue had been removed by the park.
Still this might not be the end of the park’s trouble for designs very similar to the Ultraman have been found in the park… …
Nissin Noodles today announce the the RX-78-2 Gundam Refill Cup noodle, available for limited time only.

According to Nissin, this is to encourage the masses to use reuse the cups and reduce waste, thus a “fun to eat ec0-style”. The bundle will be available from November 22nd, while stock last. Price of the Cup is open, whatever that means…
