Gundam 00 licensed by Bandai Entertainment
Bandai Entertainment have announced their license for Gundam 00 at Comic Con 2008. ANN report. At this point, we are assuming that this includes both seasons of the TV series.
Feel free to discuss the topic in this thread. And as usual, any discussion about where to download Gundam 00 anime is no longer allowed. |
I assume this is for both seasons, like with Code GeasS?
|
That's unannounced. The ANN news only says 25 episodes though.

I believe this is relevant to your interests: http://zip.4chan.org/m/res/1439173.html

On a different note, Bandai Entertainment seems to be trying to secure a television broadcast for Gundam 00. Given the Gundam franchise's lacklustre ratings in the US, I'm curious as to which American channel would be a likely candidate for such a broadcast. If no broadcaster jumps at Gundam 00, there's a good chance that it might show up on Canadian TV first. |

“This is an exciting new incarnation of Gundam, with amazing animation, hard SF, post 9/11 storytelling, and an international appeal not seen since Gundam Wing. We are pleased to be bringing this much asked about series to the U.S.,” said Director of Marketing Robert Napton. |
Quite interesting that they are trying to bring 00 into US for broadcast. A good sign, perhaps? Especially after the lukewarm reaction towards Seed.

It would be nice if this series did indeed revive the whole gundam franchise in the us.

Comparing Gundam 00 to Gundam Wing is also a pretty obvious move - Gundam Wing was the only Gundam show to make much of an impact in the US, and it's likely that the initial press releases for all the Gundam TV shows mentioned it (with the possible exception of Zeta Gundam). Quote:
Despite the two markets' seeming similarities, it's a very different story in Canada since both Seed and Destiny were well received (and well-treated for that matter) there. As a result, the outlook for Gundam there is much rosier. Quote:

YES! I KNEW IT TOO! I've been waiting for this! Allelujah! When will the first volume of this come out!?

I hope Bandai releases 00 in Full HD or else I'm going to pissed off... And I hope they let the voice actors watch through the whole 25 eps before they get anywhere near the mic :).
Yes... Bandai noted how Gundam Seed/Destiny was a faliure by not mentioning it. Why? Because most of the content which made it good to most viewers; the fanservice :p, was cut out of it. Luckily 00 doesnt use fanservice to support it! There isnt much of 00 I would cut out of it (lets hope they dont get rid of the blood, because that will just be friggn stupid considering how live action movies have way more blood than anime). Another reason is the bad airing time for GS/GSD... |

Seeing as FUNimation has the TSUBASA series covered (seasons 1 & 2). Quote:

Hmm, wow they're covering both seasons. I kind of was already expecting this after seeing what happened with Code Geass.

To be more specific. Most DVD's may be in the 16:9 widescreen formatting, but that doesnt mean the actual pixel resolution of the video is HD. Standard DVD resolution is typically 848x480p which is in a 16:9 form factor. Actual High Definition video that comes on Blu Ray discs or HD broadcast is either 1280x720p or 1920x1080p |
seeing as the protagonist of 00 is a former middle eastern terrorist, I really doubt it'll go over well in the states. brace for macekre.

You really have to admire Gundam 00 for its gutsy originality, I mean when was the last time a show came by featuring an Islamic terrorist turned peacekeeper/atheist as the main star? |
I really don't see Gundam 00 coming to the states. Unless they do some major editing.

Can I speculate on possible voice actors?
Setsuna F. Seiei: Brad Swaile Allelujah Haptism: Johnny Young Bosch(?) Lockon Stratos: Yuri Lowenthal Graham Aker: Steven Jay Blum Of course, the above cast is only going to work well if you have a very, very good voice director. Kris Zimmerman from MGS, G Gundam's voice directors, and Cowboy Bebop's voice directors are good examples. |

MS Gundam 00 will definitely have these unedits, when they eventually hit the DVDs. So whether or not you don't see it happening. It will happen. |

I'm a Muslim myself and... I just wanna know...:( |
Depending on your background, some people do find it offensive regardless of the changes. Most people also think that everyone who is Muslim is zomg terrorist as well, but that's a political discussion for another day. There shouldn't be any problems with this series here stateside.

now, back to Gundam... |

Its release was delayed a time or two though, wasn't it? :p @Stratosphere: Kind of. Full Metal Panic!'s release was delayed because of its proximity to 9-11, when we weren't the most accepting of Islam and the middle east in general. |
I don't really worry about the content of Gundam 00 if it comes over. All the problems come from the annoying interest groups:frustrated:
The problem for me is show can get any good time. Not posted in the later hours like Gundam seed on Cartoon Network or Sci fi Channel. If it is on another network, I might as well go to another country or watch on the internet. |
I don't think terrorism will be much of an issue. It's not like it's going to air at prime time on network TV. It will probably be broadcast largely uncut in a late night time slot on Adult Swim, and anything on Adult Swim is bound to offend somebody. They'll probably follow it with a show about a talking butt... :rolleyes: I guess they could try an early evening time slot on Cartoon Network like they did for Wing back in 2000, but that's highly unlikely because they're currently airing Scooby Doo around that time.

Toonami has a even worse lineup than scifi, at least they show Macross which is better than redudant shows of boring Ben1-, Goosebumps, and other boring things.
Gundam Wing was a miracle in itself:D |
