It was revealed through a live stream conference that a brand new Gundam series titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-blooded Orphans) will premiere on October 4, 2015. The series will be replacing Arslan Senki (TV), which is currently airing on Sunday afternoon.

The conference also revealed the main staff of the series as well as character designs:


Synopsis
300 years after the end of a great war between Earth and Mars called Yakusaisen (Calamity War), the Earth, losing the ruling authority during the war, structured a new world with a ruling system. A new war on Mars is starting while the Earth is in temporary peace.

The main character Mikazuki Augus, from Chryse Guard Security (CGS), was on a mission to protect Cuderia Aina Bernstein, who wants Chryse, Mars' city, to be independent from Earth's ruling. However, a group named Gjallarhorn started a rebellion, attacked CGS and Cuderia, and the adults in CGS decided to use the boys in the team as decoy to evacuate. Orga Itsuka, the leader of the boys, decided to use that as a chance to launch a coup d'état because the adults have been treating them badly for a long time. Mikazuki, with Orga's request to defeat Gjallargorn, uses Gundam Barbatos, a major mobile suit that CGS used during Yakusaisen to fight.

Once again, can't stress how weird this will be with Nagai and Okada. I'm hoping for a decent show, but right now my expectations are 0. They may be a good pair, but not for a mecha show. They both individually can't do mecha, but maybe together they may have a chance. Just maybe...

I'll check it out for sure, though I won't have high expectations before that, as it can range from really bad to really good.

This is definitely going to be a hit or miss imo. Also, the time slot indicates that the show will be at least 2 cour.

The music seems nice though, judging on the PV at least.

god damn it everything about the premise and the ideas behind it im so onboard for, but then you see the name mari fucking okada and my hype is multiplied by 0. I want to be proven wrong by this but i dont have hope for this being good. Still will probably be better than G-reco.

at least the guy doing the ost is phenomenal going off of how great nobunaga concerto's ost was as well as the trailer musc

That said, I'm pretty interested. I like the work I've seen of those two, just can't imagine their style in a mecha setting.

Really digging the designs. Very similar to the Gundam Legilis (AGE), as expected since one of the mecha designers is Kanetake Ebikawa, who did 00 and AGE.

I really hope we get another Gundam 00 like story, since the PV is showing a really militaristic feel.

The premise looks interesting, at least better than G-Reco. But Okada is there so there is good chance this can get messed up. Also no fujoshi pandering, please Sunrise.

Still waiting for a Crossborne adaptation...........someday.

Okada contributed greatly to a shitty fanfiction known as DEEN's Fate Stay Night and the second half of Aquarion Evol is utterly garbage. M3 wasn't much good either.

The other one mostly worked on romantic and drama series and while i personally liked Toradora!, i think it's a bit weird for him to be in a Gundam series.

Okada has a good reason to be hated or disliked tbh.

I'm not very familiar with the staff, except Masaru Yokoyama (he's great), so I'll have to wait and see what I'm going to think of this one, but I do think it looks very interesting. I'm always excited for more Gundam though.

I'm guessing it's gonna be 2-cour.

Am I the only one who doesn't Mari Okada here? I think she's fine.
Anyway, the premise sounds good; Ryvius-esque with the kids taking matters into their own hands.

wait you mean the first Fate Stay Night anime the animation in that one sucked and Aquarion Evol second off is garbage but gundam is known for its romance and drama I know because a character in build fighters never shut up about that

Well, that certainly is an interesting premise and staff to say the least. It definitely has the potential to become something worthwhile. So far, I do like the gritty feel of some of the characters and environment.

Gundam is known more for it's interesting plot, world building, conflicts, clash of ideologies and mecha battles than romance tbh. But romance wouldn't be a problem and there are some good ones in Gundam.

The real issue is Okada as you can see from her track record of mecha shows and ruining stuff.

My initial impressions left me thinking this could be a series in a similar vein to Gundam X, which wouldn't be too bad. But after thinking about it, I'm not quite sure what to think. I do like that the series will be exploring Mars to a certain degree, which I can't recall any other Gundam series really doing. Still, the combo of Okada and Nagai is not reassuring. Unless this series gets a second season, I'm guessing it will be 2 cour since that seems to be the trend for Gundam series nowadays.

Yeah I don't know what to think. Having a romcom girl write the script and a SoL director direct it just feels wrong. Plus knowing Okada wrote M3... Honestly wondering didn't they get any more fitting people on board the project or something

that said, the trailer looks quite hype. if it's anything to go by there's nothing to worry about

The only issue I have with this is the hair styles. One of the dudes have quite an outrageous hair-do. I think some of you already noticed.

Cannot say anything about Okada in her third role in series composition for mecha anime because I haven't seen either Aquarion Evol or M3. Then again, which Mecha anime has been worth anything more than just a time passing show in recent years.

I have seen some of her other roles in series composition — Gosick, Hanasaku, Nagi no Asukara, Sakurasou, Toradora, Zetsuen to Tempest, Kuroshitsuji, Selector, True Tears, Zakuro and most of these are either very good shows or much better than average at the very least. So, I wouldn't write her off without watching an episode or two.

The best Gundams have always been the OVA's in my opinion. 08th MS team, War in the Pocket and more recently Unicorn and Gundam the Origin. Of course the original Gundam and Zeta are great too. I've yet to see Turn A Gundam yet, but I've heard it's quite good. The Gundam T.V series coming out nowadays are nothing more than over glorified commercials to buy the model kits. I doubt this newest one is going to change this, especially considering Okada is the writer. She is in no way equipped to handle the type of drama and politics that come with the Gundam franchise. These are not cute little high school kids, these are war-hardened soldiers. This is not a mild highschool melodrama with love triangles and touchy-feely-emotions this is war and politics and death and destruction. I doubt she can properly encapsulate any of this and it's just going to turn into a giant mess. Even in the trailer I'm getting hints of this. It looks like fujoshi-bait where all the pilots are half dressed driving around these robots and moaning. At least wear a helmet. There's no way this is going to be at all serious and if it tries it's going to blow up in their face. The only type of value I see myself getting out of it is unintentional comedic value.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Well that's it I'm officially very sad.

I discovered Gundam with Wings when it was aired on french TV. Liked it quite a bit but then I discovered Gundam Seed and I was blown away and led to expect great things of this franchise.

Since then I watched a lot of different Gundam hoping to see something on par with Gundam Seed but I have never found something like that. I absolutely adored Gundam 00 though which was quite serious and had and amazing art style. The drawing and animation was top notch.

But since 2009 every single Gundam that was aired was a total let down, poor stories, atrociously annoying characters (what ? who said reconguista ? oh everyone...). I was so hyped at the announcement of the announcement 2 weeks ago...

Now that we saw the cast I have lost all hope for this one.

Please can someone do a proper mech anime again ? Something like Macross or old Gundams....or even Code Geass who was a lot more character centric than mechs but still had them.

Tomino is hit and miss himself

he has good works like Turn A Gundam, King Gainer, Zeta Gundam and such
but he has lackluster works like G Reco, Umi no Triton, Brain Powerd etc etc
