Kouga Yun’s original character designs are shinning nice and brightly in the trailer — that was the one piece of information that was given back when news of a new Gundam series was announced, and that it’ll air this October. Kouga Yun is most known for Loveless , a Shonen-ai (boy-love) manga series. Knowing that, i’m sure you can understand why many Gundam fans aren’t to happy with the character design choice — especially after the female fanbase Gundam Wing had. If you know me, then you’ll already know that i’m a Kouga Yun fan, and look forward to seeing how her style works for the Gundam franchise. Her being a Gundam fan is also a wonderful bonus — i’ll post some of her fanart this week.
For information on the story, you can check the recent post, over at ANN (Info’ on story, and the main characters which you can see in the trailer). You also must check out the official site for the series, which i’m sure shall have added information in time.
Now starts the wait to find out who’ll be doing the musical score.

00’s designs don’t bug me, but I never saw Wing.
And new Gundam is always a cause to rejoice. I don’t think they’re done with SEED yet, but most likely they want to erase the bad memories of Destiny before starting a third SEED project. I’m probably wrong, though.
SEED has a much larger female fanbase then Wing does (That and Wing is 12 years old), so that would be a better comparison. As for the teaser…Sorry, Code Geass Season 2, but this is my most anticipated show of the fall now.Kouga Yun has been a favorite of mine for some time (Love her Gundam art), and the mecha desgins look amazing. Now if only we knew what the story was.
You already know that I think this is terrible.
I just wish Yaz designed every Gundam series ever jeeze
Rah: ANN has a story summary :9
wildarmsheero: I’ll send you a few copies of Loveless, just so you can prepare for October. :3
