A very short promo appeared after today’s episode of TBS/MBS’ “Toward The Terra”

announcing a new Gundam series. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Double Oh) is set to air at 6pm

on Oct 2007. The official site is up providing a streaming promo.

Known details are:
Setting - 2307 AD (”seireki”, Japanese for “anno domini”)
Characters - 4 Gundam Meisters, who pilot the mobile weapons.
Factions - Solestal Beings (not real sure on the English name right now), a private militia group whose purpose is to eradicate wars.
Tagline at the end of the commercial - “Rebirth begins through destruction”

Rumors about the series have been going around Japanese message boards for some time, especially after Sunrise registered several Gundam00 domains. The proclamation that the setting would neither be in the Universal Century of the original nor the Cosmic Era of Gundam SEED, as stated by Sunrise’s Yasuo Miyakawa, seems to have been followed through with. Staff members are yet to be confirmed although the most persistent rumor is that the series will be directed by Fullmetal Alchemist’s Seiji Mizushima.

yay no more seed crappyness hopefully
