It has been confired that the next Gundam animated series will in-fact be Gundam SEED Destiny. Information regarding the series and pics of the Impulse Gundam can be found on the Gunota Headlines site: www.aeug.blogspot.com/Personally I have mixed feelings on this. I'm excited that SEED is getting a sequel but I don't care for the Impulse Gundam's design, it's very generic as are the character designs. I am looking forward to the return of Athrun and Cagalli as well. It's nice to see them finally give an AU series a sequel, people often say that none of the other AU's got a sequel because the story was all wrapped up. Well MSG was "all wrapped up" when it finished as well and they still managed to make a ton of UC sequels and spin-off's. -Phenotype

Dammit, I've not even barely begun SEED over here yet! ;D I'm glad to see more, though, I just hope they don't go nuts with Gaiden, SEED already has Astray, Astray R (Focus on Lowe Guele and the Red Frame), Astray B (Focus on Gai Murakumo and the Blue Frame), X Astray (New plot, w/ new characters Canard Pars and Prayer Reverie, and their respective Gundams, the Hyperion Gundam (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/astray/cat1-x1-3.htm), and the Dreadnought Gundam (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/xastray/ymf-x000a.htm)), and that's not counting the SEED Manga series! WAH! I'm certainly glad they're retaining most of the same staff, as one can never go wrong with Ookarawa's stuff (Although maybe having him do the base designs and letting Studio BEE-CRAFT do the final cleanup would be nice), and Hisashi Hirai's character designs are the first in a Mobile Suit Gundam series to actually be somewhat attractive (Male and Female) I'm done, and cannot friggin' wait.

I would like some more UC, though, something instead of the apparently awful G-Savior (Great mecha design, though )

I'm very glad Gundam SEED is a getting a sequel also. Although I haven't finished seeing the series, I imagine its sequel will be very good. I kind of like the Impulse Gundam... is that the Aile Striker pack on it?

*Shrug* With Gundam having done nearly every variation, it's probably nigh impossible to come up with something that hasn't been done and keep it remotly looking like a Gundam.
SEED seems more like a parody of the origenal Gundam series to begin with. Best to have fun and just enjoy the ride.

Pheno: Endless Waltz was a sequel ONly 3 eps. and a comp. movie but still. Hopefully this will be better than SEED, but seeing as how it's basically gonna be the same crew, if SEED was basically MSG + Champion Edition, Destiny already sounds like Zeta ++ ........ Character designs are generic, Shin looks like Kira who dyed his hair to look more like Athrun........ Impulse looks horribly generic, I mean the Original Gundam has more character than this thing. Ookawara is losing his touch at an ALARMING pace. Raider, Calamity and Forbidden were horrible thrown together ugly designs but he redeemed himself with Justice and Freedom (Even if both looked like stuff he'd done before already, Justice not so much though). I'm sorry but Ookawara has been designing Gundams since the ORIGINAL TV Series, his imagination for making somewhat unigue Gundams is rapidly drying up. He needs to stick to doing enemy MS and non Gundams, he seems to be a bit more imaginative with non Gundams even if alot of them end up looking like Zakus. Him designing multiple Gundams for one show is taking a toll on him or he lost his mind after designing all those Gundams in G. I mean yeah I can't do better but thats why I'm not a mechanical designer. At least Fujioka is on board, he's got a nice clean style and he's good at livening up old designs. Someone get Katoki, Nagano, Kawamori, Akutsu (Please let Akutsu do something), Fujita, Izubuchi or the Beecraft crew on the phone quick.

I like Ookarawa's work, I just think he should be doing base designs, and let BEE-CRAFT or Katoki do the cleanup. Similar to what they did for Turn-A. Kawamori'd be nice, but I really want Katoki, and I'm pretty sure Izubuchi's still busy with RahXephon.

Kawamori'd be nice, but I really want Katoki, and I'm pretty sure Izubuchi's still busy with RahXephon. Don't get me wrong, I sound like I' bashing Kunio, but I respect him alot. It's just sad seeing him fall from grace. It was like sitting through End of Days and The Seventh Day and shaking your head at the state of Arnolds career at the time. Kunio is a very competent mech designer but his Gundam designs recently have either been ugly, rehashes or both at the same time. I HOPE he steps it up a bit like he did with the Last three GAT's compared to Justice and Freedom.......*prays*
