Its probably going to be a stupid little plot ( because of only 3 eps, 15mins x) So they could roll in some more new model kits and make a fortune. Then stores of japan will buy more than a million model kits, thinking its going to sell very well. 3WEEKS LATER, clearance sale....
Based on the lack of posting in the last 3 weeks I take it that no one has new information on this?
News has pretty much dried up on this issue for the most part but stick around things pop up every once in a while.
I take it back heres a bit of news on stargazer:
Starting June, a promo video of CE73 Stargazer will be available at Bandai Channel. While no specific date has been mentioned for the release, Bandai Channel will also carry the actual OVA in early Summer.

Gundam Seed Eternity
Well, I got some information interesting information that just came out and just to let you know i'm not sure it's true, but if it is it sound's rather interesting. Well, once I hear more i'll post it up, thanks.

C.E. 77. 4 years have past unknowingly after Kira Yamato and his companions defeated the ambitions of Gilbert Dullindal. Representative Athuran Zala of the international coalition, [ETERNITY]- an organisation bridging the Naturals and Coordinators and even to various countries in the world - busy fighting against rebel terrorists groups attempting to overthrow the new world order, together with his friend Kira, who four 13To counter this threat, Athrun sent Mwu, Yzak and Deakka to lead the army of Eternity. However, there is a traitor under the control of Asutea Rainhato - Geren Mageniasu, and his subordinates: Viru Ryumieru, Sakura Erusenu, and Orin Girufato. The battle came under control because of the 4 gundams piloted by them. Amidst these, the ace of Eternity, Kei Minato, piloting [SPLASHER GUNDAM], Aishia Selinu, piloting [GARNET GUNDAM], and Leon Vizunado, piloting [CELSIUS GUNDAM] obstructed his way. The new sword shall begin it's descent.
Also with regards to the Stargazer thing,i thought Phantom Pain was just the unit that Neo commanded.Now they change the script and say it's a private army?I've always wanted to see how Strike,Buster and Duel would perform as a team,as the original G Project intended.This could be cool,if only they'd toss in an updated Aegis and Blitz as well.All these updates to the old G Project units are expected.Afterall,a military who updates its existing units is far wiser than one who just discards the old ones and replace them with new slightly higher end models
i'm pretty sure the above was already featured in a thread some time back but there wasn't too much proof to back it up and some of the things (like the Gundam names) really seem to point towards the above being a fake.
if what Chris_Xion saying is true, that means Dearka and Yzak are also in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Lets hope it is real and I hopefully it will be good even though Fukuda is the director.:(
Stargazer Shizuoka update
The promo video shown at the Shizuoka Hobby Show reveals the following info:
New character, Edmund du Clos - George Nakata
Theme song, "Stargazer ~Hoshi No Tobira~" ("Door Of The Stars") by apparent newcomer Satori Negishi
Gunota.
the above post regarding "eternity" has already been dismissed as a hoax.
the true future of the SEED continuity lies in Stargazer, followed by a new SEED motion picture. this is the first full-length Gundam motion picture since Gundam F91. this news was announced at a recent convention in japan, accompanied by a teaser trailer (featuring no new footage), featuring new voiceover by the japanese voice actors for Athrun, Kira, Shinn, Lacus and Cagalli. this motion picture, i would assume, is slotted for release either late this year or early '07... and we can hope for a sub shortly thereafter.
i think it's safe to assume that this upcoming SEED motion picture will cap off the series, just like Char's Counterattack did for Universal Century's Amuro Ray/Char Aznable rivalry. at this point, however, there is no further information in regards to this announcement. i'm sure we'll see more posted as it becomes available to us.
in the meantime, let's enjoy the short-lived entertainment of Stargazer... i'll keep watching Ergo Proxy and waiting for a sub of Zeta Movie III.
But it's a damn compilation movie!Not even comparable to Char's C-A
I never heard anything about the movie being a compilation.
I thought we're talking about the newly announced SEED movie which is the 4-part Special Edition currently in the works

It would rock if, in the movie, Shinn would start hating Kira again (even though Destiny's ending hinted at some kind of friendship). I don't even need an explanation to why, I just want them to fight, or rather, I just want Kira to die.
Yes it's about time that happened however, i think a few rape scenes are in order.Quote:

Excels in close-quarters combat with weapons concealed inside its shoulder armor, arms, and underside of its shield. Further, in contrast to the Assault Shroud on ZAFT's original Duel, the Blu Duel's reinforced armored entire body has PS armor."
Verde Buster
"A unit developed by Actaeon Industries based on the GAT-X103 Buster. The cannons that were on its hips were moved to the shoulders so the hips were equipped with newly developed beam cannons. With the increase in firepower, reinforced armor, and its bayonettes, it's close-combat ability has been upped considerably."
Characters:
Edmund du Clos (in addition to previously posted info)
"Bachelor. Retired from the army when the war ended in C.E. 71 and was appointed security personnel in the DSSD's Technology Development Center on the outskirts of Fortaleza, South America. At the time he retired, he had been a lieutenant commander. Has a strong sense of responsibility and takes good care of others. Because of that, he is the kind of person who gets unnecessarily involved in things. And so when his sister's son was orphaned, he offered to raise the boy himself. As someone who was once a soldier, he naturally has much resentment towards his ZAFT battlefield rivals."

Upgrades on Duel and Buster eh? I can only imagine the excitement that Deakka and Yzak fanboys/girls might have... But I wonder if they will actually pilot these units?
The more I see about Stargazer the more I wish it will be more than the 45 minutes planned.... but why do I have the sinking feeling I'm going to regret those words?
As much as I would want em to pilot them masamuneehs they are piloted by 2 natruals from the phantom pain unit.
