    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.
    No SEED. No Fukuda. I am incredibly happy right now.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Interesting. Nice to see a possible female gundam pilot. Cant wait until it comes out.

    Ooh, is it gonna be directed by the director of FMA. That'll be interesting. Probably can expect a lot of angsty teenagers like usual. By "solestal beings" it seems like it's going to be the same premise as a lot of the previous series. Gundam X's New Types, Seed's Coordinators, and a couple others as well probably.

    could the "solestal beings" actually be "celestial beings"? the info that masa quoted says they werent sure on the english name.

    Finally a new Gundam series. I've got high hopes for this and hope it delivers.

    Neither the director or other supporting staff aside from the creators should be listed. You should really think twice about caving into rumors since this is doing nothing but fueling speculation at this time... Bravo for that one, ANN.
    I sincerely hope that the rumor about the Series Composition being done by Kuroda is true. He was heavily involved in writing and doing series composition for Gungrave and also wrote the Scyred manga. I'm hoping he can bring some of the grit back into the Gundam franchise.

    Yoshida did the character design and some animation (including the 1st, 2nd and 4th EDs) for Eureka Seven.

    Again, alot of rumors flying around, and probably will be for awhile. But hell, I'm psyched. It's been awhile since i've had something to look forward to from the Gundam franchise.
