A theatrical release of the first several episodes will premiere in Japan on January 17th, 2025. There is no premiere date announced for the regular run of episodes. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:
Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space.
When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.
Now their world is about to enter a new era.
Cool design, but the weird feet are gonna make the MG model a bitch to balance without a stand.
That’s a problem for Future Bandai to solve. The newest full series to get a MG I believe is IBO, and it took years to get that Barbatos.
I dunno, looks like the ankles should have good range of motion. If it’s enough to be able to plant both feet flat on the surface, I think it’ll be at least acceptable at standing poses.
The design is dope, but the HG kit is gonna be absolute sticker hell. Or they might just abandon the idea of color accuracy without paints entirely. Those dabs of yellow all over the place, the trim on the torso, pretty much all of the head that isn’t red or white.
They made a 30 second video on the HG kit. It’s looking pretty impressive, though of course we won’t know 'til it’s in our hands.
Bandai has been knocking it out of the park with HGs, especially the last generation or two. To the point where I was building Lfrith and got mildly irritated that there were any stickers at all. “You needed two more parts to eliminate those stickers. Two! And they’re tiny!” I’ve been spoiled lol.
