Mobile Suit Gundam 00 ~ Update

Here we have an excellent picture of The Brilliant Green performing at the GUNDAM00×CODE GEASS GO!GO!5!FES‘08 event that was held on the 16th & 17th August. We have He who shall not be named to thank for this picture, which he posted on his excellent site, The Three Hoshi. Take a vist there for more news on the event itself. The band predictably (although rather dissapointingly) performed just one song, "Ash Like Snow" of course.



Here we can see the band looking very cool, and stylish as usual, with Ryo displaying a new (old style!) haircut, thank goodness, he looks years younger with his hair like this.

Also in recent weeks and months it has been confirmed that Mobile Suit Gundam 00 will be released in the west through Bandai Entertainment. The series will be broadcasted two episodes weekly on America's Sci Fi Channel, starting from November 17, 2008. You can view the first trailer here - Gundam 00 - Official site (English)

Also a Playstation 2 game, named - "Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Gundam Meisters" developed by Yuke, will be released on October 16, 2008 and will cover the entire plot of the anime. We should hopefully see buriguri's JRock anthem, "Ash Like Snow" appearing in the game in some form.

Thanks of course to He who shall not be named, and also NEO magazine, all Wikipedia contributors and the official Gundam site for supplying this information.

Yeaaah they look nice !! ^^

When I saw this picture yesterday, you can't imagine how MUCH I want to see and hear them again !!
Tomorrow it will be 6 months since their last stuff, I can't wait more !! HELP ME PLEASE !!

TOMMY'S DRESS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it.

They're are some more cool pics of the festival here - http://www.famitsu.com/anime/news/1217410_1558.html

It shows all the performing artists, and the voice actors reading, which I think is a very interesting concept, they should have made them dress up as the characters they do the voices for.

I second this~! Totally!

And as disappointing it is that they only played one (old) song, I'm just glad they're out, about, and doing something. Now we need new material!!

Will the western countries have "Ash Like Snow" as the opening ?

Wow, Tommy looks so cute with that dress!
I wish we could get to see the performance somehow! I'm also interested in watching Stephanie singing "Friends".

probably, since gundam isn't going on cartoon network or anything.rather a channel where they don't change the openings. Which is awesome, cuz then they'll get a bigger fan base to the west!!!!!!!

Yeah for sure, and opening get changed less and less nowadays anyway. All the anime I am watching or have watched recently on DVD and on Satellite TV has had the original Japanese openings and endings.

it's great to see Shunsaku plays bass, he is my bass guitar hero.
