When you think new Gundam anime, the first thing that comes to mind is epic battles, anime politics, and diverging continuities that are hard to keep up with for the uninitiated. But what about the arguably most successful aspect of this multimedia franchise, when will it get its just due? Well wait no longer cause yes, we're getting a Gundam anime....about building Gundam plastic models. When you think about it it makes perfect sense, these hunks of plastic revolutionized not only product tie ins, but also the entire Japanese toy industry, as well as helping solidify the now standard "real" robot genre.
At the moment no real details are known other than it will be 3 episodes starting release this summer. No word on whether it's an OVA, or TV anime. My bet is and OVA though, with some probable tie in with an exclusive model kit.
For those uninitiated with the Gundam model scene:
