Gundam 00 (the newest gundam)
A 15-second teaser trailer , which aired during Saturday's Toward the Terra broadcast in Japan, has officially announced Mobile Suit Gundam 00 , the newest television series in the Gundam robotic mecha franchise . The series will air at 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays (after Toward the Terra ends in that timeslot) starting in October 2007 on MBS and TBS network affiliates. Gundam 's original sponsor Sotsu and original studio Sunrise will return for this installment. The story will take place in 2307 AD of our modern calendar system—which is different from the fictional Universal Century calendar of the first Mobile Suit Gundam series, the Cosmic Era calendar of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed , and the four other previously used calendar systems. It will be the first time a Gundam animated project officially takes place in our modern calendar system.
