From the time I saw the promo-image, I started to think of Gundam Breaker so this speculation gets my thumbs-up (for whatever that's worth)

Could the "new Sazabi/Nightingale hybrid" actually be a reference to Full Frontal's new MS that was teased in Unicorn 6?

[balofo]

The biggest clue is that its referred to as a new video project and not a new animation

that's the same thing they said for Stargazer and the Astray promo clips

Great Front?

[Xenosynth]

Great Front is the story mode of Gundam Breaker.

Nothing new except that the video will be released on b-ch as well.

I still mum on this issue but I have a hunch this is more than Gunpla.

Wow, outside of the backpack that Gundam is a retooled Strike. Seriously, if this thing doesn't have some direct connection to the Strike I'm going to be very surprised.

[HellCat]

Only thing is that's fanart from Pixiv which a Japanese blog seems to have posted as news and which in turn was reposted by GG.

Sources, people!

[Outlaw]

Well, I'm thankful to have been duped by fanart then.

>New Wing Gundam re-design from Frozen Teardrop to be unveiled in show with DLC code for Gundam Breaker in model kit to be released in October features hybrid mix of TV version and EW design

semi-confirmation on this part of the rumour

[HellCat]

And with that, I feel confident shifting my stock to this indeed being a Gundam Breaker web tie in project.

With the announcement of the MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero, there are some people citing this rumor as truth. While I have to admit that the announcement of the Proto Zero was brought up here (in a similar way, not really exact), I don't think that necessarily solidifies the rest of the rumor. The biggest thing that stands out to me here is that Gundam Breaker was released today (June 27th); it would seem strange to have a series meant to promote this game coming out after the game itself. Logic would, in my opinion, say that BF would start before Gundam Breaker came out and continue after the game was released (so starting BF, say, a few weeks ago, releasing an episode a week), especially considering that generally a game's strongest sales are in the first week.

Of course the fact that the Proto Zero wasn't 100% predicted doesn't necessarily mean that the rest of this cannot come true. I just find it strange to think that Sunrise and Bandai would tie in the promotion this way.

Possibly connected: the Daisuki platform will be down for maintenance from July 1st at 4:00 PM (JST) and will come back online July 2nd at 9:00 AM (JST), just three hours before the Gundam BF announcement.

Worth considering that if this will indeed all region stream, the same markets that can get Gunpla won't all be getting Breaker. Breaker itself surely exists to promote Gunpla but it's easier to stream a web series and convince fans the world over to combine $15 kits then it is to expect them to import and get much out of a Japanese language game.

That's true for the North American market for sure. But the rumor also states that BF will stream on Daisuki in all regions...however, Daisuki isn't even available in Japan. So really it would have to stream elsewhere also.

Well, if my reckoning of Japanese time is correct, is everyone looking forward to the announcement tomorrow night?

[RLZIII]

Absolutely! The announcement should be at 7:59 PM PST (Monday night) and 10:59 PM EST (Monday night). I've already taken off work (a bad thing for sure)! I find it strange that we haven't gotten any leaks; no magazine scans or anything (unless some of the info posted before turns out to be true). Makes the actual announcement that much more exciting!

I'll be blogging the event at www.gundamstop.com/blog for anyone interested in following the news; I plan to have translations up quickly if they aren't released in English.

[Amion]

I'm still holding out for it being a new AU. I enjoyed AGE, it needed some tweaks, but writing a very long fanfiction for it I can't help but feel endeared. A new AU then is anticipated by me, versus those who have a bad taste in their mouths and don't want another one so soon.

Well, I doubt we'll be getting one, this is obviously something to do with Gundam Breaker. Which will be news to me regardless since I don't know what Breaker is.

Stream is on! no need for proxy.

less than an hour

[Kyuzo Aoi]

Watched the streaming and I see Gundam Front...

and this definitely a TV anime...

It is called Gundam Build Fighters...

again, the intended demographics is similar to AGE based on the pictures...

Gunpla Beginners on steroids!

Again many 'serious' Gundam fans have a gnashing of the teeth moment...
