We originally had this up last month, but it didn’t last long due to copyright issues as Bandai had whoever was hosting it take it down. But now the official Gundam YouTube channel has finally added it and we can present the two minute minute long spot to promote Gundam Reconguista in G. The series is set for an October 2014 debut in Japan after getting a compilation of the first three episodes for limited theatrical release there between August 23rd, 2014 and September 5th, 2014. With Yoshiyuki Tomino serving as the chief director, it will have character designs by Kenichi Yoshida and mechanical design by Akira Yasuda, Ippei Gyoubu and Kimitoshi Yamane.
The cast includes:
Mark Ishii as Beruri Zenamu
Yu Shimamura as Aiida Reihanton
Minako Kotobuki as Noredo Nagu
Ryota Ohsaka as Kurimu Nikku
Takuya Satō as Ruin Rii
Ayahi Takagaki as Many Anbasada
Yukari Fukui as Raraiya Mandy
Plot concept: Some time has passed since the end of the Universal Century, a history marked by space colonization and space warfare. Humanity’s prosperity, which ushered in a new era known as Reguild Century (R.C.), was believed to endure alongside the global peace.
It is the year R.C.1014.
The Capital Tower is an orbital elevator that rose above the Earth’s surface and linked Earth and space. As the conduit of the Photon Battery energy source to the surface, it is regarded as sacred. Beruri Zenamu is in the middle of training for the Capital Guard (established to protect the Capital Tower), when the tower is attacked by G-Serufu — a highly maneuverable mobile suit with technology that is not from any known country. Beruri, who joins the battle in the maintenance mobile suit Rekuten, successfully captures the G-Serufu. However, Beruri feels something for the space pirate girl named Aiida Reihanton who piloted the G-Serufu. It is the same feeling he has for G-Serufu, even though he supposedly never seen it before. The G-Serufu, which should only be operable under specific conditions, is somehow started up by Beruri. The objective of Aiida and the space pirates who attacked the Capital Tower, and the fate followed by Beruri who was chosen by G-Serufu, will lead to truths that will shake the entire Reguild Century era.
