Crunchyroll is beefing up their Gundam properties with a series that was seen previously on the Sci-Fi Channel with Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The fifty episode series is now available on the service in its original Japanese language form with English subtitles for members worldwide outside of Asia. The series was originally produced and released for North America through Bandai Entertainment. Sunrise is currently bringing these shows out through Right Stuf.
Originally airing in 2007, the series was directed by Seiji Mizushima based on the series composition by Yosuke Kuroda. Yun Kouga and Michinori Chiba handled the character designs and Sunrise produced the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Hiroshi Kamiya as Tieria Erde, Hiroyuki Yoshino as Allelujah Haptism, Mamoru Miyano as Setsuna F. Seiei and Shinichiro Miki as Neil Dylandy / Lockon Stratos.

Plot concept: It is 2301, and the Kurdish Republic is fighting against the forces of Azadistan. A number of MSER-04 Anfs go against Workloader and small ground forces, mostly child guerrillas. The battle follows a young boy and his struggle to survive. A man’s voice is broadcasted across the battlefield, declaring that they are fighting for God and will destroy all who do not follow tradition.
