Website for new Gundam Series online!

Don't know how recent the launch is, but Bandai has now launched a website for "Gundam00," which is currently in its second season in Japan. It will air in mid-November, (although online rumors place it on either Nov 10 or 17). This anime is currently very popular in Japan and airs on Sundays. Among some of the things we saw last week going on in Tokyo was the release of the PS2 Game based on this series, model kits available in major toy stores, and lots of buzz all around. I managed to catch one episode; and while my Japanese is close to non-existent, I could already tell that the battles are very well scripted and choreographed. Also they already hinted at ties between characters on opposing sides. (Of course both of these are to be expected of any Gundam series). Later on I will be making a full post on the general Gundam scene in Tokyo as of mid-October. For now let's just say it was everything I expected and more!
