Fathom Events and Sunrise will screen the
film in the United States with an English dub on February 19
only. Sunrise is
working with y to produce the English dub for
the anime.
The anime opened in
Japan on November 30, and ranked at #4 in its first weekend.
Shunichi Yoshizawa (Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Gundam: Reconguista in G episode director) directed
the anime at Sunrise Studio#1. Harutoshi Fukui (Mobile Suit
Gundam UC) penned the script. Kumiko
Takahashi was in charge of the main
original character designs, and Se Jun Kim (Mobile Suit Gundam
Twilight AXIS) designed the characters for animation. Hajime Katoki and Eiji Komatsu were in charge of mechanical
design.
Sunrise describes the anime's story:
U.C. 0097, one
year after the opening of "Laplace's Box." Despite the revelation of
the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of
Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered.
The
conflict later dubbed the "Laplace Incident" is thought to have ended
with the downfall of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. In its final
battle, two full psycho-frame mobile suits displayed power beyond human
understanding. The white unicorn and the black lion were sealed away to remove
this danger from people's consciousness, and they should now be completely
forgotten.
However,
the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier, is now about
to show itself in the Earth Sphere once more. A golden phoenix... named Phenex.
The new project
is set in U.C. 0097 of the Universal Century (U.C.) timeline of the
original Mobile Suit Gundam series and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. The project's tagline is "The
Destination of the Newtype Myth."
