We report on Chara-Hobby 2011's 'Gundam.info Shuccho-ban in Makuhari!', including the Harutoshi Fukui appearance!
All the news from the Gundam AGE/Gundam UC-focused event!
Chara-Hobby 2011 was held in Makuhari Messe, Chiba over the last weekend of summer vacation, August 27th-28th. On the 28th, Gundam.info Shuccho-ban in Makuhari took over its main stage to bring you the latest in Gundam news!
The MCs were Hisayoshi Suganuma and Takashi Ifukube. These familiar personalities from NACK5 FM's Hoshizora Sunrise brought even deeper, hotter Gundam talk than you hear on the radio!
First, Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, set to broadcast on TBS and MBS affiliates beginning at 5:00 PM, October 9th. Not only was the newest trailer shown, but Minami Kuribayashi was announced as the ending theme singer for the first time. Ms. Kuribayashi appeared on video to talk about her enthusiasm.
The Mobile Suit Gundam SEED HD Remaster project was also discussed. A video message was sent by director Mitsuo Fukuda, hard at work on the remaster. Director Fukuda spoke of his work on new animation and music remixes to bring out the work's quality.
Next, we come to Mobile Suit Gundam UC episode 4, set to hit the big screen and paid streaming on November 12th. To find the best parts of Gundam UC, we invited author Harutoshi Fukui and announced the top three results of the 'best scene' poll! These were gathered by polling on Gundam.info.

Mr. Fukui expected #2, Unicorn Gundam's activation in episode 1, to take the top spot, but Daguza's final fight in episode 3 edged it out. His own favorite, Audrey's first hot dog in episode 1, ranked in at #15.
Fukui: This scene flying or not determined Gundam UC's 'moe potential'. The staff went over it for a long time during production. Looking over the original scenario, we were sure we had something for adults. But we needed something to hook the current generation of viewers. The mecha quality was all there, but we needed something a little slice-of-life, too. We paid special attention to the hot dog's color.
From left to right: Suganuma, Fukui, Ifukube. Production on episode 4 is proceeding full apace. The focus is mecha scenes, and Fukui himself describes it as 'a field day for mecha'.
A special trailer for Gundam UC episode 4, At the Bottom of the Gravity Well, was then unveiled.
Appearing in the video was Bright Noa! An internal debate raged over the question of whether to add white to his eyes, with the final decision a smal spot to fit with other characters while remaining true to his First Gundam roots.
An October 1st premiere and concert by Hiroyuki Sawano and a live orchestra were also announced. Six cities (Osaka, Okayama, Niigata, Shizuoka, Nagoya, and Hiroshima) will host advance screenings beginning October 25th, and Shinjuku Picadilly will hold an all-night screening on November 11th. Gundam UC continues to steam ahead.
Fukui closed the event with a message for fans.
Fukui: ''Gundam UC' is produced with a budget and schedule that may never be matched. As a fan myself, I feel lucky to be able to follow it as it's produced. I hope you all support it to the conclusion!'
