The announcement is literally for an adaptation. It'll adapt something, and given Sunrise's fixation on UC there's really no reason it won't be 0079. They were the ones who stipulated that 0079 should be the follow up to Wing after all. They want something that'll funnel fans in to UC, where there's lots of existing products those fans can buy. An IBO or Wing adaption won't do that.

It'll be a faithful adaptation of the novels.

I seem to recall there being an interview where he said he totally would make something in Hollywood if he could but that nobody there would be crazy enough to let him do what he wants. Unfortunately I can't find a source for this comment at the moment, so take it with a grain of salt.

He has definitely not been shy about how he has always wanted to direct outside of anime but never got the chance.

I think it'll be late UC if it's UC at all. If I remember correctly they did list a live action production in the outline for UC Next 100.

They listed a drama serial or something, which the internet tells me is the usual phrase for a TV show and not for a movie. Also, I'd be shocked if they made it late UC off the bat because late UC is such a hard sell even to fans of Gundam; never mind non-fans.

I don't know about an anime, but there will definitely be a manga adaptation. And a manga prequel. And a manga sidestory

Having never watched (much) of 0079 subbed, were the Black Tri-Stars voiced as "rednecks" or something similar in Japanese, or was that just a weird directing decision someone at Ocean made when they dubbed it?

Still kind of a shame that they couldn't get Michael Kopsa to reprise the role of Char, though, I have a bit of a hard time hearing him as anyone else in English.

To their credit, they do talk in a somewhat rough, almost blue collar manner in the Japanese.

So, the RX-79G Spartan Type from Thunderbolt. Is it actually a Gundam type Mobile suit adapted from the initial batch of Ground Gundams or is it just a thunderbolt sector GM with inflatable shoes that they gave a fancier head and a spear?

No.

It was snips of girlfriends' pubic hairs in lockets. Amuro gets Sayla's; they become an unambiguous romantic pair in the novel.

It is a rare Japanese good luck tradition. It's most famous for a handful of second world war pilots who bought into it, which is probably how the idea got translated into a gundam source that lifts vigorously from that period.

Perhaps in the sense that Russia experienced a colossal military buildup over the course of the war that by the time the Manchurian campaign started Japan was driven off the continent in a matter of weeks.

I'm starting to think that his name really was Quattro Vagina, not Bagina. I could believe that it was Bagina and the closeness of the name to Vagina was pure coincidence, it it weren't for Jamitov Hymen.

Not to mention how his name has been romanized as Vagina previously, or that those two are not the only examples.

Possible points for: In katakana "va" and "ba" are written the same most of the time. Hymen.

Possible points against: its pronounced with a "jeena" making it not the English vagina.

I think we all know the truth here.

Tri's dub decided a 14 year old boy from Japan who yells martial arts. He should be voiced by a middle aged Australian woman doing her best. Not that the other voice actors are good. But English Sekai is a voice I won't soon forget.

Well, if the Gods want to sacrifice Mark Oliver's magnificent hammy Rau in exchange for G Gundam Blu Ray with its dub intact, I'll take it.

Plus, isn't Rau voiced by Griffith? There's still hope he can make the landing on Crazy Rau
