No, you're not alone. Very Happy I'm also looking forward to the official version, and if the English dub is good it'll save me from having to split my attention between reading subtitles and watching the actual scene.

I think this is one of the fewest Gundam series that I will own. The story still captivates me.

As long as the first half does well, they will surely get the second. The first half's "ending" is clearly just a stopping point. I expect Bandai to announce the second half closer to when it actually matters (i.e. they have at least started to release the first half).

I was slightly under the impression that Gundam doesn't sell well in America and so I thought that they might pass this one by. Is Bandai going to try and put this on American Television as well?

forgot that in Japan there's going to be blu-ray release...

it will be nice if Bandai Entertainment release this title on blu-ray as well...

from HD fansubs i watched, the CGI and animations were amazing...it will be a waste to release it on SD...

I'm glad I just finished downloading the first and second halves of the fansubs today Smile

Have yet to watch but the visuals do look fantastic. Bandai better be releasing this and GL in Blu-Ray with an awesome LE release.

I'm looking forward to it. Now if they would also get around to the other Gundams that haven't been released here in the States. I would love to see Turn A, Victory, ZZ, etc...

I enjoy the song Caramelldansen as much as the next techno-pop-ophile, but I think I've seen enough of this meme. Overkill much?

C'mon! Blu-Ray release!!! This show was awesome! Can't wait for the second season!

Also hopefully all the cards fall into place so we can get Macross 0 and also Macross Frontier on blu-ray!

Gundam00 would be cool with a good dub. Particularly if they can get accents rght since there's like an international cast of characters here!

This may be the first non-Universal Century Gundam production I ever purchase.

With Crunchyroll taking down Turn A, X, Victory, and ZZ, I wonder if that means they will be licensed soon, too. Probably not, but a Gundam fan can dream, can't he?

I wonder if in fact they'll do a dub for this show. The accents will be a challenge and if done badly could turn out very ugly. Maybe they'll just sub it like some of the other shows now a days or just have everyone speak "standard" American English. Razz In either case I'm curious as to how they'll handle spoiler[Tieira's change of pronouns in a few of the scenes. While the linguistic nuances may be lost, if there's a dub a skilled VA may still be able to get the emotion of the character across.] It'll be something at least compared to just a subbed release.

Hurry up and release it on Blu-ray! I really want to see this series!

And the other Gundams we don't have, too...
