All of Z Gundam, 2 Gundam UC Trailers Now Streaming (Updated)

ANN is now streaming the entire Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam science-fiction television anime series with English subtitles, as well two more subtitled trailers for the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam UC video anime series. All 50 episodes of Zeta Gundam will remain online until April 22.

Streams of the first Mobile Suit Gundam television series (with English dubbing) and the 2002 Mobile Suit Gundam Seed television re-imagining (with English subtitles) will follow on February 20. As with Zeta Gundam, they will remain online until April 22. The Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny sequel will debut online with English subtitles on March 25 and stay online until May 30. Another television series, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, will debut on the YouTube and Crunchyroll websites later this year. The most recent Gundam television series, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, is already streaming on YouTube and Crunchyroll.

Bandai Visual Japan will distribute the first Japanese/English Blu-ray volume of Gundam UC from the Amazon website exclusively for two months starting on March 12. The anime adapts Harutoshi Fukui's 10 novel volumes of the same name, which are set in the same Universal Century (UC) timeline as Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise's first Gundam series, Zeta Gundam, and the other sequels. Bandai Visual's first Blu-ray Disc volume for the series will have a simultaneous international release with Japanese and English dubbing, as well as Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Chinese subtitles. The first of six DVD volumes will ship on the same day with Japanese dubbing as well as Japanese and English subtitles.
